The exit of Kwale-based miner Base Titanium next year will result in the loss of about 870 jobs while the State will forgo billions of shillings in taxes and royalties per annum.

The company’s Australia-based parent firm Base Resources says there are not enough titanium resources to sustain the operations beyond December 2024, bringing to an end the most successful mining venture in the country’s history.
