Kenmare Resources plc ("Kenmare" or "the Company") 
 
               Kenmare's Development Association wins 
                 Nedbank Capital Green Mining Award 
 
 
27 October 2009 
 
Kenmare Resources  plc's development  association,  KMAD, has  won  a 
prestigious award for  its activities  aimed at  social and  economic 
enhancement  of  the   communities  surrounding  Kenmare's   Titanium 
Minerals Mine in northern Mozambique. The award was presented at  the 
Nedbank Capital  Green Mining  Awards ceremony  held in  Johannesburg 
last week. 
 
The Nedbank Socio-Economic Award was  made by a panel of  independent 
and expert adjudicators  following an  interview and  three day  site 
visit  to  examine   the  work   of  KMAD  and   meet  with   project 
beneficiaries. The awards attracted a  record number of entries  this 
year, with  a good  number  of quality  entries, resulting  in  stiff 
competition. Nedbank is one  of the largest  banking groups in  South 
Africa. 
 
Nedbank particularly praised  the fact that  KMAD's development  work 
began before  mining  commenced, that  it  has an  overall  strategic 
vision and a 'bottom up' approach, as well as close partnerships with 
international and local Non-Governmental Organisations and Government 
bodies. 
 
Just four weeks ago, Kenmare Resources plc won the President's  Award 
for the  best  International  CSR  Programme  from  the  Chambers  of 
Commerce  of  Ireland,  in  association  with  the  Irish  Government 
Department of Community Affairs, at a ceremony in Dublin. 
 
KMAD  works  alongside  the  community,  business,   Non-Governmental 
Organisations  and  Government  to   run  and  support  projects   in 
education, income generation,  health, savings &  credit, sports  and 
food security. 
 
Charles Carvill, Chairman  said "We  are delighted that  the work  of 
KMAD has  been  recognised  with  this  highly  respected  award.  It 
recognises the commitment of Kenmare and the staff of KMAD,  together 
with partner  organisations,  in implementing  projects  that  create 
sustainable economic opportunities independent  of the mine. I  would 
also like to  acknowledge the funding  support received from  private 
donations as well a number of organisations such as Dutch development 
bank, FMO."
