Notes to Editors:

Further Information on GoldQuest and the Iberian Exploration Projects
GoldQuest is a private company incorporated in Spain which owns 100 per cent. of both the Toral
Project and the Lago Project in northern Spain, each having high prospectivity for lead and zinc.

Principal Terms of Ferrum Crescent’s Option

-    Option to potentially acquire 100 per cent. of GoldQuest. GoldQuest owns 100 per cent. of two
     lead-zinc exploration projects in the provinces of León and Galicia, in historic Spanish mining
     areas.
-    Exclusive option is valid until 30 September 2016. If exercised, Ferrum Crescent, will be required
     to:
     o    pay up to approximately £320,000 in cash consideration (calculated as a fixed amount of
          £250,000 plus a further cash payment comprising the lesser of 50 per cent. of GoldQuest’s
          current liabilities and £92,500, minus the option consideration); and
     o    issue, credited as fully paid, 100 million new ordinary shares in the capital of Ferrum
          Crescent.

Toral Project

The Toral Project has been extensively explored historically by its previous owners Portex Minerals Inc.
and Lundin Mining S.L. and the 2,024ha of mineral rights contains extensive high grade zinc
mineralisation. Located in north-west Spain, approximately 400km north-west of Madrid, the project’s
licence area hosts excellent road, rail and power infrastructure and is situated in a known historic mining
jurisdiction. The asset also has a pre-existing NI 43-101 resource estimate reported by Micon International
Co. Limited on 30 April 2012.

Lago Project

The Lago Project is located approximately 54km to the north-east of the Toral Project. Historical
investigations completed by or on behalf of the Spanish mining firm, Exploracion Minera International
Espana S.A. (“EXMINESA”), between 1985 and 1990, indicated that mineralisation at the Lago Project
may be similar to that encountered at the Toral Project with vertical, lenticular bodies (probably more
than one) approximately 800m long by 300m wide.
