Justin Loasby Appointed Chairman of Kenmare Resources plc 
 
 
Kenmare is delighted to announce the appointment of Mr. Justin Loasby as Non- 
Executive Chairman of Kenmare Resources plc with effect from 23 January 2012. 
 
Mr. Loasby (64), a British citizen, joined Kenmare's Board in August 2011 as a 
Non-Executive Director. He has extensive experience of African mining from his 
former position as Associate Director at the European Investment Bank, 
Luxembourg, where he led the EIB's financing of development of the mining sector 
in Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean from 1994 to 2007. In his early career, 
he worked in investment in the City of London, notably at Morgan Grenfell & Co 
Ltd and at 3i plc. Mr. Loasby's appointment follows an extensive search led by 
senior recruitment consultants Egon Zehnder. 
 
Mr. Charles Carvill has been Chairman of the Company since 1986 and has led its 
development from a junior exploration company to a mining company producing 
approximately 7% of the world's titanium minerals and 4% of its zircon, and 
expected to increase to 10% and 6% respectively following completion of the 
current expansion of the Company's operations. 
 
Charles Carvill said: "I am delighted to welcome Justin as my replacement as 
Chairman. For some time I have been seeking the opportunity to appoint a 
successor to this very rewarding and challenging role. To this end, we met many 
impressive candidates and it is with much satisfaction that I announce the 
culmination of this effort. Justin has an excellent understanding of the Company 
and a clear vision for its future success. He will maintain the Company's high 
standards of corporate governance. He will also be an outstanding custodian of 
the contribution we seek to make to the communities in which we operate and of 
our environmental values. Kenmare has overcome many challenges during my 
stewardship and I hand over a Company which has solid production in an 
environment where output prices have significantly increased. I know that Justin 
will ensure that the Company remains flexible and responsive to the market as it 
builds on these successes. Finally, I would like to thank the Board and 
shareholders for their support during my tenure as Chairman." 
 
Justin Loasby said: "Charlie has been an exceptional Chairman and has steered 
Kenmare throughout the very difficult development period. I hope to add to his 
stewardship by further enhancing corporate governance, maintaining the same 
spirit within the Company and enabling its continued commercial success." 
 
Justin Loasby's appointment will be effective from 23 January 2012, Kenmare's 
next Board meeting, following a handover from Charles Carvill.
