Gemfields - operational update
Gemfields shareholders were advised that the Company has released information about its operational results and financial position to 31 December 2025.
Highlights
- Total auction revenues of USD 128.5 million for the year.
- Net debt position of USD 39.2 million (before auction receivables of USD 20.5 million) at 31 December 2025, as Gemfields finalised the funding of Montepuez Ruby Mining's ("MRM") second processing plant.
- The second processing plant ("PP2") at MRM is now in its final commissioning stage, with the project being delivered materially on budget. Commissioning is anticipated to be completed imminently. The Group looks forward to introducing the first rubies produced by PP2 to the market at the February 2026 Mixed-Quality ruby auction.
- Since focussed mining resumed at Kagem in May 2025, premium emerald recoveries have met expectations. Notably, the yield included Imboo, a 11 685-carat emerald displaying an intense, verdant colour. Kagem continued to run an additional night shift at the upgraded processing plant throughout 2025, which enabled processing of historic stockpiles, and has supported a positive outturn in emerald production.
