Handover of Mineral Separation Plant at
Kenmare's Moma Mine
Three new sales contracts signed
Kenmare Resources announced today that it has issued a
Taking-Over-Certificate for Phase 2 of the Moma Titanium Minerals
Mine in northern Mozambique to the contractor building the project.
Phase 2 includes the Mineral Separation Plant, product warehouse,
mineral export facilities, and all related infrastructure. The
Mineral Separation Plant is now under the control of Kenmare,
operational, and producing final products which are being stored for
shipment.
Mining and concentration operations commenced at Moma in late April.
Since then a heavy mineral concentrate stockpile has been built up,
ready for conversion into final products in the Minerals Separation
Plant. Kenmare's customers are keenly awaiting delivery of product
from Moma. The market for titanium minerals has become increasingly
tight throughout the year. Three additional sales contracts have been
signed in recent months.
The Bronagh J, a 4,000 tonne self-propelled transfer barge, is making
final preparations to sail from Singapore to Moma. This barge will
transfer products from Kenmare's jetty and self-discharge these
mineral products into customer vessels moored offshore. The
Taking-Over of the Bronagh J will complete handover of the core
elements of the project.
Kenmare's Chairman, Charles Carvill said, "Now that we have control
of the plant, we are phasing the second mining dredge into production
earlier than anticipated to accelerate ramp up and to meet increasing
customer demand."
