Completion of Construction at Boonanarring
During the reporting period, development of the initial box-cut of the mine and construction of the wet concentration plant (WCP), ancillary facilities and supporting infrastructure at the Boonanarring Project were deemed sufficiently complete as at 25 October to allow commencement of wet commissioning (refer ASX announcement dated 25 October 2018 Commencement of Commissioning at Boonanarring).
Finalisation of remaining construction items including the upgrade of the Brand Highway intersection were deem complete as at 30 November. Overall, project construction was completed ‘on-time’ and ‘onbudget’ in accordance with the latest published project development schedule and approved budget.
Successful Completion of Wet Commissioning
Wet commissioning of the Ore Feed Preparation Plant (FPP) and WCP and associated interconnecting pipelines, storage tanks and ponds commenced on water on 26 October. Following initial testing and calibration of pumps and flowmeters, ore was introduced to the FPP/WCP to test and calibrate density gauges, slimes removal cyclones, heavy mineral separation spirals, tails disposal and HMC dewatering circuits.
Overall, wet commissioning was completed expeditiously (5 weeks) and very successfully with approximately 100K tonnes of ore processed, and with the ore processing rate and operating availability on numerous days substantially exceeding expectations.
First HMC was produced on 19 November and on 26 November first HMC was transported to a storage shed near the Bunbury Port in preparation for export (refer ASX announcements dated 19 and 27 November 2018). Wet commissioning was declared complete on 30 November.

Transition to Active Mining Company
The Company transitioned from project development to active mining company with the start of production on 1 December 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 4 December 2018 Production Rampup Period at Boonanarring Commences). December was the first month of a planned six-month production ramp-up schedule as assumed in the Boonanarring bankable feasibility study (BFS) published in May 2017 (refer ASX announcement dated 30 May 2017 Strong Bankable Feasibility Study Results Boonanarring/Atlas Project).
While the BFS ramp-up schedule assumed six months to achieve full-scale ore processing rate of 500 dry tonnes per hour at 85% operating availability and production of 20,000 tonnes of HMC per month, the budgeted ramp-up schedule is only three months, and the actual production statistics for December exceeded budgeted expectations.
Production highlights for December include higher ore processing rate (avg. 364 vs 300 tph budgeted); more operating hours (639 vs 558); greater operating availability (85.8% vs 75%); higher ore grade (7.3% vs 6.1% HM); higher HM recovery (85% vs 72%); higher HMC production (15,900 vs 7,200 tonnes); and higher HMC product quality (91% vs 85% HM); while overall operating costs per tonne of HMC produced were lower than budgeted.
Receipt of First Revenue from Sale of HMC Product
As a result of the higher than budgeted HMC production rate, a planned shipment of 5,000 tonnes of HMC for December was postponed to allow for a larger shipment so as to minimise unit shipping costs. Consequently, the first sale of HMC product was completed on 13 January 2019, with the export of a bulk shipment of 10,000 tonnes under a life-of-mine HMC off-take agreement with Shantou Natfort Zirconium and Titanium Co., Ltd. The shipment was secured by a letter of credit which was available to convert to cash following the submission of appropriate shipping documents. As a result, first revenue was received on 22 January 2019.
A second shipment of up to 20,000 tonnes HMC is being planned for February. Importantly, 20,000 tonnes per month of HMC production is the forecast long-term average production rate of HMC at design capacity.
Corporate
The Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Reports for the period ending 30 September 2018 were filed on 31 October 2018.
The Company is finalising approvals of a detailed budget for calendar year 2019 and is planning to provide Q1 2019 production, revenue and costs guidance in the coming weeks.

ACTIVITIES REPORT
High Level Summary
During the reporting period, the Company successfully completed the fast-tracked project development of its 100%-owned, highgrade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project located 80km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in WA. Project construction was completed on-time as scheduled and in line with the approved capital expenditures budget. Final construction, along with a very successful 5-week processing plant wet commissioning phase, were completed at the end of November, followed by the transition to active mineral sands mining company in December 2018 with operating statistics substantially better than budgeted for the first month of a production ramp-up period.
Subsequent to the end of the reporting period, the first bulk shipment of heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) product was exported under a life-of-mine off-take agreement, resulting in receipt of first revenue on 22 January 2019. The Company remains committed to achieving positive cash flow at the end of 1[st] QTR 2019.
Details
Zero Lost Time Injuries
There were no lost time injuries and a total of four reportable injuries throughout the construction and commissioning period and first month of production, spanning 8 months through the end of December 2018. The Company is 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 and protection of the environment.
Completion of Construction at Boonanarring Project
During the reporting period, project construction at Boonanarring was completed. Construction was spear-headed by the project management team from ProjX and the construction team from LGM Industries.
The first stage was completion of construction of areas and items necessary for the start of wet commissioning of the Ore Feed Preparation Plant (FPP); wet concentration plant (WCP); water storage, delivery and storage systems; tailings system; HMC dewatering system; and supporting pipelines and pumping systems. This stage was completed on 25 October 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 25 October 2018 Commencement of Commissioning at Boonanarring).
The balance of construction was declared complete on 30 November 2018, coincident with the successful completion of wet commissioning, which allowed the company to transition to production effective 1 December. Finalised construction items included completion of the Brand Highway intersection upgrade and mining of the western strand of Boonanarring mineralisation to create ore stockpile inventory for commencement of production.
Overall, project construction was completed ‘on-time’ and ‘on-budget’ in accordance with the published project development schedule and approved capital expenditures budget.
Successful Completion of Wet Commissioning
Wet commissioning of the FPP and WCP and associated interconnecting pipelines, storage tanks and ponds commenced on water on 26 October. Following necessary leak testing and adjustments, testing and calibration of pumps, flowmeters and instrumentation was conducted. On 18 November, ore was introduced to the FPP and testing and calibration of slurry density gauges, slimes removal cyclones, heavy mineral separation spirals, tails disposal and HMC dewatering circuits.
Testing and calibration was followed by more continuous operation with ore to establish and/or confirm system balances and testing of slimes separation efficiency, heavy mineral separation, HMC de-watering and slimes and sand tails handling and disposal, as well as overall water recovery and recycle capacities.
Overall, wet commissioning was completed successfully on a compressed timescale of only 5 weeks. Approximately 100K tonnes of ore were processed during the latter stages of commissioning and the ore processing rate and operating availability substantially exceeded expectations on numerous days.
During wet commissioning, the first HMC was produced on 19 November (refer ASX announcement dated 19 November 2018 Production of First HMC Concentrate), and the first truckloads of HMC were transported to storage shed near the Bunbury Port in preparation for export (refer ASX announcement dated 27 November 2018). Wet commissioning was declared complete on 30 November.

Transition to Active Mining Company
The Company transitioned from project development to active mining company with the start of production on 1 December 2018 (refer ASX announcement dated 4 December 2018 Production Ramp-up Period at Boonanarring Commences). December was the first month of a planned six-month production ramp-up schedule as assumed in the Boonanarring bankable feasibility study (BFS) published in May 2017 (refer ASX announcement dated 30 May 2017 Strong Bankable Feasibility Study Results Boonanarring/Atlas Project).
While the BFS ramp-up schedule assumed six months to achieve full-scale ore processing rate of 500 dry tonnes per hour at 85% operating availability and production of 20,000 tonnes of HMC per month, the budgeted ramp-up schedule was only three months, and the actual production statistics for December even exceeded budgeted production expectations.
Production highlights for December include higher ore processing rate (Figure 1). In addition, December operating statistics included a higher number of operating hours than budgeted; greater operating availability; higher ore grade; higher HM recovery and higher HMC quality (see Table 1). The net result was substantially higher HMC production (Figure 2). See Photo 1 for HMC stockpile inventory at end of December.
In addition, operating costs per tonne of HMC were lower than budgeted.

Receipt of First Revenue from Sale of HMC Product
The original budget called for a 5,000-tonne bulk shipment of HMC to be sold in December 2018. However due to the stellar production rates during December, a decision was made to postpone that shipment and allow a larger shipment of 10,000 tonnes so as to minimise unit shipping costs. Due to the end of year holiday period, the first shipment was delayed to January 2019.
On 13 January 2019, the Company completed the first sale of HMC product with the export of a nominal 10,000-tonne (dry) bulk shipment from the Bunbury port (Photo 2). The sale was made under a life-of-mine HMC off-take agreement with Shantou Natfort Zirconium and Titanium Co., Ltd (Natfort). Pricing was market-based and the shipment was secured by a guaranteed letter of credit provided by Natfort in advance of ship loading and which was available to convert to cash following ship sailing and presentation of appropriate shipping documents for bank approval. Consequently, Image received its first revenue on 22 January 2019.

Mining
Overburden removal and ore mining by contractor Piacentini & Son continued successfully throughout the reporting period. Mining of ore from the lower grade Western Strand was conducted in the first instance to prepare space for sand tails disposal and provide ore for the wet commissioning and initial stage of production. From mid-December, ore was mined from the higher grade Eastern Strand (Photo 3) for processing in the latter half of December to confirm metallurgical performance.

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, the benchmark premium grade zircon price (Zircon Benchmark Price) to be used to determine the standard grade price of Image’s zircon in its Heavy Mineral Concentrate product (being the price quoted by FerroAlloyNet in China for Iluka premium grade zircon), increased by 12% to US$1,625 per tonne (middle of range). The price for Tronox Limited’s premium grade zircon is slightly 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 supply of zircon to continue to 2022-23, underpinning predictions of strong zircon prices at current levels or higher for the foreseeable future.
Exploration Highlights
-
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 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 Bidaminna, a 100kg bulk sample of drill cuttings from the mineralised zone across two lines of drillholes across the deposit, was composited and processed through wet and dry mineral separation testing, to determine the preliminary quality of potential Leucoxene products. This bulk testing has shown larger variations in the leucoxene content than previously thought. For this reason, more drilling is planned in 2019 to outline a detailed variation in the Leucoxene contents prior to any economic studies.
-
At Munbinia the southern extension of the Atlas Deposit (6.5km) will be tested by a 160-hole programme looking for a potential 3km extension.
-
The Woolka dredge target area is very large being 10km[2] in size and has potential for a very large resource. A 13hole drilling programme was completed in the December Quarter, which was positive, allowing Image to refocus the next round of extensive drilling. 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.
-
At Erayinia a best gold intersection from our recent drilling of 20m @ 0.7g/t Au from 40m including 4m @ 1.2g/t from 48 and 4m @ 1.0g/t. from 56m will be followed up in 2019 with a programme of 20 RC holes to map out goldenhanced supergene zone prior to deeper RC drilling.

Boonanarring Northern Extension
The Company is still 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 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. 3).
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.

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 35-hole drill program was completed in the December Quarter mainly towards the northern part of the Boonanarring West mineralisation extension zone. 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. 4).
A 126-hole programme totalling 3150m is planned for 2019 mainly initially focused on the northern part of this Boonanarring West target (Fig. 4) because the drilling to date has highlighted the higher grades in this area. This drilling will allow Image to convert the northern Boonanarring West mineralisation to an Indicated JORC category.

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. This bulk testing has shown larger variations in the leucoxene content than previously thought over the 3 lines. For this reason, more drilling is planned in 2019.
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.

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 Initial Gold Drilling
Encouraging results were obtained from first-pass drilling of 6 reverse circulation (RC) drillholes totalling 650m (Fig. 7) 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.
==> picture [284 x 405] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7. Ground magnetics at Erayinia showing max. gold (1m) from previous drilling projected to surface and planned drilling up to 3.5km to the northwest
Image Resources’ drilling (Fig. 7) shows 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 in EYRC001 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.
Work in 2019 will include an initial 20 RC drillholes spaced 50m on 200m spaced lines and to a depth of 75m (Fig. 7), to help identify and map the anomalous Au within the clay/bedrock interface where the supergene gold is present, prior to further and deeper RC drilling. These holes are just to the north of the recent 20m at 0.7g/t Au from 40m intersection. 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.
