ACTIVITIES REPORT
Bankable Feasibility Study
During the Quarter ending 30 June 2017, Image Resources NL (“Image” or “the Company”) continued to focus its efforts on fast-tracking the development of its 100%-owned Boonanarring and Atlas mineral sands projects located in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin approximately 80km north of Perth in WA. The principal activity during this period was completion of the bankable feasibility study (BFS) which was announced on 30 May 2017.
BFS Highlights:
-
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;
-
Relocatable capital equipment to produce HMC already acquired;
-
First production targeted for March 2018;
-
Mine life extension opportunities at and near Boonanarring including:
-
Confirmed 5.6 km extension of high grade mineralisation to the north of Boonanarring within economic pumping distance of the proposed location of the processing plant (announced 13 March 2017);
-
Potential to process lower grade overlying layer of mineralisation as commodity prices improve; and
-
Several other deposits with high grade Mineral Resources in the vicinity of Boonanarring.
In addition to the strong BFS results, the addition of the Atlas Ore Reserves (as announced on 30 May 2017), combined with the upside potential for high grade extensions to the Boonanarring deposit (as announced on 13 March 2017), and the continuing improvement of mineral sands commodity prices, are expected to significantly improve the bankability of the Boonanarring/Atlas Project.
Project Capital Financing
On 31 May 2017, the Company announced the unanimous approval by the Board of Directors to accept the recommendation in the BFS and to seek project financing. This approval triggered the following:
- the Company’s finance consultant, PCF Capital, established a data room and initiated contact with potential tier-1 financial institutions to seek interest in providing debt capital; and
Page 2 of 10
- executive directors embarked on road-shows to seek interest from sophisticated and institutional investors in providing equity capital.
Indicative term sheets from potential debt financiers are expected to be received late July and early August. Overall project capital funding is targeted to be completed before the end of the September Quarter.
Completion of Land Purchase Option
As announced on 10 January 2017, Image exercised a purchase option for a 550-hectare section of land situated over a portion of the Boonanarring deposit that will encompass the initial box-cut for open pit mining operations, the location of the ore processing plant and a supply of ore for up to two and a half years of processing. On 21 April 2017, the Company completed the land purchase.
Negotiations with other landowners for access to other sections of land over the Boonanarring deposit are well advanced.
Fund Raising During the Quarter
On 31 May 2017, the Board approved an interim fund-raising programme to supplement cash reserves in advance of the full project capital funding for the Boonanarring Project. 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 intended to be used to continue to advance the development of the Boonanarring project with activities to be funded including:
-
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.
Update of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves
On 10 April 2017, the Company announced an update of the Ore Reserves for Boonanarring in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), which resulted in a 39% increase in the total tonnes of ore from that reported in 2013. Updated Ore Reserves reported were 20M tonnes at 7.2% heavy minerals (HM) and 22.4% zircon in the HM across the ‘proved’ and ‘probable’ categories.
On 8 May 2017, the Company announced an update of the Mineral Resources for Atlas in accordance with the JORC Code (2012), which resulted in a 68% increase in the total tonnes of Mineral Resources from that reported in 2013. Updated Mineral Resources were reported as 18.1M tonnes at 6.0% HM across the ‘measured’, ‘indicated’ and ‘inferred’ categories.
On 30 May 2017, the Company announced the updated Ore Reserves for Atlas in accordance with the JORC Code (2012) were reported as 9.5M tonnes of ore at 8.1% HM in the ‘probable’ category.
Potential Boonanarring Extension
On 13 March 2017, the Company announced some outstanding drill results which confirm the potential for a 5.6km northern extension of high-grade Boonanarring mineralisation that will be within pumping distance of the planned location of the wet concentration plant.
On 26 June 2017, 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.
Boonanarring Northern Extension Zircon Composites
Assay results of drilling composite samples confirmed enriched zircon grades across the previously announced 5.6km high-grade northern extension of the Boonanarring mineral sands deposit. Results indicate the zircon
Page 3 of 10
grades range from 16.4% to 22.2% of the heavy mineral (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 13/03/2017).
Boonanarring has estimated Mineral Resources of 43.8M tonnes at 5.6% HM (ASX release 13/01/2017) and Ore Reserves of 20.0M tonnes at 7.2% HM with 22.4% of the HM as high-value zircon and with 77% of the HM as VHM (ASX release 10/04/2017). The Boonanarring Ore Reserves stretch over 13.2km to the south of the above mentioned 5.6km extension area.
The 5.6km extension has the same enriched zircon mineral assemblage as the Boonanarring deposit, which is within economic pumping distance of the planned location of the wet concentrator plant at Boonanarring should add significantly to the upside potential of the project.
The location of drill holes from two separate drill programmes (ASX release 13/6/2015 and 13/05/2017) are shown in Figure 1.

Even though the limited drilling programmes have confirmed that the high-grade, high-zircon extension of the Boonanarring mineralisation is present over 5.6km to the north of the current Ore Reserves, further drilling is required to outline additional Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Further infill and extension drilling is being planned and is subject to access which is currently being sought.
It is not possible with the limited information available to determine the feasibility or potential economics of mining in this extended area due to the location of the Brand Highway and gas pipelines. However, there are precedents regarding approvals to allow mining in areas near transportation and other infrastructure.
Other Projects
Planned drilling at Bidaminna, Woolka, Boonanarring West, Winooka, Bootine, Bryalana and Bibby Springs have been delayed due to the wet conditions of the ground and are planned for the quarter ended 30 September 2017 (Table 2).

King Gold Project (E28/1985)
A detailed 100m spaced 260 line km ground magnetic survey has been completed over the central part of the King Project (Figure 2). A shear zone is interpreted to potentially extend the prospective mineralised zone to the north within Image Resource’s tenement (E28/1985). Historic shallow geochemical drilling (Mines Department open file) has shown anomalous gold of 4m @ 0.4g/t from 32-36M within air core hole SLAC020 and 2m @ 0.6g/t from 34m in hole ROE0339 which is within this interpreted northern extension. This anomalous gold is thought to be an indicator of deeper steep western dipping mineralisation as demonstrated by the array of shallow and deeper drilling within the P28/1320-21 area (excised). The mineralisation within the P28/1320-21 is over 1km in length and is within a 150m wide zone and has maximum 1m gold intervals ranging from 6.9 to 38.6g/t. which are projected to surface are shown on Figure 2. The mineralisation is associated with coarse blebby sulphides and quartz veining in sheared felsic sediments. Image is planning further follow up work after the detailed interpretation is completed.
