Notes to Editors:
Gemfields plc is the world's leading supplier of responsibly
sourced coloured gemstones and is quoted on the AIM division of the
London Stock Exchange (ticker: GEM).
Gemfields is the operator and 75% owner of both the Kagem
emerald mine in Zambia (believed to be the world's single largest
producing emerald mine) and the Montepuez ruby mine in Mozambique
(one of the most significant recently discovered ruby deposits in
the world). In addition Gemfields also holds a 50% interest in the
Kariba amethyst mine in Zambia, as well as controlling interests in
various other gemstone mining and prospecting licenses in Zambia,
Mozambique, Colombia, Ethiopia, Madagascar and Sri Lanka.
Gemfields' outright ownership of Fabergé - an iconic and
prestigious brand of exceptional heritage - enables Gemfields to
optimise positioning, perception and consumer awareness of coloured
gemstones, advancing the wider group's "mine and market"
vision.
Gemfields has developed a proprietary grading system and a
pioneering auction and trading platform to provide a consistent
supply of quality coloured gemstones to the global downstream
markets. This is a key component of the Company's business model
which the Directors believe has played an important role in the
appropriate distribution and associated resurgence of the global
coloured gemstone sector.
