About Us

Montepuez Ruby Mining (“MRM”), located in the north-east of Mozambique, is situated on one of the most significant recently discovered ruby deposits in the world. MRM is operated and 75% owned by Gemfields and 25% owned by Mwiriti Limitada, a Mozambican company.

Gemfields is a world-leading miner of coloured gemstones. In addition to MRM, Gemfields is the operator and 75% owner of Kagem Mining (“Kagem”) in Zambia (a world-leading emerald mine).

Gemfields introduced a proprietary grading system and pioneering auction platform, which have transformed the coloured gemstone industry. Today, the company implements and invests in industry-leading policies, practices and infrastructure across its operations; aligns with relevant industry standards to underpin its responsible approach; plays an active role in working groups to modernise the sector; and raises the profile of African gems through its global marketing efforts.

Gemfields funds projects to improve health, education and livelihoods for communities around its mines, supports local conservation partners and created the Gemfields Foundation, its charitable arm, which magnifies the scale of the work already carried out by Gemfields itself.

Gemfields and MRM value transparency, legitimacy and integrity, and believe that coloured gemstones should create a positive impact for the countries and communities from which they originate.
