NEW CHANNEL, NEW HIGH-GRADE STRAND, NEW RESOURCE EXTENSIONS AT COOL JARI OO www.imageres.com.au

Following the grant of a new tenement (E70/2898) within the southern part of the Cooljarloo project, a programme of reconnaissance drilling was carried out within Vacant Crown Land along existing access lines in order to test a number of targets generated by previous drilling to the north within adjacent tenement E70/2636 and from targets generated by detailed cesium vapour ground magnetic mapping surveys.

Even though only limited drilling lines were completed, a new impressive channel has been identified which is estimated to be more than 1.1km in length and up to 74m in thickness and is interpreted to be the southern extension of channel B (ASX release 30 November 2006). Secondly, a new near surface high-grade strand which is over 2.8km in length was discovered with a best intersection of $6m$ $@$ 21.7% heavy mineral (HM) from 2 $m$ depth. Thirdly, the Middle Strand resource, which was previously thought to occur south of E70/2898 within the Tiwest JV area, extends into the Cooliarloo project area for 1.1km with results of up to 6m @ 11.8%HM from 14m. This may link to the 28000 Strand shallow. high-grade resource which is currently some 3km in length (refer to attached map). Fourthly, confirmatory high-grade intersections occur within the 35 AHD Strand resource in the western part of $E70/2898$ with grades up to 2m $@$ 50.0%HM from 10m. The highlights of the recent programme are summarised as follows:

HM grades are visual estimates pending receipt of laboratory results.

At this stage 10.8km of near surface high-grade strands have been identified by drilling at Cooliarloo and some 4.5km at Cooliarloo North. A further 45km of high amplitude magnetic targets remain to be tested at these projects.

At least 9km of thick channel targets have been defined by drilling to date and at least a further 30km of targets remain untested.

All the grades announced in this ASX report reflect visual estimates from panning in the field which give a good guide for the HM grade prior to receiving laboratory results. Results from the laboratory are expected shortly for both Cooliarloo and Cooliarloo North. Further ASX releases together with cross sections of the recent drilling will be forthcoming when these laboratory results are received.
