Gemfields Group Ltd - London-based miner and marketer of coloured gemstones - Generates revenue of USD16.4 million from rough emerald auction held between April 11 and Tuesday this week, up 52% from USD10.8 million earned in an auction that took place in August and September last year but down 4.1% from USD17.1 million for the March 2024 auction. In latest auction, 32 of 36 lots for sale were sold. Average price is USD6.87 per carat. Emeralds were extracted from Zambian-based Kagem Mining Ltd, which is 75% owned by Gemfields.
"Today's result marks a notable improvement on the disappointing commercial-quality auction held in September 2024," says Adrian Banks, Gemfields' managing director of product & sales. "An increased number of bids and stronger prices across a broad quality-range point to improved sentiment and demand since our experience in Q3 2024," Banks says.
