Non-Executive Director Resignation

Gemfields advises that Mr Erich Clarke resigned as a Non-Executive Director of the Company on, and with effect from,
7 January 2019 due to other commitments. The Company is in the process of confirming a replacement for Mr Clarke,
including his role as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee.

Mr Brian Gilbertson, Chairman of the Board, commented:

“It is with regret that we say farewell to Erich for he has served the Company well, particularly on the Audit Committee,
and brought valuable operating mining experience to our deliberations. It is important to note that the Company’s
Audit Committee has been functioning well and providing appropriate rigour to the Company’s financial reporting.
Erich’s resignation is unrelated to his work with the Company.”
