Kenmare opera la mina de minerales de titanio Moma, ubicada en la costa noreste de Mozambique. La Mina de Moma contiene depósitos de minerales pesados que incluyen los minerales de titanio ilmenita y rutilo, así como el mineral de silicato de circonio, circón. La ilmenita y el rutilo se utilizan en la fabricación de pigmentos de dióxido de titanio y metal de titanio. El pigmento de dióxido de titanio tiene alta opacidad y blancura brillante, que se utiliza principalmente en pinturas, papel y plásticos. La aplicación principal del circón es en la fabricación de opacificantes para cerámica. El metal de titanio es un metal ligero y resistente con bajo coeficiente de expansión térmica, que se utiliza en aplicaciones aeroespaciales y otras aplicaciones exigentes. La minería se realiza principalmente utilizando dragas que flotan en estanques de minería artificial. Estas dragas bombean las arenas minerales que forman la pared del estanque hacia una Planta Concentradora Húmeda (WCP) flotante. Se produce un Concentrado de Minerales Pesados (HMC), que luego se bombea a la Planta de Separación Mineral (MSP) cercana, donde se separa en productos finales para su exportación a través de las instalaciones portuarias de propiedad de Kenmare. Todas las operaciones en el sitio son alimentadas con electricidad generada hidroeléctricamente, transmitida al lugar a través de una línea de transmisión aérea de propiedad de la compañía, de 170 km de longitud y 110 kV. La capacidad de utilizar la minería por dragado, energía de bajo costo e instalaciones de exportación directa desde el sitio en Moma son factores significativos que diferencian a la Mina de Moma.
