HIGHLIGHTS

  • Second full quarter as operational mining company at 100%-owned Boonanarring Mineral Sands Project located 80km north of Perth, WA.

  • Overall results exceeded budget expectations including higher ore grade facilitating higher heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production and higher HMC sales resulting in a strong cash balance. Although revenue was lower than expected due to a weaker market price for standard grade zircon, significantly lower project operating costs resulted in substantially lower unit costs and higher unit margins.

ACTIVITIES REPORT

High Level Summary

The Company completed a successful second full quarter as an active mining company at its 100%-owned, high-grade, zirconrich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in WA. This cements the Company’s position as Australia’s newest mineral sands mining company.

Overall, performance for the quarter and year-to-date was very positive with heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production higher than budgeted, while project operating costs were substantially lower than budgeted. The net result being project operating margin and year-to-date EBITDA and provisional NPAT being significantly higher than budget expectations.

Another significant success was the sale of a nominal 70K tonnes of HMC across the last six weeks of the quarter, converting the majority of HMC inventory to cash. As a result, the cash balance at the end of the quarter increased to $25.7M with a further $12.0M received in early July for shipment 6 which sailed on 30 June 2019. The net result of a second quarter of positive results allows annual guidance for 2019 to be adjusted positively (to be announced separately).

In addition to operational successes, the Company discovered a hither-to unknown zone of ultra-high-grade or potentially direct shipping ore (DSO) located below the previously modelled bottom of mineralisation. Investigations continue into unlocking and optimising the value and extent of the ore mined from this zone.

Drilling through the end of June was focussed on the delineation of a high-grade core within the East Strand at Boonanarring with initial results being announced subsequent to the end of the Quarter (ASX 15 July 2019: IMA - Confirms High-Grade Core in Eastern Strand at Boonanarring). This infill delineation drilling will facilitate an upgrade of the Ore Reserve anticipated in late September 2019.

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter the Company also announced that access had been secured to the northern extension area (NEA) of the Boonanarring deposit located across the Brand Highway (ASX 16 July 2019: Boonanarring Northern Extension Drilling Access). Previously announced scout drilling results for the NEA (ASX 13 March 2017: Outstanding Results Confirm a 5.6km High Grade Extension at Boonanarring) indicate the high-grade core of the eastern strand of Boonanarring continues for up to 5.6km. Drilling in this area will be to delineate additional Ore Reserves and add to the overall Boonanarring mine life.

Details

Safety

The Company has now completed a second quarter of mining and ore processing operations with zero lost time injuries . This completes 15 months site operations, including project construction, commissioning and seven months of operations, with no lost time injuries.

The Company remains committed to the promotion of a safety and wellness culture including safety programmes and procedures coupled with health and wellbeing programmes that together encourage job safety analysis and planning as well as active incident reporting for the purpose of continual improvement of the health, safety and well-being of all employees, contractors, visitors and members of the community as well as protection of the environment.

Operating Statistics

HMC Production: Heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production for Q2 was 69K tonnes or 117% of budget. Y-T-D HMC production is 138K tonnes (138% of budget) or an average of 23K tonnes per month which continues to exceed the long-term, full-scale average monthly production rate of 20,000 tonnes (Figure 1).

Figure 1 – HMC Production

==> picture [326 x 206] intentionally omitted <==

Ore Grade: The primary reason for higher HMC production continues to be substantially higher than expected ore grade. Average ore grade for Q2 was 9.3% heavy minerals (HM) or 121% of the 7.7%HM budget. Y-T-D average ore grade was 10.1% HM or 143% of budget (Figure 2).

Figure 2 – Ore Grade

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Zircon Grade: In addition to higher than expected HM ore grade, the zircon content in the HM continues to be higher than estimated in the Ore Reserve. On average the zircon grade for Q2 was 102% of Ore Reserve estimate at 30.8% of the HM, and 112% of the Ore Reserve estimate on a Y-T-D basis at 31.1% in the HM (Figure 3). Higher than expected zircon grade is significant to overall project economics as zircon in the HMC represented 88% of revenue for Q2 and 86% for Y-T-D.

Figure 3 – Zircon Content in Ore HM

==> picture [431 x 218] intentionally omitted <==

Ore Feed Rate: The ore processing rate to the feed preparation plant (FPP) was generally lower than budgeted for Q1 and Q2 (Figure 4), due in part to higher than expected HM ore grade and higher than designed HMC production rate. Q2 ore processing rate was 416 tonnes per hour (tph) or 83% of the budgeted target rate of 500 tph. The Y-T-D ore processing rate was 383 tph or 84% of budget. Total ore processed in Q2 was 787K tonnes or 85% of budget and 1,451Kt or 86% of budget on a Y-T-D basis.

Capital improvements have been approved and are being implemented to 1) expand the HMC cleaning and dewatering circuit to accommodate higher ore grades, and 2) enhance oversize screening at the ore feed preparation plant. Improvements are tentatively scheduled for implementation in Q3 2019.

Operating Summary: Overall operating statistics were mixed with continued higher operating availability, HM ore grade and HMC production, but lower ore tonnes processed and lower HM recovery and HMC grade (Table 1). HM recovery and HMC grade continue to be a point of focus for the optimisation of recovery and quality

Mining

Overburden removal and ore mining by contractor Piacentini & Son progressed broadly in accordance with the mine schedule. Ore was mined from both the western and eastern strandlines (Photo 2). Due to the extreme ore grade variability (2% to 45+% HM), ore blending continues to be a key element of mine scheduling and control. Solar cell construction activities were substantially reduced during the quarter with the successful implementation of co-disposal of the slimes tailings with the sand tailings in the mine. Co-disposal has also significantly reduced overall fresh water consumption and improved the clarity of the water throughout the hydraulic loop in the WCP.

HMC Sales

A total of three bulk shipments of HMC were completed during Q2 for a total of 68.2K dry metric tonnes (DMT) or 97% of budgeted sales. Y-T-D sales of 116.2K tonnes of HMC is 101% of budget (Refer Table 2). All sales were completed under the existing HMC off-take agreements and reflected market pricing for the 30-day period leading up to the time of each shipment.

HMC inventory at the end of Q2 was approximately 38K DMT at an estimated sales value of $22 million. In early July the Company confirmed shipment 7 for a nominal 20K DMT scheduled to sale the final week of July.

Revenue

Total revenue for Q2 was AU$42.5M, representing only 85% of budgeted revenue. The key difference from budget was that the budget assumed a zircon price increase in Q2 which did not happen, and the market price for standard grade zircon has remained lower than budgeted since the beginning of 2019. On the positive side, the zircon content of the HMC for Q2 improved significantly from Q1 (see Table 2) resulting in an increase in average HMC pricing from AU$517/DMT in Q1 to AU$623/DMT in Q2.

Y-T-D revenue was AU$67.3M and 92% of budget.

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Operating Costs

Project operating costs remained low for Q2 at only 78% of budget at $22.4M, and Y-T-D costs at $37.8M are only 76% of budget.

Similarly, project operating ‘unit’ costs are significantly lower than budget at $329/DMT HMC sold for Q2 and $325/DMT HMC on Y-T-D basis, or 68% and 75% of budget respectively.

Operating costs were lower than budget due to mining and processing of fewer ore tonnes due to the higher than anticipated HM ore grade, but also due to lower than budgeted costs in most areas.

Operating Margin and EBITDA

The operating margin for Q2 was $294/DMT HMC sold or 131% of budget; and on a Y-T-D basis the margin was $254/DMT or 125% of budget. As a result, Project EBITDA for Q2 was substantially higher than Q1 at $20.2M and was $29.5m on a Y-TD basis which is 127% of budget.

As a result of the continued higher than budgeted HMC production, lower operating costs, higher operating margins and higher Project EBITDA, annual guidance for 2019 will be positively adjusted (to be announced separately).

Cash

Cash at the end of the quarter was $25.7M, not including $12M, from the sale of HMC shipment No. 6 which sailed on 30 June 2019 with receipt of funds from the related letter of credit delayed until early July.

Foreign Exchange Rate

AUD:USD foreign exchange rate (FX) remained favourable ending the quarter below 0.70. The 2019 budget is based on an assumed FX of 0.74. Adjusted guidance will likely use a forecast FX of 0.72 for the remainder of 2019.

Zircon Pricing

The premium grade zircon market price, used as a benchmark to determine the standard grade price for Image’s zircon in its HMC product, remained steady with Iluka Resources announcing it would maintain its current published pricing for six months from 31 March 2019. The Q2 budget assumed this benchmark price would increase slightly. In addition, the market price for standard grade zircon also remained relatively stable during Q2 at US1,425-1,475/t, which is lower than originally budgeted. However, the medium and longer-term outlook for zircon pricing based on the underlying fundamentals of supply/demand remain positive, particularly with delays in any new projects achieving production.

Corporate

The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 31 March 2019 were filed on 30 April 2019.

EXPLORATION

Exploration Highlights

Discussions are continuing with three landowners, seeking access agreements to allow drilling of the northernmost 2.6km of the Boonanarring Deposit’s Northern Extension Area (NEA). Subsequent to the end of Q2, Image announced it had received access to one of the land positions in the NEA.

A close-spaced infill drilling program commenced with a total of 14,750m (68%) completed out of a total of 21,600m of planned air-core (AC) drilling. All of drilling in Block C has been completed and 55% of the assays have been received and are summarised in this report. These initial results from Block C close-spaced (5m) infill drilling are very positive and appear to corroborate mining and processing results from the 2019 March Quarter indicating the actual heavy mineral (HM) ore grade was substantially higher than estimated in the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

At Erayinia, promising results have been followed up with 9 RC holes totalling 1038m. This programme has several reasonable intersections including 4m at 2g/t from 80m in hole EYRC19, 4m at 1g/t from 84m in hole EYRC22, 8m at 1.4g/t from 92m in EYRC18 and 4m at 1.3g/t from 92m IN EYRC17. A number of 1m splits of the anomalous zones have been sent off to the laboratory for further analyses and these results will form the basis of a further drilling programme.

Boonanarring Mine Drilling

Page 7

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==

Close-spaced infill drilling has confirmed the existence of a very high-grade core within the eastern strand of Image’s 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80 km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia.

This confirmation of the high-grade core in the eastern strand comes from initial assay results for drilling in Block C at Boonanarring (current mining block). These results are only part of a larger drilling program designed to re-assess the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve at Boonanarring, as announced to the ASX on 14 March 2019 (Targeting Ore Reserve Upgrade at Boonanarring in Response to Higher than Expected Ore Grades). The full drilling program will include close-spaced, infill drilling to delineate the full extent of the high-grade core in the eastern strand across Blocks A, B, C and D.

The close-spaced infill drilling program commenced on 2 April 2019 and has continued through to the end of June, with a total of 14,750m (68%) completed out of a total of 21,600m of planned air-core (AC) drilling. All of drilling in Block C has been completed and 55% of the assays have been received and are summarised in this report.

These initial results from Block C close-spaced (5m) infill drilling are very positive and appear to corroborate mining and processing results from the 2019 March Quarter indicating the actual heavy mineral (HM) ore grade was substantially higher than estimated in the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve. These results also support the Company’s belief that the high-grade core was not adequately delineated by the routine 15-20m drill hole spacings used for the determination of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve, and that the Ore Reserve may have been understated.

Results from this initial set of assays is presented by means of five cross-sections showing assay results from the initial Ore Reserve drilling and the updated assay results from the infill drilling. The locations of the five cross-sections are shown in Figure 1 which is a grade-thickness map generated from the original Ore Reserve drilling and which shows the presence of a high-grade core running largely the full length of the eastern strand of the Boonanarring deposit.

These cross-section comparisons (Figures 2-6) showing HM grades before and after the infill drilling, clearly show the presence of substantial high and very high-grade core material that was not identified in the initial Ore Reserve drilling results. Field assays (HM panning) indicate similar comparisons in other sections of the deposit, however laboratory assays are required to confirm these results.

These initial results should not be considered to be representative of results for the balance of the deposit as other parts of the deposit could be materially different, and these initial results should not be used to imply any potential quantitative change to the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve. The target date for re-estimation of the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve has been extended due to additional infill drilling requirements. The current estimate for completion is late in the September Quarter 2019.

Table 1 shows 168 intersections greater than 10%HM from previous drilling in Block C and used for the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve and Table 2 shows an additional 52 intersections greater than 10%HM from the current close-spaced infill drilling program.

These initial results returned numerous very high-grade laboratory assays from Block C. Out of 965 assays received to date, 158 assays are >10% HM including 41 >30% HM, 31 >40% HM, 24 >50% HM, 12 >60% HM, 8 >70% HM and 4 >80% HM.

Boonanarring Northern Extension Area Access

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, Image has secured access for drilling to assess the heavy mineral grade and quality in a 1.3km section of the 5.6km northern extension area (NEA) at the Company’s 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80 km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia.

Access to this 1.3km section of the NEA (see Figure 7) was secured by means of a purchase option agreement in respect of the land, between Image and the landowner on terms customary for agreements of this nature, whereby:

  • Image can immediately access the land to conduct drilling and assessment of the mineralisation for a period of up to six months; and

  • Image may exercise an option to purchase the land during this six-month period, subject to Foreign Investment Review Board approval, if required.

Exercise of the purchase option is at Image’s election and there are no other material conditions precedent to the exercise. Image has paid an option fee and if it elects to exercise the option is liable to pay the purchase price for the land. The funds required for the option fee fall within the budget for additional land access already approved by the Board. The purchase option period expires 11 January 2020.

Drilling is to commence in this 1.3km section of the NEA as soon as the exploration programme of work is approved by the Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS). The objective of drilling and assessment of the mineralisation in the NEA is to verify the presence of economic mineralisation and add to the Boonanarring Ore Reserves to increase overall mine life.

For perspective, the full 5.6km strike length of the NEA can be compared to the 13.2km strike length of the original Boonanarring Ore Reserve (Figure 7) which had an original estimated mine life of 5.5 years. This purchase option agreement covers 1.3km strike length within the 5.6km NEA and negotiations for access to other parts of the NEA are ongoing.

There is no certainty additional access will be granted and some areas of the NEA are significantly challenged by existing infrastructure including natural gas pipelines, powerlines and the Brand Highway.

Boonanarring Northern Extension Area background

Preliminary scout drilling results that identified the northern extension of mineralisation at Boonanarring and indicating high heavy mineral grades, were announced to the ASX on 13 March 2017 (OUTSTANDING DRILL RESULTS CONFIRM A 5.6KM HIGHGRADE EXTENSION OF BOONANARRING DEPOSIT). A follow-on announcement on 26 June 2017 (ZIRCON ENRICHMENT CONFIRMED FOR 5.6KM HIGH-GRADE EXTENSION OF BOONANARRING DEPOSIT) confirmed the heavy mineral content of the mineralisation in the NEA was enriched in zircon similar to the Boonanarring Ore Reserve.

In early April 2018, Image commenced a drilling programme to delineate a high-grade core of the eastern strand of the current Boonanarring Ore Reserve for the purpose of upgrading the Ore Reserve. Details of the evidence of this high-grade core and

drilling programme were presented in an ASX announcement dated 14 March 2018 and titled IMAGE RESOURCES TARGETING ORE RESERVE UPGRADE AT BOONANARRING IN RESPONSE TO SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER THAN EXPECTED ORE GRADES. Scout drilling results in the NEA strongly indicated the high-grade core of the eastern strand of Boonanarring extends into the NEA, and therefore the drilling programme in the NEA will include close-spaced drilling in anticipation of the presence of a high-grade

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 highgrade 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.

Drilling of the 1.3km Boonanarring Northern extension to Indicated Status would consist of 39 drill holes for 1,750m on a 200m x 40m drill grid covering a 1.3km stretch, with closer spacing across the eastern strand to delineate the high-grade core. Discussions for access for the remaining 1.3km of the 2.6km stretch is currently occurring with two separate landowners.

Erayinia Gold Drilling

High-grade gold results were obtained from fire assay analysis of 1m splits (Fig 8) 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. The drill programme has been successful in identifying strike continuity of the King mineralisation, which starts 350m to the south. A prospective shear zone is interpreted to extend the King mineralisation within the excised Prospecting Licences (P28/1320–21) to the north within Image Resource’s tenement (E28/1895). The mineralisation within the adjoining P28/1320– 21 is over 1km in length and is within a 150m-wide zone with maximum 1m gold intervals projected to surface.

The fire assay results (see IMA ASX Release 28 February 2019 show high grade gold intersections including 3m at 11.5g/t, which were much higher than the preliminary wet chemistry assays conducted on 4m composites, analysed by the aqua regia method (see IMA ASX Release 19 September 2018 for preliminary results).

The fire assay results on the 1m composites compared to the 4m composites analysed by aqua regia can be summarized as follows:

  • 3m at 11.5g/t Au from 92m including 2m at 16.6g/t Au from 93m (fire assays) compared to the 4m composite at 0.63g/t Au (aqua regia assays) from 92m in hole EYRC03;

  • 2m at 9.9g/t Au from 56m (fire assays) compared to the 4m composite at 1.04g/t Au (aqua regia assays) from 56m in hole EYRC01; and

  • 3m at 2.4g/t Au from 47m (fire assays) compared to the 4m composite at 0.40g/t Au (aqua regia assays) from 44m in hole EYRC01.

These promising results have been followed up with 9 RC holes totalling 1038m. This programme has several reasonable intersections including 4m at 2g/t from 80m in hole EYRC19, 4m at 1g/t from 84m in hole EYRC22, 8m at 1.4g/t from 92m in EYRC18 and 4m at 1.3g/t from 92m IN EYRC17. A number of 1m splits of the anomalous zones have been sent off to the laboratory for further analyses and these results will form the basis of a further drilling programme. The mineralised zone appears to be trending in a more NW direction rather than NNW and appear to be getting deeper heading northwards. Further drilling of this promising gold target is being planned.
