IMAGE RESOURCES CONFIRMS EXISTENCE OF HIGH-GRADE CORE IN EASTERN STRAND AT BOONANARRING
_________________
Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) (“Image” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that close-spaced infill drilling has confirmed the existence of a very high-grade core within the eastern strand of its 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80 km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia.
This confirmation of the high-grade core in the eastern strand comes from initial assay results for drilling in Block C at Boonanarring (current mining block). These results are only part of a larger drilling program designed to re-assess the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve at Boonanarring, as announced to the ASX on 14 March 2019 (Targeting Ore Reserve Upgrade at Boonanarring in Response to Higher than Expected Ore Grades). The full drilling program will include close-spaced, infill drilling to delineate the full extent of the high-grade core in the eastern strand across Blocks A, B, C and D.
The close-spaced infill drilling program commenced on 2 April 2019 and has continued through to the end of June, with a total of 14,750m (68%) completed out of a total of 21,600m of planned air-core (AC) drilling. All of drilling in Block C has been completed and 55% of the assays have been received and are summarised in this report.
These initial results from Block C close-spaced (5m) infill drilling are very positive and appear to corroborate mining and processing results from the 2019 March Quarter indicating the actual heavy mineral (HM) ore grade was substantially higher than estimated in the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve. These results also support the Company’s belief that the highgrade core was not adequately delineated by the routine 15-20m drill hole spacings used for the determination of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve, and that the Ore Reserve may have been understated.
Results from this initial set of assays is presented by means of five cross-sections showing assay results from the initial Ore Reserve drilling and the updated assay results from the infill drilling. The locations of the five cross-sections are shown in Figure 1 which is a gradethickness map generated from the original Ore Reserve drilling and which shows the presence of a high-grade core running largely the full length of the eastern strand of the Boonanarring deposit.
These cross-section comparisons (Figures 2-6) showing HM grades before and after the infill drilling, clearly show the presence of substantial high and very high-grade core material that was not identified in the initial Ore Reserve drilling results. Field assays (HM panning) indicate similar comparisons in other sections of the deposit, however laboratory assays are required to confirm these results. These initial results should not be considered to be representative of results for the balance of the deposit as other parts of the deposit could be materially different, and these initial results should not be used to imply any potential quantitative change to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve.

Table 1 shows 168 intersections greater than 10%HM from previous drilling in Block C and used for the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve and Table 2 shows an additional 52 intersections greater than 10%HM from the current close-spaced infill drilling program.
These initial results returned numerous very high-grade laboratory assays from Block C. Out of 965 assays received to date, 158 assays are >10% HM including 41 >30% HM, 31 >40% HM, 24 >50% HM, 12 >60% HM, 8 >70% HM and 4 >80% HM.

Boonanarring Project Background Information
The Boonanarring Project is arguably one of the highest heavy mineral grades, zircon-rich, mineral sands projects in Australia. Project funding was finalised and construction commenced in April-May 2018. Construction was completed on-time and on-budget in six months followed by successful commissioning of the processing plant in October-November 2018. Production commenced 1 December 2018 and HMC production ramped-up to fullscale in only the second month of operation (January 2019). First revenue was received in January 2019 and overall performance for Q1 exceeded the budget in all major categories resulting in higher revenue and significantly lower costs than budgeted. Q1 results demonstrated profitability and plotted a firm path to positive cashflow and the goal of sustainable profitability.

| Sampling techniques |
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
• All drill holes reported in this release are vertically oriented, reverse-circulation air-core (RCAC) drill holes. |
| Drilling techniques | • Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
• All RCAC drill holes are drilled vertically using an NQ-sized (63.5 mm diameter) drill bit. • Water injection is used to convert the sample to a slurry so it can be incrementally sampled by a rotary splitter. |

• At the drill site, Image’s geologist estimates sample recovery qualitatively (as good, moderate or poor) for each 1 m down hole sampling interval. Specifically, the supervising geologist visually estimates the volume recovered to sample and reject bags based on prior experience as to what constitutes good recovery. • Image found that of the 158 samples that have a grade ≥ 10% HM that are the subject of this release, all 158 (100%) have good recovery. |

Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• Image’s supervising geologist logs the sample reject material at the rig and pans a small sub sample of the reject, to visually estimate the proportions of sands, heavy mineral sands, ‘slimes’ (clays), and oversize (rock chips) in each sample, in a semi-quantitative manner. • The geologist also logs colour, grainsize, an estimate of induration (a hardness estimate) and sample ‘washability’ (ease of separation of slimes from sands by manual attrition). • To preclude data entry and transcription errors, the logging data is captured into a digital data logger at the rig, which contains pre-set logging codes. No photographs of samples are taken. • The digital logs are downloaded daily and emailed to Image’s head office for data security and compilation into the main database server. • Samples visually estimated by the geologist to contain more than 0.5% HM (by weight) are despatched for analysis along with the 1 m intervals above and below the mineralised interval. • The level and detail of logging is of sufficient quality to support any potential future Mineral Resource Estimates. • All (100%) of the drilling is logged. • Geotechnical logging is not possible for the style of drilling used, however the logging is acceptable for metallurgical sample selection if required. |

• All drilling samples are collected over 1 m down hole intervals, with sample lengths determined by 1 m marks on the rig mast. • For exploration style drilling, two (replicate) 1/8 mass splits (each1.25 kg) are collected from the rotary splitter into two pre-numbered calico bags for each 1 m down hole interval. A selection of the replicate samples are later collected and analysed to quantify field sampling precision, or as samples contributing to potential future metallurgical composites. • Image considers the nature, quality and size of the sub samples collected are consistent with best industry practices of mineral sands explorers in the Perth Basin region. |

| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
• The laboratory despatch samples are prepared by Western Geolabs (in Bellevue Western Australia) by drying the sample for 5 to 8 hrs in an oven at 110C. The dry weight is recorded using a laboratory digital scale. • The dried sample is then crushed (using manual pummelling) until all clay and sand materials in the sample pass through a 3.3 mm screen. In samples where (>3.3 mm) rock fragments are found after pummelling and screening, the mass of the fragments is recorded, and the material discarded. • The <3.3 mm sample is then hand mixed prior to splitting through a single tier riffle splitter (16 chutes each with 8 mm aperture), as many times as required to prepare a 100 g ± 5 g sub sample. The actual mass retained is recorded using a laboratory digital scale. • The riffle splitter sub sample is then wetted, undergoes further manual attrition to break up clays, before the <63m clays (slimes) are washed from the sample (de-sliming) using a jet wash and 63m screen. • The <63m slimes (clays) are discarded and the >63m sub sample is placed in a metal tray and oven dried. When dry, the >63m sub sample is put through a 1 mm sieve and the mass of the screen oversize (>1 mm) is recorded on a digital balance. The oversize is then discarded. • The de-slimed sand fraction (>63m & < 1mm) sub sample is then weighed on a digital scale before being separated into two fractions by mixing the sample in a glass separation funnel with a heavy liquid (TBE) of density 2.95 g/cm3. • Once sufficient time has passed to allow the sample to separate and settle, the <2.95 g/cm3, ‘floats’ fraction is collected and discarded. • The <2.95 g/cm3, ‘sinks’ fraction is collected from the funnel into a filter paper, then washed with acetone to remove the TBE. The sinks are then dried and the mass recorded on a digital scale. |

The method is also consistent with best industry practices employed by mineral sands explorers in the Perth Basin region. • For quality control the laboratory: • Uses certified masses to verify daily the accuracy of all laboratory mass scales. • Prepares a replicate sample at a frequency of 2 for every 25 routine samples analysed. • Uses a hydrometer to test daily the density of the TBE used for HM separation • For each laboratory despatch (ranging from150 to350 samples) Image includes blind standard reference samples (SRMs) that contain known (to Image) concentrations of heavy and valuable heavy minerals. Image inserts the SRMs, at a frequency of 1 in 30 sample submitted to the laboratory for resource style drilling. Image submitted 3 SRM’s for the resource style drilling subject to this release. • Image selected and submitted for analysis 7 field-replicate samples from field-sample replicates collected to quantify field sampling precision. • Blanks samples for testing of cross contamination are not deemed necessary for the style of mineralisation under consideration. |

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
• The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. • The use of twinned holes. • Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
• The logging of significant intersections reported in this release has been verified by alternative company personnel. • No twin holes have been drilled in the current programme. • Logging is captured at the rig using a data recorder, downloaded daily and emailed to head office data services for incorporation into the main database. • Assay results from the laboratory are received by email in standard spreadsheet templates and merged with logging results in-house. • There are no adjustments to original laboratory results. |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
• The drill hole collar locations are captured by one of Image’s rig team following the completion of each drill hole, using a handheld GPS with nominal accuracy of±15 m. Elevations have also been determined with hand-held GPS and this adjusted post drilling using DEM data. More accurate locations will be determined in future by a registered surveyor using DGPS equipment where necessary. • The grid system for reporting results is the MGA Zone 50 projection and the GDA94 elevation datum. • No topographic control has been considered at this time. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
• The drill holes reported in this release are located at several prospects on varied spaced drill lines (between 50 m and 100 m) along the strike of mineralised strands. • No sample compositing has been applied – all results are from 1 m long down hole sample intervals. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
• All drill holes are vertical and intersect sub-horizontal strata. As such Image considers that it is highly unlikely that the orientation of drilling relative to the well understood structure of minerals sands strands, would result in a sampling bias. |
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
• All samples are collected from site by Image’s staff as soon as practicable once drilling is completed and then delivered to Image’s locked storage sheds. • Image’s staff also deliver samples to the laboratory and collect heavy mineral floats from the laboratory, which are also stored in Images locked storage. • Image considers there is negligible risk of deliberate or accidental contamination of samples. Occasional sample mix-ups are usually corrected using Images checking and quality control procedures. |
| Audits or reviews | • The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
• The results and logging have been reviewed internally by Images senior exploration personnel including checking of masses despatched and delivered, checking of SRM results, and verification logging of significant intercepts. |

The southern 1km of the Boonanarring deposit was discovered by Iluka, who drilled out this area to a Measured Resource status. The work is well documented in reports from Iluka, prior Mineral Resource estimators McDonald Speijers (2005) and Widenbar and Associates (2013), and Harlequin Consulting Pty Ltd (2014 and 2015). |
| Geology | • | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Boonanarring is hosted in the Perth Basin, in the Pleistocene Yoganup Formation on the eastern margin of the Swan Coastal Plain. • The Yoganup Formation is a buried pro-graded shoreline deposit, with dunes, beach ridge and deltaic facies. This formation lies unconformably over the Lower Cretaceous Leederville Formation and is overlain by the Pleistocene Guildford Formation and the Quaternary Bassendean Sand. • The Yoganup Formation consists of unconsolidated poorly sorted sands and gravels, with local interstitial clay and heavy minerals that occur sporadically along the Gingin Scarp, which is interpreted to be an ancient shoreline that was stable during a period of marine regression. • Boonanarringhastwo majorstrandlinesof heavy |

| minerals, which are interpreted to have been deposited during the Pleistocene in a notch in the local basement rock that may represent an ancient sea cliff. Lower grade mineralisation is present in the sands overlying the higher-grade strandlines. • The basement to the strandline mineralisation is identified by the increased slimes content of the Leederville Formation or at the base of the Yoganup Formation. • Mineralisation within this has high zircon concentrations. |

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
• Refer to table and Figures in the text of this release. |
| Data aggregation methods |
• • • |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low- grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
