Staff remain safely on site at Moma despite protests, Kenmare assures
Dual-listed mineral sands producer Kenmare Resources has said that, contrary to some media reports, senior management have remained on site at the Moma titanium minerals mine, in northern Mozambique, despite recent protests in the area. No employees have been evacuated.
“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,” Kenmare said in a statement on December 9.
The company said that, while the majority of protestors 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, Kenmare assured that there has been no damage to its facilities and that 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,” the company said.
