Market overview

Coloured gemstone market increased 26% in 2014 and continued to expand in H2 2015:

• Gemfields rough emerald and ruby auction results indicate a considerable rise in demand for the low and mid quality gemstones closing a significant broad price range gap between the highest and lowest grades

• Conventional and online retail jewellery sales demonstrate significant growth in demand for coloured gemstones

• Global imports of worked coloured gemstones and pearls in 2014 stood at US$8.6 billion (“bn”) (2013: US$6.8bn)

• Emeralds, rubies and sapphires account for 58% (US$5bn)1 of the worldwide coloured gemstone and pearl market, an increase of 32% over the US$3.8bn2 reported in 2013

2015 prices and the potential for growth

• Current market prices show significant room for continued growth

• Coloured gemstones are setting new world records at auctions; a 25.59ct ruby was sold by Sotheby’s for US$30.3m in May 2015, the highest price ever achieved by a ruby, and the Hope Spinels, selling at £962,500 at Bonham's in September 2015 set a new world record price for rubies of £30,000 per carat.

• Emily Barber, Bonham’s jewellery department director predicts that coloured gemstones will drive the jewellery market in 2016:

“Without a doubt we are seeing the return of the so-called precious stones: emeralds, rubies and sapphires. Demand is very, very strong and record prices are being paid.”

Gemfields Plc

• Proprietary rough grading platform and auction process for rough emeralds, rubies and amethysts. Prior to Gemfields’ strategy there was no formal process in place with mined production largely being sold as a “mixed bag”

• Proven ability to deliver a consistent supply of high quality, well graded rough gemstones to the downstream market

• The Company believes that “who it sells to” remains as important as “how much it sells for”

• Supporting an increase in scale of global coloured gemstone beneficiation and jewellery manufacturing, distribution and marketing

• Demand for Gemfields products is increasing across all major markets; this is accompanied by a steady increase in achieved per-carat rough prices

A key component within Gemfields’ success and significant future
