Boonanarring Project Debt Funding and Advancing Construction
The Company’s primary focus during the quarter was finalising project capital debt funding and advancing project construction at its 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80km north of Perth in WA. First production is scheduled to occur in the 4[th] Quarter 2018.
Satisfaction of Conditions Precedent to Drawdown of Debt Funds
On 10 May 2018, BNY Mellon, Agent under the Loan Note Subscription Agreement (“LNSA”) for Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”) and Castlelake IV, L.P. and CL V Investment Solutions LLC which are entities controlled by Castlelake L.P. (collectively, “Castlelake”) as the Loan Note Holders, notified Image the Company had satisfied all conditions precedent to drawdown of the LNSA debt funds. Image issued a drawdown request on 10 May and the full amount of the loan notes (USD equivalent to AU$50 million, less fees) was received in a single tranche on 25 May 2018.
Receipt of debt funds, along with the AU$25 million (before costs) equity funding completed in March, provide Image with full capital funding required for the development of the Boonanarring Project, as well as sufficient funds for corporate overhead and exploration expenditures to positive Boonanarring Project cashflow scheduled for 1[st] QTR 2019.
Advancing Construction at Boonanarring Project
During the reporting period, construction activities at the Boonanarring Project were ramped up in accordance with the fast-track project development schedule. Image’s wet concentration plant (WCP) and associated equipment located in South Australia was relocated to Boonanarring. Site civil construction and concrete works for the processing plant were completed at Boonanarring and reassembly of the WCP was well advanced by the end of the reporting period.
Topsoil and overburden removal for the initial box cut for open-cut mining operations was also well advanced by the end of June. Mining contractor Piacentini and Son mobilised to Boonanarring in late April and continued to ramp up with additional mining equipment and personnel, including maintenance services, throughout May and June.
Other project construction and related activities include completion of the site entry road; installation of temporary administration offices; establishment of an off-site temporary construction camp; procurement of additional select equipment to enhance process effectiveness; and installation of an environmental dust and noise monitoring station.

Rising Zircon Prices
Zircon prices continued to rise during the quarter. On 1 April 2018, Iluka Resources increased its Zircon Reference Price by 14% to US$1,410 per tonne. Similarly, the benchmark zircon price to be used to price Image’s Heavy Mineral Concentrate product, ( Zircon Benchmark Price ) being the Iluka premium grade zircon reference price as quoted in China, increased by 12% to US$1,455 per tonne.
Tronox Limited also increased the sales price for its premium grade zircon by 13% to US$1,645 per tonne effective 1 July 2018.
The Company anticipates the Zircon Benchmark Price will rise again early in 4[th] QTR 2018, prior to the start of production at Boonanarring.
BFS Update
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). The BFS was updated to reflect significantly higher zircon spot market prices and higher zircon and other mineral sands commodity price forecasts published during the reporting period by TZ Mineral International Pty Ltd (TZMI). The USD:AUD foreign exchange rate was also set to a flat rate of USD0.75. Enhanced project economics included pre-tax NPV(8%) of AU$235M; IRR of 125% and payback period of 13 months.
Exploration
A 100kg bulk sample of drill cuttings from the mineralised zone at the Bidaminna deposit is being prepared for wet and dry heavy mineral separation testing and preliminary Leucoxene product quality determination.
Drilling of 68 AC holes totalling over 2 kilometres was completed during the quarter predominately over the Regans Ford South area.
Discussions are continuing with two landowners to allow drilling of the northernmost 2.6km of the Boonanarring Deposit’s Northern Extension.
Drilling results confirmed the southern 4.1km extension for the Boonanarring deposit and the equivalent strand to the Boonanarring West mineralisation. As a result, the newer Boonanarring West mineralisation target area has been enlarged to 4.2km in length and planned drilling.
A significant drill programme is planned in the September 2018 Quarter to follow up numerous promising targets over a number of projects.
The Company continued to control its exploration expenditures largely in accordance with minimum expenditure limits to conserve cash for the development of the Boonanarring Project.
Corporate
The Image Board appointed Mr Huang Cheng Li as a Non-Executive Director effective 4 April 2018 as the nominated representative of Vestpro International of Hong Kong following Vestpro’s participation in the March 2018 $25M equity raising and achieving a position on the share register of greater than 10% (post-equity raising).
The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 31 March 2018 were filed on 30 April 2018.
The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was held 21 May 2018 with all six (6) resolutions put before shareholders approved by a show of hands and supported by proxy votes.

ACTIVITIES REPORT
Boonanarring Project Development
The Company made substantial progress during this reporting period, fast-tracking the development of its 100%owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in WA. The project is now fully funded to positive cash flow, including corporate overhead and exploration, and construction is considered 50% complete as at the end of June 2018. Construction is advancing on budget and largely on schedule with commissioning and first production on-track for 4[th] QTR 2018.
Receipt of Debt Funding
On 10 May 2018, the Company was notified it had satisfied all conditions precedent to drawdown of debt funding under the Loan Note Subscription Agreement (“LNSA”). Notice was received from BNY Mellon, the Agent under the LNSA for Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”) and Castlelake IV, L.P. and CL V Investment Solutions LLC which are entities controlled by Castlelake L.P. (collectively, “Castlelake”) as the Loan Note Holders.
Following receipt of the notice from BNY, Image immediately issued a drawdown request on 10 May 2018 for the full amount of the loan notes. On 25 May 2018 Image received the USD equivalent to AU$50 million (less fees) in a single tranche.
Receipt of the debt funds completed the capital funding requirements for the development of the Boonanarring Project. And, along with the AU$25 million (before costs) equity funding completed in March 2018, the Company is now fully funded, including sufficient funds for corporate overhead and exploration expenditures, to Boonanarring Project positive cashflow scheduled for 1[st] QTR 2019.
Boonanarring Project Construction
During the quarter construction crews completed the dismantling of the wet concentration plant (WCP) in South Australia and relocation of the WCP components and a vast majority of the associated plant and equipment, to the Boonanarring mine site.
At Boonanarring, construction activities were ramped up during the quarter and by the end of June, site civil and concrete works for the WCP were complete and general site civil works were 70% complete. Re-assembly of the WCP commenced in early June and is advancing on schedule. In addition, the deconstruction of a used slimes thickener located off-site was completed and was delivered and partially re-assembled at Boonanarring in early July. See Photo 1.

==> picture [215 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Procurement of remaining select equipment aimed at enhancing the process effectiveness was completed and deliveries remain on schedule. Construction of a new ore feed hopper for the mine is on track and scheduled to be delivered in August.
Mining contractor Piacentini and Son continued the process of mobilising equipment and personnel during the quarter and is now making excellent progress on topsoil and overburden removal. Overall the initial box cut for open-cut mining operations was well advanced by the end of June with actual production rates from the truck and excavator fleet significantly above budgeted production rates. First ore is expected to be exposed late in September 2018.
Heavy rains in June have resulted in the loss of six days in the overall schedule principally due to impacts on the reassembly of the WCP and overall site civil works. It is uncertain if this lost time will result in a delay to the overall project schedule, however at this time commissioning of the WCP remains on schedule.
The current project development schedule provides for wet commissioning of the WCP and ancillary equipment required for the Boonanarring Project in October 2018 and first production before the end of the 4[th] Quarter 2018.
Rising Zircon Prices
Zircon prices continued to rise during the quarter. On 1 April 2018, Iluka Resources increased its Zircon Reference Price by 14% to US$1,410 per tonne. Similarly, the benchmark zircon price to be used to price Image’s Heavy Mineral Concentrate product (Zircon Benchmark Price), being the Iluka premium grade zircon reference price as quoted in China increased by 12% to US$1,455 per tonne.
Tronox Limited also increased the sales price for its premium grade zircon by 13% to US$1,645 per tonne effective 1 July 2018. This latest price increase follows on the heels of Tronox increasing the zircon price by 10% on 1 January 2018.
Zircon represents over 70% of total projected revenue for the Boonanarring project and the current bench mark spot price for zircon to be used to determine the price of Boonanarring HMC product is now over 25% higher than when the bankable feasibility study results were published on 30 May 2017.
A shortfall of zircon in the short to medium term is emerging. Global supply of zircon is forecast to decline by around 20% over the next few years driven by mine closures and declining grades with the supply gap needing to be filled from existing inventories and new projects. Image will be in a prime position to benefit from the recent zircon price rises and developing supply shortfall by transitioning to a significant zircon producer in 2018-19.
The Company anticipates a further rise in the Zircon Benchmark Price early in 4[th] QTR 2018, prior to the start of production at Boonanarring.
BFS Update
On 28 June 2018, the Company announced further enhanced project economics for the Boonanarring/Atlas Project based on an update of the Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS). The BFS was updated to reflect significantly higher zircon spot market prices and higher zircon and other mineral sand commodity price forecasts published during the reporting period by TZ Mineral International Pty Ltd (TZMI). In addition, the USD:AUD foreign exchange rate was set to a flat rate of USD0.75.
Enhanced project economics include:
-
Project Pre-Tax NPV(8%) of AU$235M; up from A$197M in Nov 2017;
-
Project Pre-Tax IRR of 125%; up from 104%; and
-
Payback period of 13 months; down from 16 months.
The overall pre-tax NPV of the Boonanarring/Atlas Project has now increased 74% from the original publication of the BFS on 30 May 2017 indicating an pre-tax NPV(8%) of AU$135M.
Corporate
Following participation in the $25M equity raising to achieve a position on the share register of greater than 10% postequity raising, Vestpro International of Hong Kong nominated Mr Huang Cheng Li as its nominated representative, and the Image Board appointed Mr Li as a Non-Executive Director effective 4 April 2018.
The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 31 March 2018 were filed on 30 April 2018.

EXPLORATION HIGHLIGHTS
-
Ø Drilling of 68 AC holes totalling 2075m was completed predominately over the Regans Ford South area in the June Quarter.
-
Ø Ongoing discussions are continuing with two landowners, seeking access agreements to allow drilling of the northernmost 2.6km of the Boonanarring Deposit’s Northern Extension.
-
Ø Extensive drilling of 52 AC holes totalling 1537m has confirmed the southern 4.1km extension for the Boonanarring deposit, the Piggery Strand and the equivalent strand to the Boonanarring West mineralisation.
-
Ø The newer Boonanarring West mineralisation target area has been enlarged to 4.2km in length and a large programme of 48 holes is planned in the September Quarter.
-
Ø At Bidaminna, a 100kg bulk sample of drill cuttings from the mineralised zone across two lines of drill holes across the deposit, is being prepared for wet and dry heavy mineral separation testing and preliminary Leucoxene product quality determination.
-
Ø At Erayinia, a 6 RC hole programme totalling 720m is starting in early August, testing for the northern extensions of the wide and extensive King Gold mineralisation.
-
Ø Overall, a large drill programme is planned in the September 2018 Quarter comprising 212 holes totalling 8,215m to follow up numerous promising targets over a number of projects.
Boonanarring North 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 3840m 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 HM content, which includes outstanding Heavy Mineral 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
Reinterpretation of the drilling and more extensive ground magnetics shows that the Boonanarring West target area has been enlarged to 4200m x 300m and is only 600m west of the Boonanarring mine which is under construction (Fig. 2). This has potential positive ramifications for the mine life of the Boonanarring deposit. The 13 holes drilled this quarter have so far shown that the mineralisation is 1km in length with visually estimated medium-grade drill intersections. A further 44 holes are planned in the September 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. 3).

Boonanarring South
Previous drilling and magnetic interpretation show the Boonanarring Mineral Resources as potentially continuing southwards up to 4.1km (Fig. 3). A recent large drill programme of 46 AC holes totalling 1,384m was completed with field estimates being encouraging and lab results are pending. This drilling has further validated this interpretation, which extends the Boonanarring deposit, the Piggery strand and the new Boonanarring West mineralisation within the 4.1km gap area. Further drill programmes are currently being planned to facilitate Mineral Resources estimates.

Bidaminna Mineral Resources and Northern Extension
The Bidaminna Project is unusual as the heavy mineral assemblage is dominated by the higher-value Leucoxene, rather than Ilmenite. The pricing of Leucoxene varies compared to the other mineral sands products but is typically 3 to 4 times the value of Ilmenite. The Leucoxene content in the current Mineral Resources (JORC 2004) area 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.
No drilling was carried out this quarter, yet a bulk sample of approximately 100kg of drill cuttings from the mineralised section of the deposit is being composited for wet and dry mineral separation testing and for a preliminary determination of the quality of potential Leucoxene products. The bulk sample is being composited from two lines of drilling located just north of the Bidaminna Mineral Resources area. Additional drill programmes would likely be delayed into 2019 as environmental surveys (botanical, banksia, dieback and heritage), which are seasonal in nature, are required prior to any drilling. These surveys will be planned to be completed in October–November 2018.
