Richland Resources to Sell Gemstones Online from September

(IDEX Online News) – Gemstone miner Richland Resources Ltd has announced the launch of its B2C website richlandgemstones.com. The online platform offers fully certificated loose-cut gemstones or set jewelry. An extensive range of tanzanite products under the newly developed Merelani Tanzanite brand are currently available, while the first blue and colored sapphires from the Capricorn mine are anticipated to be ready for sale in September.

The company also announced that its delayed first Sight sale is now scheduled to take place during the third quarter of the year. The delay was caused by a slower ramp-up at the Capricorn Sapphire mine due to an electrical issue, which has since been rectified.

“Despite the disappointment of the production delay during the first few months of ramp up I believe we made the correct decision in delaying the first Sight sale,” said CEO Bernard Olivier.

“Our product display at the June 2015 Hong Kong Jewellery Show, was well received by major gemstone trade buyers, manufactures and distributors.  We shall be hosting a number of mine site visits over the next few months as part of our brand development programme. This will enable industry players to see the Capricorn Sapphire mine, plant and grading facilities in operation.”
