Charles Carvill, Chairman of Kenmare, said: 'The purchase of the Minerals
Separation Plant and completion of the Share Placing are further successful
steps in the realisation of our strategy to bring the Moma Titanium Project in
Mozambique to production in 2002.  The Definitive Feasibility Study is on
schedule for completion later this year and dismantling and preparation for
transport of the Wet Concentrator Plant, which we purchased earlier this year,
is more than half completed and proceeding well.'
