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

                       Appointment of Mining Sense Consultancy

FCR, the European lead-zinc explorer, today announces that it has engaged the services of Mining
Sense Consulting (“Mining Sense”) (www.miningsenseconsulting.com), a Spanish consultancy
company to the mining industry, to complement the existing operational team focused on the Toral
lead, zinc and silver project, located in the Province of Leon, Spain (the “Toral Project”).

Mining Sense’s Technical Director, Jesús Montero, will lead the consultancy team dedicated to the
Toral Project. Working alongside the Company’s existing in-country management, under the
direction of Myles Campion, Group Technical Director, Mining Sense will assist with:

   •   Preperation of exploration drilling sites and contracting drilling operators;
   •   Undertaking first desktop study on local area and industrial operations; and
   •   Agreeing Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) parameters and schedule for
       completion

The Mining Sense team will be embedded within the operations team at the Toral Project and will
work with the Company to pursue its stated objectives of:

   •   Providing a preliminary economical assessment and conceptual mine plan for the Toral
       Project
   •   Drilling the eastern extension to identify further resources
   •   Assess development pathways for potentially bringing the Toral Project into production

Whilst Mining Sense has already begun work for the Company in respect of the Toral Project,
agreement on contractual payment terms for the work to the scope set out above is subject to the
Company receiving approval for the issue of new ordinary shares in the Company to raise up to
£1,000,000 (gross) pursuant to the conditional fundraising announced on 21 March 2018, at the
Company’s forthcoming general meeting on 21 May 2018.

Jesús Montero is a mining engineer, specialising in mine planning and design, with over 15 years
industry experience working on exploration to production projects. Mr Montero has been involved
in the design and development of two flagship mining projects in Spain; Berkeley Energia’s
Uranium project in Salamanca and the Cobre Las Cruces Copper Mine near Seville.
Over the last five years, Mr Montero has driven the mining studies and initial construction of the
Berkeley Energia’s Salamanca project as Mining Manager. Following the publication of a Definitive
Feasibility Study, the project is now being fast tracked into production, with full construction
currently underway.

Myles Campion, Group Technical Director, commented today:
“We welcome Mining Sense and Mr Montero to the team we are building at Toral. Jesús brings
with him the technical capabilities of Mining Sense as a group, and also significant first hand
development experience in Spain. This is a great first step on the road to defining and developing
our Pb/Zn deposit at Toral.”
