COOLJARLOO NORTH (Image 70%)
During the quarter 1205 samples were processed from Target 1, now called Hyperion, with the laboratory results summarised in Figure 1 and Table 1. The drilling confirmed the continuity of shallow high-grade mineralisation over a 4.5km length. The Hyperion strand averages 40m-60m in width, ranging up to 120m wide with an average thickness of 5m and overburden of 4m. Resource estimation of the Hyperion strand is underway, based on a drill hole density of 20m x 100m and is expected to be completed in November.

1 or 2m samples, HM grade determined by TBE heavy liquid separation
Initial drilling on Target 7 in the SW part of the tenement has returned encouraging results as summarised in Table 3 warranting further drilling. Further interpretation of ground magnetics has indicated a further six targets, adding another 12km to the cumulative length of magnetic targets bringing the total length of magnetic targets to be drilled to more than 20km.

COOLJARLOO (Image 70%)
As reported in the June quarterly report, concentrates from 27 composite samples have been generated by wet tabling and are currently being processed by heavy liquid separation, high intensity magnetic separation, electrostatic separation and by XRF analysis of the resulting fractions. The results of this testwork will better define the markets for which these products are suited and provide firmer estimates of product pricing.
An additional 300 samples from the channel mineralisation are being processed to better define boundaries for the purposes of resource estimation. A botanical survey was completed over an area of Vacant Crown Land encompassing part of the 35AHD strand as part of the environmental permitting process to provide drilling access to this area. Some 42km of magnetic targets remain to be drill tested at Cooljarloo following completion of landowner access agreements and environmental permitting.

SERPENTINE LAKES, EUCLA BASIN (Image 100%)
Diatreme Resources has reported further drilling results from its zircon-rich Cyclone discovery in the Eucla Basin, indicating that two or possibly three mineralised strands extend southeast into Image’s Serpentine Lakes tenement. The Cyclone mineralisation is reported to range from 4m to 35m in thickness with zircon-rich zones up to 40% of the heavy mineral content, and low slime content of 3%. These favourable attributes augur well for Image’s Serpentine Lakes project where the paleoshoreline hosting this mineralisation is interpreted to broaden and extend into the Image tenement for some 28km.
As recently reported (ASX release 17 October 2007), Image has reached agreement with Diatreme Resources to conduct a collaborative programme of ground magnetic and radiometric surveys over part of the Cyclone discovery. The surveys will determine whether these techniques are effective in detecting the mineralisation on Image’s tenement boundary, and if so, map the extent of the mineralisation on the boundary to facilitate planning of ground magnetic surveys and drilling within the Image tenement. If successful, the results will allow Image to focus its exploration programme on potentially high-grade targets identified by the geophysical surveys.
A land access agreement between Image and the Pila Nguru native title holders is anticipated to be finalised in November, paving the way for the grant of the tenement soon thereafter.
EMU LAKE (Image 33⅓%)
As previously announced (ASX release 14 August 2007), the minority party in the Emu Lake joint venture agreed to sell its 10% interest to the remaining joint venturers, increasing Image’s interest to 33⅓%. Under the revised terms of the joint venture Image’s interest will be free carried until Jubilee Mines NL subsidiary Sir Samuel Mines NL sole funds a further $3.25 million at the rate of at least $1 million per year or, failing that, withdraws. The consideration for the sale was $750,000 with Image’s share of $250,000 paid as $100,000 cash plus the balance in Image shares, plus an increase in the Vendor’s royalty to 1.75%. Under the new terms of the joint venture, Image may assign its interest in the Emu Lake project to a subsidiary within the next 12 months for the purpose of an ASX listing.
The Emu Lake nickel project is situated 70 km north east of Kalgoorlie and about 30km east of the high-grade Silver Swan nickel mine. Drilling has identified significant nickel sulphide mineralisation over a strike length of more than 300m on an ultramafic contact and open at depth. To date, ten high-grade drill intersections
7
have been made at grades of between 3% -10% Ni with best intersections of 2m @ 6.2% Ni, 1.8% Cu and 2.2g/t PGE (platinum group elements) from 336.0m and 2m @ 2.0% Ni, 1.0% Cu and 4.2g/t PGE from 343.5m in drill hole ELD15. The revised terms of the joint venture are anticipated to result in a reinvigorated drilling programme to test for depth extensions to the high-grade contact mineralisation typical of komatiite-hosted nickel deposits.
Jubilee Mines has advised that it is planned to carry out the first two stages (comprising 9 drill holes) of a three-stage, 13-hole diamond drilling programme in the next six months as shown in Figure 2. Significantly, the nickel sulphide drill intersections obtained to date are interpreted to be hosted by flanking facies ultramafic and not the more prospective channel facies where thicker nickel sulphide accumulations can be expected to occur. The proposed drilling programme will test for down-plunge extensions of the massive sulphide mineralisation intersected on the main contact, within channel facies ultramafics.

KAMBALDA WEST (Image 100%, diluting)
Mincor Resources has advised that it has commissioned an 800 line-km VTEM (Versatile Time Domain Electro Magnetic) survey over eight target areas in the joint venture tenements situated south of Nepean and west of Kambalda. VTEM is a helicopter-borne EM system developed by Geotech Ltd which delivers improved resolution and depth of investigation for the detection of sub surface conductors. The airborne survey will target ultramafic sequences interpreted from aeromagnetics and is anticipated to commence in December.
WOODLINE (Image 100%, diluting)
The Woodline joint venture is comprised of two exploration licences situated on the regional Tropicana-Beachcomber structural trend, a current focus of gold exploration activity following the significant Tropicana gold discovery. Sipa Resources and

Newmont have outlined three gold anomalous areas within the northern exploration licence (E28/1400) as follows:
The Zeno prospect comprises a 7km N-S zone of weakly anomalous gold in historical drilling within which intersections of 2m at 5.3g/t Au from 50m and 2m at 1.2g/t Au from 42m have been reported. The Sapho prospect is a 3km x 1km calcrete anomaly (peak values 60ppb Au) associated with silicified, pyritic basalts in an area of no previous drilling. The Epicuris prospect is a 2km x 1km multi-element calcrete anomaly (peak values 33ppb Au and 800ppm As) associated with brecciated and pyritic metasediments.
Within the southern exploration licence (E28/1496) sampling has identified several gold in calcrete results up to 29ppb Au associated with a magnetic anomaly in an area of thin Tertiary cover. Scout RAB drilling (7 holes) of an EM anomaly has been completed but with results yet to be received. Sipa/Newmont are planning follow-up drilling at the Zeno, Sapho and E28/1496 prospects in the new year together with further geochemical sampling at the Epicuris prospect. Sipa Resources recently announced a significant gold intercept of 29m at 2.1g/t Au from 12m in RAB/aircore drilling at its Socrates prospect 2km to the east of E28/1496, adding to the prospectivity of this area.
CORPORATE
EMU NICKEL IPO
At a general meeting of shareholders held in West Perth on 9 October 2007 shareholders unanimously approved a resolution to farm out a package of nickel projects to a new company to be known as Emu Nickel NL (ASX release 9 October 2007).
It is proposed that shareholders of Image as at a record date (yet to be announced) will be issued with free shares in Emu Nickel on a 1 for 2 basis (i.e. one share in Emu Nickel for every two shares held in Image) as a prelude to the expected listing of Emu Nickel on ASX. These shares will constitute all of the ordinary fully paid share capital of Emu Nickel until such time as the Initial Public Offer (IPO) proceeds and shares are issued to applicants pursuant to that offer.
Under the proposed arrangement Emu Nickel will farm-in on a package of 27 exploration licences totalling about 2,507sq km of which 24 licences are granted – see Figure 3. The package includes the Emu Lake JV and Kambalda West JV tenements for which both Jubilee Mines and Mincor Resources respectively have agreed for Image to assign its interest to Emu Nickel for the purposes of an IPO. Under the terms of the farm-in Emu Nickel will:
-
pay Image a promoters fee of 6% of the funds raised by the IPO,
-
be obligated to spend a minimum of $1 million in the first year of the listing
-
spend a minimum of $2 million within two years of listing to earn 80% of Image’s interest in the tenements
-
have the right to increase its interest to 100% of Image’s interest by spending in aggregate $3 million over 3 years and converting Image’s interest to a 1% gross royalty which Emu Nickel may buy out for $200,000
-
retain the right to return individual tenements to Image.
It is envisaged that the farm out of the nickel assets will allow Image to increase its focus on its core heavy mineral projects in the North Perth and Eucla Basins.
