The offer closed on 10 November 2014, and the $1.03m included shortfall shares issued after the offer closed).Β 

Commenting today Tom Revy, Managing Director, said:

"The last quarter of 2014 saw Ferrum Crescent appoint a senior study manager for the Moonlight Iron Ore Project and complete key tasks that will allow us to progress the BFS early in 2015 with the commencement of a new drilling program. We are now gaining real traction for the Moonlight project in terms of completing a BFS that defines the economics for a high-grade iron ore product located near infrastructure. On the ground we are delighted with the support that the Moonlight Iron Ore Project has from the South African local communities and municipalities as well as to the governments of South Africa and Limpopo and their agencies. This support will be particularly important as we move into the logistics-planning phase of the BFS. During Q1 2015 we shall be working with a number of groups on site at Moonlight to secure a new investment partner to complete the BFS".

Β 

Overview

Β 

Ferrum Crescent during the quarter carried out a non-renounceable rights issue and raised $1.03 million before costs. These funds were raised with a view to continuing the Company's strategy of securing key BEE and other cornerstone investors, as well as preparing the work-flows that will complete key components of the Moonlight Iron Ore Project BFS.

Β 

The Board made the decision to appoint a senior study manager to the Moonlight Iron Ore Project, and in December the services of Mr Ed Alymer were secured. Mr Alymer has more than 30 years' experience in the mining and mineral processing industries and has acted as senior study manager for project developments on behalf of Severstal, Vendanta, Goldfields and Ivanplats. Mr Alymer is based in Johannesburg, South Africa.

Β 

Mr Alymer, working with Managing Director Tom Revy, completed the planning for a new drilling program to assist in the preparation of a mine plan for the first ten years of operations and to collect samples for the next metallurgical testwork component of the BFS. The planned drilling program consists of 10 reverse circulation ("RC") holes with the work expecting to be complete during Q1 2015.

Β 

Ferrum Crescent is also undergoing a period of corporate development as the Moonlight BFS restarts. In December 2014 Mr Ted Droste and Mr Kofi Morna left the Board of the Company.

Β 

The process to secure investment partners for Moonlight continued to the stage where during Q1 2015 a number of groups will make visits to the Moonlight project as part of their own internal due diligence work.
