Commenting on the half-year interim results, Justin Tooth, Executive Chairman of Ferrum Crescent said: "This period has seen the Company take an exciting stride forward down the route originally outlined in our strategic update of March 2016 via the acquisition of Goldquest Iberica and its wholly-owned lead-zinc project of Toral in northern Spain. We have swiftly brought a strong international team into action, led by Merlin Marr-Johnson as Project Manager. We were pleased to announce in February the first set of results from the mapping, geochemistry and channel sampling which has confirmed a continuous two kilometre zinc-in-soil anomaly and identified multiple near-surface targets. This has been a great step forward towards our first drill programme, recently announced, fuller details of which will follow shortly. At either end of this half-year, we made two modest placements of new equity in order to fund our activities and we also benefited from the influx of fresh capital thanks to several exercises by options holders to acquire new stock. We continued to work throughout the period on developing the strategic relationships and the optimal pathway for the Moonlight Iron Ore Project in South Africa and we expect to bring a satisfactory conclusion to that activity in due course. We are at present suitably funded for our immediate plans and we remain particularly committed to full transparency with our shareholders and throughout the markets where we are listed.

Review and results of operations

Operating Results

During the half-year 1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016, the Group recorded a net loss after tax of AUD 688,661 (1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015: net loss of AUD 727,485).

Principal activities during the half-year

The principal work streams for the Company during the period were as follows:

1. Determine viable progression routes for the Moonlight assets either through existing structures or

new pathways;

               2.   Group-wide review of operations and costs; and 
               3.   Diversify asset portfolio to secure prospective assets, outside of bulk materials, in low risk 

geographies

During the six month period covered by this report the Board gave BVI Business Venture Investments No. 1709 (Proprietary) Limited ("BVI") every opportunity to fulfill their commitments under an existing development agreement first announced by the Company on 14 October 2015, entitling the group to earn up to a 43 per cent. equity interest in Ferrum Iron Ore (Pty) Limited ("FIO") through the completion and funding of the Bankable Feasibility Study ("BFS"), which was to be conducted in two phases. The agreement was subsequently extended in January 2016.

The Company also assessed new options for development including certain specific laboratory tests relating to beneficiation.

Subsequent to the period, in early 2017, the BVI agreement was terminated. Further costs reduction initiatives at Moonlight have been advanced and the Company is actively reviewing routes forward for progressing Moonlight.

Due diligence continued over two lead-zinc projects located in Northwest Spain that had been previously subject to exploration by drilling and analysis. Following two extensions made at the Company's request, to allow the seller to meet the conditions of the deal, the option was exercised on 22(nd) September 2016. The new Ferrum Crescent exploration team, operating out of the UK and Spain, designed and implemented a work programme for the Toral Project. The geological goal is to establish the presence and parameters of mineralisation at surface and then to define the most prospective areas of the structure for the planning of a targeted Phase 1 drill campaign. To this end, soil geochemistry sampling, rock chip sampling, and channel sampling was carried out in conjunction with detailed mapping.

Post-period work was completed at the Toral asset in Spain comprising 575 soil samples, 108 rock chip samples and 23 channel samples in addition to desktop re-analysis of historic data. Using a GIS (geographic information system), Ferrum Crescent has compiled all the various data streams into a three-dimensional model. The proposed 2017 drilling campaign has been based on an increased understanding of the Toral Project and identification of new target zones. Following receipt and interpretation of the positive mapping and sampling results, Ferrum Crescent has drawn up a drill plan comprising thirteen holes off twelve drill platforms, totalling from 1,600 metres to 1,800 metres of diamond drilling. The primary drill targets are zones of co-incident anomalies combining soil geochemistry, rock alteration, visible mineralisation at surface or underground, and structurally favourable zones. Exploration drilling is set to commence in Q2 2017. Drillholes have been designed to intersect multiple zones of mineralisation at depths from 50 metres to 200 metres below surface. In order to facilitate access, all drill platforms are located on existing tracks and roads.

South Africa

Moonlight Iron Ore Project

Ferrum's principal project is the Moonlight Iron Ore Project located in Limpopo Province in the north of South Africa. The Moonlight Deposit (upon which the Moonlight Project is based) is a magnetite deposit located on the Moonlight, Gouda Fontein and Julietta farms and is the main operational focus for the Company. Iscor Limited ("Iscor"), which explored the Moonlight Project in the 1980s and '90s, reported mineralisation capable of producing a concentrate grading at 68.7% iron. At that time, Iscor concluded that the deposit, which was described as being comparable to the world's best, was easily mineable due to its low waste-to-ore ratio. The beneficiation attributes of Moonlight ore are extremely impressive, with low-intensity magnetic separation considered suitable for optimum concentration.

The Mineral Resource estimate is provided in the table below and the Mineral Resource estimation criteria, as required in JORC (2012) and in Section 5.8.2 of the ASX Listing Rules, are available on the ASX Website.

With a cut off grade of 16% Fe, geological losses of 5% and a depth constraint of between 100m and 250m from surface, (depending upon dip and the number of zones present), The Mineral Corporation has determined that there are reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction, and hence estimate the Mineral Resource as follows:

Spain

On 30 September 2016 the Company completed the purchase of 100% of the shares of GoldQuest Iberica, S.L. ("GoldQuest"), owning 100% of the Toral and Lago lead-zinc exploration projects located respectively in the provinces of León and Galicia in Spain.

Toral Project

The wholly owned Toral zinc-lead-silver permit is located near Ponferrada in the west of the province of León, Autonomous Community of Castile and León, Spain approximately 400km northwest of Madrid.

Location of Toral Zinc-Lead-Silver Permit Area

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. 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 (the "NI 43-101 Report"). The NI 43-101 Report estimated that the project has a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred and Indicated foreign resource estimate of 8.71Mt at an economic cut-off grade of 7% Pb + Zn (as set out in the Company's announcement of 10 November 2016).

The work undertaken by the Company has concentrated on the prospective area located vertically above the deep Toral Deposit within the same licence, which is the subject of a foreign estimate for the purpose of the ASX Listing Rules, comprising an NI 43-101 compliant Indicated foreign mineral resource estimate of 4.04 Mt at 11.8 Pb + Zn (%) and Inferred foreign mineral resource estimate of 4.67 Mt at 9.8 Pb+ Zn (%) (details of which are set out in the Company's announcement of 10 November 2016).

Recent work, concluded post-period, has been carried out over areas of zinc-in-soil anomalism along 2 kilometres of strike extension at the Toral Project, with an average width of around 150 metres. A topographic survey, completed with a high specification GPS, enabled accurate positioning of old workings (adits), identifying sub-parallel zones of mineralisation. Underground channel sampling has identified high grade mineralisation close to surface.

Historic Work

Between 1975 and 1985, the Adaro/Peñarroya joint venture carried out exploration on the four separate licences which now correspond, approximately, to the Toral permit area. Over a period of nine years, a topographical survey, geological mapping, a hydrogeological study and more than 40,000m of diamond drilling (62 holes and 41 wedges) were carried out.

Lundin Mining S.L. (Lundin) acquired the Toral investigation permit no. 15.199 in 2007 and commenced exploration in April 2007. Lundin compiled the information collected by the previous licence holders. In addition, samples of drill core were sent to ALS Chemex in Canada in order to validate the reliability of the existing assays and exploration information was digitised. The results of Lundin's preliminary work confirmed the mineral potential of the Toral area. However, it was apparent that the continuity and the thickness of the mineralisation were insufficiently detailed. In 2007 to 2009, seven diamond holes for a total of 4,523.7m were drilled for the purpose of confirming the continuity of the mineralisation in the San Jose area of the Toral permit and also to test the possibility of an extension of the mineralisation in depth.

GoldQuest acquired Lundin, including the Toral permit, in January 2010. During 2011 and 2012, GoldQuest conducted systematic geological mapping and soil sampling.

The Board believes that the observations and results of work programme carried out by Ferrum Crescent from October 2016 to January 2017, suggest the following:

   --    Measurable and anomalous mineralisation extends for at least two kilometres at the Toral 

Project

   --    More than one mineralising horizon has been identified 
   --    More than one mineralising style has been identified 
   --    There is a structural control on the emplacement, thickness and paragenesis of the 

mineralisation

   --    Transverse and cross-cutting faults may act as controlling factors on mineralising fluids 

Following receipt and interpretation of the positive mapping and sampling results, Ferrum Crescent has drawn up a drill plan comprising thirteen holes off twelve drill platforms, totalling from 1,600 metres to 1,800 metres of diamond drilling. The primary drill targets are zones of co-incident anomalies combining soil geochemistry, rock alteration, visible mineralisation at surface or underground, and structurally favourable zones.

Using a GIS (geographic information system), Ferrum Crescent has compiled all the various data streams into a three dimensional model. The proposed 2017 drilling campaign has been based on the new understanding of the Toral Project and identification of new target zones.. Drillholes are designed to intersect multiple zones of mineralisation at depths from 50 metres to 200 metres below surface. In order to facilitate access, all drill platforms are located on existing tracks and roads.

Lago Project

The Lago Project is located approximately 54km to the north-east of the Toral Project in the province of Galicia. 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.

Corporate

Subsequent to the Company entering into an exclusive option to acquire 100 percent of GoldQuest, two nil-cost extensions were granted to Ferrum Crescent and on 22 September 2016 the option was exercised. Accordingly, the Company has acquired 100 per cent. of the share capital of GoldQuest. GoldQuest owns 100 per cent. of two lead-zinc exploration projects in the provinces of Le n and Galicia, in historic Spanish mining areas.
