Production levels down for Kenmare

Production levels at Kenmare Resources’ Moma Titanium mine, in Mozambique, are expected to be slightly hampered this year because of weak power supplies in the north of the country.

The Dublin-based mining company, which completed the overall expansion of the Moma mine during the final quarter of 2013, is currently working with the country’s energy supplier, Electricidade de Mocambique (EdM) on a number of projects aimed at making the grid more reliable and boosting output.

However, improvements are expected to take most of 2014, which is likely to hinder Kenmare’s production levels.
