Africa-Press – Mozambique. Shortly before midnight on Sunday 12 February 2023, an attack attributed to insurgents took place in the village of Nairoto in the Cabo Delgado province of Mozambique.
The village of Nairoto lies: (i) approximately 15km south west of the exploration camp of Nairoto Resources Limitada (“NRL”), in which Gemfields owns 75%; and (ii) approximately 83km north of Montepuez Ruby Mining Limitada (“MRM”), in which Gemfields also owns 75%.
As a consequence, NRL has initiated the process of evacuating operational employees and contractors, and therefore operations at the site have ceased. There is no present impact on operations at MRM.
Gemfields, MRM and NRL hold the health and safety of their employees and contractors as their highest priority and remain in regular contact with government authorities.
