Update on Company Secretary Dealing, Cancellation of Issue of Equity and Total Voting Rights update

LONDON, 30 JUNE 2022

Further the Company's announcement earlier today, pursuant to which shareholders were advised that Gemfields had issued and allotted 1,391,000 new ordinary shares of USD0.00001 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") following the exercise of share options by Toby Hewitt, Gemfields' Company Secretary and General Counsel, shareholders are advised that Toby Hewitt has cancelled his share options exercise and accordingly the Company has cancelled the issue and allotment of 1,391,000 new Ordinary Shares.

The applications made for the new Ordinary Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM and the JSE, both of which were expected to occur on or around 1 July 2022, have been cancelled.

Shareholders are advised that there are 1,183,356,037 Ordinary Shares in issue with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote. This is also the total voting rights figure which may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine whether they are required to notify their interests in, or a change to their interest in the Company.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON GEMFIELDS

Gemfields is a world-leading miner of responsible 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 licences 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 through Fabergé designs, 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 that has played an important role in the growth of the global coloured gemstone sector.
