Gemfields is a world-leading supplier of responsibly sourced coloured gemstones. It owns 75% of Montepuez Ruby Mining in Mozambique, 75% of the Kagem emerald mine in Zambia, the Fabergé jewellery business and investments in Jupiter Mines and Sedibelo Platinum.
Investment summary
Gemfields has now completed the buyback of 143m shares at average price of ZAR1.50/share. Given the current weakness in the Gemfields share price (despite a solid set of half year results and stable coloured gemstone market), the company is seeking shareholder approval for a further share buyback for all or part of the remaining US$10.28m distribution pool.

Industry outlook
Investors concerned that weak diamond market conditions may also be reflected in coloured gemstones should take heart from Gemfields’ most recent auction results: at Montepuez Ruby Mining’s (MRM’s) June auction 98% of lots sold by weight and one lot achieved a record price per carat; Kagem’s August auction totalled US$18.6m – the highest for a commercial-quality auction since November 2015. Current diamond market challenges are most unique to that sub-sector with very limited read across to coloured gemstones.
