MRM Operational Update
LONDON, 24 OCTOBER 2022


On 20 October 2022, Gemfields updated the market regarding the Cabo Delgado insurgency and
Gemfields’ decision at the time to initiate an evacuation of operational employees and contractors
from Montepuez Ruby Mining Limitada (“MRM”), in which Gemfields holds a 75% interest.

The evacuation was initiated as an ample precaution due to an attack, attributed to insurgents, on
the morning of Thursday 20 October 2022 on a neighbouring ruby mine located approximately
12km south-east of MRM’s operations. MRM’s security personnel and the Mozambique police
force remained on site at MRM. The Mozambique military arrived at MRM later that day and will
maintain a presence for the foreseeable future.

Key operational personnel have now returned to MRM and basic operations have resumed.
Mining and processing activities are being resumed in phases after giving due consideration to the
threat perceptions in the licence area.

Gemfields and MRM hold the health and safety of their employees and contractors as their highest
priority. MRM remains on a state of high alert and maintains regular dialogue with government
authorities.
