LONDON, 5 October 2022
In accordance with AIM Rule 17, shareholders are advised that Gemfields has issued and allotted 20,144,730 new ordinary shares of USD0.00001 each in the Company ("Ordinary Shares") following the exercise of share options by group employees and David Lovett (PDMR), Adrian Banks (PDMR) and Toby Hewitt (Company Secretary).

David Lovett exercised 7,000,000 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.30 per Ordinary Share and 1,184,200 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.97 per Ordinary Share. Shareholders are advised that David Lovett has exercised the above share options (8,184,200 share options in total) on a 'sell to retain' basis, meaning that David Lovett intends to sell a sufficient number of Ordinary Shares to satisfy his tax liability and costs of the associated transactions such that he will retain 1,400,000 Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of his options. Following the above transaction, David Lovett will own 1,442,000 Ordinary Shares, representing 0.12 per cent of the Company.
Adrian Banks is a PDMR of the Company. Adrian Banks exercised 6,000,000 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.30 per Ordinary Share and 553,900 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.97 per Ordinary Share.

Toby Hewitt exercised 1,500,000 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.30 per Ordinary Share and 191,000 share options at an exercise price of ZAR2.97 per Ordinary Share. Toby Hewitt intends to sell all of the Ordinary Shares from this exercise of options. Following the above transaction, Toby Hewitt will own no Ordinary Shares.
A further announcement will be made once the sales of the above Ordinary Shares by David Lovett, Adrian Banks and Toby Hewitt are completed.

Following Admission there will be 1,204,948,507 Ordinary Shares in issue with each Ordinary Share carrying the right to one vote.

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.
