            Kenmare Announces Increase in Expected Zircon Production



At the AGM today, Kenmare announced a doubling of the expected zircon output
from its Moma Titanium Minerals Project.


A six month test work programme, performed by Roche Mining (M.T.), aimed at
optimising the zircon circuit, has demonstrated an improved recovery. Volumes of
Premium grade zircon are expected to increase from 24,000 tonnes per annum (tpa)
to approximately 34,000 tpa. In addition, a further 15,000 tpa of Special Grade
zircon will be produced.


Customers have already indicated strong interest in entering offtake
arrangements covering this additional zircon.


Charles Carvill said 'We are very pleased to have achieved this improvement in
the expected zircon output. There is a strong demand for zircon and we expect to
enter offtake contracts shortly'.
