The latest update is out from Gemfields Group ( (PLLHF) ).
Gemfields Group Limited is taking strategic steps to address four major challenges that have impacted its recent emerald and ruby auctions. These challenges include oversupply in the emerald market due to discounted Zambian emeralds, lower premium ruby production, a weaker luxury market influenced by economic issues in China and geopolitical tensions, and civil unrest affecting logistics in Mozambique. In response, Gemfields is implementing cost-cutting measures, including suspending mining at Kagem in Zambia and halting non-essential spending in Mozambique, while focusing on completing the second ruby processing plant at Montepuez by mid-2025. These actions aim to streamline operations and ensure continued growth despite temporary market disruptions.
