Image Resources NL (“Image” or “the Company”) review of operations for CY2025

CY2025 saw the completion of construction, project commissioning and start of mining and processing operations at the Company’s Atlas mineral sands project located 170km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin. Operations at Atlas commenced after an 18-month revenue gap following the completion of mining operations at Boonanarring in the latter part of CY2023 with final revenue from operations from the sale of Boonanarring heavy mineral concentrate (“HMC”) received in November 2023.

Image’s operational strategy, as outlined in its 2017 Bankable Feasibility Study, was for the self-funded development of the Atlas project following the completion of mining and processing at Boonanarring. While Atlas construction and commissioning were self-funded, the 18-month delay in receipt of final permitting for Atlas required the Company to secure a US$20 million Prepayment Facility with its HMC offtake partners in Q4 2024 for working capital.

Atlas Construction commenced in August 2024 and advanced rapidly with the completion of the Atlas accommodation camp (Nambung Village) and dismantling of the Boonanarring wet concentration plant for transport to Atlas in September.

In November 2024 the Atlas construction site was affected by a major bushfire that burned on all sides of the construction area resulting in limited losses of physical equipment consisting of some slurry pipelines and related equipment. The fire also caused delays in the construction timeline of 3-4 weeks.

Despite the setbacks to the construction schedule construction and commissioning of all critical components of the processing plant and associated infrastructure were completed in Q1 2025 resulting in a declaration of operational status at Atlas from 1 April 2025.

Ore processing ramped up quickly in April allowing for the first shipment of a nominal 10k tonnes of HMC in April 2025. Name-plate capacity was achieved in June with sufficient HMC production to facilitate the completion of two additional shipments of HMC totalling a nominal 25k tonnes in June 2025. This resulted in the June quarter (the first operating quarter for Atlas) being operationally cashflow positive.

The June quarter was not without its challenges, as the innovative CT1 spirals incorporated into the wet concentrate plant (“WCP”) design for Atlas, proved to be problematic due to the accumulation of root fibres in the pinch points within the spirals, resulting in substantial loss of heavy mineral recovery and spiral blockages. A backup plan was quickly implemented and the CT1 spirals were removed and replaced with conventional MG12 spirals in early May, with minimal downtime.

Other operational challenges included unusually high winter rainfalls impacting Atlas mining operations and causing delays at the Geraldton port from frequent storm surge events. In addition, mineral sands commodity prices started to weaken in late June and continued to weaken through the second half CY2025.

Despite the setbacks and challenges, your Company closed out CY2025 by beating guidance for C1 cash costs (A$334/t HMC produced versus A$340-400 guidance), and beating All-In Sustaining Cash Costs (“ AISC ”) (A$396/t HMC produced versus A$410-470 guidance) and only narrowly missing original guidance on HMC tonnes produced (174.5k DMT versus 175-195k guidance), whereas HMC tonnes shipped was within the guidance range (154.4k DMT versus 150-170 guidance). HMC production was missed as a consequence of higher HM ore grades not being encountered until later in the year than forecast.

Working Capital Funding

Funding for working capital requirements for Atlas was secured in late CY2024 on more favourable terms than conventional debt through Image’s long-standing HMC offtake partner Shantou Natfort Zirconium and Titanium Co., Ltd (“Natfort”) in China through an Offtake Prepayment Facility for US$20 million.

Drawdown of an initial US$5 million from the Natfort Prepayment Facility occurred in late December 2024, and the balance of US$5 million from Natfort plus US$10 million from a second Prepayment Facility with Billion Sunny were received in January 2025. These facilities had an initial one-year term from drawdown.

A relatively weak mineral sands market has negatively impacted Image’s HMC product demand and pricing. The Company is working closely with its offtake partners for the timely delivery of HMC and repayment of debt under the Prepayment Facilities with final repayment of the debt due at the end of 2026, subject to commodity market pricing.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Business Strategy

In contrast to Image’s Chapter 1 simple business model of operating Boonanarring and then Atlas as one mine at a time, producing a single product (HMC) and marketing the HMC to a single geographical jurisdiction (China), the Company is advancing studies on its other 100%-owned mineral sands projects under its Chapter 2 ambitions which involve multiple mines operating simultaneously, producing multiple products including potentially synthetic rutile, and marketing into multiple geographic jurisdictions.

The Company published a positive Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) on its Yandanooka project on 19 April 2024, and due to the positive results, work on a Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) was started. However, due to cash conservation measures adopted to ensure Atlas construction could be self-funded, the BFS was put on hold. However, discussions and negotiations with the landholder to secure access for mining continued and are ongoing.

The intermediate strategy is to investigate extensions to mining at Atlas and Atlas North, or at Image’s Hyperion project located in the vicinity of Atlas for processing via the current Atlas wet concentration plant. In addition, Image is also advancing a PFS on its Durack deposit with a goal of finalising this study at the end of Q1 CY2026.

The strategic objective is for mining to commence at Yandanooka or Durack in sync with the completion of mining and processing at Atlas. The Yandanooka and Durack projects are located on actively cultivated private farmland and therefore permitting timelines were anticipated to be shorter than any of Image’s other projects due to lower environmental and heritage sensitivities. However, access for mining must first be secured through compensation agreements which remain in negotiations.

Looking Forward

The Atlas project was operationally cash flow positive from its first full quarter of operations (Q2 CY2025). In addition, HMC production increased quarter-on-quarter for the balance of the year, with record production of 73k DMT in the December quarter. This strong operating performance allowed the delivery of record HMC shipments of 75k DMT in Q4 and to close the year with 20k DMT HMC in stock, providing a solid base for CY2026 HMC sales.

Based on Atlas operational and sales performance in CY2025, the Company is confident in achieving the following market guidance for CY2026: HMC Production: 170-190k DMT; HMC Sales: 180-200k DMT; C1 Cash Costs/t HMC Produced: A$300-360; and AISC/t HMC Produced: A$370-430.

While the Company’s operational focus will be squarely on Atlas for CY2026, efforts will be directed at advancing Image’s other mineral sands projects including desktop studies related to dry mining at Durack and Yandanooka as well as longer term and larger scale, potential dredge mining operations at McCalls, Mindarra Springs and Bidaminna.

In addition, in January 2026, the Company announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) of 2.1mt @2.1gpt Au containing 139,000 ounces of gold at its Erayinia King gold project. Given the very buoyant gold price, the Company initiated a strategic review in CY2026 to identify and assess options to unlock value for shareholders from Erayinia King and Image’s overall gold tenements with additional drilling and metallurgical testing planned.

2025 in Review

Operations

Following receipt of all relevant Atlas approvals in August 2024 and relocation of mining and processing equipment from Boonanarring, Atlas site construction activity accelerated rapidly and was funded from cash reserves. Mining at Atlas commenced in September 2024.

Despite the challenges of a major bush fire late in CY2024 impacting construction and challenges with the innovative CT1 spirals, first HMC production was achieved on 19 February 2025, operating status was declared from 1 April 2025 and first shipment of HMC followed later in the same month.

In CY2025 the Company produced 174,000 DMT HMC, just below the lower end of guidance, from just over 2 million tonnes of ore processed. CY2025 sales were 154,000 DMT. CY2025 C1 costs were A$334/DMT produced and AISC were $394/DMT produced, both below the lower end of guidance.

Mineral Sands Commodity Prices and FX

The Company’s HMC pricing model for Atlas is based on the underlying content of zircon (as % ZrO2+HfO2) and titanium dioxide (as % TiO2) in the HMC and benchmark market prices for the various products (zircon, rutile, and ilmenite) at appropriate quality specifications. The majority of the value of Boonanarring HMC

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

(circa 80%) was derived from the zircon content, whilst the value of Atlas HMC is relatively evenly split between zircon and titanium. Benchmark prices are denominated in USD.

Market pricing for mineral sands commodities (zircon, ilmenite and rutile) declined in CY2025 compared to CY2024.

Zircon: The average benchmark price for CY2025 was approximately US$1,800 per tonne (CY2024: US$2,050).
Ilmenite: The average benchmark price in CY2025 was approximately US$295 per tonne (CY2024: US$310 per tonne).
Rutile: The average benchmark price for 2025 was slightly above US$930 per tonne (CY2024: US$1,200).

Market Dynamics & Impact on HMC Pricing

Atlas HMC remains in demand with its relatively good processing characteristics and quality end products plus a small monazite credit encouraging offtakes to pay good rates compared to benchmarks. While the weaker commodities markets in CY2025 (driven by oversupply in China) resulted in offtake parties seeking some relief on sales volumes, the offtakers have expressed a desire for increased HMC shipments in Q1 2026.

Corporate

In respect of the CY2025 the Company reported a Net Loss of A$83 million (CY2024 Net Loss of A$9.4 million), including an exceptional item write down of mineral sands assets totalling A$53 million. The higher loss was a result of the commencement of operations at Atlas, combined with lower mineral sands prices impacting both operating margins and carrying values of assets associated with the Atlas mining operation. In addition, the Company incurred a deferred tax asset write-off ($8 million).

The Company closed the year with A$7.7 million in Cash and HMC Prepayment Facility debt of A$16.7 million. The Company is reliant on ongoing HMC shipments from its Atlas operation to be able to meet creditor and debt obligations.

The Company entered into FX hedging contracts during CY2025 which provided some protection against a strengthening in the Australian dollar against the United States dollar. At 31 December 2025 Image had US$10 million of collars remaining with a put strike at 0.582 and Call Strike at 0.625 with maturities ranging from January 2026 to December 2026.

Growth and Sustainability

Growth Strategy

The Company’s original operating strategy and plan outlined in its 2017 Bankable Feasibility Study (“BFS”) was to mine and process all available Ore Reserves at Boonanarring and then self-fund the relocation of the mining fleet and processing equipment and support facilities to Atlas. Ore processing at Boonanarring ended in Q3 2023, however permitting for Atlas was significantly delayed and not finalised until August 2024, creating a much longer gap in production between Boonanarring and Atlas that extended beyond a minimal gap anticipated in the 2017 BFS. The original strategy of operating Boonanarring and Atlas in series and generating a single HMC product supplied to a single geographical jurisdiction is referred to as ‘Chapter 1’ strategy.

“Looking to a Bright Future”

The current growth and sustainability strategy under the banner of Chapter 2 expanded on the original strategy and incorporates the potential development of multiple mining/processing operations operating simultaneously, producing multiple products through a mineral separation facility and potentially upgrading ilmenite to SR and expanding to a global market, subject as always to regulatory approvals, land access agreements where required, positive bankable feasibilities, project funding and final investment decisions.

Beyond operations at Atlas, Image’s Development Team continues to assess the Company’s options to extend mining and production in the Atlas area through mining at Atlas North or nearby Hyperion, and to advance future development options beyond Atlas at the Company’s 100%-owned deposits at Yandanooka, Durack, and other Eneabba projects, as well as at Bidaminna and further into the future, the McCalls project.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

During Q4 CY2025, Image applied for a grant through the WA Investment Attraction Fund – New Energy Industries Round 2 regarding the Company’s novel synthetic rutile (SR) production process currently under final patent application. If successful in securing grant funds, a demonstration SR plant is proposed to be constructed at the Boonanarring site in 2H CY2026.

In early January 2026 the Company announced a maiden Mineral Resources estimate of 2.1mt @ 2.1gpt Au containing 139k ounces of gold at our Erayinia King gold project. (ASX announcement dated 7 January 2026 ‘Erayinia Maiden MRE’) The Company is now undertaking a strategic review to assess options to unlock value for shareholders from this asset given the current very buoyant gold market. Options being considered include divestiture or other commercial arrangements for all of Image’s gold tenements, as well as options for the development of the Erayinia King project, including potentially by Image.

Sustainability

ESG & Sustainability Reporting

The Company published its third annual Sustainability Report for CY2024 on 24 September 2025.

Value-Adding Innovation

Positive test results on upgrading Bidaminna ilmenite to SR opened the door to the potential significant value-adding opportunity of upgrading future production of ilmenite from Yandanooka, Durack, Bidaminna, McCalls, and Mindarra Springs to SR. Following these test results, the Company developed a novel SR production process which was provisionally patented by Image and is now being reviewed for an international patent. The process involves the use of hydrogen instead of coal as the iron reductant which will substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

In September 2025, the WA Investment Attraction Fund – New Energy Industries opened Round 2 of grant funding for innovative processes related to critical minerals. As Image applied for a grant under this program in 2024 but was unsuccessful due to depletion of grant funds, the Company was invited to submit a new application for 2025 Round 2 grant funding. Successful applicants are to be notified in April 2026. If Image’s application leads to a grant, the Company could commence construction of an SR demonstration scale plant as early as 2H CY2026 at the Boonanarring site.

Community

Image continues to proudly contribute to the local communities in which it operates, including through local employment and support for local community events.

Modern Slavery Statement

Image continues to implement initiatives under the Modern Slavery Act. While the Company’s Tier 1 suppliers are predominantly long-standing Australian-based businesses, questionnaires are being issued progressively to all Tier 1 suppliers to assess potential risk of modern slavery within their operations and supply chains.

The Company completed and lodged its 4[th] annual Modern Slavery Statement for CY2024 in June 2025.

Yandanooka Mineral Sands Project

Yandanooka is 100%-owned and is located approximately 300 km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia. Access for mining is contingent on securing a land access agreement, the grant of a mining lease, and the completion of a bankable feasibility study (“BFS”).

A pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) was published on Yandanooka in April 2024 (ASX announcement dated 19 April 2024 “Strong Feasibility Results Yandanooka Project”). Project economics are based on an initial eight-year mine life at a processing rate of 420 tph rougher head feed. The throughput rate was determined based on the design and capacity of the WCP used at the successful Boonanarring project.

Yandanooka PFS Highlights:

Pre-tax NPV8: A$151 million
Pre-tax IRR8: 72%
Initial Development Capital: A$50.3 million
Capital payback (post first revenue): 15 months
Project EBITDA: A$277 million

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Forecast mine-life: 8.2 years
Total HMC production: 1.04 Mt

Yandanooka Ore Reserves Estimate Highlights:

30 million tonnes of Probable Ore Reserves at 3.9% total HM
Mineralisation from the surface with an average waste-to-ore strip ratio of 0.1:1
90.5% valuable heavy minerals ("VHM") in HM
High-value mineral assemblage with 14% zircon, 3.3% rutile, 27% leucoxene, 46% ilmenite, and 0.19% monazite in HM

Based on the positive results, the PFS is being progressively upgraded to a BFS using the same development methodology applied to the successful Boonanarring project. However, given components of the Boonanarring plant were utilised for the Atlas project (not anticipated at the time the PFS was published), the initial Yandanooka development capital outlined in the PFS is expected to increase by approximately A$22 million (to ~A$72 million) to account for replacement equipment. Adjustments to capital costs will be reflected in the BFS, which can only be completed post finalisation of a land access agreement and grant of a mining lease. Negotiations regarding compensation to the landowner for land access are continuing.

Durack Mineral Sands Project

Durack mineral sands deposit continued to be advanced as a potential development project to follow completion of mining at Atlas. Drilling at Durack commenced on 1 December 2025 for the collection of composite samples for metallurgical testing for a BFS, as well as confirmation and upgrading of the estimated Mineral Resources. This drilling program was completed in January 2026.

In addition to metallurgical sample collection and resource confirmation drilling, a limited number of holes were drilled to test potential extensions of heavy mineral mineralisation outside of the footprint of the current Mineral Resources. Laboratory analysis of drill and metallurgical samples are anticipated at the end of Q1 2026, subject to laboratory backlogs.

The current plan for Durack involves completion of the PFS at the end of Q1 2026 and a BFS towards the end of Q3 2026. Negotiations with landowners are being positively progressed. Durack is seen as a credible alternative to Yandanooka as the next Image dry mining mineral sands development project.

Exploration

The Company’s exploration portfolio is primarily focused on mineral sands, with the exception of two exploration licenses and two prospecting licenses, located southeast of Kalgoorlie, which make up the Erayinia/King Gold Project. (see Table 1 – Tenement Schedule). All tenements are located in Western Australia, and all mineral sands related tenements are located in the North Perth Basin, across a combined area of 1,241 square kilometres.

The Company’s minerals sands portfolio within the North Perth Basin tenements now consists of 23 named project areas, each with identified Mineral Resources.

On-ground exploration activities resumed in 2025 with the drilling of two deep core holes at the Erayinia/King gold project. The drilling program was completed on schedule, within budget, and without incident. The holes were designed to test structural targets at depth beneath the know shallow mineralisation. Results from the drilling confirmed the continuation of gold mineralisation at depth and provided geological insight that dramatically improved confidence in the geological model.

Structural logging of the oriented core identified a very strong and consistent foliation (dipping steeply to the southwest) with two plunging structures on the foliation plane (qtz lenses plunging steeply to the southwest and a fold axis plunging gently to the northwest). When the existing drill data is viewed with the newly acquired structural insight, gold grades corelate well from section to section and up and down dip. The new interpretation of gold mineralisation is simple and consistent with mineralised zones dipping at 68 to 70 degrees to the southwest.

This updated interpretation underpinned a maiden Mineral Resources Estimate (MRE) for the project, with results published in early January 2026 of 139,000 Oz Gold at 2.1gpt.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

In addition to the gold exploration, the Durack heavy mineral deposit was moved forward in the Company’s heavy mineral sand project pipeline. The exploration department provided technical support for a resource drill out of the deposit with a view to upgrade the Mineral Resource classification from indicated to Measured Resources as defined by the JORC Code 2012. Drilling commenced in December 2025 and was completed in January 2026. Early results correlate well with existing data.

Exploration drilling planned for CY2026 includes:

exploration drilling west of Yandanooka on the recently granted E70/6549
RC drilling at Erayinia/King (infill to upgrade Mineral Resources to Indicated, up dip extension to identify how close mineralisation comes to the surface and down dip extension to increase the size of the Mineral Resource)
Diamond core drilling at Erayinia/King (to collect geotechnical, metallurgical and geological samples inside conceptual pit shells and deep exploration under the existing Mineral Resources)

Previously reported information

This report includes information that relates to Mineral Resources, Ore Reserves, production targets and forecast financial information derived from production targets which were prepared and first disclosed under JORC Code 2012. The information was extracted from the Company’s ASX announcements as referenced in the body of the report which are available on the Company’s website at www.imageres.com.au. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the original market announcements and, in the case of reporting of Ore Reserves and Mineral Resources, that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the estimates in the relevant market announcements continue to apply and have not materially changed. The Company confirms that the form and context in which any Competent Person’s findings are presented have not been materially modified from the original market announcements.

Business Risks

The Company completed a formal, externally supported risk review in Q2 CY2024. This risk review was updated through a formal review in Q3 CY2025 to reflect the completion of construction and commissioning of the Atlas Project.

The risks and uncertainties described below represent the most significant but not the only risks and uncertainties that the Company faces. Additional risks and uncertainties of which Image is not aware or that Image currently considers to be immaterial may also adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations or future development prospects.

Each risk area has been rated for residual risk after adjusting for controls and treatment actions.

Key risks with residual ratings of either Very High, High or Medium associated with business strategies, and prospects for future financial years include:

1. Financial Stability and Funding: Residual Risk Rating: Very High

From the commencement of operations at Atlas the project has been consistently cash flow positive. However, a significant portion of the cash flow generated is being used to repay a US$20M HMC prepayment facility. This facility is forecast to be repaid in 2026. In addition, the mineral sands market weakened during CY2025 which has put additional pressure on cash flows of the Company.

Significant funds are required for other project studies and pre-development expenditures, general corporate and exploration expenditures, as well as Boonanarring rehabilitation with a focus on having the next mineral sands project ready for development post completion of processing at Atlas. There is no certainty that the Company will be able to generate sufficient funds from operations to meet these requirements. There is additional risk with respect to the development of new projects in terms of forecast and actual future mineral sands prices and foreign exchange rates which could negatively impact project returns.

If additional funding, other than as generated internally, is required, there is no guarantee that such funding will be available.

Since 2018, the Company has built a track record of raising funds when required for project development and of successfully managing its project development activities and generating internal cashflows from

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

operations to sustain the business. That track record was maintained with the execution of the US$20 million HMC Offtake Prepayment Facility which was drawn down in December 2024 and January 2025 and was progressively paid down through HMC shipments in CY2025.

2. Approvals, Licenses and Permits: Residual Risk Rating: Medium

The Company will require certain licenses, permits and approvals to develop the next projects after Atlas. The duration and success of efforts to obtain approvals and permits or secure land access to privatelyowned land are contingent upon many variables, some of which are outside the Company’s control. Failure to obtain, or delays in obtaining such licenses, permits and land access may adversely affect the Company’s ability to proceed with proposed project developments.

In addition, there is potential for legislative and regulatory reform, which could lead to more onerous conditions being placed upon approvals for new or existing operations. Additional costs may be incurred where federal or state governments introduce carbon reduction initiatives that could impact current and future operations.

The Company addresses these risks by ensuring employees have the skills and disciplines and/or engage appropriate consultants and contractors to establish relationships and follow and implement the approval processes directed at ensuring all contingencies are adequately addressed.

3. Major Interruption to Business Activities: Residual Risk Rating: Medium

A significant interruption to normal business activities (development, exploration or operational) caused by actual or threat of physical damage to assets, unavailability of workforce, technology systems (refer also Item 4. Cyber Security), supply chain or wider community disruption could have a material impact on the Company. It has been identified that there could be an increasing risk of damage to physical assets or interruption to operations from extreme weather conditions (fires, floods and the impact of extreme heat on assets and workforce) that may or may not be related to climate change.

The Company manages this risk in a number of ways including environmental and safety systems and processes including monitoring and reporting of incidents. The Company applies third-party risk assessments when tendering key contracts and monitors performance. The Company is quick to respond to potential issues and is able to adapt quickly to changed circumstances. This has allowed the Company to respond efficiently and appropriately to challenges such as major fires, equipment failures and extreme weather.

4. Cyber Security: Residual Risk Rating: Medium

In an increasingly technology driven business world the Company is exposed to an increasing number of cyber security risks and the perpetrators driving these threats are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

In order to reduce these risks, the Company uses reputable and experienced third parties to monitor our systems and processes and to recommend and roll-out security upgrades. In addition, the Company applies multi-factor authentication controls where possible.

5. Other Key Risks: Low

Other key risks identified, with current residual risk ratings of low, which could result in significant impact on the Company include talent attraction and retention, health safety and well-being, operational performance, counter-party risk, legislative and regulatory reform, ore reserves depletion and replacement, social licence to operate and loss of key people.

Climate Report

The Company continues to develop its assessment of the potential impacts of climate change and the transition to a low carbon economy.

The Company’s physical and transitional risk assessment process is ongoing. Changes in the Company’s strategies addressing climate change and transition to a low carbon economy may materially impact financial results in future reporting periods; as well as risks imposed upon the Company by legislation.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

1. Corporate Background

The Company is based in Western Australia and specialises in mining extraction and mineral processing. Relative to other mining companies in Western Australia, the Group is a very small operator in terms of mine size, employees, production and potential climate related impacts.

The Image team is committed to ethical business practices in its operations and is guided by an overarching philosophy of responsible resource management and respect for the communities and environments in which the Company operates.

The processes involved in extracting processing and transporting its HMC product are varied. The Company currently processes ore through a WCP (gravity separator) and then transports the HMC product to a port before the HMC is shipped to the customer. Mining is generally carried out using third party resources whereas processing activities are typically performed using the Company’s equipment and facilities. Transportation of products to customers is carried out using third party resources and typically involves infrastructure such as roads, and ships for transportation to international customers, with associated assets belonging to third parties.

The development and construction of mining and energy assets is typically performed by third party contractors combined with assistance from the Company’s employees where appropriate. Construction of major civil infrastructure assets such as roads and ports are undertaken by external engineering and construction companies. Mining equipment is procured by our contractors from large international equipment manufacturers. Ancillary and processing related equipment is sometimes purchased directly by Image (either second hand or new).

HMC is sold to offtakers typically in China through long-term contracts. The offtakers separate the HMC into individual mineral sand products which are sold in China to downstream manufacturing or production processes that will ultimately lead to finished goods. Demand for HMC and downstream products is typically based on global macroeconomic factors as well as pricing of products relative to alternatives.

The impact of the Company’s corporate office on the environment is relatively immaterial. The Company has existing investments in early-stage development projects that seek to integrate more sustainable technologies into its production processes, and the Company is also pursuing investments in novel Synthetic Rutile production technology which focus on incorporating green hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The Company has limited resources for the assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities and is largely reliant on consultants for the supply of data and information to formulate an understanding of the potential impact of climate change on the Company’s prospects and operations. The Company endeavours to assess climate risks and opportunities on an annual ongoing basis and builds such assessments into its consolidated Business Risk process.

2. Governance

2.1 Board and Board Committees

The Board is responsible for providing oversight into climate related risks and opportunities and how decisions on how climate risks and opportunities should be viewed in the Company’s strategies and plans.

The Board’s relevant responsibilities include:

Approving the Company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) targets and statements including with respect to climate related matters.
Reviewing the Company’s climate-related risks and opportunities as part of the overall Business Risk review process.
Overseeing the Company’s performance with respect to reducing emissions and sustainability generally.
Considering the Company’s risks and opportunities with respect to the potential impact of climate change including considering 3rd party reports where appropriate.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

The Board is supported by the Audit and Risk Committee.

The Audit and Risk Committee responsibilities include:

Monitoring the effectiveness of accounting and internal control systems including accounting processes, compliance with applicable standards, including liaising with the Company’s internal auditors on matters relevant to the Company’s financial reporting obligations and risk disclosures (including for AASB S2)
Overseeing the risk management processes for identifying, assessing, prioritising and managing climate related risks and opportunities
Overseeing management’s implementation of the risk management system and management’s response to the risks and opportunities including monitoring the implementation of mitigation measures as appropriate
Reviewing and making recommendations to the Board in terms of risk related disclosures including disclosures required in the Annual Report.

3. Climate risks and opportunities impacting our business.

The physical impacts of climate change and the transition towards a net-zero emissions economy will impact areas of the Company’s business to varying degrees.

The Company seeks to minimise its environmental footprint (where it is practicable to do so given the very competitive environment the Company operates in), to manage climate-related risks and to seek to participate in the opportunities that the transition to a lower-carbon economy may provide.

The Company has conducted an initial high-level assessment to identify and subsequently determine the current and anticipated effects of climate-related risks and opportunities on its business. In this assessment, the Company identified specific areas within its business where the identified climate-related risks and opportunities are concentrated, such as physical risks from extreme weather events and opportunities such as increasing demand for downstream products in renewable energy applications.

The Company’s assessment identified the following, potentially significant, climate-related risks and opportunities that could reasonably be expected to affect the Company’s prospects, specifically its cash flows, access to finance or cost of capital:

1. Power risk: Exposure to changing carbon regulations (transition risk) This has the potential to restrict access to preferred or cheaper power sources or to increase costs directly through government intervention in electricity/fuel markets. The key mitigants are to use renewables where possible and practicable to do so. Solar and wind power are increasingly competitive and environmentally friendly alternatives. However, it is not yet demonstrated that renewables can supply 100% of power demands. The group used behind the metre solar at the Boonanarring operation in the past and will look to reincorporate this renewable supply in the future as well apply other renewable energy options, where possible and practicable to do so in future operations.

Financial Impact in CY2025: The Company did not identify any direct impact in 2025. No material impact to our operations is expected in 2026 from changes to power pricing or changes to carbon regulations in Western Australia.

2. Fire risk (physical risk) The Company operates in relatively remote areas of Western Australia where, particularly during summer, the hot, dry and windy conditions create periods of extreme fire danger. Fires are frequent and often difficult to contain/control.

Mitigants are engineered fire breaks and fire suppression systems (including our own fire tenders) which are available at all our operating mine sites and fire training.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Financial Impact in CY2025: A major bushfire late in CY2024 resulted in the loss of approximately A$1 million of mine related equipment at our Atlas operation. A$0.8 million of the equipment lost was covered by insurance but with a deductible of A$0.5 million. The claim for insurance was settled for A$0.3 million resulting in a net loss to the business of A$0.5 million. This major fire caused delays of 3 to 4 weeks in construction which resulted in estimated additional costs of A$0.3$0.4 million.

Separately approximately A$0.4 million in Image owned farm related fencing was destroyed in CY2025 in both the major bushfire and a number of smaller fires at our other mine sites. The fencing is not insurable.

The total impact on results for CY2025 of fire related events is estimate at approximately A$1.5 million. In addition, more frequent fire events are likely to result in an increase in insurance premiums. The potential impact on insurance premiums has not been quantified but will likely be relatively immaterial in the short to medium term.

The potential risk of fire damage to property may or may not be increasing as a result of climate change. However, the specific risk of fire to the Company’s Atlas operation and other group assets is likely lower for CY2026, due to bushfire activity in CY2024 and CY2025 which significantly reduced the fuel load in the vicinity of Atlas and our other Company assets.

3. Extreme Weather Events and Flood risk vulnerability of assets (physical risk) The Company’s mining assets are located in the mid-west in Western Australia and the area is not historically subject to frequent severe weather conditions or substantial flood risks compared to northern Western Australia. The mid-west area receives a high proportion of its annual rainfall in winter which can result in localised flooding events which can lead to significant erosional damage, closed and damage roads, and isolated flooding that can interrupt mining and transport operations and result in increased costs.

Financial Impact in CY2025: Higher levels of rainfall in the winter of CY2025 at our Atlas operation resulted in a number of direct and indirect cost increases. Wet weather delayed the completion of the sealing of the Atlas access road and also resulted in additional maintenance on the road. The resulting direct increase in costs are estimated at A$1 million. This also resulted in a delay in being able to switch from double to triple truck configuration for transport of HMC to port also resulting in additional costs of approximately A$1 million.

Higher than normal winter rainfall in CY2025 also resulted in required adjustments to the mining plan and schedule which resulted in lower mined ore grade and lower total annual production. However, given the nature of the schedule changes and other factors, it is not possible to estimate an isolated impact on total costs. Therefore, the total impact on costs in CY2025 from higher-thannormal winter rains is estimated at A$2 million. With, the completion of construction (sealing) of the Atlas access road, the potential impacts of extreme rain events on the Company’s operations in CY2026 are significantly reduced.

4. Extreme heat impacting productivity of the equipment and/or workforce (physical risk) Our operations are exposed to conditions of extreme heat being located in relatively remote parts of Western Australia. Whilst our operations are designed to withstand extreme conditions and we already have mitigants in place such as air-conditioning, water sprays, suitable clothing, sunscreen and water stations, increasing average temperatures over the longer term could result in more frequent interruptions to production either through impacts on plant and equipment and/or the workforce.

Financial Impact in CY2025: There were no direct impacts on production in 2025 identified as being the result of extreme heat. There were some minor additional costs associated with high temperature events but these are not considered to be related climate change, but more likely Western Australia’s normal weather patterns which includes very hot periods during summer. There is not expected to be any material risk of impacts related to heat events on the Company’s operations in CY2026.

Operations Review (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

5. Changing demand for products impacting price (transition risk and opportunity) Titanium and zircon-based products have been identified as critical minerals in the transition to renewable energy and decarbonization. However, the transition is unlikely to be a smooth one and this could cause market interruption and dislocation. It is difficult to measure the timing and actual impact of the transition to renewables on mineral sands prices. Potential mitigants that the Company is considering is a move to downstream processing (e.g.: synthetic rutile production with potential for higher margins protecting against demand/price volatility); direct application of renewable energy to our processes (e.g.: solar, wind, batteries) to reduce emissions; and potential commodity diversification (e.g.: gold in addition to mineral sands).

Financial Impact in CY2025: It is difficult to identify the specific impact of supply and demand changes driven by climate change on pricing for mineral sands. On the contrary, even with higher global demand for critical minerals related to renewal energy use and storage, mineral sands commodity prices actually fell substantially in CY2025.

There is not expected to be any material risk of adjustment in mineral sands pricing related to climate change in CY2026.

For each significant identified risk and opportunity, the Company has determined the potential effects on the Group’s business plan by rating the potential impact and probability within our overall Business Risk process. By integrating these insights into strategic planning, the Company aims to manage the financial, operational and reputational implications of climate change along with other business risks and opportunities.

Specific climate change risk, and opportunities, are considered as part of the Company’s all-encompassing risk review and material climate related impacts are identified and managed within that risk framework. Each risk area has been rated for residual risk after adjusting for controls and treatment actions and residual risks with a rating of high are described in the Business Risks section above. None of the specific climate related risks noted above are currently rated as an extreme or high risk.

GHG Emissions

Scope 1 emissions for CY2024 were 762.1 tCO 2-e (2023: 12,753 tCO 2-e) a drop of over 90% Scope 2 emissions for CY2024 were 281.8 tCO 2-e and also dropped over 90% compared to 2023.

The reduction in emissions from CY2023 to CY2024 is a direct result of the transition from operations at Boonanarring to Atlas with the result that no HMC was produced during 2024.

The Company is yet to finalise its GHG emissions reporting for CY2025. Initial results show Scope 1 emissions of 14,566 tCO2-e and zero Scope 2 emissions for CY2025.

The increase in emissions from CY2024 to CY2025 is as a result of the commencement of mining operations at Atlas in February 2025 with first HMC production in March 2025.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF THE REMUNERATION AND NOMINATION COMMITTEE

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Image Resources NL, I am pleased to present our Remuneration Report for the calendar year ending 31 December 2025 ( CY2025 ).

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee ( RNC ) has evaluated our compensation strategies to ensure they align with our short-term and long-term goals and shareholder interests while also serving to attract, retain, and appropriately reward team members. As a result, the RNC resolved to introduce a new STI and LTI framework for CY2025.

While STI outcomes for the performance year ending 31 December 2025 will not be finalised until after the annual report has been published, the RNC expects that STI outcomes for executives will reflect another challenging year.

There were no increases to fixed remuneration for executive KMP during the year.

The RNC also resolved to defer payments of the STI awards to executive KMP for the PY2024 and half year period ended 31 December 2024 to a date to be determined following receipt of first revenue from Atlas, to preserve cash while production from Atlas is ramping up. The payments were subsequently made in March 2026.

The Remuneration and Nomination Committee ( RNC ) has evaluated our compensation strategies to determine whether they align with our short-term and long-term goals and shareholder interests while also serving to attract, retain, and appropriately reward team members.

AARON SOO

CHAIR - Remuneration and Nomination Committee

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

1. INTRODUCTION

The Remuneration Report outlines the remuneration arrangements for Image Resources NL for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.

Consistent with the advice of various remuneration consultants, the RNC has determined that its objective is to align its remuneration outcomes with the 50[th] percentile when measured against a ‘basket’ of Image’s peers. RNC uses information from independent reviews when setting Board and executive reward levels.

Relating to this report and the change noted the Company provides the following glossary : PY 2024 means the remuneration period of 12 months ending 30 June 2024

PY 2025 means the remuneration period of 12 months ending 30 June 2025

2H PY 2024 means the remuneration period of 6 months ending 31 December 2025 STI period – in this report, typically 12 months ending 31 December (previously 30 June) LTI period – in this report, typically 36 months ending 31 December (previously 30 June)

2. SNAPSHOT OF FY2025 COMPANY PERFORMANCE AND KMP REWARD

2.1 FY2025 REALISED REWARD (REMUNERATION RECEIVED)

The remuneration shown in the tables in this section are provided as supplementary non-statutory information to help shareholders to understand the total value of remuneration realised and received by Executive KMP in the previous and current financial years.

Importantly, the value ascribed to equity in this section is calculated differently from the statutory disclosure in section 11 of this Remuneration Report, as detailed in the footnotes below the table. This approach illustrates the value of the award to the Executives during aligned remuneration and financial reporting periods.

3. ADJUSTMENTS TO EXECUTIVE KMP FRAMEWORK FOR PY 2025 (INCLUDING LONG TERM ALIGNMENT OF PY (PERFORMANCE YEAR OF THE COMPANY AS ADOPTED EFFECTIVE 25 JULY 2024) WITH FY (FINANCIAL YEAR OF THE COMPANY)

The Board has instituted the following changes:

The performance year now aligns with the calendar year and the Company’s financial year.

STI performance measures have been simplified and narrowed down to two key metrics (Financial (45%) and Growth & Development (55%), with keys hurdles within each.

LTI performance measures will be linked 100% to comparative shareholder returns. This approach is directed at ensuring executives apply a balanced focus upon long-term financial outcomes for shareholders.

5. REMUNERATION GOVERNANCE

5.1 ROLE OF THE BOARD

The Board is responsible for evaluating the performance and reviewing the remuneration of the Managing Director, Company Secretary, and other senior executives. The Board has constituted the RNC to assist it in fulfilling its corporate governance responsibilities regarding remuneration and overseeing the Company’s remuneration framework.

5.2 ROLE OF THE REMUNERATION (& NOMINATION) COMMITTEE

The complete role and responsibilities of the RNC are outlined in the Image Resources Corporate Governance & Key Policies Compliance Manual (IMA Corporate Governance and Policies Manual).

The Committee consists of three directors and is chaired by Mr. Soo, who is regarded as an independent director.

The Company’s policy for determining the nature and amount of emoluments for Key Management Personnel (KMP) is detailed in Section 7 for Executive KMP and Section 12 for non-executive directors.

5.3 RNC AND KMP REMUNERATION AND INCENTIVE POLICIES

The RNC is responsible for the Group’s remuneration policy. The Committee engages an external, independent remuneration advisor (refer to the Use of Remuneration Consultants section below) to assist in providing recommendations to the Board regarding remuneration strategies, policies, contracts, and packages for directors and executives, as well as reviewing annual compensation arrangements.

The RNC’s mandate regarding remuneration is to recommend to the Board appropriate and competitive remuneration and incentive policies (including the criteria for awarding and the amount of any bonuses) for KMP and others as deemed suitable, which:

encourages them to support the Group’s growth and success within an appropriate control framework.

aligns the key leadership’s interests with those of the Company’s shareholders.

are paid within any limits imposed by the Constitution and provide recommendations to the Board regarding the necessity for increases to such amounts at the Company’s annual general meeting, and
in the case of directors, only permits participation in equity-based remuneration schemes after appropriate disclosure to, due consideration by, and with the approval of, the Company’s shareholders.

5.4 RNC AND INCENTIVE PLANS AND BENEFITS PROGRAMS

The RNC’s responsibility, inter alia, is to:

Review and make recommendations regarding long-term incentive compensation plans, such as equity-based plans. Unless otherwise delegated by the Board, the Committee will act on behalf of the Board to manage equity-based and employee benefit plans and will, therefore, fulfill any responsibilities under those plans, including making and authorising grants, in accordance with their terms.
Ensure that, when feasible, incentive plans are structured around appropriate and achievable performance targets that evaluate relative performance and offer remuneration upon their attainment, and
Review and, if necessary, provide suggestions to improve any existing employee benefit programs.

5.5 RNC AND NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS

The Committee will ensure that non-executive directors receive no retirement benefits apart from statutory superannuation entitlements.

To the extent that the Company adopts a remuneration structure for its non-executive directors other than cash and superannuation, it will disclose this to shareholders and obtain approvals as required by law and the ASX listing rules (Listing Rules).

5.6 SECURITIES TRADING POLICY

All KMP and employees, including long-term consultants and contractors, are subject to the Company’s Securities Trading Policy, which outlines the governance, policies, and controls on trading in the Company’s securities.

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

5.7 USE OF REMUNERATION CONSULTANTS

The RNC is authorised to seek independent professional advice from outsiders with relevant experience and expertise. The Committee will seek such advice if it considers this necessary to fulfil its responsibilities to:

assess the market to ensure senior executives are rewarded commensurate with their roles and duties.
obtain expert advice in setting and reviewing salary levels; and
make recommendations on incentive schemes.

The RNC engaged Guerdon Associates during the year. No remuneration recommendations as defined in the Corporations Act were provided.

6. EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE SCHEMES

Shareholders approved the Incentive Awards Plan (IAP) at the annual general meeting on 30 May 2023, and since then, it has been the tool for offering equity incentives to executive KMP and employees.

6.1 INCENTIVE AWARDS PLAN (IAP)

The IAP provides the Company with flexibility to motivate and incentivise employees, enhance employee retention, and align incentive awards effectively with longer-term shareholder returns. It was adopted because the previous Employee Share Plan was restricted to the matter of loan-funded shares the administration of which involved a significant degree of work to limited advantage to the Company.

The IAP aims to standardise equity awards that better reward the group’s directors and employees for their dedicated and ongoing commitment and effort and acknowledge their contributions. It grants employees conditionally convertible (performance) rights to receive fully paid ordinary shares, subject to terms and conditions set by the Company’s directors.

The principal provisions of the IAP include.

The plan is accessible to all directors (subject to prior shareholder approval of each issue) and employees of the Group.
The Company may, at any time and in its absolute discretion, extend an offer to an eligible director (subject to the ASX listing rules) or employee.
The number and conditions of convertible securities issued to an eligible employee are determined by the Company’s directors.
An eligible participant may nominate a nominee to receive the convertible securities.
The Board may determine an option exercise price (if any).
Any convertible security may be made subject to vesting conditions as determined by the Board at its discretion.
A share acquired in accordance with the IAP may be subject to a restriction condition.

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

7.1 POLICY AND APPROACH

The underlying principle to our remuneration framework is to remunerate with a relevant, appropriate and market comparable mix of total fixed remuneration ( TFR ) and incentives (at-risk remuneration), both long-term and short-term, to achieve:

A positive culture in which high calibre employees are motivated to achieve Company objectives.
Employees are appropriately remunerated for their role and at a level comparable to the market to maximise retention of key staff.
A remuneration structure that is appropriate and consistent with the Company values and policies and aligns employee and shareholder interests by rewarding performance that creates long-term value for shareholders.

7.2 GUARANTEED RATE INCREASES

There are no guaranteed rate increases fixed in the contracts of any of the key management personnel.

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

7.3 OVERVIEW OF EXECUTIVE REMUNERATION FRAMEWORK

This policy results in a framework for remuneration of executives that provides for a mix of fixed and variable remuneration. The Managing Director has a greater proportion of at-risk remuneration relative to TFR when compared to the ratios applicable to other KMP. Variable remuneration is provided through short - and long-term incentives. The elements of the Executive KMP remuneration are as follows:

		Remuneration Component Definition and time frame	Purpose

Fixed	Short-term	Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) comprises base salary, superannuation, and allowances One year time frame	- provide a benchmarked, competitive cash salary - appropriate salaries ensure attraction and retention of key talent
		Short Term Incentives (STI) Once measured, to be paid 2/3 in cash and 1/3 in performance rights, the latter awarded subject to further continuing employment conditions for 12 and 24 months	- reward performance over the short term - measured against achievement of one-year strategic objectives
At Risk	Long Term	Long Term Incentives (LTI) Performance Rights conditionally vesting over a three-year performance period	- reward longer term performance - achievement of strategic objectives - retention of key staff

7.4 TOTAL FIXED REMUNERATION

Total Fixed Remuneration (TFR) includes base cash salary, allowances and statutory superannuation. TFR for executives is reviewed at least annually by the RNC and any changes must first be approved by the Board after considering RNC recommendations. The level of TFR is set with the need to attract and retain talent, having regard to the mix of fixed and variable remuneration appropriate for the role. Remuneration changes for other employees are set having regard to recommendations from management. The group seeks to position TFR to be at or near the 50[th] market percentile of salaries for comparable positions/companies within the mining industry. The target TFR is based on information provided by independent remuneration consultants.

7.5 AT RISK REMUNERATION: INCENTIVES

The current incentive plan includes provision for equity remuneration based on the Incentive Award Plan outlined in section 6.1 above.

The STI portion of at-risk remuneration is paid as a combination of cash (two-thirds) and equity in the form of performance rights (one-third), while the LTIs are paid solely upon the conversion of performance rights. Furthermore, one-third of STI performance rights are subject to a one-year continuation of employment condition, while two-thirds are subject to a two-year continuation of employment condition.

The remuneration mix, based on maximum incentive opportunity, being a set % of Total Fixed Remuneration ( TFR ), for executives for each performance year are shown in the following table:

		Maximum LTI	Maximum STI and LTI
		opportunity	Incentive Opportunity (%
Key Executive	Maximum STI opportunity (% of TFR)	(% of TFR)	TFR)
Patrick Mutz	50% (33.5% cash & 16.5% equity performance rights)	90%	140%
John McEvoy	50% (33.5% cash & 16.5% equity performance rights)	60%	110%
Todd Colton	50% (33.5% cash & 16.5% equity performance rights)	60%	110%

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

The maximum number of performance rights to be offered to Key Executives is calculated by dividing the maximum opportunity value for each Key Executive by the volume weighted average share price as determined by the board.

For the performance year ending 31 December 2025, using $0.0923 ( 20-day VWAP 31 December 2024 ) for LTIs and 0.0599 ( 20-day VWAP 31 December 2025 ) for STIs, the following Performance Rights and cash awards have been/ will be issued:

Note

1 For further disclosures on this measurement of actual STI rights awarded see section 3.5.7.
2 Maximum LTI is set at 90% of TFR for the MD and 60% for the CFO and COO.
3 The Board will determine each Key Executive’s performance against LTI KPIs shortly after 30 June 2026 and will use that LTI performance score to determine the percentage of the maximum LTI opportunity achieved (Percentage LTI Achieved). The number of LTI performance rights that vest after 30 June 2026 will be determined by multiplying the Percentage LTI Achieved times the maximum number of LTI performance rights issued.

9. KEY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ON HOW THE INCENTIVES WORK

9.1 SHORT TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (STIP)

WHAT IS STIP?

This is the plan that governs the component of at-risk remuneration annually relating to the achievement of the Boardapproved short-term performance measures. These measures are linked to operational and financial targets and relate to the Company’s short-term strategic objectives. These targets are identified in detail below.

HOW IS STIP REMUNERATION PAID?

The portion of the STIP that becomes payable (subject to the fulfilment of conditions) is settled two thirds as a cash component and one third as performance rights. 1/3 of the PRs vest 12-months following the end of the performance period with continuing employment and 2/3s vesting after 24-months following the end of the performance period with continuing employment.

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

WHY DOES THE BOARD CONSIDER STIP IS APPROPRIATE?

The Group’s STIP is designed to link any short-term incentive payments with the Group’s achievement of overall performance targets that are aligned to the Group’s short term strategic objectives as laid out by management and endorsed by the Board at beginning of the relevant PY. This serves to strengthen the link between executives’ remuneration and the delivery of annual targets and priorities.

Further, a reward structure that provides a portion of total remuneration as at-risk is considered necessary to provide competitive and up-to-date remuneration packages relative to market.

DOES STIP TAKE INTO ACCOUNT ACHIEVEMENT AGAINST OBJECTIVES?

Yes. The STI performance targets are established at the start of the financial year. Outcomes relative to these targets are reviewed at the end of the financial year and award of STIs are made dependent on performance achieving the specific KPI targets set at the start of the year subject to the overriding discretion of the Board. The quantum awarded will vary depending on percentage achievement against the performance criteria set at the beginning of the year. The target performance is 60% of maximum opportunity. STI performance rights are also subject to employment vesting conditions, requiring continued employment with the Company for a specified period of time following issue or vesting.

HOW MUCH DO THE KMP EARN FROM STIP?

The maximum STI opportunity for each executive is 50% of TFR per annum.

The STIP is designed with an indicative 5% chance of achieving 100% of maximum opportunity: an indicative 50% chance of achieving a target award of 60% of maximum opportunity; and an indicative 95% chance of achieving the threshold award of 30% of maximum. This structure was adopted based on the advice of independent remuneration consultant Remsmart Consulting Services (Remsmart) (formerly BDO Reward WA Pty Ltd).

WHAT DID KMP EARN FROM THE STIP FOR PY2025

The RNC assessed the performance outcomes against the STI PY2025 KPIs and calculated the overall percentage of STIs achieved. The Board has yet to determine the % of the possible maximum opportunity STI to be awarded to KMP based on the performance measures set for CY2025.

This translated to cash and performance rights awards as shown in the following table:

WHAT WERE THE PERFORMANCE CRITERIA TO DETERMINE SHORT TERM PERFORMANCE MEASURES FOR PY2025?

There were two gateways for the award of STIs being zero fatalities during CY2025 and EBITDA above a specified percentage of budgeted EBITDA.

Objective	KPI	Purpose	Weighting
Operational: EBITDA	Budget EBITDA of $29.5M for CY2025 (Threshold 0%: $26.55M, Target 50%: $29.5M, Stretch: 100% $32.45M)	EBITDA is a good all-round measure of operational performance. Actual performance is adjusted for mineral sands commodity prices and FX – adjusted EBITDA (considered mainly outside of management’s control).	50%
Operational: HMC Tonnes produced	Budget HMC Tonnes produced CY2025 185,500 (Threshold 0%: 166,950, Target 50%: 185,500, Stretch: 204,050)	Achievement of HMC production has a direct impact on overall operational performance	20%
Operational: HMC Tonnes Sold	Budget HMC Tonnes sold CY2025 157,700 (Threshold 0%: 141,930, Target 50%: 157,700, Stretch: 173,470)	Achievement of HMC sales has a direct impact on overall operational performance and company performance (but can be impacted by shipping schedule issues outside of management’s control)	10%

9.2 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN (LTIP)

WHY DOES THE BOARD CONSIDER A LTIP APPROPRIATE?

An effective LTIP that is aligned to the strategic objectives of the Company, can motivate executives to drive performance and optimise long term shareholder value. It links a significant proportion of potential reward to the Company’s achievement of operational milestones and growth in share price and returns to shareholders. An effective LTIP is a key part of the remuneration framework to attract and retain talented executives given the prevailing remunerative practices landscape.

HOW IS THE LTI PAID?

The LTI awards are to be delivered as performance rights granted to Executive KMP in accordance with the Company's Incentive Award Plan ( Plan ). Each performance right, subject to conditions, may convert into an ordinary fully paid share for nil consideration. Long term awards are issued annually at the discretion of the Board and remained unvested until the end of the three-year performance period. The LTI KPI performance measures, as set by the Board, are scored at the end of the performance period, and performance rights vest at the level of scoring of performance, with a target of 60% of maximum LTI opportunity and the threshold score is 30% of maximum opportunity. Any performance rights that does not vest based on performance scoring are forfeited and no ordinary shares will be issued for these rights. There is also a trigger KPI of no fatalities during the 3[rd] year of each LTI grant, which if not achieved, will result in zero performance rights vesting for that year.

WHO CAN PARTICIPATE IN THE LTIP?

Eligible participants are executive and non-executive directors and any associated body corporate of the Company and any full, part time or casual employees of individual service providers of any group Company. Company policy does not allow the award of performance rights to non-executive directors.

HOW MANY PERFORMANCE RIGHTS ARE ISSUED?

The maximum opportunity value of an award is determined by the Board at its discretion, in accordance with applicable law and stock exchange rules. The dollar value of the maximum opportunity award is calculated as a percentage of the TFR, that percentage varying according to the Executive KMP’ positions and roles in the Company. For PY 2025 the MD was allocated a maximum opportunity value at 90% of TFR and the CFO and COO at 60% of TFR. The number of performance rights to be issued is the Executive KMP LTI maximum opportunity value divided by the volume weighed average price prior to the first trading day of the measurement period.

The percentage level of vesting is determined based on performance scoring against LTI KPIs following the end of the performance period.

WHAT IS THE PERFORMANCE PERIOD?

The LTI performance period is 3 years.

Remuneration Report – audited (cont’d)

==> picture [71 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

HOW IS PERFORMANCE MEASURED FOR THE DETERMINATION OF AN LTI AWARD?

Long-term KPIs are developed by the RNC and approved by the Board. The targets are developed to align with the Company’s strategic plan and deliverables. The performance targets are a disclosed weighted mix of measures relating to long-term operational strategy and shareholder return. These are disclosed in detail for PY24in the paragraphs that follow.

At the end of the measurement period, the Board with the RNC, assesses achievement against objectives to determine if and at what level performance measures were me, as a % achievement including provision for any discretionary adjustment the Board sees fit.

WHAT IS THE EXPIRY DATE OF THE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS?

ASX Guidance Note 19 currently provides that ASX policy is for performance rights to have a maximum 5-year expiry date. The Company policy is to set a three-year expiry date.

WHAT IS USED TO MEASURE PERFORMANCE FOR THE LTIP?

For PY2024 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026, for 2H PY2024 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 and PY2025 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027 refer to section 9.

FOR PY2025 ONE OF THE KPIS IS SHAREHOLDER PERFORMANCE SCORE – HOW IS THIS MEASURED?

Shareholder performance score is a simple average of two shareholder appreciation measures – share price appreciation relative to a defined peer group, and absolute total shareholder return. The LTI performance rights will vest according to the following proportions for the shareholder performance conditions, on a straight-line basis in between:

Share price appreciation relative to Peer Group (50% Weighting)	Share price appreciation relative to Peer Group (50% Weighting)
Outcome	% vesting of maximum
Threshold: Below 50th Percentile	0%
Target: 50thPercentile	50%
Stretch: 80thPercentile	100% (straight line between 50th& 80th percentile)

Absolute TSR (50% Weighting)	Absolute TSR (50% Weighting)
Outcome	% vesting of maximum
Threshold: Below 10% CAGR	0%
Target: 10% CAGR	50%
Stretch: 15% or more CAGR	100%

WHY IS THE PEER GROUP AN APPROPRIATE MEASURE FOR RELATIVE SHAREHOLDER RETURN FOR PY2025

The selected peer group consists of the same basket of companies used for executive TFR benchmarking. The peer group companies are selected as facing similar risks and market conditions as the Company, sharing common value drivers such as commodity prices, wages, and funding costs.

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PERFORMANCE RIGHTS IF A KMP IS NO LONGER EMPLOYED BY THE COMPANY?

If the employee ceases employment with the Company, all unvested performance rights will lapse except if the Company exercises its discretion to override that result.

WHAT HAPPENS IN A CHANGE OF CONTROL EVENT

If such an event occurs, any vesting conditions will be deemed to be automatically waived, pro-rated to reflect time elapsed and performance as determined by the Board acting reasonably, with any residual/ unvested rights lapsing.

IS THERE A DEFERRAL MECHANISM?

Not in the terms of grant of the performance rights albeit a deferral might be imposed as a condition of an award.

ARE THEIR MISCONDUCT OR CLAWBACK PROVISIONS?

Where the board has determined that an employee has acted fraudulently or dishonestly or with gross negligence, the board may deem any unvested or any vested but unexercised rights to have lapsed.

CAN THE BOARD USE ITS DISCRETION TO VARY THE MAXIMUM WEIGHTINGS?

Where it sees fit, the Board may, acting in good faith, use its discretion to vary the maximum weightings, allocate weightings to alternative milestones or impose conditions to awards.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [72 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Note 1 Basis of Preparation

The financial statements cover the consolidated group comprising Image Resources NL (the Company) and its subsidiaries, together referred to as Image or the Group. The Company is a for-profit company limited by shares and incorporated in Australia, whose shares are publicly traded on the Australian Stock Exchange. The financial statements were authorised for issue on 31 March 2026.

These general-purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, Australian Accounting Interpretations, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) and the Corporations Act 2001.

Australian Accounting Standards set out accounting policies that the AASB has concluded would result in a financial report containing relevant and reliable information about transactions, events and conditions. Compliance with Australian Accounting Standards ensures that the financial statements and notes also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). Material accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this financial report are presented below and have been consistently applied unless otherwise stated.

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

Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis and have been prepared based on the assumption that the Group will be able to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

For the year ended 31 December 2025, the Group incurred a net loss of $83 million (after charging exceptional items of $53 million and incurring a deferred tax write-off of $8 million) and had net current liabilities of $17 million. The Group’s current operating mine at Atlas has a relatively short mine life (1.5 years).

Whilst the Atlas mine generated $32 million in operating cashflows for calendar year 2025, the Group is forecasting that additional funding will be required to develop other projects, to fulfill existing mine rehabilitation obligations and, potentially, to meet current debt obligations.

These conditions, along with other matters described above, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Directors have undertaken a detailed assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. This assessment included reviewing forecast cash flows for a minimum of 12 months including forecast revenue, operating and capital costs, and potential adjustments for discretionary expenditure on projects where appropriate and necessary. The Directors also considered access to additional funding, potential to renegotiate or extend existing loan facilities, potential asset sales and potential capital raising plans including the likelihood of shareholder support (including support from major shareholders).

Based on this assessment, the Directors believe that it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Should the Group be unsuccessful in achieving the forecast cashflows or sufficient additional funding is not available, there is a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore it may be unable to realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The financial statements do not include any adjustments that would be necessary if the Company were unable to continue as a going concern.”

Foreign Currency Translation

Both the functional and presentation currency of the Company is in Australian Dollars.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates ruling at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rate of exchange at balance date. All translation differences relating to transactions and balances denominated in foreign currency are taken to the Statement of Profit and Loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [72 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate as at the date of the initial transaction. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date when the fair value was determined.

Critical Accounting Estimates, Assumptions and Judgements

The Group makes estimates and assumptions concerning the future in applying its accounting policies. The resulting accounting estimates will, by definition, seldom equal the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are found in the following notes:

Income Tax Note 6 Property, Plant and Equipment Note 10 Provisions Note 13

Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, with revisions recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised, and future periods affected.

Rounding of amounts

All amounts in the financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, except as indicated, in accordance with the ASIC Corporations Instrument 2016/191.

Other Accounting Policies

Significant and other accounting policies that summarise the measurement basis used and are relevant to an understanding of the financial statements are provided throughout the notes to the financial statements or at note 26

Note 2 Operating Segments

Segment Information

Identification of reportable segments

The Group has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group is a minerals sands production and exploration Group. Currently all the Group’s mineral sands tenements and resources are located in Western Australia.

Revenue and assets by geographical region

The Group's revenue is derived from sources and assets located wholly within Australia. All heavy mineral concentrate revenue is derived by sales to southern China.

Major customers

The Group currently provides products to two customers under life of mine offtake agreements with each customer entitled to purchase approximately 50% of HMC produced at Atlas.

Financial information

Reportable items required to be disclosed in this note are consistent with the information disclosed in the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Financial Position and are not duplicated here.

Accounting Policy

Operating segments are reported in a manner that is consistent with the internal reporting to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), which has been identified by the Group as the Managing Director and other members of the Board of Directors.

Note 3 Revenue and Expenses (Cont’d)

Accounting Policy

Revenue Recognition

The Group recognises revenue as follows:

Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is recognised at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group is expected to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. For each contract with a customer, the Group: identifies the contract with a customer; identifies the performance obligations in the contract; determines the transaction price which takes into account estimates of variable consideration and the time value of money; allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations on the basis of the relative stand-alone selling price of each distinct good or service to be delivered; and recognises revenue when or as each performance obligation is satisfied in a manner that depicts the transfer to the customer of the goods or services promised.

Variable consideration within the transaction price, if any, reflects concessions provided to the customer such as discounts, rebates and refunds, any potential bonuses receivable from the customer and any other contingent events. Such estimates are determined using either the 'expected value' or 'most likely amount' method. The measurement of variable consideration is subject to a constraining principle whereby revenue will only be recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised will not occur. The measurement constraint continues until the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. Amounts received that are subject to the constraining principle are initially recognised as deferred revenue in the form of a separate refund liability.

Sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised at the point in time when the customer obtains control of the goods, which is generally at the time of delivery. For the sale of our HMC product revenue is recognised on completion of the loading of the product onto a vessel.

Rendering of services

Revenue from a contract to provide services is recognised over time as the services are rendered based on either a fixed price or an hourly rate.

Interest

Interest revenue is recognised as interest accrues using the effective interest method. This is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset and allocating the interest income over the relevant period using the effective interest rate, which is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset to the net carrying amount of the financial asset.

Other revenue

Other revenue is recognised when it is received or when the right to receive payment is established.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

At year’s end Image identified indicators including commodities price weakness and to a lesser extent a strengthening of the AUD against the USD, and their impact on forecast cashflows from its Atlas operations, combined with future flow-on impact to future development opportunities. These indicators triggered consideration of the recoverability of the deferred tax asset.

Due to these circumstances, it was not inherently certain that the deferred tax asset would be used against future income. The balance of the deferred tax asset was written off.

Deferred tax losses at 31 December 2025 that may be used against future taxable income amounted to 41,046,333.

Accounting Policy

The income tax expense for the year comprises current income tax expense and deferred tax expense.

Current income tax expense charged to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income is the tax payable on taxable income calculated using applicable income tax rates enacted, or substantially enacted, as at reporting date. Current tax liabilities and assets are therefore measured at the amounts expected to be paid to or recovered from the relevant taxation authority.

Deferred income tax expense reflects movements in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability balances during the year as well as unused tax losses, if any in fact are brought to account.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are ascertained based on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets also result where amounts have been fully expensed but future tax deductions are available. 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 assets and liabilities are calculated at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at reporting date. Their measurement also reflects the manner in which management expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of the related asset or liability.

Deferred tax assets relating to temporary differences and unused tax losses are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the benefits of the deferred tax asset can be utilised.

Current tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists and it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where a legally enforceable right of set-off exists, the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where it is intended that net settlement or simultaneous realisation and settlement of the respective asset and liability will occur in future periods in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.

Key Estimate - Recovery of Deferred Tax Assets or Liabilities

Judgement is required in determining whether deferred tax assets or liabilities are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Deferred tax assets or liabilities, including those arising from unutilised tax losses, require management to assess the likelihood that the Group will generate taxable earnings in future periods, in order to utilise recognised deferred tax assets or liabilities. Estimates of future taxable income are based on forecast cash flows from operations and the application of existing tax laws. To the extent that future cash flows and taxable income differ significantly from estimates, the ability of the Group to realise net deferred tax assets or liabilities could be impacted. Additionally, future changes in tax laws could limit the ability of the Group to obtain tax deductions in future periods.

The Group has unrecognised deferred tax assets or liabilities arising from tax losses and other temporary differences. The ability of the Group to utilise its tax losses is subject to meeting the relevant statutory tests.

The income tax expense has been estimated and calculated based on management’s best knowledge of current income tax legislation. There may be differences with the treatment of individual jurisdiction provisions, but these are not expected to have any material impact on the amounts as reported.

Property, plant and equipment include construction and development costs for the Atlas heavy mineral sands mine. Mine development expenditure represents the cost incurred in preparing mines for commissioning and production, other attributable costs incurred before production commences and mine closure and rehabilitation costs.

Land represents farm lots at Boonanarring and Atlas which the Group has acquired for future operations. There are two Boonanarring farms (3 farm lots) for which there are offer and acceptance contracts for sale, their purchase value has been transferred to assets classified as held for sale.

The calculation of the plant and equipment depreciation assumes that the plant and equipment will have a market value of $12M once the processing of all Atlas mined ore has been completed.

Exploration expenditure associated with the acquisition of tenements and expenditure incurred on those tenements is capitalised if it is considered that the expenditure incurred will be recouped through the successful development and exploitation of the area of interest.

Impairment of PPE

At year’s end Image identified impairment indicators including commodities price weakness and to a lesser extent a strengthening of the AUD against the USD, and their impact on forecast cashflows from its Atlas operations, combined with future flow-on impact to future development opportunities. These indicators triggered impairment testing of Images assets.

An impairment of $53 million was recognised against Atlas operation development costs, specific assets and some minor residual values of equipment from our previous mining operation at Boonanarring. This was partially offset by the reversal of a previous impairment of $2.23 million.

Leases

The Group has lease contracts for motor vehicles and office equipment used in its operations. The leases have lease terms between 3 and 5 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. The right of use assets is included in Plant and Equipment above as their values are too immaterial to state separately.

Recognition and Measurement of Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment is stated at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and costs incurred in bringing the asset into use.

Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.

Mine development costs are capitalised to property, plant and equipment only once a decision to mine is made and the development is fully funded. Mine development expenditure represents the cost incurred in preparing mines for commissioning and production, and also includes other attributable costs incurred before production commences. These costs are capitalised to the extent they are expected to be recouped through successful exploitation of the related mining project. Once production commences, these costs are amortised over the estimated economic life of the mine on a units of production basis. Mine development costs are written off if the mine property is abandoned. Development costs incurred to maintain production are expensed as incurred against the related production.

At each reporting date, the entity assesses whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. Where an indicator of impairment exists, the entity makes a formal assessment of recoverable amount. Where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. Recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less costs of disposal and value in use.

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on a straight-line or units of production basis on all plant and equipment commencing from the time the asset is held ready for use. Major depreciation periods are:

Plant and equipment – 1 to 5 years
Motor vehicles – 3 to 5 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognised is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset) is included in the income statement when the asset is derecognised.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed at each reporting period and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

Right of Use Assets

As a lessee, the Group recognises a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying asset and a corresponding lease liability, on the statement of financial position, for leases (other than short term and low value lease). The right-of-use asset is amortised on a straight-line basis over its lease term.

The Group recognises the right-of-use asset and the lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost (at the present value of future lease payments), and subsequently at cost less accumulated depreciation, any impairment losses and adjustments for remeasurement of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments expected to be paid over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if the rate cannot be readily determined, then the Groups’ incremental borrowing rate or, where not available, a market rate alternative. The lease liability is further remeasured if the estimated future lease payments change.

Key Estimate - Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment and Mine Development Expenditure

Non-current assets are assessed for impairment when there is an indication that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. The recoverable amount of each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) is determined as the higher of value-in-use and fair value less costs of disposal estimated on the basis of discounted present value of the future cash flows (a level 3 fair value estimation method).

The estimates of discounted future cash flows for each CGU are based on significant assumptions including:

estimates of the quantities of mineral reserves and ore resources for which there is a high degree of confidence of economic extraction and the timing of access to these reserves and ore resources;
future production levels and the ability to sell that production;
future product prices based on the Group’s assessment of forecast short and long-term prices for each of the key products using external forecasts;
forecast exchange rates for the Australian dollar compared to the US dollar;
future cash costs of production, sustaining capital expenditure, rehabilitation and mine closure;
the asset specific discount rate applicable to the CGU.

Determination of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves

The determination of reserves impacts the accounting for asset carrying values, depreciation and amortisation rates, and provision for decommissioning and restoration. The information in this report as it relates to ore reserves, mineral resources or mineralisation is reported in accordance with the AusIMM “Australian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves 2012”. The information has been prepared by or under supervision of competent persons as identified by the Code.

There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating mineral resources and ore reserves and assumptions that are valid at the time of estimation may change significantly when new information becomes available. Changes in the forecast prices of commodities, exchange rates, production costs or recovery rates may change the economic status of reserves and may ultimately result in the reserves being restated.

At years end the weighted average cost of the heavy mineral concentrate and other intermediate stockpiles was greater than their net realisable value. The value of these stocks was written down by $787,000. (31 December 2024: Nil)

Accounting Policy

Inventories of heavy mineral concentrate are valued at the lower of weighted average cost and net realisable value (NRV). Cost comprises direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable expenditure including depreciation and amortisation. Inventories of consumable supplies and spare parts to be used in production are valued at weighted average cost.

NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of production and to complete the sale.

Mine closure and rehabilitation obligations

The calculation of the mine closure and rehabilitation provision requires assumptions such as application of environmental legislation, plant closure dates, available technologies, engineering costs and inflation and discount rates. A change in any of the assumptions used may have a material impact on the carrying value of mine closure and rehabilitation obligations. The Company now has rehabilitation obligations for the closed Boonanarring mine site and also the Atlas mine that commenced operations in 2025.

Boonanarring Mine

The mine closure and rehabilitation provision is recorded as a liability at a discounted fair value, assuming a risk-free discount rate equivalent to the 5-year Australian US Government bond rate of 4.76% as at 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024: 4.0%) and an inflation factor of 2.5% (31 December 2024: 3.28%). Although the ultimate amount to be incurred is uncertain, management has, at 31 December 2025, estimated the asset retirement cost of work completed to date with a total undiscounted estimated cash flow of $56,200,000 (31 December 2024: $53,000,000).

Atlas Mine

The mine closure and rehabilitation provision is recorded as a liability at a discounted fair value, assuming a risk-free discount rate equivalent to the 5-year Australian US Government bond rate of 4.76% as at 31 December 2025 and an inflation factor of 2.5%. Although the ultimate amount to be incurred is uncertain, management has, at 31 December 2025, estimated the asset retirement cost of work completed to date with a total undiscounted estimated cash flow of $15,602,000.

Management’s estimate of the underlying asset retirement costs for both mines is independently reviewed by an external consultant on a regular basis for completeness and the estimates were most recently reviewed as at December 2025.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

Accounting Policy

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a legal or constructive obligation, as a result of past events, for which it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will result, and that outflow can be reliably measured.

Mine Closure and Rehabilitation

A mine closure and rehabilitation provision is recognised at the commencement of a mining project and/or construction based on the estimated costs necessary to meet legislative requirements by estimating future costs and discounting these to a present value. The provision is recognised as a liability, separated into current (estimated costs arising within twelve months) and noncurrent components based on the expected timing of these cash flows. A corresponding asset is included property, plant and equipment (mine development assets section), only to the extent that it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the restoration expenditure will flow to the entity and is amortised over the life of the mine.

At each reporting date the mine closure and rehabilitation provision is re-measured in line with changes in discount rates and timing or amounts of the costs to be incurred. Adjustments to the estimated amount and timing of future closure and rehabilitation cash flows are a normal occurrence considering the significant judgements and estimates involved and are dealt with on a prospective basis as they arise.

Employee Benefits

Provision is made for the Group’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.

Key Estimate - Rehabilitation and Site Restoration Provision

Significant estimates and assumptions are made in determining the provision for rehabilitation of the mine as there are numerous factors that will affect the ultimate liability payable. These factors include estimates of the extent and costs of rehabilitation activities, technological changes, regulatory changes, cost increases as compared to inflation rates, and changes in discount rates. These uncertainties may result in future actual expenditure differing from amounts currently provided.

Changes in the liability relating to mine closure and rehabilitation obligations are added to or deducted from the related asset (where it is probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity), other than the unwinding of the discount which is recognised as a financing expense in the Statement of Profit and Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Changes in the asset value have a corresponding adjustment to future amortisation charges.

The mine closure and rehabilitation provision does not include any amounts related to remediation costs associated with unforeseen circumstances.

During the 2024 year the Company entered into a US$20M Offtake Prepayment Facility with a key Chinese offtake partner. The facility was unsecured with a twelve-month term and has since been extended for an additional four months and again subsequently been extended for a further 6 months to 31 December 2026. The Facility funds are provided to support working capital requirements for the development of the 100% owned Atlas mineral sands project. The facility and interest is repaid by the delivery of market priced heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) from Atlas.

The facility was with Shantou Natfort Zirconium and Titanium Co.,Ltd (Natfort). Natfort has been the Company’s key offtake customer for HMC previously produced at the Company’s Boonanarring project. After the execution of the US$20M Offtake Prepayment Facility arrangement that was executed in October 2024, Image and Natfort agreed to allow Natfort to share the provision of the funding under the facility to minimise the risk to Image of a single funding provider. As such, 50% of the $US20M funding obligation under the Prepayment Facility was shifted to Billion Sunny Investment Limited, which is an independent third-

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

party financing entity incorporated in Cayman Islands. The shared participation in the Facility was approved on the basis that it was on the same terms and conditions as the Natfort Prepayment Facility.

US$5M was drawn down during December 2024 and US$15M drawn down in January 2025. A$16.7M is outstanding as at 31 December 2025. Nominally 25% of each shipment of Atlas HMC will be delivered free of charge to repay the Facility. The value of the repayment is based on a market based HMC pricing model operating under the HMC Offtake Agreement. The interest rate charged is 10% compounded monthly.

Leases

Accounting Policy

Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value and revalued where the borrowings are denominated in a foreign currency.

Transaction costs paid on the establishment of loan facilities are capitalised to property, plant and equipment to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down and that the borrowings are directly related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Where there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is expensed to profit and loss. Borrowing costs incurred after the property, plant and equipment is installed and operating are expensed to the profit and loss statement directly.

Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

The fair value of financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximates their carrying values.

Terms and Conditions of Contributed Equity

Ordinary shares have the right to receive dividends as declared and, in the event of winding up of the Company, to participate in the proceeds from the sale of all surplus assets in proportion to the number of shares held, regardless of the amount paid up thereon. At a general meeting every shareholder present in person or by proxy, representative or attorney has: a) on a show of hands, one vote; and b) on a poll, one vote for each fully paid share held.

Accounting Policy

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

Note 17 Tenement Expenditure Commitments

The Group has certain obligations to perform minimum exploration work on the tenements in which it has an interest. These obligations vary from time to time. The aggregate of the prescribed expenditure conditions applicable to the granted tenements for the next twelve months amounts to $1,763,720.

Application for exemption from all or some of the prescribed expenditure conditions will be made from time to time but no assurance is given that any such application will be granted. Nevertheless, the Group is optimistic, given its level of expenditure in the North Perth Basin, that it would likely be granted exemptions, on a project basis, in respect of the prescribed expenditure conditions applicable to many of its North Perth Basin tenements.

If the prescribed expenditure conditions are not met with respect to a tenement, that tenement is liable to forfeiture.

The Group has the ability to diminish its exposure under these conditions through the application of a variety of techniques including applying for exemptions (from the regulatory expenditure obligations), surrendering tenements, relinquishing portions of tenements or entering into farm-out agreements whereby third parties bear the burdens of such obligation in whole or in part.

Note 18 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 such freehold land. Unless it already has secured such rights, there can be no assurance that the Group will secure rights to access those portions of the Tenements encroaching freehold land.

Note 19 Significant Events Subsequent to Reporting Date

On 7 January 2026 the Company announced a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate for the Erayinia/King Gold Project of 2.1 million tonnes @ 2.1gpt containing 139,000 Ounces of gold.

On 19 March 2026 the Company announced extension of the HMC Prepayment Facility term to December 2026 and a 6-month repayment holiday commencing March 2026.

Note 20 Employee Benefits

Employee Share Plan

Under the terms of the Image Share Plan (“ESP”), as approved by shareholders, Image may, in its absolute discretion, make an offer of ordinary fully paid shares in Image to any Eligible Employee, to be funded by a limited recourse interest free loan granted by the Company.

The issue price is determined by the Directors and is not to be less than the volume weighted average price of shares in the 5 trading days prior to the Issue Date. Eligible Employees use the abovementioned loan to acquire the plan shares. The loan amount per share may in certain circumstances be more than the issue price where shareholder approval is required for the issue and the share price is more than the issue price. The shares may be sold 12 months after their issue date generally only if the employee is currently employed.

The following table illustrates the number, weighted average share loan prices (WASLP) and weighted average share issue price (WASIP), and movements in plan shares during the year.

This employee share plan is no longer used to incentivise employees. The incentive rewards plan is now used.

Incentive Awards Plan

The Incentive Award Plan (IAP) was approved by shareholders at the Annual Shareholder General Meeting held on 30 May 2023.

The IAP was adopted to give the Company more flexibility to motivate and incentivise employees, improve employee retention, and to better align incentive awards with longer term shareholder returns. This IAP was adopted as the existing Employee Share Plan (ESP) is limited to the issue of shares.

Under the terms of the IAP, Image may, in its absolute discretion, make an offer of shares, options or performance rights as incentives to Directors of the Company, employees or individual contractors. The Directors may specify the various terms and conditions of the offer.

During the 2025 year 22,340,905 performance rights were issued to key management personnel of the Company in the form of short term and long term incentives. (2024: 26,754,504).

Incentive Awards Plan - Performance Rights Issue

(a) General terms of the Performance Rights Issue

There is no consideration for the issue of the Rights.

One right entitles the holder to one share. The ratio of shares issued may be reduced if a satisfactory performance rating is not attained.

The holder is entitled to convert the rights to shares at the end of a vesting period. Any unvested rights and vested rights not exercised will expire after a defined period. If the employee ceases employment with the Company, all unvested performance rights will lapse except if the Company exercises its discretion.

The performance rights were issued for nil cash consideration. The amount payable upon exercise of each performance right is nil.

(b) Recognised share-based payment expense

The share-based payment expense is allocated over the balance of the vesting period.

NOTE 23 FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

a) Financial Risk Management Policies

The Group’s financial instruments consist of deposits with banks, receivables, available-for-sale financial assets, payables, and borrowings.

Risk management policies are approved and reviewed by the Board.

Specific Financial Risk Exposure and Management

The main risks the Group is exposed to through its financial instruments, are commodity price, interest rate and liquidity risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Exposure to interest rate risk arises on financial assets and financial liabilities recognised at reporting date whereby a future change in interest rates will affect future cash flows or the fair value of fixed rate financial instruments.

Liquidity Risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring forecast cash flows, cash reserves, liquid investments, receivables, financial liabilities, and commitments.

Capital Risk

Management controls the capital of the Group in order to maintain the appropriate working capital position to ensure that the Group can fund its operation, continue as a going concern and continue to provide returns for shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Capital is managed by assessing the Group’s financial risks and adjusting its capital structure in response to changes in these risks and in the market.

Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with financial institutions as well as credit exposures to outstanding receivables.

The Group is not exposed to credit risk through sales of mineral sands product due to a letter of credit being in place prior to a mineral sands shipment leaving port. The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognised financial assets, is the carrying amount, net of any provisions for impairment of those assets, as disclosed in the Statement of Financial Position and notes to the financial statements.

The Group has lodged cash deposits (designated as restricted cash above) totalling $326,004 (2024: $346,004) with the bank as collateral security for office lease property managers for rental guarantees and also security for company credit cards.

The following table provides information regarding the credit risk relating to cash and cash equivalents, term deposits and restricted cash based on Standard & Poors credit ratings:

b) Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

The financial instruments recognised at fair value in the statement of financial position have been analysed and classified using

a fair value hierarchy reflecting the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following levels:

Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1).
Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) (Level 2); and
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3).

Sensitivity Analysis – Interest rate risk

The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to interest rate risk at balance date. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the effect on the financial period results and equity which could result from a change in this risk.

As at balance date, the effect on loss and equity as a result of changes in the interest rate on financial assets, with all other variables remaining constant would be as follows:

		Year to	Year to
		31 Dec	31 Dec
		2025	2024
		($000)	($000)
Change in loss – increase/(decrease):
-	Increase in interest rate by 2%	(160)	(405)
-	Decrease in interest rate by 2%	160	405
Change in equity – increase/(decrease):
-	Increase in interest rate by 2%	160	405
-	Decrease in interest rate by 2%	(160)	(405)

NOTE 25 OTHER ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation expenditure is accounted for differently as follows:

Exploration and evaluation expenditure associated with exploration and evaluation activity including direct costs and an appropriate portion of related overhead expenditure is expensed to the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income as incurred. The effect of this write-off is to decrease the profit incurred from continuing operations as disclosed in the Statement of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income and to decrease the carrying values in the Statement of Financial Position. That the carrying value of mineral assets, as a result of the operation of this policy, is zero does not necessarily reflect the Board’s view as to the market value of that asset.
Exploration expenditure associated with the acquisition of tenement licences may be recognised as an exploration asset if it is considered that the expenditures incurred are expected to be recouped through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest. Additional exploration and evaluation expenditure incurred on these tenement licences acquired is also added to the value of the exploration asset.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed separately for each ‘area of interest’. An ‘area of interest’ is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such a deposit.

Once a development decision is made, all past exploration and expenditure in respect of an area of interest that has been capitalised is transferred to mine properties where it is amortised over the life of the area of interest to which it relates on a unit of production basis. No amortisation is charged during the exploration and evaluation phase.

The application of the above accounting policy requires to make certain estimates and assumptions as to future events and circumstances, in particular, the assessment of whether economic quantities of reserves will be found. Any such estimates and assumptions may change as new information becomes available, which may require adjustments to the carrying value of assets. Capitalised exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed for impairment when an indicator of impairment exists, and capitalised assets are written off where required.

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. Receivables and payables in the Statement of Financial Position 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 Statement of Financial Position.

Cash flows are presented in the statement of cash flows 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.

Investments and other financial assets

Investments and other financial assets are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs are included as part of the initial measurement, except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Such assets are subsequently measured at either amortised cost or fair value depending on their classification. Classification is determined based on both the business model within which such assets are held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset unless, an accounting mismatch is being avoided.

Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. When there is no reasonable expectation of recovering part or all of a financial asset, its carrying value is written off.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets not measured at amortised cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. Typically, such financial assets will be either: (i) held for trading, where they are acquired for the purpose of selling in the short-term with an intention of making a profit, or a derivative; or (ii) designated as such upon initial recognition where permitted. Fair value movements are recognised in profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income include equity investments which the Group intends to hold for the foreseeable future and has irrevocably elected to classify them as such upon initial recognition.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognises a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets which are either measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. The measurement of the loss allowance depends upon the Group’s assessment at the end of each reporting period as to whether the financial instrument's credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, based on reasonable and supportable information that is available, without undue cost or effort to obtain.

Where there has not been a significant increase in exposure to credit risk since initial recognition, a 12-month expected credit loss allowance is estimated. This represents a portion of the asset's lifetime expected credit losses that is attributable to a default event that is possible within the next 12 months. Where a financial asset has become credit impaired or where it is determined that credit risk has increased significantly, the loss allowance is based on the asset's lifetime expected credit losses. The amount of expected credit loss recognised is measured on the basis of the probability weighted present value of anticipated cash shortfalls over the life of the instrument discounted at the original effective interest rate.

For financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the loss allowance is recognised within other comprehensive income. In all other cases, the loss allowance is recognised in profit or loss.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements For the year ended 31 December 2025

==> picture [71 x 48] intentionally omitted <==

Fair Value

Fair value is determined based on closing market prices for all quoted investments. Valuation techniques are applied to determine the fair value for all unlisted securities, including recent arm’s length transactions, reference to similar instruments and option pricing models. The expression “fair value” – and derivatives thereof – wherever used in this report bears the meaning ascribed to that expression by the Australian Accounting Standards Board.

Impairment

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial instrument has been impaired. In the case of available-for-sale financial instruments, a prolonged decline in the value of the instrument is considered to determine whether an impairment has arisen. Impairment losses are recognised in the profit or loss.

De-recognition

Financial assets are derecognised where the contractual rights to receipt of cash flows expires, or the asset is transferred to another party whereby the entity no longer has any significant continuing involvement in the risks and benefits associated with the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised where the related obligations are either discharged, cancelled, or expired. The difference between the carrying value of the financial liability extinguished or transferred to another party and the fair value of consideration paid, including the transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognised in profit or loss.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

New Accounting Standards for Application in Future Years

There are a number of new Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are not yet mandatorily applicable to the Group and have not been applied in preparing these financial statements. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early.

These standards are not expected to have a material impact on the Group in the current or future period until mandatory adoption.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Comparative Figures

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

Independent Audit Report to the members of Image Resources NL

Report on the Audit of the Financial Report

Opinion

We have audited the financial report of Image Resources NL (“the Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2025, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies, the consolidated entity disclosure statement and the directors' declaration.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial report of the Group is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

(i) giving a true and fair view of the Group's financial position as at 31 December 2025 and of its financial performance for the year then ended; and
(ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Regulations 2001 .

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described as in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Emphasis of Matter – Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the financial report, which describes the matters relating to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, including its dependence on the successful development of the Atlas project, continued access to funding and the generation of sufficient future cash flows from operations. These conditions indicate the existence of a material uncertainty that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern.

Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the financial report of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial report as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

Refer to Note 13

Provision for Rehabilitation Refer to Note 13
KeyAudit Matter	How our audit addressed the keyaudit matter
As at 31 December 2025, the Group has a provision of $64.80 million relating to the estimated cost of rehabilitation, decommissioning and restoration relating to areas disturbed during operation in Boonanarring and Atlas mines but not yet rehabilitated. The provision is based upon current cost estimates and has been determined on a discounted basis with reference to current legal requirements and technology. At each reporting date the rehabilitation liability is reviewed and re-measured in line with changes in observable assumptions, timing and the latest estimates of the costs to be incurred based on area of disturbance at reporting date. This area is a key audit matter as the determination of the restoration liability involves use of assumptions and significant management judgement.	Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following:  Obtaining and reviewing independent expert reports and supporting documentation for rehabilitation cost estimates and timing assumptions.  Assessing the competence, scope and objectivity of the Group’s external experts used in determination of the provisions estimate.  Testing the accuracy of historical restoration and rehabilitation provisions by comparing actual expenditure.  Discussing with management the status and timing of rehabilitation activities, including any delays and their financial impact.  Assessing the planned timing of environmental restoration and rehabilitation provision through comparison to mine plans and reserves.  Analyzed key assumptions such as inflation and discount ratesagainst market data.  Evaluating the completeness of the provisions estimate to the Group’s analysis of each operating location to identify where disturbance requires rehabilitation or demobilisation and our understanding of the Group’s operations.

KeyAudit Matter	How our audit addressed the keyaudit matter
During the year ended 31 December 2025, the Company issued a total of 27,113,244 performance rights to key management personnel as part of both short-term and long- term incentive plans. These equity-settled performance rights are recognised in accordance with the Company’s share-based payment policy, with fair value determined at the grant date using an appropriate valuation pricing model. The valuation of these performance rights is complex and involves significant judgement, particularly with regard to the assumptions used in the valuation model, including expected volatility, risk-free interest rate, and expected life of the rights. Given the materiality of the balances involved and the judgement required in determining the appropriate assumptions, the recognition and	Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the following:  Reviewed the Group’s share-based payment policies to assess compliance with the applicable accounting standards.  Evaluated the assumptions used in the valuation models (such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rates, and expected life of the options) and compared these to historical data, industry benchmarks, and external sources.  Assessed the methodology used to estimate the fair value of share-based payments and verified that the calculations were consistent with the requirements of the relevant accounting standards.  Tested the accuracy of share-based payment expense recognized in the financial statements by examining the grant dates, vesting conditions, and the actual number of options granted.

How our audit addressed the keyaudit matter

At 31 December 2025, the Group has significant
exploration and evaluation expenditure of $48.01
million (2024 46.20m) which has been capitalised.
As the carrying value of exploration and evaluation
expenditures represents a significant asset of the
Group, we considered it necessary to assess
whether facts and circumstances existed to
suggest that the carrying amount of this asset may
exceed its recoverable amount.
The
Group
capitalises
exploration
and
evaluation expenditure in line with AASB 6
Exploration for and Evaluation of Mineral
Resources. The assessment of each asset’s
future viability requires significant judgement.
There is a risk that amounts may continue to
be capitalised even though they no longer
meet the recognition criteria of AASB 6.

Our audit work included, but was not restricted to, the
following:
 We obtained evidence that the Group has valid rights to
explore in the areas represented by the capitalised
exploration and evaluation expenditures by obtaining valid
contracts giving the Group rights to explore, for a sample
of capitalised exploration costs.
 We enquired with management and reviewed budgets to
ensure that substantive expenditure on further exploration
for and evaluation of the mineral resources in the Group’s
area of interest were planned.
 We enquired with management, reviewed announcements
made and reviewed minutes of directors’ meetings to
ensure that the company had not decided to discontinue
activities in any of its areas of interest; and
 We enquired with management to ensure that the Group
had not decided to proceed with development of a specific
area of interest, yet the carrying amount of the exploration
and evaluation asset was unlikely to be recovered in full
from successful development or sale.

Reviewed supporting documentation for residual value estimates of plant and equipment (~$12.0M) and assessed consistency with independent valuation reports.
Considered the impact of mining activities and rehabilitation status on assets value, and assessed whether appropriate adjustments were made.
Reviewed adequacy of the related disclosures in the financial statements.

Other Information

The directors are responsible for the other information. The other information obtained at the date of this auditor's report is included in the annual report but does not include the financial report and our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial report does not cover the other information and accordingly we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial report, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial report or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed on the other information obtained prior to the date of this auditor's report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of Directors for the Financial Report

The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial report, the directors are responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Report

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial report as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the financial report.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Australian Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

Independent Auditor’s Report

==> picture [72 x 49] intentionally omitted <==

Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the directors.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors’ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial report or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial report, including the disclosures, and whether the financial report represents the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with the directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the directors with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial report of the current year and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
