HIGHLIGHTS

  • Heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) sales increased 43% QoQ to a quarterly record high of 92.5kt and sales are expected to remain strong in December quarter to achieve guidance

  • Cash balance of A$50m and net cash position of A$22m at 30 September 2020

  • HMC production down 26% QoQ at 61kt with anticipated lower ore grades, however still tracking with guidance. Production forecast to bounce back in Q4 with higher ore grades

  • HMC realised price decreased 16% QoQ to A$534/t HMC due mainly to lower zircon grade in HMC due to temporarily blending down zircon grade in HMC sold per off-takers request

  • C1 and AISC cash costs per tonne of HMC sold decreased 24% and 25% QoQ respectively as a result of higher unit sales, and YTD costs tracking with guidance

  • Image remains on track to meet CY2020 guidance for production, sales volume and costs and guidance is unchanged

  • ➢ C1 and AISC cash costs per tonne HMC produced increased 47% and 46% QoQ respectively due primarily to lower HMC production and higher HMC transport and royalty costs from substantially higher HMC sales.

  • ➢ Net operating cash inflow YTD of A$46.8m.

  • ➢ At 30 September Image had a net cash position of A$22.4m (cash balance of A$50.2m less loan notes of A$27.8m).

  • ➢ HMC inventory decreased by 31kt to end the quarter at 83kt.

  • ➢ In July Image secured a master sales agreement for 100kt HMC with off-take partners Natfort and OZC, for delivery across a 3 to 5 month period starting in July 2020. 56kt was delivered during the quarter. Subsequently, an additional master sales agreement has been executed and a preliminary delivery schedule agreed for up to 130kt during the December quarter.

  • ➢ Prioritised exploration efforts under Project ‘MORE’ to identify new Ore Reserves to extend the mine life at Boonanarring continued in earnest and study work is currently underway to identify new Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves.

  • ➢ Sunrise Energy Group completed construction of the 2.3MW solar farm at Boonanarring, with first renewable energy power received in September.

ACTIVITIES REPORT

High Level Summary

Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) ( “Image” or “the Company” ) is pleased to report record sales across the September quarter from its 100%-owned, high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring mineral sands project, located 80km north of Perth in the North Perth Basin in WA.

Managing Director and CEO Patrick Mutz commented “It is gratifying to see the completion of another successful quarter of operations with no adverse effects from COVID-19, thanks to the continuing combined efforts of our employees and State and Federal actions to restrict travel. Success this quarter includes record HMC sales as China gains control of the spread of the virus and the Chinese economy shows strong signs of recovery. Record sales catapulted cash reserves to a net cash position over remaining debt and moves the Company one step closer to considering an offering of an inaugural dividend payment, and growing demand for our HMC product suggests December quarter sales will remain strong. Overall, despite the many challenges posed by the onset of COVID-19 on a local basis and globally, Image remains on track to meet its CY2020 guidance.”

Safety

There were no lost time injuries (LTI) recorded during the quarter and there were no confirmed or suspected cases of COVID-19 at any of the Company’s sites.

Image is committed to the promotion of a positive health and safety culture including safety programs 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.

The Company remains vigilant with respect to flu symptoms and maintains adherence to the modifications of its daily practices and procedures to minimise any potential impacts from COVID-19 to its stakeholders.

Community

Image continues to proudly contribute to the local community, including through local employment. At 30 September, 53% of its workforce lived locally to Boonanarring operations or within regional shires. The Company has an active and varied community support program. During the quarter this included the support of the Gingin Recreation Group through Cropping and Grazing Programs, which through sub-leasing, provides a revenue stream which the Group then directs back to community projects. On 20 October Sunrise Energy Group held the official opening of the solar power station at Boonanarring.

Mining and Processing

HMC production at Boonanarring was down 26% QoQ at 61.1kt following the very strong June Quarter production. HMC production was largely in line with expectations for the quarter due to anticipated lower ore grades. On a YTD basis, production is tracking with expectations and CY2020 production guidance of 300-330kt HMC is unchanged with higher grades anticipated for Q4 as higher grade ore is mined in Block A.

In early September, the Company reached a major milestone of a cumulative 500,000 tonnes of HMC produced since commencement of ore processing at Boonanarring in December 2018.

Image operated solely within Block B during the quarter. Ore production was predominantly from the Block B Eastern Strand, with the Western Strand blended as required to maintain grade consistency through the plant. The operation continued to encounter indurated material within the overburden and experienced minor instability in the eastern high wall of Pit B due to the intersection of perched aquifers. This did not materially impact production, which was broadly as expected for the quarter with ore processing of 950kt at an ore grade of 7.0% HM.

Costs

C1 and AISC cash costs per tonne HMC sold fell 24% and 25% respectively QoQ. C1 costs decreased to A$250/t HMC sold and AISC fell to A$286/t HMC sold. Both cost metrics were driven by an increase in total sales. CY2020 C1 guidance of A$290-320/t HMC sold and AISC guidance of A$340-370/t HMC sold are unchanged.

C1 and AISC cash costs per tonne HMC produced both increased 46% and 47% respectively QoQ. C1 costs increased to A$378/t HMC produced and AISC increased to A$433/t HMC produced. Cost increases per tonne HMC produced were driven by lower HM grades combined with increased logistics costs associated with an increase in tonnes shipped.

Total project cash operating costs were A$23.1m for the quarter and A$63.7m for the 9 months of CY2020. CY2020 guidance on project operating costs, on an accounting basis, of A$100-110m is unchanged.

Sales

During the quarter Image shipped a record quarter high 92.5kt HMC which was up 43% QoQ. Shipments were a nominal 30kt in July, 20kt in August and two shipments of a nominal 26kt and 20kt in September. The final shipment for the quarter sailed on 24 September with funds received before the end of the month.

During July Image signed a master sales agreement for 100kt of HMC with off-take partners Shantou Natfort Zirconium and Titanium Co., Ltd, (“Natfort”) and Guangdong Orient Zirconic Ind Sci & Tech Co., Ltd, (“OZC”), for deliveries across a 3 to 5 month period (at Image’s discretion) starting in July 2020. 56kt were delivered under this agreement during the quarter.

Subsequent to quarter end, an additional master sales agreement was signed and a preliminary shipping schedule has been agreed with off-takers Natfort and OZC for the sale of up to 130k tonnes of HMC for the December Quarter. In addition, letters of credit were received supporting two shipments in October for a nominal total of 50kt. The first of these shipments of a nominal 20kt sailed on 13 October and the remaining nominal 30kt is scheduled to commence loading on 26 October.

Realised pricing of A$534/t HMC was down 16% QoQ due to lower ZrO2 grades in the HMC as a result of temporary requests from the off-takers for higher TiO2 content in the HMC. Realised pricing was also negatively impacted by a slight strengthening of the AUD/USD exchange rate. Despite lower realised prices, overall revenue was up 20% on record high sales volumes.

Finished HMC inventory at the end of the quarter decreased to 83kt.

Financial Summary

Image’s revenue for the quarter was A$49.2m up 20% from A$41.1m in the prior quarter. The company generated A$31.4m of operating cash flow for the quarter, up over 300% from A$10.2m in the prior quarter. At 30 September Image had a net cash position of A$22.4m, with a cash balance of A$50.2m and outstanding loan notes of A$27.8m. The final shipment for the quarter sailed on 24 September with funds from the letter of credit received before the end of the month.

Guidance

CY2020 guidance is unchanged. In light of ongoing investment uncertainty in the global economy as a result of the increasingly volatile economic landscape stemming from the variety of business restriction measures enacted by governments world-wide, there remains a number of factors outside of Image’s control that could impact downstream demand for its end products and thereby affect sales guidance. Image is continually reassessing its guidance position.

Corporate

Given the Company’s strong cash position the Board will consider early repayment of the loan notes; provided doing so is value accretive to Image. Elimination of remaining debt will pave the way for the Board to consider an inaugural dividend, likely post announcement of the 2020 financial results.

On 13 July, Paradice Investment Management Pty Ltd issued a Form 604 indicating an increase in its shareholding to 64.2 million Image shares and increasing its voting power from 5.67% to 6.34%

On 2 September, the Company released its Interim Financial Report for the half year ended 30 June 2020 and reported underlying EBITDA of $45.5 million and a profit before tax of $19.4 million.

On 29 September, Murray Zircon Pty Ltd and related companies advised the market of an off-market disposal of 40 million Image shares reducing their combined interest to approximately 203.7 million shares or 20.8%. The Company issued an ASX announcement titled “Major Shareholder Update” on 23 September 2020 regarding this share sale.

Exploration

The Company’s exploration portfolio is almost exclusively focused on mineral sands except for one exploration licence with a focus on gold (see Table 6: Tenement Schedule). All tenements are in Western Australia and all mineral sands related tenements are located in the North Perth Basin across a combined area of 1,085 square kilometres.

The North Perth Basin tenements consist of 12 named project areas, each with identified Mineral Resources as presented in Table 7: Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Statement. Eight of these key project areas are presented in a location map (Figure 3) along with mineral assemblage pie charts.

The current priority of exploration efforts is on the zircon rich Boonanarring project area and the development of additional Mineral Resources for conversion to Ore Reserves under a formal program of work code-named Project ‘MORE’. The objective of Project MORE is to evaluate areas of mineralisation within economic pumping (or hauling) distance from the current location of the wet concentration plant (WCP), as rapidly as practicable. The goal of Project MORE is to identify two years of new Ore Reserves at Boonanarring prior to the end of December 2020.

Focus areas under Project MORE during this reporting period include the Boonanarring Northern Extension Area, Boonanarring North-western Extension Area, Boonanarring West (including Trandos Blue Lake) and Gingin North.

Page 8 of 27

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

Drilling programs are also being conducted on several other project areas to meet minimum expenditure requirements, investigate new mineralisation extensions and to advance the understanding and enhance the size of existing Mineral Resources.

Image no longer considers individual drilling results announced in the quarter to be material for the purposes of its quarterly reports. All material drilling results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves updates will be reported separately.

Drilling Programs

Several drilling programs were completed in the September Quarter for a total of 397 holes and 7,060m, mainly within 10km radius of the Boonanarring wet concentrator plant. Additional drilling is planned for the December quarter (Table 5: 818 holes for 19,200m planned). The main areas drilled this Quarter under Project MORE include Boonanarring North-western Extension area, Boonanarring Northern Extension area, Gingin North, and other project areas drilled include Atlas.

Boonanarring Northern Extension Area

An initial program has been completed over a 2.7km long within the direct northern extension of the Boonanarring Deposit with 107 holes totalling 3,890m made up of the east side of the newly acquired Atlit property and Brand Highway roadside drilling (Figure 4). There are many promising intercepts in this area, some of which include 10m at 22.2% HM from 25m in IM02098 and 8m at 31.7% HM from 25m in IM02087, 7m at 26.5% HM from 32m in IM02067 and 4m at 37.8% HM from 26m in IM02052. Figure 4 shows the promising intersections over the entire 2.7km length. All intersections greater than 10% HM were presented in Table form in a separate ASX announcement “Exploration Update – Project MORE” dated 26 October 2020.

Drill results show similarities to the high-grade eastern strand within the Boonanarring deposit. This program has shown that the high-grade core within the current Boonanarring Eastern strand likely extends into this area and appears to extend under the Brand Highway and potentially to the west of the Brand Highway within the North-eastern part of the newly acquired Atlit property.

Three cross sections (Figures 5-7) show the promising high-grade zones and the mineralised intercepts indicate a possible lower strip ratio if Ore Reserves are defined in this area.

As a result of promising results within Northern Extension Area from drilling in 2017 to 2019, Image purchased the Central Stockcare property Lot 503 on 6 February 2020 and Lot 501 Brand Hwy owned by Atlit on 11 August 2020. Further access is being sought from the landowner directly east of the Brand Highway to allow future mining studies to progress.

Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves Studies

Work is continuing collating drilling results and collecting composite samples for mineral assemblage determination to facilitate Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves studies. So far 23 composites for the Central Stockcare portion of the North-western Extension have been analysed. Further composites will be taken for the Atlit portion of the North-western Extension and the Brand Highway roadside and Atlit East portions of the Northern Extension, as well as Gingin North. The primary focus is the identification of new Ore Reserves and study results will be reported separately as they are finalized,

At this time, there is insufficient information to determine if any of the mineralisation identified under Project MORE will translate to Ore Reserves. In addition, due to the uncertainty of environmental permitting requirements in certain areas and substantial infrastructure encroachment in other areas, there is currently insufficient information to determine if any new Ore Reserves will be available for mining prior to the completion of mining and processing of current Ore Reserves at Boonanarring.

In any event, the Company has implemented plans and actions to advance preparations for the relocation of mining and processing equipment to the Atlas deposit once mining of all assessable Ore Reserves at Boonanarring is deemed complete. The move to Atlas has always been an integral part of continuation of mining operations for Image and was included in the Bankable Feasibility Study published in 2017. The only unknown was and remains whether additional Ore Reserves will be identified at Boonanarring to allow the move to be delayed. The determination of new Ore Reserves is scheduled to be finalised in the December quarter.

Gingin North

The Gingin North project (Figure 8) is still emerging as a priority area mainly because of the extension of the Boonanarring Piggery strand here, overlaying layer and the adjacent 48-55m RL strand.

==> picture [366 x 523] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 8 Metal Factors for Gingin North showing holes completed and some planned drilling

This Gingin North area lies just over 10km from the Boonanarring wet concentration plant (WCP) but may still be within economic pumping or hauling distance to be included for processing at the WCP if Ore Reserves are identified here. Infill drilling on the northern part of the Dalla Riva location, which contains the southern extension of the Piggery strand and is directly north of Gingin North, appears quite promising after 95 holes were completed for 2,002m.

The total length between Zagro – Dalla Riva and Gingin North for this southern extension of the piggery strand is 2.5km and is being reviewed for its potential for Ore Reserves.

Page 16 of 27

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

A central zone within the Gingin North area is up to 3km in length and is outlined in magenta Shallow Target Zone (Figure 8). This target is of interest because it outcrops and has high visual zircon values (up to 20%) and it has now been infill drilled. This surficial mineral (from 0-8m depth) has also been assayed as its extent is much larger than previously indicated as some areas were not previously assayed. A total of 33 composites have been prepared and are being analysed from the Gingin North strands and will be used in Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves studies scheduled for the December quarter.

The majority of the shallow infill holes have been completed including 211 holes totaling 2,050m (average 9.7m). A further 600m of drilling is planned to start in November. This program was designed verify mineral assemblages and Ore Reserves and to define the high-grade core within the deposit on a 10m spacing (Figure 9).

Figure 9 Atlas Metal Factors, Pit outline and cross section locations

New drilling results are confirming the mineralisation extents within the Ore Reserve and pit outlines shown (Figure 9). A further 30-40 composites will be compiled to facilitate Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve update studies which are scheduled to be completed in early 2021.

The nearby Hyperion and Helene deposits Mineral Resources are being updated so as to quantify potential Ore Reserves for processing through the WCP once it is relocated to the Atlas deposit. Up to 40 composite samples from infill drilling for each deposit will be compiled and assayed to determine update mineral assemblages for the determination of updated Mineral Resources and potential Ore Reserves. Previous composites were based on very widespread lines of drill holes.

Hyperion and Helene are within 10km pumping distance from Atlas. Discussions with landowners regarding carrying out further drilling programs within the Hyperion deposit are being progressed.
