ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON GEMFIELDS




Gemfields is a world-leading responsible miner and marketer of 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 licences 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 through Fabergé designs, advancing the wider group's "mine and market" vision.


Gemfields has developed a proprietary grading system and a pioneering auction platform to
provide a consistent supply of coloured gemstones to downstream markets, a key component of
Gemfields' business model that has played an important role in the growth of the global coloured
gemstone sector.
