    • Meetings were held recently with the Mayor and councillors of the Municipality of Lephalale, and with leaders of the Ga-Seleka Community.

Such intended commitments relate to small community infrastructure projects, education assistance and employment provisions.

    • Discussions are continuing with potential domestic off-takers but remain at an initial stage only. These talks are centred around product type, specifications and quantum of product.

    • Further updates with respect to the abovementioned matters willbe made as and when appropri ate.


Commenting today Tom Revy, Managing Director of Ferrum Crescent, said:


"The BFS Phase 1 activities are on track to commence by the end of the current quarter, and I look forward to reporting on a regular basis thereafter as to the status of the Project as the various planned key BFS milestones are progressed.

"We continue to align the Project with the infrastructure plans of the South African and Limpopo governments and seek to address the aspirations and interests of such authorities and those of the local communities and municipalities. Our aim continues to be the maximisation of the value of Moonlight for the benefit of all stakeholders ."

Notes to Editors:

Ferrum Crescent's principal project is the Moonlight Iron Projectlocated in Limpopo Province in the north of South Africa. The Moonlight Deposit (upon which the Project is based) is a magnetite deposit locatedon the Moonlight, Gouda Fontein and Julietta farms and is the main operational focus for the Company. Iscor Limited ("Iscor"), which explored the Project in the 1980s and '90s, reported mineralisation capable of producing a concentrate grading at 68.7%

iron. At that time, Iscor concludedthatthe deposit, whichwas describedas being comparable to the world's best, was easily mineable due to its low waste-to-ore ratio. The beneficiation attributes of Moonlight ore are extremely impressive, withlow-intensity magnetic separation considered suitable for optimum concentration.


Metallurgical tests on Moonlight material, undertaken since then by Ferrum Crescent, suggest that Iscor's historical results are conservative, that good metal recoveries canbe achieved, and that the resulting concentrates have a high iron content and only negligible impurities, at grind sizes considered to be industry standard (P80 of 75 - 125 microns).


Key features of the Project to date are:


  • JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource;


  • Historical drilling, drilling by the Group, geological modelling and a high density geophysical survey conducted by the Company in 2012 confirm tonnage upside potential;


  • 30 year Mining Right granted;


  • Environmental licence (EIA) in place for the Moonlight mining area (approved 4 April 2013);


  • Metallurgical test work indicates the potential for high quality concentrate and /or pellets with in excess of 69% iron content and low deleterious elements (DR grade pellets for use in direct reduction iron/electric arc steel -making processes);


  • The quality of product that can potentially be produced at Moonlight is a clear differentiatoragainst its industry peers, as is the access to infrastructure (port, power and rail);


  • Duferco offtake partner (4.5 Mtpa plus first right on a further 1.5 Mtpa if not sold domestically). South Africa currently has a growing demand for high grade iron concentrate and/or pellets for its steel industry;


  • Independent valuation by The Mineral Corporation completed in June 2014 - this valuation served as the basis for the recent BVI (Ovation Capital) transaction;


  • BEE compliant South African investment company (BVI) will provide a completed BFS to the Group by 2018/19 at no expense to the Group in return for a 39-43% equity position in the Project;


  • Located near Kumba railhead at Thabazimbi (Kumba operation depleting in grade), Limpopo Province, northern South Africa;


  • New Eskom power plant (4,800MW) commissioning first 800MW module;


  • Richards Bay port expansion for potential export of future iron ore products; and

  • Local community, Ga-Seleka, has an effective 3% carried interest in the Project.
