The auction was held in Bangkok on Monday to Friday last week. Gemfields says 62% of the 297,449 carats of rubies on offer were sold at an average price of USD59.43 per carat. MRM is 70% owned by Gemfields and 30% by Mozambican partner Mwiriti Ltda.
"This mini-auction primarily featured medium and commercial grades of secondary material sourced from a recently developed mining area in the 'Maninge Nice' domain and where our processing activities have been concentrated in recent months," explains Adrian Banks, managing director of Product & Sales. "We are encouraged by both the results and the strong customer engagement, reflecting growing interest in this new material."
