Quarterly Activities Report

For the period ended 31 March 2014

Specialty metals exploration and development company, Wolf Minerals Limited (ASX: WLF, AIM: WLFE) ("Wolf" or "the Company") is pleased to provide the following update on the Hemerdon Project in Devon, UK, for the three month period to 31 March 2014.

Highlights from the March quarter include:

· Successful A$182.7 million (£99.2 million) Fundraise to complete funding requirements for Hemerdon Project, subject to shareholder approval.

· Share Purchase Plan launched subsequent to end of quarter to raise up to A$2 million.

· Ground-breaking ceremony to mark commencement of the Hemerdon Project.

· EPC contractor, GR Engineering Services Ltd, commenced construction of the Hemerdon Project.

· Company awarded Mine Project Finance European Deal of the Year for the Hemerdon Project.

The Company's Hemerdon Project (tungsten and tin) is located in Devon's traditional mining area in south west England, close to major ongoing china clay operations, and is the third largest tungsten resource in the world. When complete, the mine will feature an 850m x 450m open cast pit extending to a depth of 200 metres, plus a state-of-the-art processing plant and integrated mine waste facility.

Production is expected to start in 2015 and the mine is scheduled to produce approximately 3,500 tonnes of tungsten in concentrate annually - equivalent to approximately 3.5 per cent of forecast global demand.

Successful A$182.7 million Fundraise

In March (ASX announcement, 19 March 2014) Wolf announced the successful completion of a Fundraise of approximately A$182.7 million (£99.2 million), subject to shareholder approval.

Under the Fundraise, 608,588,957 shares would be issued at a price of A$0.30 (16.3p) per share, which represented a 33% discount to the volume weighted average price for the 20 day period up to and including 11 March 2014 (the day immediately prior to the Company's trading halt on the ASX for the Fundraise).

The Company also advised that it would be undertaking a Share Purchase Plan ("SPP") to raise up to A$2.0 million at the same issue price as the Fundraise.

The proceeds of the Fundraise and the SPP will allow the Company to complete construction of the Hemerdon Project and support it through to positive cashflows.

Specifically, the funds raised will be used by the Company to;

· Repay the outstanding balance of the US$75 million Bridge Finance Facility provided by Resource Capital Fund V L.P. ("RCF");

· Provide the capital expenditure required by the Hemerdon Project to complete construction and make the project production ready;

· Provide funds to service bonding obligations, over-run facilities, debt service reserve account and producer shortfall guarantees; and

· Provide ongoing working capital.

The Fundraise comprises a placing and subscriptions, including subscriptions by Wolf's major shareholders, RCF and TTI (NZ) Limited ("TTI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Todd Corporation Limited ("Todd").

Numis Securities Limited, Patersons Securities Limited and Investec Bank plc acted as joint Lead Managers to the Fundraise, with Azure Capital acting as corporate advisor to Wolf.

Commenting on the Fundraise Wolf managing director Russell Clark said:

"We are delighted with the success of the Fundraise and thank all participants for their support. The funds raised will be primarily utilised to complete construction of our world class Hemerdon Project which, on completion, will be the first new metal mine in the UK in 45 years providing approximately 200 direct new jobs and establishing a new industry in the southwest of the UK."

Completion of the Fundraise is conditional upon shareholder approval at an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM"), to be held on 13 May 2014.

Share Purchase Plan to raise up to A$2 million launched

Subsequent to the end of the quarter (ASX announcement, 9 April 2014), the Company launched an SPP offer to eligible shareholders, to raise up to A$2 million.

Under the SPP eligible shareholders are entitled to purchase up to A$15,000 worth of new shares at A$0.30 per share, free of brokerage and commission. This is the same price as the price of shares under the Fundraise.

Funds raised under the SPP will be used in conjunction with the Fundraise to complete construction of the Hemerdon Project and support the project through to positive cashflows.

The SPP Offer opened on 14 April 2014 and is scheduled to close on 2 May 2014.

Participation in the SPP is optional and is available to shareholders of fully paid ordinary shares in Wolf as at the Record Date, 5.00pm (WST) 17 March 2014, with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.

Shareholder approval for the issue of shares under the SPP will be sought at the EGM to be held on 13 May 2014.

The full details of the SPP offer have been sent to eligible shareholders.

EPC contractor commenced construction of the Hemerdon Project

In February (ASX announcement, 11 February 2014) Wolf reported that construction of the Hemerdon Project had commenced, with EPC contractor, GR Engineering Services Limited (ASX: GNG) ("GRES"), being authorised to commence the construction phase of the £75 million EPC contract.

This represented another key milestone in the development of the Hemerdon Project, and set the project on a definitive timeline for construction, commissioning and first production, which is scheduled for 2015.

GRES was awarded the fixed price, fixed term EPC contract for the design, construction and commissioning of the 3 million tonnes per annum tungsten and tin mineral processing plant at Hemerdon, including associated infrastructure, in June 2013 (ASX announcement, 12 June 2013). GRES are contracted to complete the construction and commissioning in Q3, 2015.

Prior to being authorised to commence construction, GRES had conducted detailed design of the plant and facilities, and had procured key pieces of equipment.

The commencement of construction followed the finalisation of the purchase of requisite residential properties around the project site (required by the project's planning permission), the issue of the environmental permit required for the mining waste facility, and the signing of a 40 year lease with the project's landowners.

Ground-breaking ceremony to mark commencement of Hemerdon Project

In March (ASX announcement, 17 March 2014) the Company hosted an official ground-breaking ceremony at the Hemerdon Project site to mark the commencement of construction at the project.

The Hemerdon Project will be the first new metal mine in the UK for 45 years, and the ground-breaking event marked a significant milestone for the Company and the project.

The ceremony was carried out by representatives of the two planning authorities, John Hart, Leader of Devon County Council and Tudor Evans, Leader of Plymouth City Council; Gary Streeter, MP for South and West Devon; Anthony Cobbold, Chairman of the Hemerdon Mine Association; and Jeff Harrison, Operations Manager for Wolf.

Over 60 local stakeholders attended the event emphasising the local community support for the Hemerdon Project which will generate approximately 200 direct new jobs and provide a significant economic stimulus into the Plymouth, Devon and UK economies.

Company awarded Mine Project Finance European Deal of the Year for Hemerdon Project

During the quarter the Company was awarded the prestigious European Mining and Metals 2013 Mine Project Finance Deal of the Year for its funding package for the Hemerdon Project.

At the time of the award, Wolf had put in place a funding package totalling approximately A$222.6 million for the development and construction of the Hemerdon Project, comprising £75 million in Senior Project Finance Facilities from ING, Unicredit and CAT Financial, plus a US$75 million Bridge Finance Facility from RCF.

The award recognises outstanding achievement and best practice in the financing of infrastructure projects each year, and is sponsored by Project Finance Magazine.

Wolf's nomination and success in winning the award was significant recognition for the Company and its successful fund raising endeavours.

· Holding an EGM on 13 May 2014 to approve the Fundraise.
