London-listed Kenmare Resources, which operates the Moma titanium minerals mine, in northern Mozambique, has reported a fatal incident involving a police officer in the early hours of September 30.

The deceased was assaulted while on guard at the mine’s water pump station in Pilivili, about 16 km from Moma’s mineral separation plant, the company says in a statement.

During this incident, he sustained significant head trauma. He was taken to the Kenmare Clinic within Moma’s camp, but he passed away.

The incident appears to have been motivated by theft, with the electrical cable that feeds the pump station stolen, Kenmare informs.

The Mozambique police have dispatched an investigation team from Nampula to site and Kenmare is liaising with the commanding officer to support the process. The company says it is also increasing security provision at Moma to allow security personnel to work in pairs.

“We are deeply saddened by this tragic incident and extend our sincere condolences to the police officer’s family, friends and colleagues.

“At Kenmare, the safety and wellbeing of all those involved in our work, including those maintaining law and order, is a fundamental commitment. We are actively supporting the investigation and working closely with the police of the republic of Mozambique,” MD Tom Hickey says.
