ACTIVITIES REPORT
High Level Summary
Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) ( “Image” or “the Company” ) is pleased to report a strong second quarter and first half of production at 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 said “In the first half of 2020 Image has demonstrated strong operational performance with production of 167kt HMC, despite the significant adjustments to daily work practices aimed at minimising the potential spread of COVID-19. The June quarter represents a turning point for our sales volumes which were up sharply from the prior quarter. It was therefore particularly pleasing, subsequent to period end, to receive a sales agreement with our off-take partners for 100kt of HMC to be delivered over the next 3-5 months to monetise our HMC inventory, while keeping open the opportunity to sell additional material to others outside of the off-take agreements. The Company remains in a very strong position to achieve our original guidance and we have a strong balance sheet, solid underlying assets and exciting opportunities for future growth.”

Details
Safety
There were no lost time injuries (LTI) recorded during the quarter and there were no confirmed 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 employee, contractors, visitors and members of the community as well as protection of the environment.
The Company remains proactive in its COVID-19 response, maintaining strict adherence to the modifications of its daily practices and procedures recommended by regulatory and health officials to reduce the variety of potential risks posed by COVID-19 to its stakeholders.
Community
Image continues to proudly contribute to the local community, including through local employment. At 30 June, 48% 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 donation of PPE, including face masks, to local emergency services, and the support of the Gingin Recreation Group through a Cropping Program, which through sub-leasing, provides a revenue stream which the Group then directs to community projects.
Mining and Processing
Image completed another strong quarter at Boonanarring with HMC production of 82.9kt which was broadly in line with the recordsetting March Quarter and on pace with guidance. Consequently, CY2020 production guidance of 300-330kt HMC is unchanged.
Image operated solely within Block B during the quarter. Ore production was predominantly from the Block B Eastern Strand, with pre-stripping occurring within the Western Strand, prior to ore mining commencing in the Western Strand in May. The operation continued to encounter sections of indurated material within the overburden and experienced some 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 919kt at an ore grade of 9.5% HM.

Costs
C1 and AISC cash costs per tonne HMC sold both fell 23% QoQ. C1 costs decreased to A$330/t HMC sold and AISC fell to A$381/t HMC sold. Both cost metrics were driven by an increase in total sales. Given the strong quarterly cost results, 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 12% QoQ. C1 costs increased to A$257/t HMC produced and AISC increased to A$297/t HMC produced. Cost increases per tonne HMC produced were driven by higher overburden removal associated with the pre-strip requirements at the Western Strand of Block B, and higher logistics unit costs associated with smaller shipping parcel sizes.

Total project operating costs were A$23.5m for the quarter and A$44.8m for the half. As a result, CY2020 guidance on project operating costs of A$100-110m is unchanged.

Sales
During the quarter Image shipped 64.6kt HMC which was up sharply QoQ. Shipments were a nominal 20kt in April, 10kt in May and two shipments of a nominal 20kt and 10kt in June. The final shipment for the quarter sailed on 28 June with funds received in early July.
Subsequent to period end Image signed a sales agreement for 100kt of HMC to off-take partner 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. This 100kt sales agreement provides greater certainty for substantially higher sales in 2H than in 1H and for Image to meet its CY2020 sales guidance of 300-330kt HMC which is unchanged. The off-takers have signalled their intention to purchase additional HMC on a more timely basis after the current inventory has been monetised. In addition, Image continues to proactively seek to diversify its sales base through the sale of additional HMC to interested buyers outside of existing off-take agreements.
Realised pricing of A$637/t HMC was down 3% QoQ. Zircon prices weakened slightly and TiO2 grade in the HMC was slightly lower, but these negative impacts on price were partially offset by increasing TiO2 market prices and weakening AUD/USD exchange rate. HMC inventory at the end of the quarter decreased to 114kt following a peak of 120kt at the end of May.

Financial Summary
Image’s revenue for the quarter was A$41.1m up 39% from A$29.5m for the prior quarter. The company generated A$10.2m of operating cash flow for the quarter, up 96% from A$5.2m for the prior quarter. At 30 June Image had a net debt position of A$2.3m, with a cash balance of A$36.1m and outstanding loan notes of A$38.4m. The ending cash balance excluded cash from the payment for the final HMC shipment for the quarter which sailed on 28 June and for which funds from this sale were received in early July.
During the quarter the Company made cash payments of $250,333 to related parties and their associates. This was the aggregate amount paid to the directors for salary, directors’ fees, consulting fees and superannuation.
Guidance
As a result of the strong overall performance for the quarter, CY2020 guidance is unchanged. Even so, following the increasingly volatile economic landscape, Image would like to emphasise that there are a number of factors outside of its control that may impact downstream demand for its end products and therefore sales guidance. Image is continually reassessing its guidance position.

Exploration
The Company’s exploration portfolio is almost exclusively focused on mineral sands with the exception of one exploration licence with a focus on gold (see Table 6: Schedule of Tenements). All tenements are located 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 Southern Extension Area, Boonanarring Northern Extension Area, Boonanarring North-Western Extension Area, Boonanarring West (including Trandos Blue Lake) and Gingin North.
Drilling programs are also being conducted on a number of 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 to be material and therefore no longer reports these in 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 June Quarter for a total of 545 holes and 18,145m, mainly within 10km radius of the Boonanarring wet concentrator plant. Additional drilling is planned for the September and December quarters with 1,066 holes for 24,489m planned. (Table 5). The main areas drilled this Quarter under Project MORE include Boonanarring Blocks E and F (Boonanarring Southern Extension area), Boonanarring North-western Extension area, Boonanarring West (including Trandos Blue Lake) and Gingin North, and other project areas drilled were Atlas Southern Extension Area (Munbinia), Woolka and the Erayinia gold project.

Boonanarring Northern & North-western Extension Areas
This year Image has completed 72 holes for 1842m in the North-western Extension. This has outlined two strands that are each 1.2km long and total 250m in combined width, with both strands only having between 6-10 m of overburden. The strands appear to continue into the Atlit property to the north (Fig 4), which is based on the ground magnetic interpretation shown in pink. Importantly the ground magnetic targets within the Central Stockcare property directly south, have already been successful in the location of high-grade mineral sand strands (ASX Release 30 June 2020).

Figure 5: Perspective plot Boonanarring North-western strands showing elevated visual zircon estimates in green over thickened 15 to 20M zones and HM in red.
Composites have been made up and Qemscan analysis has been completed for inclusion in a resource study currently being planned. Results for 23 composites will be incorporated into initial Mineral Resources on the Central Stockcare North-western Strands in Q3. Also, mineral sands sizing results have been received for six samples for this same area, showing two distinct groupings of size ranges all within normal mineral sands parameters.
An additional budget has been approved for 199 holes totalling 5,379m for drilling mainly within the Atlit area.
From previous drilling, the direct extension of the Boonanarring high-grade, high-zircon Eastern strand has been identified by roadside drilling and by drilling on the east side of the Central Stockcare property, which Image now owns, and by drilling in the Snowdale Holdings property to the south. It is now known that this high-grade material continues for 5km north of the Boonanarring Deposit with a potentially lower strip ratio than for the main Boonanarring Deposit. Work is about to start on a 2.6km strip as part of an extensive road-side drilling program, which may be extended further north. Regulatory permission has recently been granted for the roadside program with an initial plan to include 77 holes totaling 3,126m (Figure 4).
Boonanarring Southern Extension Piggery strands
So far this year, 262 holes have been completed for 8,242m in the Piggery strands. The continuity of the mineralisation to the south into Blocks E and F covers a 3.5km distance which is currently being investigated (Figures 6 and 7)
The Piggery Western strand is showing promise visually and 119 holes totalling 4,524m have been drilled in this area.
There are two parallel strands 100m apart with the Western strand’s base of mineralisation around the 64-65mRL containing the highest grades visually. The western strand is up to 1.3km long with elevated visual zircon levels.

Boonanarring Southern Extension 65-75m RL
So far this year, 56 holes have been completed for 2,488m within Blocks E and F, over a strand that continues south of Block D for 770m, with its base around the 65-70mRL. Additional composite sampling is planned for areas showing elevated visual zircon (Figures 6 and 7) in support of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserve studies.

Figure 7: Perspective Plot Boonanarring Southern extension showing visual Zircon zones in green vs HM in red. Note elevated Zircon areas correlate with high HM zones.
Gingin North
The Gingin North area is still emerging as a priority area mainly because of the extension of the Boonanarring Piggery strand, overlaying layer and the adjacent 48-55m RL strand (Figures 8 and 9). So far this year, 150 holes for 4,229 m have been completed. Compositing for Qemscan analysis is due to commence to evaluate the mineralogy of these multiple strands. The Gingin North area lies just outside the 10km pumping distance of the Boonanarring Deposit but could still qualify as economic for pumping if the HM grade, mineral assemblage and mass of ore are sufficiently positive.
The Gingin North Project is showing some promise in terms of potential size, shallower depth and the prospect of multiple strands. However, HM grades are lower than at Boonanarring. A central zone up to 3km is outlined in purple (Figure 9). This is a target area of interest because mineralisation has been identified on the surface in one area and visually it appears the zircon values may be up to 20%. Drilling is planned for Q3 2020.

Erayinia Gold
The Erayinia tenement is a non-core asset at this time and drilling is being conducted to meet minimum expenditure requirements and to assess whether the tenement will be maintained.
A five-hole 1,081m program was completed in late June 2020 (Figure 10). This program was following up promising gold results from previous drilling completed by Image in 2018 and 2019 north of the excised King Prospect. Previously announced gold intersections in hole EYRC19 of 38m at 0.94g/t from 39m and 19m at 1.7g/t from 39m in hole EYRC01 are being followed up in the current program. Mineralogical laboratory fire assay gold analysis for the current 1,081m drill program will commence in July.

Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• Image’s supervising geologist logs the sample reject material at the rig and pans a small sub sample of the reject, to visually estimate the proportions of sands, heavy mineral sands, ‘slimes’ (clays), and oversize (rock chips) in each sample, in a semi-quantitative manner. • The geologist also logs colour, grainsize, an estimate of induration (a hardness estimate) and sample ‘washability’ (ease of separation of slimes from sands by manual attrition). • To preclude data entry and transcription errors, the logging data is captured into a digital data logger at the rig, which contains pre-set logging codes. No photographs of samples are taken. • The digital logs are downloaded daily and emailed to Image’s head office for data security and compilation into the main database server. • Samples visually estimated by the geologist to contain more than 0.5% HM (by weight) are dispatched for analysis along with the 1 m intervals above and below the mineralised interval. • The level and detail of logging is of sufficient quality to support any potential future Mineral Resource Estimates. • All (100%) of the drilling is logged. • Geotechnical logging is not possible for the style of drilling used; however, the logging is acceptable for metallurgical sample selection if required. |

| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
• The laboratory despatch samples are prepared by Western Geolabs (in Bellevue Western Australia) by drying the sample for 5 to 8 hrs in an oven at 110C. The dry weight is recorded using a laboratory digital scale. • The dried sample is then crushed (using manual pummelling) until all clay and sand materials in the sample pass through a 3.3 mm screen. In samples where (>3.3 mm) rock fragments are found after pummelling and screening, the mass of the fragments is recorded, and the material discarded. • The <3.3 mm sample is then hand mixed prior to splitting through a single tier riffle splitter (16 chutes each with 8 mm aperture), as many times as required to prepare a 100 g ± 5 g sub sample. The actual mass retained is recorded using a laboratory digital scale. • The riffle splitter sub sample is then wetted, undergoes further manual attrition to break up clays, before the <63m clays (slimes) are washed from the sample (de-sliming) using a jet wash and 63m screen. • The <63m slimes (clays) are discarded and the >63m sub sample is placed in a metal tray and oven dried. When dry, the >63m sub sample is put through a 1 mm sieve and the mass of the screen oversize (>1 mm) is recorded on a digital balance. The oversize is then discarded. • The de-slimed sand fraction (>63m & < 1mm) sub sample is then weighed on a digital scale before being separated into two fractions by mixing the sample in a glass separation funnel with a heavy liquid (TBE) of density 2.95 g/cm3. |

| • Once sufficient time has passed to allow the sample to separate and settle, the <2.95 g/cm3, ‘floats’ fraction is collected and discarded. • The <2.95 g/cm3, ‘sinks’ fraction is collected from the funnel into a filter paper, then washed with acetone to remove the TBE. The sinks are then dried, and the mass recorded on a digital scale. • From the process above the laboratory reports the wet mass received, dry received mass, the mass of (>3.3 mm) rock fragments or coarse oversize (if any), the mass of the 100 g± 5 g, sub sample, and the mass of the (HM) sink fraction. • The procedure can be considered a total analysis for mass concentration of heavy minerals in each sample. The method is also consistent with best industry practices employed by mineral sands explorers in the Perth Basin region. • For quality control the laboratory: • Uses certified masses to verify daily the accuracy of all laboratory mass scales. • Prepares a replicate sample at a frequency of 2 for every 25 routine samples analysed. • Uses a hydrometer to test daily the density of the TBE used for HM separation • For each laboratory dispatch (ranging from 150 to350 samples) Image includes blind standard reference samples (SRMs) that contain known (to Image) concentrations of heavy and valuable heavy minerals. Image inserts the SRMs, at a frequency of 1 in 30 sample submitted to the laboratory for resource style drilling. Image submitted 3 SRM’s for the resource style drilling subject to this release. • Image selected and submitted for analysis 7 field-replicate samples from field-sample replicates collected to quantify field sampling precision. • Blanks samples for testing of cross contamination are not deemed necessary for the style of mineralisation under consideration |

• The logging of significant intersections reported in this release has been verified by alternative company personnel. • No twin holes have been drilled in the current program. • Logging is captured at the rig using a data recorder, downloaded daily and emailed to head office data services for incorporation into the main database. • Assay results from the laboratory are received by email in standard spreadsheet templates and merged with logging results in-house. • There are no adjustments to original laboratory results. |
| Location of data points |
• Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. • Specification of the grid system used. • Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
• The drill hole collar locations are captured by one of Image’s rig team following the completion of each drill hole, using a handheld GPS with nominal accuracy of±15 m. Elevations have also been determined with hand-held GPS and this adjusted post drilling using DEM data. More accurate locations will be determined in future by a registered surveyor using DGPS equipment where necessary. • The grid system for reporting results is the MGA Zone 50 projection and the GDA94 elevation datum. • No topographic control has been considered at this time. |
| Data spacing and distribution |
• Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. • Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. • Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
• The drill holes reported in this release are located at several prospects on varied spaced drill lines (between 100 m and 200 m) along the strike of mineralised strands. • No sample compositing has been applied – all results are from 1 m long down hole sample intervals. |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
• Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. • If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
• All drill holes are vertical and intersect sub- horizontal strata. As such Image considers that it is highly unlikely that the orientation of drilling relative to the well understood structure of minerals sands strands, would result in a sampling bias. |

| Geology | • | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• Boonanarring is hosted in the Perth Basin, in the Pleistocene Yoganup Formation on the eastern margin of the Swan Coastal Plain. • The Yoganup Formation is a buried pro-graded shoreline deposit, with dunes, beach ridge and deltaic facies. This formation lies unconformably over the Lower Cretaceous Leederville Formation and is overlain by the Pleistocene Guildford Formation and the Quaternary Bassendean Sand. • The Yoganup Formation consists of unconsolidated poorly sorted sands and gravels, with local interstitial clay and heavy minerals that occur sporadically along the Gingin Scarp, which is interpreted to be an ancient shoreline that was stable during a period of marine regression. • Boonanarring has two major strandlines of heavy minerals, which are interpreted to have been deposited during the Pleistocene in a notch in the local basement rock that may represent an ancient sea cliff. Lower grade mineralisation is present in the sands overlying the higher-grade strandlines. • The basement to the strandline mineralisation is identified by the increased slimes content of the Leederville Formation or at the base of the Yoganup Formation. • Mineralisation within this has high zircon concentrations. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• • • • |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths of low- grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• No weighting or cutting of HM values, other than averaging of duplicate and repeat analyses. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• • • |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• The geometry of the mineralisation is effectively horizontal and the vertical drillholes give the approximate true thicknesses of mineralisation. |
| Diagrams | • | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Refer to text. |
| Balanced reporting |
• | Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced avoiding misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• HM intersections from the AC drilling have been reported in this release outlining the high-grade Boonanarring Northwestern Extension, Boonanarring Southern Extension, Blocks C, D, E & F and Boonanarring Blue Lake |
| Other substantive exploration data |

• Feasibility Study results for the Boonanarring Deposit were announced on the 30thMay 2017 and a 60% increase in Ore Tonnes in “Proved” Category Ore Reserves at Boonanarring was announced on 21stAugust 2017. Boonanarring Ore Reserve Update announced on the 20 December 2019 showed a 24% higher ore grade, a 50% increase in the in-situ zircon grade and a 33% reduction in the tonnes. |
