Moma update

Kenmare Resources plc (LSE:KMR, ISE:KMR), one of the leading global producers of titanium minerals and zircon, which operates the Moma Titanium Minerals Mine (the "Mine" or "Moma") in northern Mozambique, provides an update on the recent protests in Mozambique, including in areas surrounding its Moma Mine.

The safety and wellbeing of employees, contractors, and the Company’s host communities remain Kenmare’s highest priorities and there are no reported injuries to date at the Mine. The Company is monitoring the situation closely and is taking precautionary measures to ensure the continued safety of its personnel and the integrity of its facilities. Contrary to some media reports, senior management have remained on the mine site and no employees have been evacuated.

While the majority of protestors have engaged peacefully, a proportion have been involved in civil disorder and criminal activities, including commandeering and damaging vehicles, some of which have subsequently been returned. However, there has been no damage to Company facilities and operations at the Mine are continuing as normal.

The presence of authorities on the ground has increased, which has calmed the situation over the weekend. The Company remains committed to maintaining open communication with all stakeholders to support the swift and peaceful resolution of the situation.

Kenmare will provide further updates as required.
