Substantial Construction Progress at Boonanarring Project
During the reporting period, construction activities at the Boonanarring Project were substantially advanced in accordance with the fast-track project development schedule and wet commissioning commenced in October 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 25 October 2018 confirming commencement of commissioning).
Construction of the processing plant advanced from 50% complete at the end of June to 88% complete at the end of September. Overall, project development costs remain in line with the approved project development budget.
At the end of September, re-assembly of the wet concentration plant (WCP), relocated from South Australia, was structurally complete and construction of the slimes thickener was complete. Assembly of the ore feed preparation plant (FPP) and other aspects of the project were well-advanced.
Overburden removal for the initial box cut for open-cut mining operations continued to ramp up through September. Mining contractor Piacentini and Son continued to add additional mining equipment and personnel throughout the quarter and first low-grade ore was exposed in September.
Recruitment of Site-based Personnel
Recruitment of site-based personnel advanced in accordance with the schedule and budget with 19 new permanent Image employees added during the reporting period. The required balance of 14 personnel were added by the middle of October.
Second HMC Off-Take Agreement
While 100% of HMC production from the Boonanarring Project has already been secured under an HMC Off-Take Agreement with SHANTOU NATFORT ZIRCONIUM AND TITANIUM CO., LTD (Natfort), Natfort agreed to allow HAINAN WENSHENG HIGH-TECH MATERIALS CO., LTD (Wensheng) to purchase 50% of HMC production from Image under a separate off-take agreement. The new agreement with Wensheng contains the same terms and conditions and pricing as the original agreement.
Benchmark Zircon Price Continues to Rise
Effective 1 October 2018, Iluka Resources increased its Zircon Reference Price by 12% to US$1,580 per tonne (middle of range). Similarly, Image’s benchmark zircon price ( Zircon
==> picture [100 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
Benchmark Price ) to be used to price its HMC product, being the price quoted in China for Iluka premium grade zircon, increased by 12% to US$1,625 per tonne (middle of range).
USD:AUD Foreign Exchange Rate
On 28 June 2018, the Company announced further enhanced project economics for the Boonanarring/Atlas Project based on an update of the project Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) to include higher mineral sand commodity prices and a flat rate USD:AUD foreign exchange rate of 0.75. Since that announcement, the spot price of zircon increased on 1 October 2018 and in October the USD:AUD foreign exchange rate decreased to below 0.71. While the BFS has not been updated to reflect these recent developments, on a spot market basis the changes provide further improvement in the BFS project financial metrics.
Exploration
The newer Boonanarring West mineralisation target area, which is only 600m west of the Boonanarring Deposit has now been enlarged to a significant length of 10km and a programme of 48 additional holes is planned in the December Quarter.
Discussions are continuing with two landowners to allow drilling of the northernmost 2.6km of the Boonanarring Deposit Northern Extension.
The southern extension of the Atlas Deposit is being tested by a 34-hole programme looking for a potential 3km extension. Also, a 22-hole programme at Munbinia West is designed to test for new mineralisation over a 5km-long target area, and which is only 3km west of the Atlas Deposit.
At Erayinia, a 6-hole RC drilling programme totalling 625m was completed in August, testing for the northern extensions of the wide and extensive King gold mineralisation. The best gold intersection was 20m @ 0.7g/t Au from 40m including 4m @ 1.2g/t from 48 and 4m @ 1.0g/t. from 56m. A follow-up programme of 30 RC holes are planned to map out a gold-enhanced supergene zone prior to deeper RC drilling.
A large drill programme is planned in the December 2018 Quarter comprising 216 holes totalling 8,975m to follow-up numerous promising targets over a number of projects. Image remains primarily focussed on exploration activities aimed at adding to the mineral sands mineral resources and ore reserves to increase the overall life-of-mine around the Boonanarring and Atlas Deposits.
Corporate
The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 30 June 2018 were filed on 31 July 2018.

ACTIVITIES REPORT
Boonanarring Project Development
The Company made substantial progress during this reporting period, fast-tracking the development of its 100%-owned, highgrade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in WA. The project is fully funded to positive cash flow, including corporate overhead and exploration, and construction is considered 88% complete as at the end of September 2018. Construction is advancing on budget and on schedule with project commissioning starting in October and first production on-track for 4[th] QTR 2018.
Boonanarring Project Construction
During the reporting period, construction activities at the Boonanarring Project were substantially advanced in accordance with the fast-track project development schedule, and despite numerous days lost to wet weather during the winter months, wet

commissioning commenced in October 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 25 October 2018 confirming commencement of commissioning).
Construction of the processing plant, managed by ProjX and undertaken by LGM Industries, advanced from 50% complete at the end of June to 88% complete at the end of September. Overall, project development costs remain in line with the approved project development budget.
At the end of September, re-assembly of the wet concentration plant ( Photo 1 ) relocated from South Australia, was structurally complete and construction of the slimes thickener was complete. Assembly of the ore feed preparation plant ( Photo 2 ) and construction of the tailings disposal facilities, water storage ponds, HMC storage pad and a second water supply bore were all well-advanced.

Overburden removal for the initial box cut for open-cut mining operations continued to ramp up through September. Mining contractor Piacentini and Son continued to ramp up with additional mining equipment and personnel, including maintenance services, throughout the quarter. A second Hitachi 3600 excavator and additional CAT 785 and 777 haul trucks were added in July/August and first low-grade ore was exposed in September.
Other project construction and related activities include installation of permanent site administration offices; commencement of construction of the maintenance shop/warehouse/lab building; delivery of final long-lead equipment to enhance process effectiveness (e.g. Photo 3 ); and significant progress on construction of the Brand Highway upgrade.

Other Boonanarring Project Related Activities
In addition to the progress on construction related activities, significant progress was made on other project related activities including the following:
-
§ A strategy for ore blending and feeding to control heavy mineral grade and a plan to feed up to 100,000 tonnes of lower grade ore during the plant commissioning phase;
-
§ Selection and executing agreements with Braemar as ship broker and Mercantile Marine as shipping agent for the export of HMC;
Page 4 of 24
==> picture [100 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
-
§ Construction by Qube Logistics of an HMC storage facility at Qube’s Picton facilities;
-
§ Settlement of the purchase of two parcels of land over the Boonanarring ore reserves being the Dewar Property and the Yukich Property, both to the north of the Boonanarring processing plant; and
-
§ Installation of high voltage electricity grid connection to the Boonanarring site.
Recruitment of Personnel
Recruitment of suitably qualified site-based personnel advanced in accordance with the schedule and budget with 19 new permanent Image employees added during the reporting period. The required balance of 14 personnel were added by the middle of October. This brings the full complement of site-based full-time Image employees to 40 ( Photo 4 ).
Over 40% of site-based positions have been recruited from within the shire of Gingin and surrounding areas and the Company has been successful in attracting a great team of experienced people capable of successfully taking the Boonanarring project through the commissioning process to full production.

Second HMC Off-Take Agreement
While 100% of HMC production from the Boonanarring Project has already been secured under an HMC Off-Take Agreement with SHANTOU NATFORT ZIRCONIUM AND TITANIUM CO., LTD (Natfort), Natfort agreed to allow HAINAN WENSHENG HIGH-TECH MATERIALS CO., LTD (Wensheng) to purchase 50% of HMC production from Image under a separate off-take agreement. The new agreement with Wensheng contains the same terms and conditions and pricing as the original agreement with Natfort and both Wensheng and Natfort must take up to 100% of HMC production in the event the other is unwilling or unable to purchase any or all of its 50% portion of production. This dual arrangement serves to reduce Image’s risk of any delays in the receipt of revenue.
Zircon Price Continues to Rise
Effective 1 October 2018, Iluka Resources increased its Zircon Reference Price by 12% to US$1,580 per tonne. Similarly, Image’s benchmark zircon price (Zircon Benchmark Price) to be used to price Image’s Heavy Mineral Concentrate product being the price quoted in China for Iluka premium grade zircon increased by 12% to US$1,625 per tonne (middle of range).The price in China for Tronox Limited’s premium grade zircon price is even higher at US$1,645 per tonne (middle of range).
Due to decreasing zircon production across the past year from existing producers, mineral sands industry experts predict a shortfall in the zircon supply out to at least 2022 underpinning predictions of strong zircon prices at current levels or higher for the foreseeable future.

Exploration Update
-
§ Discussions are continuing with landowners, seeking access agreements to allow drilling of the northernmost 2.6km of the Boonanarring Deposit’s Northern Extension.
-
§ The newer Boonanarring West mineralisation target area, which is only 600m west of the Boonanarring Deposit has now been enlarged to a significant 10km in length and a programme of 48 holes is planned in the December Quarter.
-
§ At Bidaminna, a 100kg bulk sample of drill cuttings from the mineralised zone across two lines of drill holes across the deposit, was composited and processed through wet and dry mineral separation testing, to determine the preliminary quality of potential Leucoxene products. Results are pending further analysis. A large 30km environmental survey is being carried out in October to allow further drilling mainly to the north of the existing Bidaminna Deposit and to assist in upgrading and increasing the JORC Resource.
-
§ The southern extension of the Atlas Deposit (6.5km) is being tested by a 34-hole programme looking for a potential 3km extension. Also, a 22-hole programme at Munbinia West is designed to test for new mineralisation over a 5km-long target area, which is only 3km west of the Atlas Deposit.
-
§ The Woolka dredge target area is very large being 10km[2] in size and has potential for a very large resource. A 7km environmental survey is being carried out to allow future infill drilling on a 400m spacing which will be sufficient to calculate a JORC Resource. This will be followed with a 20-hole 900m drilling programme in the December Quarter.
-
§ At Erayinia, a 6-hole RC programme totalling 625m was completed in August, testing for the northern extensions of the wide and extensive King gold mineralisation. The best gold intersection was 20m @ 0.7g/t Au from 40m including 4m @ 1.2g/t from 48 and 4m @ 1.0g/t. from 56m. A follow-up programme of 30 RC holes are planned to map out gold-enhanced supergene zone prior to deeper RC drilling.
-
§ Overall, a large drill programme is planned in the December 2018 Quarter comprising 216 holes totalling 8,975m to followup numerous promising targets over numerous projects. (Table 1). Image remains primarily focussed on exploration activities aimed at adding to the mineral sand’s mineral resources and ore reserves to increase the overall life-of-mine around the Boonanarring and Atlas Deposits.

Boonanarring Northern Extension
The Company is in discussions with two landowners regarding access agreements for delineation drilling over the 2.6km northernmost section of the extension of the high-grade Boonanarring deposit announced on 13 March 2017. If access agreements are secured, 80 drill holes for 3,840m on a 200m x 40m drill grid are likely required to convert the mineralisation in this area to an Indicated Mineral Resources Category (Fig. 1).
The Boonanarring high-grade northern extension area has been confirmed from previous roadside drilling and includes very high zircon grades ranging from 16.4% to 22.2% of the heavy mineral (HM) content, which includes outstanding HM 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). In addition, the northernmost part of the extension area has a lower strip ratio of around 3.2:1 as compared to a higher strip ratio for the currently planned Boonanarring mine area. This extension area is deemed to be within economic pumping distance of the planned location of the Boonanarring wet concentration plant.

Boonanarring West
After drilling at Boonanarring West and further ground magnetic interpretation, a much larger target is outlined being 10,000m x 300m and is only 600m west of the Boonanarring Resource . This has positive ramifications for the mine life of the Boonanarring Deposit. A further 44 holes are planned in the December Quarter mainly on the southern part of the Boonanarring West mineralisation extension. The mineralisation intersected is open to the south and is at a lower RL of 50–55 ASL compared to 65–70 ASL for the Boonanarring deposit (Fig. 2).

Bidaminna Mineral Resources and Northern Extension
The Bidaminna Project is unusual as the heavy mineral assemblage contains significant quantities of higher value Leucoxene. The pricing of Leucoxene can vary and can be 3 to 4 times the value of Ilmenite. The Leucoxene content in the current Mineral Resources (JORC 2004) area over 3 separate lines varies from 28% Leucoxene in the HM in the southernmost part of the Mineral Resources area, up to 69% in the northernmost part of the Mineral Resources area.
A bulk sample of 100kg of drill cuttings from the mineralised section of the deposit was composited and processed through wet and dry mineral separation testing to determine a preliminary determination of the quality of potential Leucoxene products. The bulk sample was composited from two lines of drilling located just north of the Bidaminna Mineral Resources area. Results of the testing is pending further analysis. Large drilling programmes are planned in 2019 (Fig. 3) following an extensive 30km environmental survey (botanical, banksia, dieback and heritage) completed in early October 2018.

Atlas Southern Extension drilling at Munbinia and Munbinia West and dredge target drilling at Woolka
The southern extension of the Atlas Deposit (6.5km) is being tested by a 34-hole programme over a potential 3km extension. Also, a 22-hole programme at Munbinia West is designed to test for new mineralisation over a 5km-long target area, which is only 3km west of the Atlas Deposit (Fig. 4).
The Woolka Dredge Target area is very large being 10km[2] and has potential for a very large resource. A 20-hole 900m drilling programme is planned in the December Quarter. A 7km environmental survey is being carried out to allow future infill drilling on a 400m spacing, which will be sufficient for a JORC Resource. Mineralisation is in a favourable position underneath clay layers in low slimes and is below the water table. Mineralisation is adjacent to and on direct strike with Tronox’s Cooljarloo West dredging proposal area. It also has similar depth and mineralisation grade.

Erayinia Initial Gold Drilling
Encouraging results were obtained from first-pass drilling of 6 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 650m at Image’s 100%owned Erayinia prospect (E28/1845 and E28/2742 totalling 106.7km[2] ), located 130km ESE of Kalgoorlie where there are numerous operating gold mines (Fig. 5) The drill programme has been successful in identifying strike continuity of the King mineralisation), which starts 350m to the south.
==> picture [308 x 435] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5. Location of Erayinia and operating gold mines in the Kalgoorlie region
Image Resources’ drilling (Figs 6 to 8) show a number of gold mineralised zones within the first 3 southern RC holes (EYRC001, 2 and 3). The best intersection is 20m at 0.7g/t Au from 40m (Tables 2 and 3) within a sheared, bleached and silicified mafic unit. The mineralisation is interpreted to occur as west-dipping stacked pyrite, quartz, and carbonate lodes within a package of Archean mafic and sedimentary rocks.
A 7km strike length to the north of the King mineralisation remains virtually untested with only 3 deep RC holes (EYRC004, 6 and 7) completed 400m to the north by Image Resources, which intersected siliceous metasediments. Hole EYRC05 intersected a 16m zone of semi-massive sulphides from 47m in a brecciated cherty quartzite. However, preliminary analyses are low in gold content and are being checked by a more rigorous fire assay method. This area shows a complex sigmoidal-shaped magnetic

feature, interpreted to be a dolerite. Further air core (AC) drilling is proposed to outline the extent of the mineralisation prior to deeper RC drilling.
==> picture [375 x 529] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 6. Ground Magnetic & Aeromagnetic Image with current RC drilling and historical AC and RC holes
Future work will include 30 RC drill holes spaced 50m on 200m spaced lines and to a depth of 60m, to help identify and map the anomalous Au within the clay/bedrock interface where the supergene gold is present, prior to deeper RC drilling. The King mineralisation to the south is similar in style and all the RC drilling was sited on a supergene-enhanced layer that was first identified by shallow AC drilling.
Page 12 of 24
==> picture [100 x 69] intentionally omitted <==
Further work is also required elsewhere on the tenements to follow up on very encouraging positive results from shallow drilling and in some cases deeper RC. There are 16 anomalous Au zones identified mainly from previous AC drilling that will require follow up to ascertain potential Au extensions. These targets vary from 100ppb to 2860ppb Au (2.86g/t Au) as shown in Table 4.
