Kenmare betreibt die Moma Titanium Minerals Mine, die an der Nordostküste von Mosambik liegt. Die Moma Mine enthält Ablagerungen von schweren Mineralien, darunter die Titanmineralien Ilmenit und Rutil sowie das Zirkoniumsilikat-Mineral Zirkon. Ilmenit und Rutil werden in der Herstellung von Titandioxid-Pigmenten und Titanmetall verwendet. Titandioxid-Pigmente haben eine hohe Deckkraft und eine brillante Weiße, die hauptsächlich in Farben, Papier und Kunststoffen verwendet werden. Die Hauptanwendung für Zirkon liegt in der Herstellung von Opazifiern für Keramik. Titanmetall ist ein leichtes, robustes Metall mit geringem Temperaturausdehnungskoeffizienten, das in der Luft- und Raumfahrt sowie in anderen anspruchsvollen Anwendungen verwendet wird. Der Bergbau erfolgt hauptsächlich mit Schwimmbaggern, die in künstlichen Abbau-Tümpeln schwimmen. Diese Bagger pumpen die Mineraliensande, die die Wand des Tümpels bilden, in eine schwimmende Nasskonzentrator-Anlage (WCP). Es entsteht ein Schwermineralkonzentrat (HMC), das anschließend zur nahegelegenen Mineralien-Trennanlage (MSP) gepumpt wird, wo es in Endprodukte für den Export über Kenmares firmeneigene Hafenanlage aufgeteilt wird. Der gesamte Betrieb auf dem Gelände wird mit hydrogenerierter Elektrizität betrieben, die über eine firmeneigene, 170 km lange 110-kV-Freileitung zum Standort übertragen wird. Die Möglichkeit des Baggerns, kostengünstigen Stroms und direkter Exporteinrichtungen von der Moma-Mine zu nutzen, sind wesentliche Unterscheidungsmerkmale der Moma Mine.

Travel alongside them in diverse modes, from RVs to seaplanes, as they uncover the hidden stories and histories of the mining world, offering a unique perspective on the challenges and beauties of the global mining landscape.
But the adventure doesn't stop with watching - viewers can dive into the action themselves with the Mine$tockers Fantasy Trading Pool. This immersive experience allows you to create your own trading portfolio with $100,000 in fantasy bucks and compete against the Mine$tockers throughout the season. The stakes are high: half of the growing cash prize pool goes to the top-performing trader, while the other half is earmarked for a charity of the Mine$tockers' choice. However, if the Mine$tockers themselves clinch the top spot on the scoreboard at season's end, the entire prize pot will be donated to charity. It's not just about watching investments unfold - it's about testing your own trading mettle in this high-stakes, real-time challenge.
