ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON GEMFIELDS


Gemfields is a world-leading supplier of responsibly sourced coloured gemstones. 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
controlling interests in various other gemstone mining and prospecting licenses in Zambia,
Mozambique, Ethiopia and Madagascar.


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 coloured gemstones to downstream markets, a key
component of Gemfields’ business model and has played an important role in the growth of the
global coloured gemstone sector.
