==> picture [163 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
Certain statements made in connection with this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the mining industry, expectations regarding prices, exploration or development costs and other operating results, growth prospects and the outlook of Image’s operations contain or comprise certain forward looking statements regarding Image’s operations, economic performance and financial condition. Although Image believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct.
Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes that could result from future acquisitions of new tenements, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including industrial accidents, environmental hazards or geologically related conditions), changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, risks inherent in the ownership, exploration and operation of or investment in mining properties, fluctuations in prices and exchange rates and business and operations risks management, as well as generally those additional factors set forth in our periodic filings with ASX. Image undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

==> picture [163 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [163 x 5] intentionally omitted <==
Seeking to extend mine life beyond 10 years – 60km prospective target zone
Boonanarring North
- Targeting potential 5.2km extension; drilling1.3km north of the deposit includes14m @ 18% HM & 8m @ 22% HM; 50 drill holes planned (subject to access).
Boonanarring to Gingin North
- Potential for 13km within 3 separate strands parallel and south of the Boonanarring deposit.
Gingin
- Targeting a further 1.3-1.5mt HM @ 5-6% HM; 7km strand; previous drilling includes 6m @ 10% HM from 27m; 13 additional drill holes planned to follow up results along 7km strand.
Red Gully
- Infill drilling proposed to increase grades and upgrade resource category in the southern half of deposit. Zircon grades elevated at 12-15%. The deposit is shallow starting at 15 meters.
Note: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Bidaminna Park (E70/3298), Bidaminna North (E70/2844), Mimegarra (E70/4779)
-
Potential high volume dredge mining target; mineralisation 15-35 metres thick and located below water table; low slimes (34%); strip ratio <1 and coarse grain size (105 microns);
-
Atypically high leucoxene grades ranging 27-65% of THM ; increasing to the north;
-
higher in-situ value per tonne or ore compared to typical ilmeniterich assemblage;
-
Historic Mineral Resources 5.5km in length; 44Mt at 3% THM
-
Exploration Target to the north could add another 100-110Mt at 3-4% THM; potential to contain 3-4Mt of HM;
-
A further 14km of potential mineralisation estent to the north identified by preliminary magnetic surveys.
-
Detailed ground magnetics surveys currently underway to determine further extents of mineralisation in advance of likely follow-on drilling programme.
Note: The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Targets are conceptual in nature, there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.

Potential near term royalty cash flows from Mullering
Royalty deal and extension potential
-
A$50,000 cash payment has been received;
-
Sliding-scale royalty:
-
at 2.5% average grade the royalty will be 1.25%
-
at 3.0% average grade the royalty will be 2.50%
-
at 3.5% average grade the royalty will be 3.75%
-
at 4.0% average grade the royalty will be 5.00%
Arrangement is first of possible future deals with Tronox or others based on extensive dredge potential zone within Image’s tenements in the vicinity of Tronox’s dredge operations.
