US$13.5m Investment Agreement with Anvwar

23 Sep 2013 16:43

RNS Number : 6865O
Ferrum Crescent Ltd
23 September 2013
 



 

Ferrum Crescent Limited

("Ferrum Crescent", the "Company" or the "Group") (ASX: FCR, AIM: FCR, JSE: FCR)

 

US$13.5m Investment Agreement with Anvwar Asian Investment of Oman

Highlights

Ø Ferrum Crescent signs conditional, legally binding letter of intent with Anvwar Asian Investment ("AAI") to progress Moonlight BFS Development

Ø US$10m to acquire 35% shareholding in Ferrum Iron Ore (Pty) Ltd, which holds the mining right over the three farms that contain the Moonlight Deposit

Ø US$3.5 additional funds to contribute to BFS costs

Ø First BFS payments scheduled by end of year

Ø AAI representative Anvwar Al Balushi will be invited to join the Ferrum Iron Ore board and Moonlight Iron Ore Project steering committee

Ferrum Crescent, the ASX, AIM and JSE quoted iron ore developer, today announces it has signed a legally binding letter of intent ("Agreement") with Anvwar Asian Investment ("AAI") to facilitate the completion of the Company's bankable feasibility study ("BFS") at the Moonlight Iron Ore Project in Northern South Africa. Under the Agreement, AAI will pay US$10m to Ferrum Crescent in return for a 35% shareholding in Ferrum Iron Ore, which holds the mining right over the three farms that contain the Moonlight Deposit. AAI will also contribute US$3.5m to the on-going costs of the BFS. The Agreement is subject to the fulfilment of certain conditions precedent regarding confirmation due diligence and the receipt of applicable regulatory approvals.

The Ferrum Crescent interest in the Moonlight Iron Ore Project is held through the Group's direct and indirect shareholding in Ferrum Iron Ore (formerly named Turquoise Moon Trading), the shares of which are currently held as to 74% by Ferrum South Africa (Pty) Ltd (formerly named Nelesco) and as to 26% by Mkhombi Investments (Pty) Ltd. Subject to the conditionals precedent and following the investment, the shares of Ferrum Iron Ore will be held 39% by Ferrum South Africa (Pty) Ltd, 26% by Mkhombi Investments (Pty) Ltd and 35% by AAI.

AAI is an Oman based investment Company chaired by Mr Anvwar Al Balushi, who will be invited to join the Ferrum Iron Ore board and Moonlight Project steering committee upon completion of the agreement. The Moonlight Project provides AAI with potential exposure to an iron ore project capable of producing high-grade pellet product, located within 200km of established rail hubs. Ferrum Crescent has already undertaken extensive metallurgical testwork as part of the Moonlight BFS and earlier this year appointed DANIELI C. Officine MeccanicheS. p.A. ("Danieli"), a global leader in engineering services and equipment supply, as the process engineer for the BFS.

Under the Agreement, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent, an initial acquisition payment of US$1 million will be made to Ferrum Crescent by the end of November 2013, with the remaining US$9 million to be paid to the Company during Q1 2014. Funds received under the Agreement will be used by the Company to progress the Moonlight BFS and for working capital requirements. The additional US$3.5m AAI contributions to the BFS costs will be made in prearranged tranches as work progresses.

AAI was introduced to the Company by Dubai-based Naru Capital (which is part of the Naseba Group). Naru Capital is a capital introduction, deal facilitator in the emerging/growth markets, and a Director of that group played a pivotal role in bringing the parties together.

Commenting today Ed Nealon, Chairman, of Ferrum Crescent said: "AAI is an important strategic partner for Ferrum Crescent as we look to move the Moonlight Iron Ore Project towards construction. Moonlight is a unique project with metallurgy that shows a very high grade iron product can be produced and shipped using existing infrastructure."
