Kenmare Statement 

 

Kenmare is not aware of any reason for the sharp deterioration over the last week in the Company’s share price.

 

The Company completed a successful share placing of US$30 million at Stg 32p on 29th August, which is more than sufficient for its funding needs based on forecast output.

 

As set out in the interim statement, the Board is taking all steps necessary to achieve target production. Kenmare is pleased to report that the production ramp-up of heavy mineral concentrate at the Moma Titanium Minerals Mine is progressing well, with production output for the first nine days of September 27% higher than the previous best month’s daily average production level.

 

The Company expects daily production rates to continue to improve during the remainder of September and in the following months.
