The total quantity of gemstones currently in the Company vaults, extracted during the exploration performed in the Kishon Mid Reach zone 1 and 2, (pre commercial mining), is 15,573 carat (as of December 31, 2019).

Commenting on the results, recently appointed CEO of Shefa Gems, Ms. Tali Shalem said:

"The year 2019 was a significant year of progress in the company's exploration, a fact that came to fruition in March 2020 when we received a "Certificate of Discovery" from the state of Israel. This was in spite of the difficult phase that the company went through upon the founder's untimely passing, and on slower business conditions upon the outbreak of the Corona pandemic. I am pleased to see that we are now moving forward with renewed powers and with a lot of motivation and innovation towards the realization of the founder's vision."
