26 September 2017

                          Ferrum Crescent Limited
               (“FCR”, the “Company” or the “Group”)(ASX, AIM, JSE: FCR)

                                Directorate Changes

FCR, the lead-zinc exploration company, announces that Mr Justin Tooth, Executive
Chairman, has resigned from the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) with
immediate effect, in order to pursue his other business interests.

Mr Grant Button, currently a non-executive director of the Company and the company
secretary, residing in Australia, will assume the role of non-executive Chairman, also
with immediate effect. Mr Laurence Read, previously a non-executive director, residing
in the United Kingdom, will become an executive director and work alongside the
Board, with the Company’s geological team and consultants. Mr Evan Kirby, a non-
executive director of the Company, residing in Australia, will remain in his current role
and provides an important resource for the Company, as a highly experienced project
development manager.

As part of the new Board’s commitment to reduce costs, no changes in salary or
remuneration will be made regarding the new Board composition at this time.
Additionally, the Company does not currently intend to employ a new full-time CEO
with associated remuneration package. Instead, FCR will look to maximize its
exploration expenditure on the Toral, lead-zinc, project.

The Board would like to thank Justin Tooth for his important input during a key
transition period for the Company, as it has effected the divestment of the Moonlight
iron ore assets, located in South Africa, and completed the acquisition of its Spanish
lead-zinc operations.

FCR looks forward to announcing an update on strategic pathways for the Toral lead-
zinc project in Spain, following work currently being undertaken by a new external,
JORC complaint, independent geological group overseen by the Company’s technical
consultant, Mr Myles Campion and the Board.

Commenting today, Mr Grant Button, FCR’s Chairman, said:
“I would like to thank Justin for all of his hard work over the past 18 months and he
leaves with the Company now an active lead zinc explorer. FCR has reached a key
phase in its exploration and evaluation activities on the Toral lead-zinc asset, and the
focus is now to efficiently enhance the value of the project, through meaningful
exploration, whilst reducing administrative costs. With this in mind I look forward to
updating the market shortly with a number of initiatives on the Toral project once our
consultants have completed their review work.”
