- Relocatable capital equipment to produce HMC already acquired.
Debt Financing - With the assistance of the Company’s finance consultant, PCF Capital, a data room was established in July 2017 to provide information to potential debt providers for the Boonanarring project. The initial focus was on Tier-1 financial institutions. In September 2017 the focus was expanded to Tier-2 non-bank debt providers in an effort to attract a wider range of funding options.
By the end of September, discussions were continuing with two tier-1 financial institutions and October roadshows were being planned with a number of Tier-2 non-bank debt providers. Debt term sheets, likely to be subject to further due diligence, are anticipated by mid-November 2017.
Equity Financing – The Company continued with its marketing efforts through attendance at industry conferences and with road-shows arranged by select brokers, to seek interest from sophisticated and institutional investors in providing equity capital for Boonanarring.
Image commissioned Breakaway Research to conduct independent research on the Company. This research report was published in August 2017 and can be accessed through the Company’s website. The Company has also been advised by two Australian-based brokers that they are conducting independent research on Image and these reports will likely be published during the 4[th] Quarter 2017.
Boonanarring Project Development Progress
The mining contractor tendering process was advanced during the quarter, resulting in the selection of Piacentini and Son (Piacentini) as the preferred contractor. Discussions and negotiations will continue with Piacentini with the aim of advancing a mining contract that is ready for execution following a Decision to Mine currently scheduled to occur before the end of December 2017.
Three additional approvals required for the development of the Boonanarring project were received in August 2017. This leaves only one remaining approval being the ‘Works Approval’ which is anticipated to be received in the coming weeks.

Rising Zircon Prices
On 12 October 2017, the Company announced that effective 1 October, the market price for zircon increased US$130 to US$1,230 per tonne for Iluka premium grade zircon and the zircon reference price in China that is to be used to determine the price for Image’s heavy mineral concentrate, also increased by US$130 to US$1,295 per tonne. This increase in the price of zircon serves to increase the NPV of the Boonanarring ‘Spot Price’ Case by 47% from AU$58M to AU$85M, and may serve to increase the debt carrying capacity for the Boonanarring project.
Increase in Boonanarring ‘Proved’ Ore Reserves
On 21 August 2017, the Company announced a 60% increase in ore tonnes in the ‘Proved’ category of Ore Reserves at Boonanarring, further increasing the confidence level of the overall BFS results.
Completion of Interim Fund Raising During the Quarter
On 12 July 2017, the Company announced that it had received commitments to subscribe for a placement of 33,648,356 new shares at a price of 9 cents each, to raise $3,028,352 (before costs). The funds are being used to continue to fast-track development of the Boonanarring project in advance of full project capital funding.
Corporate
The Half-Year Financial Report ending 30 June 2017 was filed on 6 September 2017.
ACTIVITIES REPORT
Boonanarring Project Capital Financing
During the Quarter ending 30 September 2017, Image Resources NL (“Image” or “the Company”) was primarily focused on developing its options to secure project capital financing to support the development of its 100%-owned, high-grade Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80 km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in Western Australia. Development of Boonanarring is being fast-tracked in accordance with the bankable feasibility study (BFS) announced 30 May 2017.
Highlights from the BFS include:
-
Low project capital cost estimate of A$52M inclusive of ~$8M for resalable land;
-
Project Pre-Tax NPV of A$135M at 8% discount rate;
-
Project Pre-Tax IRR of 64%; Payback period of 22 months;
-
Off-Take Agreement for 100% of products/revenue in place; and
-
Relocatable capital equipment to produce HMC already acquired.
Debt Financing – In July 2017, the Company’s finance consultant PCF Capital established and is managing access to a data room of pertinent information related to the Boonanarring/Atlas BFS, to support due diligence requirements of potential debt providers as part of the overall Boonanarring Project capital funding exercise. The initial focus, for attracting potential debt providers, was on Tier-1 financial institutions. Introductory and due diligence meetings were conducted with various institutions during the quarter. At the end of September due diligence discussions were continuing with two Tier-1 institutions.
In September 2017, the focus to attract debt providers was expanded to include Tier-2 non-bank debt providers in an effort to attract a wider range of funding options, including shorter timelines. By the end of September, a roadshow
Page 2 of 11
was being planned and during October meetings were held with a number of potential Tier-2 debt providers. Feedback from the providers was very positive and several signed confidentiality agreements and secured access to the data room. Debt term sheets are anticipated by mid-November and will likely be subject to final due diligence.
Equity Financing – Concurrent with the focus on potential debt providers, efforts continued to actively market the Company to potential new sophisticated and institutional investors for the purposes of securing the necessary equity capital required for the development of Boonanarring. This included attendance at industry conferences and broker arranged road-show presentations in Australia, as well as in London and New York during the quarter.
The Company also commissioned Breakaway Research to conduct an independent research report on the investment proposition of the Boonanarring and Atlas projects. This report was published in August 2017. The Company is also working with select brokers to encourage them to conduct and publish independent research on the Image investment opportunity. Two brokers have advised that such research is currently being conducted and is expected to be published in the near future.
Boonanarring Project Development Progress
The mining contractor tendering process was advanced during the quarter, resulting in the selection of Piacentini as the preferred contractor. Discussions and negotiations will continue with Piacentini with the aim of advancing a mining contract that is ready for execution following a Decision to Mine.
Three additional approvals required for the development of the Boonanarring project were received in August 2017. The Project Management Plan was approved by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) on 1 August 2017 and the Radiation Management Plan was approved by DMIRS on 23 August 2017. The Mining Proposal with a Mine Closure Plan was also approved by DMIRS on 31 August 2017. This leaves only one remaining approval, being the ‘Works Approval’ which is to be approved by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER), and which is anticipated to be approved in the coming weeks.
Rising Zircon Prices
On 12 October 2017 the Company announced that effective 1 October the market price for Iluka premium grade zircon increased US$130 to US$1,230 per tonne. In addition, the ‘zircon reference price in China’, that is the benchmark price stipulated in the heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) off-take agreement to be used in the determination of the price for Image’s HMC, also increased by US$130 to US$1,295 per tonne. This increase in the price of zircon serves to increase the NPV of the Boonanarring ‘Spot Price’ financial model case by 47% from AU$58M to AU$85M, and may serve to support a higher debt carrying capacity for the Boonanarring project.
Increase in Boonanarring ‘Proved’ Ore Reserves
On 21 August, the Company announced a 60% increase in ore tonnes in the ‘Proved’ category of Ore Reserves at Boonanarring. This change was based on grade control drilling completed in March 2017 and designed to increase the confidence level of the Boonanarring Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. The re-estimation of Ore Reserves was conducted by Optiro Pty Ltd (Optiro) in accordance with the guidelines of the Australasian Code for reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code - 2012 edition).
When compared to the previously estimated Ore Reserves for Boonanarring (as announced on 10 April 2017), the total tonnes of Proved Ore Reserves increased by 60% from 5.8 million to 9.3 million tonnes, albeit at a lower heavy mineral (HM) grade, but importantly at a higher concentration of zircon in the HM as shown in Tables 1 and 2 below.
The significance of the updated Ore Reserves is that Proved Ore Reserves now represents nearly half (47%) of the total Ore Reserves at Boonanarring.
The updated Ore Reserves (August 2017) for Boonanarring are presented in Table 1. For comparison purposes, the estimated Ore Reserves as at March 2017 are presented in Table 2. Both are reported on Mineral Resources at a cutoff grade of 2.0% total heavy minerals (THM).

2. The Ore Reserves are based upon an FX rate US$0.73:A$1.00; and the following commodity prices: ilmenite - $US144, leucoxene - $US522, rutile - $US936 and zircon - $US1,126.
3. Mineral Resources have been reported as inclusive of Ore Reserves.
4. The mineral assemblage is reported as a percentage of in-situ THM content.
5. Tonnes and grade data have been rounded to one significant figure. Discrepancies in summations may occur due to rounding.
Completion of Interim Fund Raising During the Quarter
On 12 July 2017, the Company announced the outcome of an interim fund-raising programme to supplement cash reserves in advance of the full project capital funding for the Boonanarring Project, and the Company had received commitments to subscribe for a placement of 33,648,356 new shares at a price of 9 cents each, to raise $3,028,352 (before costs). Committed funds were received in two tranches prior to the end of July 2017.
The funds are being used to continue to advance the development of the Boonanarring projectincluding:
Page 4 of 11
-
securing certain long-lead equipment (e.g. slimes thickener, HV electrical transformer and switch gear, classifier);
-
preparation of detailed engineering (electrical, civil and mechanical);
-
undertaking miscellaneous site preparation surveys and geotechnical work;
-
EPCM planning; and
-
advancing land purchase agreements and other key contracts, including the mining contract.
Potential Boonanarring Extension
Landowners are being contacted to arrange access agreements for delineation drilling over the 5.6km northern extension of the high-grade Boonanarring deposit announced on 13 March 2017. This extension area is deemed to be within economic pumping distance of the planned location of the Boonanarring wet concentration plant.
The Company confirmed that the Boonanarring high grade extension included zircon grades range from 16.4% to 22.2% of the HM content which included outstanding high-grade intersections of 8m @ 23.8% HM in drill hole IX00245, 8m @ 21.1% HM in IX00244 and 8m @ 16.3% HM in IX00250 (ASX release 26/06/2017).
The location of drill holes from two separate drill programmes (ASX release 13/6/2015 and 13/05/2017) are shown in Figure 1.

Planned Exploration Drilling
Planned drilling at Bidaminna, Woolka, Winooka, Bibby Springs, Boonanarring West, Bryalana and Bootine have been delayed due to the wet conditions of the ground and are planned for 4thQuarter 2017 (Table 3). A three-week drill programme is scheduled to begin early November. An access agreement has been signed with the landowner at Gingin North which is interpreted to be the southernmost extension of the Boonanarring deposit. Drilling is also planned at Gingin North in the current drilling programme.
