Due to the anticipated depletion of ore which is currently being mined at the Moma Titanium Minerals Mine located in Nampula Province, north-eastern Mozambique, Kenmare need to relocate the existing mining operations to a new mining area, a proven resource referred to as the Nataka deposit, located directly west of Namalope, within Kenmare’s existing concession. The relocation of the mining operations  will ensure the provision of feedstock required to maintain the production rate of 1.2 million tonnes of ilmenite plus the co-products zircon and rutile, thus sustaining the capacity of the existing Mineral Separation Plant (MSP).
Coastal & Environmental Services (CES), Mozambique Limited was appointed by Kenmare Moma Mining (Mauritius) Limited and Kenmare Moma Processing (Mauritius) Limited (referred to collectively as “Kenmare”) to conduct the Environmental, Social and Health Impact Assessment for the proposed Tailings Storage Facility, Relocation Channel and Road Diversion at the Nataka Heavy Minerals Deposit, Nampula Province, Mozambique, in accordance with the Regulations on the Environmental Impact Assessment Process (Decree 54/2015 of 31 December).
