Boonanarring/Atlas Feasibility Study
The Company’s primary focus during this past quarter continued to be advancing work on the
feasibility study (FS) on its 100%-owned, high-grade Boonanarring and Atlas mineral sands
projects in the North Perth Basin in WA. Boonanarring is located 80 kilometres north-northwest
of Perth.
The FS will be to a bankable standard and is anticipated to be completed at the end of March
2017. The FS is key to facilitating the Company’s principal objective of transitioning from
advanced exploration to production on an accelerated timeline, currently targeted for early
2018.
Feasibility work during the quarter included:

Battery Limits Pty Ltd appointed as lead consultant to manage the FS in October;

Numerous sub-contractors and consultants appointed in November to complete
various aspects of FS including updating of capital and operating costs;

Mining contractor pre-qualification process launched in November;

Additional metallurgical bulk composite testwork commissioned in December to
confirm heavy mineral recovery rates and grades expected from wet concentrator
plant acquired in June 2016.

Finalisation of geotechnical assessment programme for Boonanarring to confirm pit
wall slopes for detailed mine design; and

Completion of an updated Mineral Resources statement for the Boonanarring Project
by Optiro Pty Ltd in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
Boonanarring Mineral Resource Estimate
Results of the updated Mineral Resource estimate for Boonanarring were reported to ASX in
announcement “Tonnage Doubles in Mineral Resource Update for Boonanarring Project”
dated 13 January 2017. When compared to the Mineral Resource estimate for Boonanarring
prepared for Image for its 2013 feasibility study, the total tonnes of Mineral Resources
increased by 103% from 21.5 million to 43.7 million tonnes, albeit at lower HM grade and
mineral assemblage.
The principal reasons for the substantial increase in Mineral Resource tonnes are:

An expanded area of mineralisation as a result of drilling completed since 2013;

Delineation of a substantially contiguous layer of lower grade mineralisation overlying
the high-grade mineralised strands (Overlying Mineralisation), previously thought to
be discontinuous and sub-economic; and

Application of a lower cut-off grade (2.0% HM versus 2.5% in 2013).
It remains to be determined what quantity of these additional tonnes of mineralisation will
translate to economic reserves.
Fund Raising Exercise
On 14 December 2016, the Company announced plans to conduct a non-renounceable, fully
underwritten rights issue to offer 5 new shares for every 12 shares held on 19 December 2016
(record date). The shares were offered at $0.04 per share to raise a total of $6.325M before
costs. The offer was scheduled to close on 12 January 2017 but was subsequently extended
and closed on 19 January2017.

Page 1 of 12

IMAGE RESOURCES NL

Results of the successful offer were announced to the ASX on 24 January 2017, with an uptake of 84% of total new shares on offer from existing shareholder entitlements including top-up requests. The balance of new shares was placed with the underwriter (existing shareholder Million Up Ltd) and sub-underwriters.

The Company intends to utilise the funds raised from the rights issue for the following purposes:

  • cover the costs associated with the rights issue;

  • complete the FS for the development of Boonanarring and Atlas projects;

  • purchase land critical to the development of Boonanarring;

  • undertake additional exploration activities; and

  • for general working capital purposes.

On 10 January 2017, the Company exercised the land purchase option to acquire 550 hectares of land situated over a key section of the Boonanarring project which will include the site location of the wet concentrator plant and associated facilities as well as the initial mining starter pit.

Corporate

  • The Annual Report was filed on 28 October 2016;

  • the company conducted its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 30 November 2016; and

  • An application to ASIC to change the Company’s reporting period for accounting and reporting purposes from a fiscal year to a calendar year was approved by ASIC in December 2016.

Boonanarring and Boonanarring Extensions

Regans Ford South (E70/3041)

Exploration drilling in 2016 demonstrated the continuity of the Boonanarring Strand southwards. The Optiro resource work (ASX Release 13/01/2017) extended the eastern Boonanarring Strandline Resource from 11.2km to 13.2km and also outlined a new western strand (piggery). Both these strands have been incorporated into an updated Mineral Resource estimate which has significantly increased from 21.5Mt at 8.3% HM to 43.7Mt at 5.6% HM. Note this resource has not been closed off to the south because of a 1km gap due to lack of access with two landowners even though the mineralisation continues for a further 2km southwards into the Gingin North Resource area. Further investigation of potential access is currently being sought in the gap area and at Gingin North ( Figure 1 ).

Boonanarring North (M70/1311)

Approximately 1175 samples have been assayed as part of the new extensive upper layer which is thought to cover the whole of the 13.2km Boonanarring deposit ( Figure 3 ). This upper layer comes close to the surface and has the potential to add significant tonnes. Composite test work using Qemscan for every second drill line has been completed. The Optiro Resource work has shown additional tonnes at lower overall Zircon and HM percentages (Refer to ASX release of 13/01/2017).

A 6-hole programme was completed mainly to infill parts of the western strand within the Boonanarring Resource area ( Figure 2 ).

A 12-hole programme is planned over a roadside drilling area between 2.5-5.5km north of the Boonanarring Resource. Previous drilling 1.3km north of the Boonanarring Resource confirmed continuity of the high grade eastern strand, including 5m @ 28.4% HM from 42m (Hole IM0083), 3m @ 22.9% HM from 43m (Hole IM0084) and 9m @ 25.0% HM from 43m (hole IX0103).

Bidaminna (E70/3298), Bidaminna North (E70/2844), Mimegarra (E70/4779), Regans Ford (E70/3411)

The Bidaminna Region ( Figure 4 ) was signalled as an unusually high leucoxene province after composites were taken across the Bidaminna Resource (refer to the 24[th] November 2015 ASX release). The Bidaminna Project size is as large as the Gingin Scarp group of resources (includes Red Gully, Boonanarring, Gingin North and Gingin South) totalling close to 60km.

The leucoxene concentration range of 28 to 69% of the HM in the seven Bidaminna historic Mineral Resource area composites is much higher than any of the eight deposits between Gingin South and the Cooljarloo Mine where the leucoxene range is between 1 to 10% of the HM. This makes the Bidaminna Resource very unusual and, thus, Image applied for additional land to cover the northern and southern extensions of the Bidaminna historic Mineral Resource area.

A 60-hole programme is designed to meet the shortfall in the Mines Department commitment for the 3 tenements and is along known tracks avoiding unnecessary expense with clearing lines and corresponding botanical and heritage surveys to be carried out ( Figure 4 ). This programme will more importantly test the veracity of the wireframes used for an Exploration Target of 100-110Mt between 3-4% HM. Also, an important aspect of the drilling is to test the northern parts of the Exploration target north of the existing historic Mineral Resource, as this is where the total leucoxene grade of both High Ti and Low Ti are around 69% versus 28% at the southern end of the Resource. The drilling programme will provide enough sample to complete a mini bulk test by AML. The aim of this work is to determine what sort of wet plant recoveries are possible and final leucoxene products.

The mineral assemblage values for the leucoxene-rich Bidaminna Mineral Resource and Exploration Target will be compared with other leucoxene-rich deposits and nearby dredging operations.

The Bidaminna Mineral Resource and Exploration Target, differs from the Boonanarring deposit in that they are amenable to large-scale dredge mining with a very low slime content of around 3-4%, the mineralised horizon is below the water table and has two zones of mineralisation up to 35 metres thick.

Given the potential significance of the Bidaminna Project, a new more detailed 100m spaced ground magnetic survey was completed during the quarter ( Figure 4 ). The purpose of this survey was firstly to verify that the large 17km of strike-length has both a shallow and lower layer with a low strip ratio of 0.5-1.0 and to help wireframe a new Exploration Target. Secondly, to show up any new parallel shallow zones that were not recognised or partially shown up by the older 250m wider spaced survey. Thirdly, to direct the location of the planned 60-hole drilling programme.

A recent access approval for a 13-hole drilling programme will test several strands within the Regans Ford area. These strands appear to be extensive and no previous drilling has been carried out here ( Figure 4 ).

Woolka E70/4244

An 11-hole programme has been designed to locate extensions of the dredge resources along strike and WNW of the Tronox proposed dredge area within both the Woolka (E70/4244) and Munbinea (E70/3997) tenements ( Figure 5 ). A Heritage survey is scheduled in early February 2017 prior to the drilling. This programme should demonstrate the potential size of the dredge area within the Woolka and Munbinea tenements. Note the proposed area if successful is similar in size as the whole Tronox Cooljarloo historical dredge areas and is a major target. Tronox have just started drilling Image’s Mullering royalty areas directly west of the current dredging areas.

Bibby Springs (E70/4663)

Ten holes are recommended in the future to both satisfy the Mines Department minimum expenditure commitment and to evaluate the potential of significantly increasing the size of the Helene Mineral Resource . The Helene Resource 0.52Mt of HM plus the surrounding dry mining areas of Atlas (0.86Mt of HM) and Hyperion (0.30 Mt) are potentially significant. The final access agreements are expected prior to drilling in the March quarter.
