REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

PROJECTS SUMMARY

Image Resources is a diversified explorer that has applied a strategy of identifying and acquiring areas prospective for gold, mineral sands, nickel and uranium using aeromagnetic data and seeking to add value for shareholders by applying innovative exploration techniques to early stage exploration and by partnering with well funded mid-cap companies.

Following its exploration successes in the North Perth Basin, Image has placed an increasing focus on its core mineral sands projects in order to define mineral resources and advance the projects through the prefeasibility stage.

During the year Image farmed out a large package of 64 exploration licences to Magnetic Resources NL and assisted this company to list on the ASX. The tenements are prospective for gold, nickel and uranium covering some 6,700sq km in the Ravensthorpe-Southern Cross region of Western Australia. A package of ten exploration licences prospective for nickel were farmed out to successful nickel miner Mincor Resources NL in the area south of the Nepean nickel mine. In addition, four exploration licences were farmed out to Meteoric Resources NL at Scorpion Well, Top Well and Mt Remarkable.

Ongoing joint ventures include Emu Lake (nickel, Jubilee Mines 66 ⅔ %); Jilbadgie (nickel, Westonia Mines earning 65%); Woodline (gold and base metals, Sipa Resources and Newmont earning 70%) and Meteoric (gold and base metals, Meteoric Resources 100%, Image returning a 1% gross royalty) – see Figure 1 for location map.

As part of its divestment process to focus on its core mineral sand projects, Image is proposing to farm out a package of nickel properties totalling 2,500sq km in the Kalgoorlie-Leonora-Southern Cross area to Emu Nickel NL and to assist this company to list on ASX. The package includes the Emu Lake project (Image 33 ⅓ %) where high-grade nickel sulphides have been intersected and the Kambalda West JV with Mincor Resources (subject to final documentation of agreements with Mincor and Emu Nickel).

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

NORTH PERTH BASIN MINERAL SANDS

Encouraged by its exploration success in the North Perth Basin Image has increased its landholdings to 1,954 sq km and is now the largest landholder in this world-class mineral sands province – see Figure 2 and Figure 3. The North Perth Basin has been the world’s largest source of high TiO2 (58%-63%) chloride-grade ilmenite, the largest source of zircon and a major source of rutile.

Heavy mineral sands orebodies are most often elongate sand bodies that formed on beaches at times when the sea level was higher than today. They contain minerals that are about twice as heavy as normal sand, hence the name. One of these, ilmenite, is slightly magnetic and Image has developed a magnetic surveying and interpretation technique that allows it to explore for heavy minerals more effectively and cheaply than other explorers. The strength, shape and areal extent of a magnetic response contribute to how seriously Image treats a target, but Image normally summarises targets in terms of their length in km. The following table summarises, for each project in the North Perth Basin, the tenement area, the level of magnetometer surveying completed, the total length of magnetic targets generated, the length of targets drilled, the length of mineralised targets (comparison of these two gives an indication of Image’s success rate) and the amount remaining to be drilled. Resource estimates for the mineralised targets are being prepared.

Composite samples from the main mineralised strands and channels at Cooljarloo are currently being examined to determine mineral assemblage and product quality characteristics. The scope of this work will extend as further drill samples are processed and the residue become available for compositing. Concentrates from 27 composite samples have been generated by Wilfley tabling and will be further processed by heavy liquid separation, high intensity magnetic separation, electrostatic separation and by XRF analysis of the resulting fractions. The results of this test work will better define the markets for which these products are suited and provide firmer estimates of product pricing.

Drilling of the 35 AHD strands in vacant crown land will commence in November 2007 and close the line spacing down to 200 m from 600 m, allowing an indicated resource to be estimated. Over private land the drill line spacing will be reduced to 100 m, allowing a measured resource to be estimated.

Some 60 km of magnetic targets remain to be drill tested at Cooljarloo following completion of landowner access agreements and environmental permitting. Included in the 60 km is 30 km of “channel style” mineralisation, so named because it is thought to have formed in river channels instead of on beaches. The evidence for this is that in the 9 km of channel targets tested thus far, the mineralisation is thick (up to 74 metres), and steep sided. This type of mineralisation has the potential to host huge ore tonnages and is conducive to cheap dredging. Image is confident in its ability to recognise the different magnetic character of this type of mineralisation. Image is optimistic that this style of mineralisation will enable a very large scale dredging operation on the back of the smaller, but high grade mineralisation discovered to date that would be mined by conventional means.

Figure 4: Image Resources Cooljarloo Resource and Targets

COOLJARLOO NORTH (IMAGE 100%)

This project contains 5 target areas with several magnetic anomalies within them. Image made a significant heavy mineral discovery in the first of these, target 1, which has been the subject of several ASX releases throughout 2007. The high-grade core of this strand averages 40-80m in width, 4-8m in thickness and from depths of 2-6m.

Drilling of this prospect has been completed to 100 m line and 20 m hole spacing, which will enable a measured resource to be estimated once assaying is complete.

200m line spaced drilling over Target 2 has demonstrated at least four continuous strands at consistent elevations and coincident with magnetic targets, two of which extend individually over a 4.5km length within the northeast part of E70/2892. These have the potential to significantly enhance the economics of the Cooljarloo North project. Indicated resources will be estimated for these projects when assays are finalised.

Image has also completed preliminary drilling at Targets 3 and 5 at Cooljarloo North with significant results including drillhole CN195 with 2m at 17.8% HM from 6 m in target 5. Ground magnetics over these targets suggests the length of these targets is greater than 4 km and will be assessed in the next drilling campaign.

CATABY WEST (IMAGE 100%)

Image has applied for a 35.6 sq km exploration licence about 20km SE of Tiwest’s Cooljarloo mine covering aeromagnetic targets along strike from the mine and interpreted to have potential for HM strandlines. Ground magnetic is 80% complete and aircore drilling will be carried out upon grant of the tenement and completion of land access agreements.

BIDAMINNA (IMAGE 100%)

Environmental permitting for the 1.5km strike extension south of Image’s previously reported drilling on the Callisto heavy mineral strand is in progress and is expected to be granted in the next month, opening the way for further drilling. Callisto is situated about 15km NW of Gingin and forms part of Image’s large,

  • 11 -

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

100%-owned landholding in the Bidaminna area covering known heavy mineral resources outlined by historical drilling.

Previously reported scout drilling by Image identified a broad zone of mineralisation more than 500m in width at Callisto with a best intersection of 12m at 5.4% HM from 34m. Modal analysis of a composite sample from this broad zone indicates a high total valuable heavy mineral content of 93% composed of 84% ilmenite, 0.4% rutile, 2.3% leucoxene and 6% zircon.

BOOTINE (IMAGE 100%)

Image has added the 190sq km Bootine tenement (E70/3192) northwest of the operating Gingin mine to its extensive North Perth Basin land package (see Figure 3). The tenement effectively links the Gingin project with the Bidaminna project and covers the whole spectrum of mineralised strands from 0m RL to 130m RL.

Over 30 new targets, totalling more than 87km in length, have been identified from a recently flown aeromagnetic survey within E70/3192. Surprisingly, very little drilling has been carried out on the tenement which is prospective for both strandline mineralisation and the newly discovered channel-style mineralisation.

Image views this as an excellent opportunity to apply its magnetic mapping technique in an attempt to validate the existing aeromagnetic targets and to identify other targets that have not been discriminated by the airborne survey. Ground magnetic surveying at Bootine is in progress with 120 line km of surveying completed so far. It is important to note that the heavy mineral strand being mined at the Gingin mine is evident on an older aeromagnetic survey and points to the prospectivity of the Bootine tenements situated only 5km to the northwest.

GINGIN – M[C] KINLEY (IMAGE 100%)

These tenements cover the prospective Gingin Scarp south of Iluka Resources’ Gingin Minesite. Ground mag surveys have commenced and drilling will commence when land access agreements have been finalised. Twelve km of magnetic targets have already been identified at McKinley.

COWALLA – QUINNS HILL – WANNAMAL (IMAGE 100%)

These exploration licences cover paleo shoreline targets in Mesozoic sediments east of the Gingin scarp and have the potential to host channel style mineralisation similar to that discovered at Cooljarloo. Image has commenced reconnaissance ground magnetic surveys on the Cowalla and Quinns Hill tenements. Cowalla contains a prominent interpreted shoreline feature more than 40km in length with potential for concentration of heavy minerals.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

EUCLA BASIN MINERAL SANDS

Within the Eucla Basin, Image directly holds 8 tenement applications in WA covering 1,496 km2, a735 sq km tenement application in SA and is earning 70% in the Barton joint venture with Mithril Resources over another 993 km2. The Eucla Basin is the world’s most exciting zircon exploration province. It stretches from the eastern goldfields of WA to the Eyre Peninsular in SA, and contains a series of ancient coastlines each over 1,500 km in length. In the past few years, 5 discoveries of zircon rich heavy mineral placers have been made on stranded shorelines within the basin, the most recent of which is Diatreme Resources Ltd’s Cyclone discovery which is immediately adjacent to Image’s Serpentine Lakes tenements.

Image is most encouraged by the discovery of zircon-rich mineral sands next to its Eucla Basin tenements and views this as a further opportunity to expand its heavy mineral interests.

These tenement applications lay adjacent to Diatreme’s Cyclone discovery. The discovery lies on the Barton paleocoastline of the Eucla Basin, the most landward of the ancient shorelines. This paleocoastline is interpreted to pass through the Image tenements for a distance of at least 28km, as shown on Figure 6. The proximity of this discovery, its local thickening to 2.3km and its correlation with the same paleocoastline over such large distances is felt to be significant, and it is highly probable that the 2.3km width of strand mineralisation intersected by Diatreme passes directly into the Image ground. This prospective paleoshoreline corridor ranges up to more than 9km in width within the Image tenements and contains several favourable geomorphological features conducive to heavy mineral deposition.

SERPENTINE LAKES (IMAGE 100%)

Image is already making plans for access with the local landholders and interpreting aeromagnetic data prior to carrying out extensive ground magnetic mapping surveys. Image’s adjacent Serpentine Lake tenements total 466km² in size and are interpreted to contain multiple parallel paleocoastlines which will provide exploration targets.

WANNA SOUTH (IMAGE 100%)

Following Diatreme’s announcement, Image applied for a new tenement E69/243, Wanna South, which is 288km² in area and parallels the NW-trending coastline held by Diatreme.

FORREST LAKES (IMAGE 100%)

Image holds tenements at Forrest Lakes totalling 740km² covering the Oldea Range paleocoastline which passes through Iluka’s Jacinth and Ambrosia heavy mineral discoveries.

BARTON (IMAGE EARNING 70%)

Image is farming in to Mithril Resources' Barton project situated 50km northeast of Iluka's recent zircon-rich mineral sand discoveries at Jacinth and Ambrosia in the Eucla Basin of South Australia. Image may earn up to a 70% interest in the mineral sand rights by expenditure of $500,000 within five years. The joint venture will commence upon finalising heritage and land access agreements with the traditional owners.

The 992sq km joint venture tenement covers part of the Barton Range Shoreline, an older but similar paleo coastal barrier to that which hosts the Jacinth and Ambrosia discoveries. Wide-spaced government drilling within the tenement has identified heavy mineral concentrations comprising 56% altered ilmenite, 17% zircon, 15% leucoxene and 3% rutile at a depth of 16-22m, demonstrating the presence of potentially economic mineral sands. Image plans to use its magnetic mapping technique to identify drill targets.

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

EMU LAKE (IMAGE 33⅓ %)

Situated 30km east of the high-grade Silver Swan nickel mine, the Emu Lake project has a demonstrated potential for high-grade nickel mineralisation where drilling at the Gossan Zone has identified nickel sulphide mineralisation over a 400m strike length on an ultramafic contact. To date, ten high-grade drill intersections have been made at grades between 3%-10% Ni with best intersections of 2m at 6.2% Ni, 1.8% Cu and 2.2g/t PGE from 336.0m and 2m at 2.0% Ni, 1.0% Cu and 4.2g/t PGE from 343.5m.

Under the terms of a revised joint venture with Sir Samuel Mines NL, a wholly owned subsidiary of nickel miner Jubilee Mines NL, the joint venturers have acquired the interest of minority party Skyrne Hill Pty Ltd increasing Image Resources interest to 33⅓% with Sir Samuel Mines earning the remaining interest by sole expenditure of $3.25

million within three years at a minimum spending rate of $1 million per annum. Upon Sir Samuel Mines confirming its interest, Image Resources will contribute its share to the joint venture. In the event that Sir Samuel Mines does not confirm its interest then that interest will revert to Image Resources. Skyrne Hill Pty Ltd will retain a 1.75% royalty interest in the Emu Lake tenements.

KAMBALDA WEST (IMAGE 100%, DILUTING)

During the year Image reached agreement with Kambalda nickel miner Mincor Resources for a joint venture on ten granted, 100%-owned Image tenements in the Nepean district south of Coolgardie. The 725km ² tenement package was original following interpretation of newly released regional aeromagnetic data and is considered to have potential for nickel sulphide mineralisation.

  • 15 -

REVIEW OF OPERATIONS

Under the terms of the agreement Mincor may earn 51% interest by expenditure of $750,000 within three years and may elect to increase this by a further 19% interest by expenditure of an additional $750,000 within a further two years ie up to 70% for $1.5 million.

Mincor completed a 73-hole, 3010m RAB and aircore drilling programme over an 8km strike length of interpreted ultramafic rocks south of the Nepean nickel mine. The drilling intersected a sequence of amphibolites, ultramafics and metasediments intruded by felsic rocks with best result of 6m at 1.84% Ni from 18m. The stratigraphy is believed to be similar to that at the Nepean mine and importantly, interpreted to contain the footwall contact of the ultramafic. Mincor is planning to carry out airborne EM surveys (VTEM) over several targets on the joint venture tenements when a suitable aircraft becomes available.

WOODLINE (IMAGE 100% DILUTING)

The Woodline project is situated on the Tropicana-Beachcomber structural trend, a current focus of extensive gold exploration activity following the Tropicana gold discovery. Joint venturer Sipa Resources reached agreement with Newmont to earn a majority interest in Sipa’s gold and base metal project, part of which includes two Image tenements. Under the terms of the agreement Newmont may earn a 51% interest in the Image tenements diluting Image and Sipa to 30% and 19% respectively.

Sipa/Newmont have completed 290 line kilometres of helicopter-borne EM surveys (Hoistem) on the Image tenements and several anomalies have been identified for follow up. In addition, several gold-in-calcrete geochemical anomalies have been identified for follow up.

METEORIC 2 JV (IMAGE 100%, DILUTING)

Image concluded a second agreement with Meteoric Resources for a joint venture on three gold projects at Scorpion Well, Top Well and Mt Remarkable in the Eastern Goldfields of WA. Image has carried out preliminary exploration at Scorpion Well, 10km southeast of the +2Moz Centenary gold mines and confirmed the presence of host rocks favourable for Centenary-style gold mineralisation within a structural corridor passing through the Darlot and Centenary mines.

At Top Well, 85km west of Leonora, and at Mt Remarkable, 80km southwest of Laverton, Image has interpreted aeromagnetic and gravity data to identify potential greenstone sequences below cover and considered to be prospective for gold.

Under the terms of the joint venture Meteoric may earn a 30% interest in 244sq km of granted tenements by expenditure of $300,000 within two years. Meteoric may then elect to earn a further 21% interest by expenditure of $200,000 within an additional two years. Meteoric may make a further election to earn an additional 19% interest by expenditure of another $200,000 within a further two years i.e. up to a 70% interest by expenditure of $700,000 within six years.

MT HAYS (IMAGE 90%)

A 10-hole, 300m shallow open hole percussion drilling programme was completed at the Mt Hays gold project situated 65km ENE of Nullagine, WA and along-trend from Wedgetail Mining’s 860,000oz Nullagine Gold Project. The drilling tested the extent of shallow mineralisation up dip or adjacent to previous drilling where previously reported gold intercepts include: 2m at 52.1g/t from 92m in MHRC-03; 1m at 8.1g/t from 34m in MHDRB-02 and 2m at 4.0g/t from 33m in MHDRB-06A (ASX Release 5 August 2005).

The recent percussion drilling tested a central 200m-long section within a 650m-long zone of quartz veining and stockworks containing anomalous gold values. Results of the drilling are shown in Table 2, with best gold intercepts of 8m at 4.5g/t from 4m and 4m at 3.0g/t from 8m. Further drilling to follow up these encouraging results is being planned.

EMU NICKEL JV

Image is proposing to seek shareholders approval to farm out a package of its nickel projects to a subsidiary with a view to distributing shares in the subsidiary to Image shareholders prior to application for listing as ASX. It is anticipated that the proposed farm out will add value for Image shareholders and allow Image to focus on its core mineral sands projects. The proposed farm out package includes Image’s interest in the Emu Lake, Kambalda West, Woongaring, Ward Springs, Lookout Well, Koolyanobbing, Moorine Rocks, Boodarding, Gnamma Hole, Bronzite, Beetle Lake and Dingo Dam projects.

Under the proposed arrangement Emu Nickel will:

  • Reimburse Image 6% of the funds raised as promoters and establishment fees.

  • Be obligated to spend a minimum of $1 million in the first year.

  • Spend a minimum of $2 million within two years of listing on any or all of the projects to earn an 80% interest in the tenements.

  • Have the right to increase its interest to 100% by spending in aggregate $3 million over the next three years and converting Image’s interest to 1% gross royalty (with the exception of Emu Lake).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

General:

The Board of Directors of Image Resources NL is responsible for the corporate governance of the Company. The Board guides and monitors the business and affairs of the Company on behalf of the shareholders by whom they are elected and to whom they are accountable.

The substance of the best practice recommendations of the ASX Corporate Governance Council, including corporate governance practices and suggested disclosures (which in unabridged form may be accessed from the ASX website) as adopted with variations by the Company, are set out herein and have been applied for the entire financial year ended 30 June 2006. Where there has been any variation from the recommendations it is because the Board believes that the Company is not as yet of a size, nor are its financial affairs of such complexity to justify some of those recommendations and as such those practices continue to be the subject of the scrutiny of the full Board.

Board Composition:

The Board is comprised of three Directors, of which the Managing Director and Exploration Director are the Executive Directors.

The skills, experience and expertise relevant to the position of each Director who is in office at the date of the annual report, his attendance at meetings and his term of office are detailed in the Directors’ Report. Due to the size of the Company, it has no independent Director. This situation will be monitored and changes made as the Board sees fit. The names of the Directors of the Company in office at the date of this statement are:

Name Position Committees
Peter Sisley Thomas Non Executive Chairman Refer details
herein
George Sakalidis Managing Director Refer details
herein
Roger Michael Thomson Exploration Director Refer details
herein

When determining whether a Director is independent, the Board has determined that the Director must not be an executive and:

  • is not a substantial shareholder of the Company or an officer of, or otherwise associated directly with, a substantial shareholder of the Company;

  • within the last three last years has not been employed in an executive capacity by the Company been a Director after ceasing to hold any such employment;

  • within the last three years has not been a principal or employee of a professional adviser or a consultant to the Company or an employee associated with the service provided where the quantum of the remuneration in respect thereof are regarded as material to either the company or that person;

  • is not a material supplier or customer of the Company or an officer of or otherwise associated directly or indirectly with a significant supplier or customer;

  • has no material contractual relationship with the Company other than as a Director of the Company;

  • is free from any interest and any business or other relationship which could, or could reasonably be perceived to, materially interfere with the Director’s ability to act in the best interests of the Company.

Directors have the right to seek independent professional advice in the furtherance of their duties as Directors, at the Company’s expense, subject to those expenses being reasonable or incurred with the chairman's approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

  • 29 -

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

The Board and Board Nominations:

The Company does not operate a nomination committee. As such, the full Board (subject to members' voting rights in general meeting) is responsible for selection of new members and has regard to a candidate’s experience and competence.

Under the Company’s Constitution:

  • the maximum number of Directors on the Board is ten;

  • a Director (other than the Managing Director) may not retain office for more than three years without submitting for re-election; and

  • at the Annual General Meeting each year effectively one third of the Directors in office (other than the Managing Director) retire by rotation and must seek re-election by shareholders.

Securities Trading Policy:

The Company has adopted a formal securities trading policy whereby Directors and employees are restricted from acting on material information until it has been released to the market in accordance with the ASX requirements of continuous disclosure and the market has had sufficient time to absorb that information.

Directors’ Remuneration and Policies:

The Company forms a remuneration committee comprising members of the Board and sometime a member of the board and the company secretary who do not have a personal interest in the remuneration and policies being discussed. Due to the number of directors on the Board at this time, any decision is therefore required to be unanimous.

All compensation arrangements for Directors including the Managing Director are determined by disinterested Directors after taking into account the current competitive rates prevailing in the market.

The amount of remuneration for all Directors including the full remuneration packages, comprising all monetary and non-monetary components of the Executive and Non Executive Directors, are detailed in the Directors’ Report.

Executives receive base salary, superannuation and in some cases, fringe benefits and share-based incentives. These packages are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

All remuneration paid to present or future executives is accounted for in accordance with the law.

The Board expects that the remuneration structure that is implemented will result in the Company being able to attract and retain the best executives to manage the Company. It will also provide the executives with the necessary incentives to work to grow long-term shareholder value.

The Board can exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives, bonuses and options.

There are no schemes for retirement benefits other than statutory superannuation for any of the Directors.

External auditors:

The auditors of the Company have open access to the Board of Directors at all times. Somes & Cooke have audited the Company for the last four years. Somes & Cooke attend the Company’s annual general meeting.

  • 30 -

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT

Audit committee:

The Company does not operate an audit committee separate from the Board, however, there is a recognition that a separate committee may be required in the future in order to comply with good Corporate Governance.

Managing risks:

The Board meets regularly to evaluate, control, review and implement the Company’s operations and objectives.

Regular controls established by the Board include:

  • detailed financial reporting;

  • delegation of authority to the Managing Director within the constraints of approved expenditures;

  • implementation of operating plans, cash flows and expected expenditures by management and Board monitoring of progress against approvals; and

  • procedures to allow Directors, and management in the furtherance of their duties, to seek independent professional advice via the utilisation of various external technical consultants.

The Board recognises the need to identify areas of significant business risk and to develop and implement strategies to mitigate these risks.

Commitment to stakeholders & ethical standards:

The Board supports high standards of corporate governance and requires its members and the management and staff of the Company to act with integrity and objectivity in relation to:

  • compliance with laws and regulations affecting the Company’s operations;

  • the ASX’s Corporate Governance;

  • employment practices;

  • responsibilities to:

  • the community;

  • the individual;

  • the environment;

  • conflict of interests;

  • confidentiality;

  • ensuring that shareholders and the financial community are at all times fully informed in accordance with the spirit and letter of the ASX’s continuous disclosure requirements;

  • protection of and proper use of the Company’s assets.

Monitoring of the Board’s Performance and Communication to Shareholders:

In order to ensure that the Board continues to discharge its responsibilities in an appropriate manner, the performance of all Directors is regularly reviewed by the Chairman. The Company does not have an evaluation of the Board or Board members performed by an independent consultant.

The Board of Directors aims to ensure that shareholders are informed of information necessary to assess the performance of the Company. Information is communicated to the shareholders, subject to the exceptions to the requirements for continuous disclosure permitted by law, through:

  • the Quarterly Reports;

  • the Half-Yearly Report;

  • the Annual Report;

  • adherence to continuous disclosure requirements;

  • the Annual General Meeting and other meetings so called to obtain shareholder approval for Board action as appropriate; and

  • the provision of the Company's website containing all of the above mentioned reports and its constant update and maintenance.

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial report is a general purpose financial report that has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, including Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Corporations Act 2001.

The following is a sumary of the material accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial report.

Basis Of Preparation

The accounting policies set out below have been consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

ReportingBasis and Conventions

The financial report has been prepared on an accruals basis and is based on historical costsmodified by the revaluation of selected non-current assets, financial assets and financial liabilities for which the fair value basis of accounting has been applied.

Accounting Policies

(a) Revenue

Interest revenue is recognised on a proportional basis taking into account interest rates applicable to the financial asset. All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(b) Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the company’s liability for employee benefits arising from services rendered by non-casual employees to balance date. Employee benefits that are expected to be settled within one year have been measured at the amounts expected to be paid when the liability is settled. There is no liability to Long Service Leave entitlements.

(c) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

All exploration and evaluation expenditure is expensed to profit and loss as incurred. The effect of this write-off is to increase the loss incurred from ordinary activities as disclosed in the Income Statement and to decrease the carrying values in the Balance Sheet.

(d) Acquisition of Assets

The cost method is used for all acquisitions of assets regardless of whether shares or other assets are acquired. Cost is determined as the fair value of assets given up at the date of acquisition plus costs incidental to the acquisition.

Costs relating to the acquisition of new areas of interest are classified as either exploration and evaluation expenditure or mine properties based on the stage of development reached at the date of acquisition.

  • 36 -

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of GST except where the GST incurred on a purchase of goods and services is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In these circumstances, the GST is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense item as applicable. Rreceivables and payables in the balance sheet are shown inclusive of GST.

The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of receivables or payables in the Balance Sheet.

Cash flows are presented in the cash flow statement on a gross basis, except for the GST component of investing and financing activities, which are disclosed as operating cash flows.

Commitments and contingencies are disclosed net of the amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority.

(f) Income Tax

The charge for current income tax expense is based on the profit for the period adjusted for any nonassessable or disallowed items. It is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or are substantively enacted by the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method in respect of temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred income tax will be recognised from the initial recognition of an asset or liability, excluding a business combination, where there is no effect on accounting or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax is calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realised or liability is settled. Deferred tax is credited in the income statement except where it relates to items that may be credited directly to equity, in which case the deferred tax is adjusted directly against equity.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax profits will be available against which deductible temporary differences can be utilised.

The amount of benefits brought to account or which may be realised in the future is based on the assumption that no adverse change will occur in income taxation legislation and the anticipation that the economic entity will derive sufficient future assessable income to enable the benefit to be realised and comply with the conditions of deductibility imposed by the law.

(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with orginal maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts . Bank overdrafts are shown within short-term borrowings in current liabilities on the balance sheet.

(h) Impairment of Assets

At each reporting date, the company reviews the carrying values of its tangible and intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have been impaired. If such an indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset, being the higher of the asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use, is compared to the asset’s carrying value. Any excess of the asset’s carrying value over its recoverable amount is expensed to the income statement.

  • 37 -

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(i) Earnings Per Share

  • (i) Basic Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share is determined by dividing the loss from ordinary activities after related income tax expense by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial period.

  • (ii) Diluted Earnings Per Share Diluted EPS is calculated as net loss attributable to members, adjusted for:

  • costs of servicing equity (other than dividends);

  • the after tax effect of dividends and interest associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares that have been recognised as expenses; and

  • other discretionary changes in revenues or expenses during the period that would result from the dilution of potential ordinary shares.

(j) Non-current Assets

Each class of plant, equipment and motor vehicles is carried at cost or fair value less, where applicable, any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

Items of plant, equipment and motor vehicles are recorded at cost, being the fair value of consideration provided plus incidental costs. This cost is written off over its expected economic life, adjusted for any salvage value, if applicable. Estimates of remaining useful lives range between 3 and 5 years.

Non-current assets are not carried at an amount greater than their recoverable amount and where carrying values exceed this recoverable amount, assets are written down. In determining recoverable amount the expected net cash flows have not been discounted.

(k) Financial Instruments

Financial Assets: Security deposits are recognised at their fair value. Other receivables are carried at nominal amount due less any provision for doubtful debts. An estimate of doubtful debts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable. Bad debts are written off as incurred. Sundry debtors and other receivables are non-interest bearing and have repayment terms between 30 and 90 days.

Financial Liabilities: Liabilities for trade creditors and other accruals are carried at cost which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for goods and services received, whether or not billed to the Company. Trade creditors are normally settled on 30 day terms.

Available-for-sale Financial Assets: Available-for-sale financial assets include any financial assets not included in the above categories and are initially measured at cost being the fair value of the consideration and including acquisition charges associated with the investment. Unrealised gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the investment are taken directly to equity.

(l) Interests in Joint Venture

Interest in joint venture operations are brought to account by including in the respective classifications, the share of individual assets employed, liabilities and expenses incurred and revenue from the sale of joint venture output. Interest in joint venture operations are brought to account by including assets and liabilities in their respective classifications using the cost method.

  • 38 -

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the Year Ended 30 June 2007

NOTE 1 STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(m) Contributed Equity

Ordinary share capital is recognised at the fair value of the consideration received by the Company. Any transaction costs arising on the issue of ordinary shares are recognised directly in equity as a reduction of the share proceeds received.

(n) Share-based Payments

Share-based compensation benefits provided to directors are approved in general meeting by members. Share-based benefits provided to non-directors are approved by the Board of Directors and form part of that employee’s remuneration package.

No expense is recognised in respect of share options granted prior to 1 January 2005. The shares will be recognised if and when the options are exercised and the proceeds are received and allocated to share capital.

In respect of share options granted after 1 January 2005, the fair value is recognised as an employee benefit expense with a corresponding increase in equity. The fair value of the options is calculated by an independent risk and assurance consultant at the date of grant using calculation principles taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were granted. The model has been adjusted for the effects of non-transferability, exercise restrictions and behavioural considerations. In particular, options granted to employees have been valued using the Hull-White binomial algorithm valuation model. Upon the exercise of options, the balance of the share-based payments reserve relating to those options is transferred to share capital.

(o) Comparative Figures

When required by Accounting Standards, comparative figures have been adjusted to conform to changes in presentation for the current financial period.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Judgements

The directors evaluate estimates and judgements incorporated into the financial report based on historical knowledge and best availabe current information. Estimates assume a reasonable expectation of future events and are based on current trends and economic data obtained both externally and from within the Company.

Key Estimates - Impairment

The Company assesses impairment at each reporting date by evaluating conditions specific to the Company that may lead to impairment of assets. Where an impairment trigger exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is determined. Value-in-use calculations performed in assessing recoverable amounts incorporate a number of key estimates.

– The Company had 9,285,000 (2006 20,149,393) options over fully paid ordinary shares on issue at balance date. Options are considered to be potential ordinary shares. However, they are not considered to be dilutive in nature as their exercise will not result in earnings per share being diluted. The options have not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Since the end of the financial year, the company has received funds in respect of the exercise of 300,000 unquoted employee options due to expire on 4 July 2007 and 2,000,000 ordinary shares at an issue price of $2.00 each. The company has also issued 75,872 shares at an issue price of $1.977 in respect of a contracted tenement acquisition.

Since the end of the financial year no ordinary shares have been issued pursuant to the employee share incentive scheme.

There have been no other conversions to, calls of, or subscriptions for ordinary shares or issues of potential ordinary shares since the reporting date and before the completion of this financial report.

Under AASB 139, available for sale financial assets are revalued to fair value at reporting date. All adjustments resulting from changes in fair value are taken directly to equity. If AASB 1039 had been applied retrospectively, financial assets reflected at cost in the comparative year would have been adjusted to fair value at 30 June 2006. This would have resulted in an increase carrying value attributable to financial assets at 30 June 2006 and a corresponding increase in reserves at that date.

NOTE 17 TENEMENT EXPENDITURES AND LEASING COMMITMENTS

The Company has entered into certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on tenements held. These obligations vary from time to time in accordance with contracts signed. Tenement rentals and minimum expenditure obligations which may be varied or deferred on application, are expected to be met in the normal course of business. The minimum statutory expenditure requirements on the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $2,479,960. Of this, $920,480 is expected to be met by JV participants as a result of various joint ventures entered into.

The Company has leased office premises in West Perth. The lease has been formally extended for two years until 30 September 2009. The lease commitment for the year ended 30 June 2008 is $33,097.

NOTE 18 SEGMENTS

The Company operates only in one business, being the exploration for and development of minerals. Geographically, the Company's activities are conducted mainly within Western Australia and South Australia. Exploration expenditure was incurred predominantly on Western Australia tenements as exploration activities had not yet significantly commenced on the South Australian tenements.

NOTE 20 TENEMENT ACCESS

The interests of holders of freehold land encroached by the Tenements are given special recognition by the Mining Act (WA). As a general proposition, a tenement holder must obtain the consent of the owner of freehold before conducting operations on the freehold land. There can be no assurance that the Company will secure rights to access those portions of the Tenements encroaching freehold land but, importantly, the grant of freehold extinguished native title so wherever the Tenements encroach freehold the Company is in the position of not having to abide by the Native Title Act albeit aboriginal heritage matters still be of concern.

NOTE 21 SUPERANNUATION COMMITMENTS

Superannuation contributions are made to at least satisfy the statutory Superannuation Contribution Guarantee Act and in satisfaction of any salary sacrifice requests. All contributions were made to accumulation type funds selected by the employee and accordingly actuarial assessments were not required.

NOTE 22 EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE

Since the end of the financial year, the Company has received funds of $75,000 in respect of the exercise of 300,000 employee options which were due to expire 4 July 2007 and $4,000,000 in respect of two share placements to sophisticated investors of 1,000,000 shares each at an issue price of $2.00 each share.

No other material matters have occurred subsequent to the end of the financial year which require reporting on other than the matters referred to in the directors’ report or as reported to ASX.

NOTE 23 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

  • (a) Other transactions with directors and director related entities

Peter S Thomas provided legal services to the Company during the financial period on terms and conditions which were more favourable to the Company than Thomas otherwise provides to clients generally. He was paid $41,790 (Net of GST) for legal services not connected with the management of the Company.

Total amounts owing to directors or their associated entities at 30 June 2007 was $10,242 (2006: $5,654).

  • (b) Image subscribed for one share in Magnetic Resources NL on incorporation of that company. That one share was sub-divided into 6,000,000 ordinary shares and upon the successful listing of Magnetic on the ASX, was subject to escrowed holding restrictions until 5 April 2009.

Image entered into a Serviced Office Agreement with Magnetic whereby Image agreed to provide various administrative services for a one year period at $4,000 per month commencing 5 April 2007.

Image also entered into a Joint Venture Agreement (Agreement) with Magnetic whereby Image agreed to farm out various interests in various of its tenements.

NOTE 24 CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Native Title

The Company has been notified of a number of native title claims impacting its tenements.

The Company is not in a position to assess the likely effect of any native title claim impacting the Company.

The existence of native title and the policy of the West Australian state government in particular represent, as a general proposition, a serious threat to explorers and miners, not only in terms of delaying the grant of tenements and the progression of exploration development and mining operations, but also in terms of costs arising consequent upon dealing with aboriginal interest groups, claims for native title and the like.
