  • Gemfields Audited 2025 Annual Report Released

    Gemfields Audited 2025 Annual Report Released

    Gemfields announces the publication of the Company’s audited Annual Report and Accounts for the year ending 31 December 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”). The content of this short form announcement is the responsibility of the board of directors of the Company. Shareholders are advised that this short form announcement represents a summary of the information contained in the Annual Report and does not contain full or complete details of the financial results.

    Financial Performance Summary

    • Total annual revenue of USD 135.1 million (2024: USD 199.4 million), reflecting a disrupted emerald market in H1 2025 and a reduction in the recovered premium ruby grade at Montepuez Ruby Mining (“MRM”).
    • MRM’s financial performance has been impacted by persistently low premi um ruby recovery and heightened illegal mining encroachment, while the new processing plant’s full contribution has been delayed due to commissioning setbacks.
    • Mining at Kagem emerald mine (“Kagem”) was suspended from January until May, when focussed open‐pit operations resumed; since the restart, premium emerald production has remained encouraging.
    • Group operating costs reduced to USD 128.9 million (2024: USD 156.2 million) as a result of strengthened cost‐control measures initiated in 2024, and continued throughout 2025.
    • The Group completed the sale of Fabergé Limited to SMG Capital LLC for a total consideration of USD 50 million, delivering a material strengthening of the balance sheet.
    • Adjusted headline loss per share of USD cents 1.3 for the year (2024: Adjusted headline loss per share of USD cents 1.8).

    Sean Gilbertson, CEO of Gemfields, commented

    “This was a difficult year, with operational disruptions at both MRM and Kagem constraining our premium gemstone production, auction cadence and cash generation. Seven auctions generated just USD 129 million, reflecting both the shortfalls in gemstone availability and bumpy market conditions, despite continued pricing resilience at the top end of the ruby and emerald quality spectrum.

    Our focus for 2026 is on stabilising our operations, completing the final commissioning of the much-delayed second processing plant at MRM so its benefits emerge progressively through the year, and maintaining strict cost and capital discipline to protect liquidity and deliver deleveraging. The first half is expected to remain challenging as we iron out the new processing plant’s teething issues.

    We continue to monitor the challenging geopolitical developments closely. The situation in the Middle East has already increased costs, particularly fuel, and any further escalation could materially impact cost and market conditions. It remains too early to determine the extent of the impact on the year ahead.

    As always, and especially when the going is tough, our thanks go to our colleagues, host governments, business partners, customers and shareholders for their continued support as we navigate the assorted challenges.”

    Any investment decisions by investors and/or shareholders should be based on careful consideration of the full announcement as a whole. The 2025 Annual Report is available for viewing on the Company’s website at www.gemfieldsgroup.com.

  • Gemfields FY2025 Trading Statement Reports Improved Loss Per Share and Operational Challenges

    Gemfields FY2025 Trading Statement Reports Improved Loss Per Share and Operational Challenges

    Gemfields releases FY2025 trading statement highlighting operational challenges, improved loss per share, auction performance, and strategic priorities for 2026.

    Regulatory Disclosure

    In accordance with paragraph 6.26 of the JSE Listings Requirements, Gemfields shareholders are advised that the Company is reasonably certain of its expected financial results for the year ended 31 December 2025.

    CEO Commentary

    Sean Gilbertson, CEO of Gemfields, commented:

    “Further to our operational update for the twelve months to 31 December 2025, which was published on 30 January 2026, we are pleased to provide this trading statement ahead of the release of our annual results on Thursday 26 March 2026.

    Operational Challenges

    It has been a difficult year. The well documented operational interruptions at both Montepuez Ruby Mining (“MRM”) and the Kagem emerald mine (“Kagem”) weighed on output and cash generation. The delays to MRM’s second processing plant, PP2, combined with high levels of illegal mining and grade volatility, restricted premium ruby production and disrupted our auction cadence. While it has been producing rubies since September 2025, the delay in the final commissioning of PP2 is expected to continue well into the first half of 2026.

    Auction Performance

    Auction outcomes during the year were mixed. We held seven auctions realising only USD 129 million, with demand uneven and skewed away from lower-quality, smaller-size goods. While overall sentiment was fragile and volatility persisted, we have been encouraged by improved pricing throughout the year for high-quality emeralds and rubies. Cash generation was constrained despite disciplined cost control and a strong safety performance.

    External Market Factors

    The recent escalation of conflict in the Middle East adds further uncertainty to global energy markets. While diesel prices remain volatile, it is too early to quantify any potential cost impact on our operations; however, we continue to monitor developments closely.

    Strategic Priorities

    “Our priorities for 2026 are clear: stabilise operations, ramp PP2 up methodically to nameplate capacity, continue strict cost and capital discipline, and restore a predictable auction cadence. The need to further strengthen our balance sheet means that deleveraging is the primary focus of our capital discipline in the short term, with a view to providing us with the opportunity to broaden our capital allocation options in the medium term.”

    Results Announcement

    Release of Full Year Results and Annual Report:

    The Company’s financial results for the year ended 31 December 2025 are expected to be released on Thursday, 26 March 2026 via SENS, RNS and the Company’s website at 07:00am (UK) / 09:00am (South Africa).

    Financial Performance Metrics

    Expected loss per share and headline loss per share

    Loss per share for the year ended 31 December 2025 is expected to be USDc 2.6 (2024: Loss per share – USDc 7.0). In ZAR terms, the loss per share is expected to be ZARc 40.0 (2024: Loss per share – ZARc 129.0) improved 69.0% on prior year.

    Headline loss per share is expected to be USDc 1.3 (2024: Headline loss per share – USDc 2.1). In ZAR terms, headline loss per share is expected to be ZARc 21.6 (2024: Headline loss per share – ZARc 39.1) improved 44.8% on prior year.

    The Company’s weighted average shares in issue for the year ended 31 December 2025 was 1,476,650,587 (weighted average for 2024: 1,168,833,774 2).

    The financial information upon which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on by the Company’s auditors and is the responsibility of the Company’s directors.

    1 Per share metrics based on weighted average number of shares over the period and earnings are based on parent-only figures (i.e. exclusive of the minority interest).

    2 The weighted average number of shares in issue for 2025 and 2024 have been adjusted to reflect the bonus element of the rights issue in accordance with IAS 33, with no consequential effect on EPS or HEPS.

    Webcast Details

    There will be a shareholder and analyst webcast on Thursday, 26 March 2026 at 09:00 am (UK) / 11:00 am (South Africa). Sean Gilbertson (CEO) and David Lovett (CFO) will present the Company’s 2025 results.

  • GSI Organises Vietnam Ruby Mine Field Trip for CSP Students to Enhance Gemology Education

    GSI Organises Vietnam Ruby Mine Field Trip for CSP Students to Enhance Gemology Education

    Gemological Science International (GSI), a global authority in gemological education and certification, reinforced its leadership in experiential learning with an immersive field trip to the Luc Yen Ruby Mine in Vietnam for students of its Color Stone Professional (CSP) Program.

    Bridging Theory with Practice

    Bridging Classroom Learning with Ground-Level Gemology

    Organised from 18th to 22nd January 2026 for the CSP 9th Batch, the international field visit was designed to bridge classroom knowledge with on-ground industry realities. The programme offered students first-hand exposure to ruby geology, mining practices, gemstone sorting, valuation, and live market dynamics, while also fostering cultural awareness and team bonding.

    Exploring Luc Yen Ruby Mines

    Inside Vietnam’s Renowned Luc Yen Ruby Deposits

    Luc Yen, located in Vietnam’s Yen Bai Province, is globally recognised for its ruby and spinel deposits formed within metamorphic marble and gneiss formations. During the mine visit, students closely observed manual and alluvial mining techniques, gravel washing, and on-site sorting of ruby rough. Interactions with local miners provided valuable insight into yield variations, seasonal challenges, and the realities of small-scale gemstone mining.

    Market Exposure and Insights

    A key highlight was the visit to the Luc Yen gemstone market, where students witnessed real-time negotiations between miners, traders, and buyers. From understanding how colour, clarity, size, and cutting potential influence pricing to observing buyer psychology and market behaviour, the experience offered perspectives rarely accessible within a classroom environment.

    Holistic Learning Experience

    Beyond gemological training, the itinerary included cultural and recreational experiences in Hanoi, such as cave exploration, water rafting, and city sightseeing. These activities added depth to the learning journey, encouraging collaboration, cultural exchange, and holistic development.

    Leadership Perspective

    Leadership Perspective on Experiential Education

    “The future of gemology lies in education that goes beyond textbooks. Exposure to mines, markets, and global trade ecosystems equips students with confidence, context, and credibility,” said Meenu Vyas, Global Head Gemologist (GSI). “At GSI, we believe that true expertise is built when theory meets practice on the ground.”

    Commitment to Excellence

    Reinforcing GSI’s Commitment to Global Gemological Excellence

    The Vietnam field trip stands as a testament to GSI’s commitment to nurturing globally competent gemologists through immersive education, international exposure, and industry-relevant learning experiences.

    About GSI

    Gemological Science International (GSI) is the only major gemological organization established in the 21st century.

  • Auction Results: Mixed-Quality Rubies

    Auction Results: Mixed-Quality Rubies

    Gemfields announces the results of an auction comprised of mixed-quality rough ruby held during the period 9 – 20 February 2026.

    Highlights – Mixed-Quality Ruby Auction – February 2026

    • Total auction revenues of USD 53 million.
    • 121 of the 135 lots offered for sale were sold (90%).
    • 214,509 carats were offered for sale with 189,620 carats sold (88%).
    • Average sales price of USD 279 per carat.
    • This is the first auction to include material from MRM’s second processing plant, underscoring the contribution it is already making ahead of full commissioning.

    Adrian Banks, Gemfields’ Managing Director of Product & Sales, commented:

    “This auction, deferred from December 2025 to February 2026, was well attended and comprised a good selection of rubies covering a wide spectrum of sizes and qualities from our Mozambique ruby mine. It was particularly pleasing to see that the more fluorescent material from our newer mining areas was well received. Fine-quality rubies continued to perform strongly and demonstrated robust pricing.

    Bidding for certain qualities was more muted, a development we attribute in part to the additional product being brought to market from illegal mining networks operating in the MRM area combined with weaker demand from China.

    As MRM’s second processing plant approaches final commissioning, we look forward to maintaining Gemfields’ consistent supply of rubies to the market. We thank our customers for their continued support and wish them every success during the upcoming gemstone show season. Sincere appreciation is also extended to the dedicated team at MRM and our partners at Mwiriti for their continued hard work and commitment.”

    Auction Origin and Revenue Distribution

    The gemstones were extracted in Mozambique by Montepuez Ruby Mining Limitada (“MRM”) which is 75% owned by Gemfields and 25% by Mwiriti Limitada. The proceeds of this auction will be fully repatriated to MRM in Mozambique, with all royalties due to the Government of the Republic of Mozambique being paid on the full sales prices achieved at the auction.

    Auction Format and Participation

    The auction lots were made available in Bangkok for private, in-person viewings by customers. Following the viewings, the auctions took place via an online auction platform specifically adapted for Gemfields and which permitted customers from multiple jurisdictions to participate in a sealed-bid process.

    Auction Comparability

    The results of the five most recent Mixed-Quality MRM ruby auctions are summarised in the table below (and earlier results are available at www.gemfieldsgroup.com):

    Auction Results: Mixed-Quality Rubies
    Auction Results: Mixed-Quality Rubies

    The specific auction mix and the quality of the lots offered at each auction vary in characteristics such as size, colour and clarity on account of variations in mined production and market demand. Therefore, the results of each auction are not always directly comparable.

    MRM’s Second Processing Plant

    MRM continues to work in close collaboration with Consulmet and the relevant OEMs on the final commissioning of MRM’s second processing plant to triple the mine’s ore processing capacity. While the plant has demonstrated its ability to attain design capacity of 400 tonnes per hour, a number of further adjustments, refinements and component substitutions are required to deliver sustained operation at those levels. This work has not given rise to any materially increased costs for MRM.

  • Gemfields Announces Strong Results from December 2025 Commercial-Quality Emerald Auction

    Gemfields Announces Strong Results from December 2025 Commercial-Quality Emerald Auction

    The specific auction mix and the quality of the lots offered at each auction vary in characteristics such as size, colour and clarity on account of variations in mined production and market demand. Therefore, the results of each auction are not always directly comparable.

    December 2025 Commercial-Quality Emerald Auction Highlights

    • Total auction revenues of USD 25.4 million
    • 46 lots were offered for sale and 45 were sold (98%)
    • Average price of USD 7.46 per carat
    • The 53 auctions of Kagem gemstones held since July 2009 have generated USD 1.147 billion in total revenues

    Auction Mix and Comparability Note

    The specific auction mix and the quality of the lots offered at each auction vary in characteristics such as size, colour and clarity on account of variations in mined production and market demand. Therefore, the results of each auction are not always directly comparable.

    Gemfields’ Managing Director’s Commentary

    Adrian Banks, Gemfields’ Managing Director of Product & Sales, commented: “Today’s auction results mark a successful conclusion to a challenging year for Kagem. Following the temporary suspension of mining operations during the first half, the business has nonetheless delivered a strong performance for 2025, culminating in this auction’s solid contribution to USD 79 million of total Kagem auction revenues for 2025. The firm pricing seen across all quality categories demonstrates that the pressures experienced at the end of 2024 and early 2025 have largely subsided. Market sentiment has strengthened and the sustained demand observed since the third quarter of 2025 continues to underpin robust performance. We extend our appreciation to the Kagem team for their continued hard work and extend our thanks also to the Industrial Development Corporation of Zambia, Kagem’s 25% shareholder.

    Auction Viewing and Bidding Process

    The auction lots were made available for private, in-person viewings by customers in Jaipur, India. Following the viewings, the auctions took place via an online auction platform specifically adapted for Gemfields and which permits customers from multiple jurisdictions to participate in a sealed- bid process.

    Kagem Ownership and Proceeds Repatriation

    The rough emeralds sold were extracted by Kagem (which is 75% owned by Gemfields and 25% by the Industrial Development Corporation of Zambia). The proceeds of this auction will be fully repatriated to Kagem in Zambia with all royalties due to the Government of the Republic of Zambia being paid on the full sales prices achieved at the auction.
