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.
