ACTIVITIES REPORT

High Level Summary

The Company successfully completed its first full quarter as an active mining company at its 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich 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 was very positive with heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production, product sales and revenue all higher than budgeted, while project operating costs were substantially lower than budgeted. The net result being demonstrated profitability with project operating margin and EBITDA at 400% of budget. Unfortunately, cashflow was lower than it could have been due as the receipt of AU$10M cash from the sale of the third shipment of HMC being received in the first week of April.

Another positive outcome was the identification of the likely presence of a high-grade Core in the eastern strand of the Boonanarring deposit which may not have been adequately delineated by the typical 15-20m drill spacings used to determine the current Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Once a close-spaced drilling programme, designed to adequately delineate the Core, is completed, the Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves will be re-estimated and could result in a positive upgrade of the overall Ore Reserve. The close-spaced drilling programme commenced on 1 April 2019.

Details

Zero Lost Time Injuries

The Company completed its first full quarter of mining and ore processing operations with zero lost time injuries. This completes 12 months site operations, including project construction, commissioning and four months of operations, with zero lost time injuries. The Company remains committed to the promotion of a safety culture including safety programmes and procedures that 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: January 2019 was only the second month of the production ramp-up period and HMC production of 25,492 tonnes not only exceeded budget, but also exceeded the long-term, full-scale average monthly production rate of 20,000 tonnes of HMC. This result implies the Boonanarring project ramped-up to full-scale production in only two months.

HMC production for February and March also exceeded budget (Figure 1), such that HMC production for the quarter was 167% of budget with the surplus production of 27.6K tonnes amounting to 1.4 months of production at the long-term, full-scale average monthly production rate of 20,000 tonnes.

Figure 1 – HMC Production

==> picture [309 x 195] intentionally omitted <==

Ore Feed Grade: The primary reason for the higher HMC production was substantially higher ore grade. The average ore grade forecast in the budget for the quarter was 6.3% heavy minerals (HM), however the actual average ore grade was 11.1% HM or 176% of budget [or a variance of 76%; (actual – budget)/budget)]. Refer Figure 2.

As announced to the ASX on 14 March 2019 (Image Resources Targeting Ore Reserve Upgrade at Boonanarring in Response to Substantially Higher than Expected Ore Grades) this higher ore grade is believed to be due to the presence of a very high-grade horizontal Core running along strike within the eastern strandline that may not have been adequately delineated using the standard 15-20 metre drill hole spacing typically used for mineral sands deposits. A close-spaced drilling programme (2.5-5m spaced holes on 50m lines) has been designed to address the high variability of ore grade in the Core.

The close-spaced drilling programme commenced on 2 April 2019 and the full programme of drilling, analysis, Mineral Resources estimate, mine modelling and Ore Reserve determination is anticipated to be complete near the end of June 2019.

Figure 2 – Ore Grade

==> picture [318 x 185] intentionally omitted <==

Zircon Grade in Ore: In addition to higher HM ore grade, analysis of HM indicates it contains a significantly higher concentration of zircon than estimated in the Ore Reserve (Figure 3). A simple comparison of Figure 2 and 3 indicates the higher the HM grade, the higher the zircon concentration in the HM. On average, the zircon grade in the ore assayed 29% higher than estimated in the ore reserve for the ore processed in this quarter. If this trend continues throughout the Ore Reserve, it has the potential to have a significant impact on overall revenue as zircon represents more than 80% of total revenue.

==> picture [330 x 196] intentionally omitted <==

Ore Feed Rate: The ore processing rate to the feed preparation plant (FPP) was lower than budgeted in February and again in March (Figure 4). Total ore processed during the quarter was significantly lower than budgeted at 664K tonnes versus a budget of 762K tonnes. The primary contributor to the lower ore feed rates is due to the unexpected high ore grade which results in HMC production that exceeds the current capacity of the HMC cleaning and dewatering circuits, and which requires the ore feed rate to be reduced. Work is underway to identify required design changes to increase the capacity of these circuits to accommodate higher ore grades at higher ore processing rates.

The second contributor to lower ore feed rate is limited capacity of the FPP trommel when processing ore with higher clay content, generally from the western ore strand. Options to expand the trommel screening capacity, including replacement with a larger unit, are being evaluated as a matter of priority.

Figure 4 – Ore Feed Rate

==> picture [308 x 196] intentionally omitted <==

Operating Summary: With exception to the ore processing rate, all other operating statistics for the quarter exceeded budget targets. In March 2019, the HM Recovery target was decreased to 86% as a step to increase overall quality of the HMC. This change was successful as the heavy minerals not recovered are non-valuable.

Mining

Overburden removal and ore mining by contractor Piacentini & Son continued successfully throughout the reporting period. Overburden removal and ore mining is progressing according to the mine schedule. Ore was mined from both the western and eastern strandlines. Due to the extreme ore grade variability (2% to 45+% HM), ore blending continues to be a key element of mine scheduling and control. Piacentini also continues to construct solar cells for slimes disposal and more recently commenced construction of the first in-pit embankment to facilitate a transition to co-disposal of tailings sands and slimes.

HMC Sales

A total of three bulk shipments of HMC were completed (one per month) during the reporting period. Total dry metric tonnes (DMT) shipped were 47,947 or 106% of 45,000 DMT budget (see 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.

Revenue

Total revenue for the first three shipments of HMC was AU$24.8M or 106% of $23.4M budget. Average revenue per DMT HMC sold was slightly lower than budget ($517 vs. $521) due to lower quality product during initial stages of operation and due to a softening of standard grade zircon prices. The quality of the HMC improved rapidly in January and February to target levels at greater than 90% HM and continued to improve in ZrO2 content throughout the quarter.

Revenue was restrained by sales but not by production, as HMC production outstripped HMC sales, leading to an inventory buildup of 38.5K tonnes HMC at the end of March. The Company is actively seeking additional buyers outside of the current off-take agreements for the surplus production, as this unanticipated extra production has taxed the current off-takers’ capacity in the short-term.

Operating Costs

Project operating costs were substantially lower than budget at $15.5M or only 72% of $21.3M budget for the quarter. Similarly, project operating ‘unit’ costs were lower than budget at $322/t HMC sold or 68% of $473/t budgeted costs. Costs including exploration and corporate were $355/t HMC sold or 67% of $526/t budget.

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

Operating Margin and EBITDA

Overall average margin of $195 per DMT HMC Sold (unit revenue minus unit project operating costs) was substantially higher than budget of $48, due to lower project operating costs and favourable USD:AUD exchange rate. As a result, EBITDA for the quarter was also substantially higher at $9.3M compared to a budget of $2.1M.

Cash

Cash at the end of the quarter was $7.4M excluding $10M from the sale of HMC shipment No. 3 which sailed on 27 March 2019 but with receipt of funds from the letter of credit delayed until early April. Shipment No. 3 originally scheduled for mid-March was delayed to the end of the month due to ship availability.

Foreign Exchange Rate

For the second consecutive quarter the USD:AUD foreign exchange rate (FX) remained favourable ending the quarter below 0.71. The current budget is based on an assumed FX of 0.74.

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. However, due to weaker than expected economic conditions in China, the market price for standard grade zircon decreased during the quarter by US$60-90/t to US1,425-1,475/t. The price drop is believed to be due to a softening of demand and inventory holders lowering selling prices to maintain cashflows. This situation is thought to be temporary as the underlying fundamentals of supply/demand remain positive for zircon.

Corporate

The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 31 December 2018 were filed on 31 January 2019.

The Company approved a detailed budget for calendar year (CY) 2019 and published annual guidance for production, costs, revenue and EBITDA on 18 February 2019 (ASX announcement - Image Resources CY 2019 Guidance).

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.

  • A total of 97 aircore infill holes have now been completed for 3770m in Boonanarring Block C with results pending and forms part of a larger 208 hole 10,400m drill programme planned initially in Blocks A, B and C with average depths of 50m to allow accurate wireframing of this high-grade zone

  • 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 35 drillholes was completed this quarter. A program of 126 holes totalling 3150m is planned for 2019 mainly focused on the northern parts of the Boonanarring West target area, which will allow conversion of the northern Boonanarring West mineralisation to an Indicated JORC category.

  • At Erayinia 10 RC holes for 1200m have been completed (results pending) to follow up fire assay results on 1m splits, which identified three, high-grade anomalous gold zones not previously defined by 4m composite sample chemical assays, and include intercepts of 3m at 11.5g/t Au from 92m including 2m at 16.6g/t Au from 93m in hole EYRC03; 2m at 9.9g/t Au from 56m in hole EYRC01; and 3m at 2.4g/t Au from 47m in hole EYRC01.

Boonanarring Northern Extension

The Company is still in discussions with three 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 drillholes 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 drillhole 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.

The grade is similar to Block A (double the average grade at half the strip ratio. Drilling of the Boonanarring Northern extension to Indicated Status would consist of 78 drillholes for 3500m on a 200m x 40m drill grid covering a 2.6km stretch, which is subject to access on three properties.

Boonanarring Mine Drilling

An infill programme on a 5m x 50m spacing has started with a corroborating detailed ground magnetic programme which will measure every 0.5m x 25m and help resolve the various highest-grade zones and map them in more detail and potentially discriminate more than one zone.

This very high-grade core zone is continuous through Blocks A, B and the northern part of C and resembles a horizontal cylinder in shape and is defined by the greater than 150GT contour. A large 10,400m drill programme is planned initially in Block B and C, comprising 206 AC holes for 10400m with an average depth of 50m. This will allow accurate wireframing of this high-grade zone.

So far 97 holes have now been completed for 3770m in Block C (Figure 2) and results are pending from the laboratory.

Another consideration is for more detailed zircon assays and composite work down the hole. This is important as the zircon gives 75% of the value of the project and all detailed variations should evaluated. Often mining companies with higher zircon content deposits take Zircon assays every metre down the hole. An XRF logger has been ordered and will be trialled on some of the HM sachets and compared to the Qemscan analyses.

This very high-grade core zone is continuous through Blocks A, B and the northern part of C and resembles a horizontal cylinder in shape and is defined by the greater than 150GT contour (grade x thickness) as shown in Figure 2 and this infill programme is almost half completed.

Boonanarring West

Page 9 of 25

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

After recent drilling at Boonanarring West and further ground magnetic interpretation a much larger target is outlined being 10000m x 300m, only is only 600m west of the Boonanarring Resource. The overall grade appears strongest in the northern parts of the Boonanarring West target after several drilling programmes. For this reason, most of the proposed drilling will be focused on the northern area.

To convert the northern Boonanarring West mineralisation to an Indicated JORC category, a 126 drillhole programme is planned for 2019 (Fig. 3). Of these 20 aircore holes have been drilled for 614m in the March 2019 quarter and assays are pending. Composite test work will be carried out to work out the percentage of zircon within the HM suite. The mineralisation is open to the SSE and is at a lower RL of 50–55 ASL compared to 65–70 ASL for the Boonanarring Resource.

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.

Recent Qemscan and mini bulk testing suggest a lowering of the Leucoxene content moving north of the resource with increased altered Ilmenite. This variation can only be accurately defined by more drilling and bulk composite test work. The two mineralised zones are up to 35m thick and below the water table.

The Historical Resource of 44Mt at 3% HM @ 1% cut off is over a 6km length and our Exploration Target is 125–150Mt at 2– 3%HM with a 0.5% cut off.

Page 10 of 25

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

A 106-hole programme totalling 5618m is planned mainly north and south of the Moore River to outline the detailed variation in the leucoxene contents, which appears critical for the economics of this deposit (Fig. 5) following an extensive 30km environmental survey (botanical, banksia, dieback and heritage) completed in early October 2018. Of these 5 aircore holes have been drilled for 260m in the March 2019 quarter and results are pending.

Atlas Southern Extension drilling at Munbinia and Munbinia West and dredge target drilling at Woolka

The Woolka Dredge Target area is very large being 10km[2] and has potential for a very large resource. A 13-hole drilling programme was completed in the December Quarter. The results were encouraging, allowing Image to focus on the next major drilling programme in 2019. A major drilling programme of 94 holes totalling 3760m in 2019 is designed to locate a strategic world-class dredgeable deposit adjacent to Tronox’s Cooljarloo 2000t/h dredging operation. This drilling will permit an Inferred/Indicated Resource to be calculated. Mineralisation is adjacent to and on direct strike with Tronox’s Cooljarloo West dredging proposal area.

At Munbinia the southern extension of the Atlas Deposit (6.5km) will be tested by a 160-hole programme totalling 3200m over a potential 3km southern extension.

An 18-hole programme at Munbinia West was completed to test for new mineralisation over a km-long target area, which is only 3km west of the Atlas Deposit (Fig. 6). Only low-grade mineralisation was detected.

Erayinia Gold Drilling

High-grade gold results were obtained from fire assay analysis of 1m splits (Figs 7 and 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.

As a result of these upgraded gold results, more anomalous zones will be analysed by fire assay over the 1m split intervals and a follow-up programme of 10 RC holes for 1200m has just finished and samples are being sent to the laboratory for analysis. This drill programme is designed to test the extent of the above high-grade zones (Figures 8 and 9) and includes 4 additional drill lines over a 500m strike length, to test for the potential NNW extent of this high-grade gold mineralisation.

The recently completed RC drilling programme of 7 RC holes (EYRC07 to EYRC13) totalling 337m is now considered of limited effectiveness as some of the holes drilled only went to a vertical depth of around 45m, which is too shallow to pick up the above high-grade gold zones, which start around 50m and are expected to deepen going to the north. The next drill programme will be to an average depth of 136m. The most southern drill line will start adjacent to the King mineralisation to the south ( Figure 8 ) which was drilled by WMC in 1998–99 and Integra in 2003–07.

The intersections in EYRC01 are 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.
