ACTIVITIES REPORT
High Level Summary
Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) ( “Image” or “the Company” ) is pleased to report a strong first quarter 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.
Despite the Company having to make significant adjustments to its day to day operating procedures during the quarter, in response to State and Commonwealth guidelines regarding travel restrictions and adoption of numerous protective measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, mining and HMC production at Boonanarring remained largely unaffected. Production statistics include quarterly record high ore tonnes processed and HMC production.
HMC sales were lower than planned for the quarter due to the 3rd shipment of 3 planned being delayed into April due to berth congestion of incoming and outgoing cargo at the Bunbury port. Importantly, the realised price for HMC sold remained in line with the average price for the December quarter, despite the continuing softening of the zircon price which was again largely offset by rising TiO2 prices and a more favourable AUD/USD exchange rate.
Record HMC production and lower than forecast HMC sales have served to further increase finished HMC inventory to approximately 96k tonnes which represents more than three months of HMC production.
Cash costs remained in line with guidance, and while unit costs for HMC sold were higher quarter on quarter (due to lower sales), unit costs for HMC produced were lower than the December quarter.
As a result of the strong operational performance during the quarter, annual guidance for production, costs and sales volume remain unchanged.
Cashflow from operations was A$5.2m and cash balance at 31 March was A$41.2m despite the sale of only 2 of the planned 3 HMC shipments and cash outflows for the payment of the 2nd of 7 quarterly repayments of debt and for a strategic purchase of land in the Boonanarring Northern Extension Area to secure access for potential future mining. The debt payment and land purchase occurred in February.
The outstanding loan notes (debt) at the end of March was A$53.3m and the final debt repayment is currently scheduled to be made in May 2021. However, given the strong cash balance, the Company is actively investigating opportunities for early retirement of the debt.
Managing Director and CEO Patrick Mutz said “during the quarter we responded quickly to implement measures to protect our employees and other stakeholders following the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Fortunately, we have had no confirmed cases of COVID-19 and it is particularly pleasing to see the team rally to do all the things required and necessary to prevent the potential spread of Coronavirus, while they continued to focus their efforts to ensuring a safe workplace, maintaining production and delivering a record setting quarter of production.
The Company is in a very fortunate position with a strong cash balance, minimum debt, strong operational performance, very supportive offtake partners and proactive employee base, to weather these very challenging economic times brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are also committed to expanding the mine-life at Boonanarring through Project ‘MORE’ which was formally launched in February with a target of adding up to two years of new Ore Reserves at Boonanarring before the end of CY2020. Early drilling results have been encouraging and we look forward to providing updates on progress throughout the year.”

Safety
There was one lost time injury (LTI) recorded during the quarter in the evolving area of mental health awareness and prevention. This is the second mental health related LTI of a total of only three LTI’s recorded since the start of construction at Boonanarring in April 2018.
During the quarter, Image activated parts of its Crisis and Emergency Management Plan in response to State and Commonwealth government and WA Regulatory guidance and recommendations aimed at minimising the spread of COVID-19. The health, wellbeing and safety of Image employees, contractors, consultants and their families and contacts within the communities in which they live is the Company’s priority. The Company has not experienced any confirmed cases of COVID-19 with any of its employees, consultants or contractors, with mining and processing throughput being unaffected by travel restrictions and the modifications to daily practises and procedures due to the adoption of numerous protection measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Mining and Processing
Boonanarring produced 83.9kt of HMC in the March quarter, this is the highest quarterly HMC production rate since the operation commenced. CY2020 production guidance of 300-330kt HMC is unchanged.
Ore tonnes processed were also at record levels for the quarter, at 985kt, up 14% QoQ, CY2020 guidance of 3,000-3,300kt is unchanged.
Reconciliation of ore mined during the quarter, to the updated mine model used as the basis for the updated Ore Reserve published in December 2019, has resulted in higher actual ore tonnes at lower heavy mineral ore grade, but higher in-situ zircon grade than modelled. The net result is higher overall tonnes of zircon being mined than modelled. The reconciliation process is continuing, with the aim of further refining the mine model to more accurately represent the geological complexities and very high HM and zircon grade variability of the Boonanarring deposit.
Mining in Block B at Boonanarring has identified a moderate amount of indurated material in the overburden, which resulted in lower mine productivities in the shorter term and required adjustment of mining equipment to accommodate the changed conditions. Costs were only marginally affected and overall mining costs were 5% lower QoQ. Limited sections of ore in Block B were also affected by indurated material, requiring mining and processing adjustments with minimal impact on overall HMC production or processing costs. Processing costs were 2% lower QoQ.

Costs
C1 cash costs of A$430/t HMC sold and All-in-Sustaining Costs (AISC) of A$495/t were up 35% and 23% QoQ respectively, as HMC sales were significantly lower than forecast due to only 2 of the 3 planned shipments of HMC for the quarter being completed prior to the end of March. C1 cash costs of A$229/t HMC produced and AISC of A$264/t were down 21% and 28% QoQ respectively, as production was substantially higher than in the December quarter. Total costs for the quarter were A$22.7m and consequently CY2020 guidance of A$100-110m for total costs is unchanged.

Sales
The Company continues to be positively supported by its HMC off-take partners and the plan for the quarter was for the sale of three shipments of HMC. Due to the extension of the Chinese New Year from impacts of COVID-19 in China, the HMC shipment planned for February was delayed into March and the shipment scheduled for the end of March was then delayed into April due to shipping berth congestion at the Bunbury port. Therefore, there were only two HMC shipments during the quarter for sales volumes of 44.8kt of HMC. The planned third shipment of 24.3kt HMC sailed in early April. Image anticipates completing six HMC shipments for H1 2020, and CY2020 sales guidance of 300-330kt HMC is unchanged.
Realised pricing of A$659/t remained steady throughout the March quarter. Zircon prices weakened slightly but this was largely offset by increasing TiO2 prices and weakness in the AUD/USD exchange rate.
Finished HMC inventory at the end of the quarter increased to over 96kt DMT, representing more than 3 months HMC production.

Corporate Summary
Image completed a strategic land purchase in the Boonanarring Northern Extension Area in February, which secured access to a 1.3km section of land for potential future mining of the northern extension of the high-grade, zircon-rich Boonanarring deposit. Negotiations continue with other landowners in the area to secure additional access for drilling, which may later lead to mining.
The Company made its second, of a total of seven, scheduled quarterly principal repayments of debt in February of A$9.8m. The final quarterly repayment is currently scheduled for May 2021. However, given the strong cash balance, opportunities for early retirement of the debt are actively being investigated. Outstanding loan notes at the end of the quarter were A$53.3m.

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==
Despite revenue from HMC sales being lower than planned for the quarter, and the outflow of cash for the purchase of land and repayment of debt during the quarter, total cash at the end of March was A$41.2m.
Exploration
Image Resources has already outlined nine separate mineral sand deposits in the North Perth Basin where it has 1,085 sq. km of tenements (Figure 3). The Boonanarring Deposit and surrounds is the main focus of the Company where there is elevated zircon of 27.5% of the HM as compared to around 10% zircon in most of the other deposits.

Drilling Programs
Under the banner of Project ‘MORE’ to identify new Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves within a 10km radius of the current Boonanarring wet concentration plant, a number of drilling programs were completed in the March Quarter for a total of 504 holes and 15,825m. Additional drilling is planned for the June and September quarters with 916 holes for 30,036m planned. (Figure 3 and Table 4). The main areas drilled this Quarter include the Northern Extension Area of Boonanarring, the Southern Extension and the Blue Lake 50mRL area.

Boonanarring Northern Area & Northwestern Extensions
A 108-hole 2,952m program has been completed in the December Quarter at the Boonanarring Northwestern extension (Central Stockcare) targets and due to the promising results, which outlined two strands being 1.2km in length and totalling 250m in width, a further 38-hole infill drilling program totalling 951m is planned to be finished in April.(Figure 4).
The western strand in the Northwestern extension area has some excellent intersections including 4m at 10.9% HM from 11m in IM01000, 3m at 18.3% HM from13m in IM01145, and the eastern strand has some extremely good intersections including 4m at 23.8% HM from 10m in IM01015, 4m at 27.1% HM from 8m in IM01010.
The northern 500m of the 950m strike length drilled to date has elevated visual zircon values with the background 10% zircon levels being up to 15m thick with some local levels generally averaging around 20% zircon. (Figure 5). The composites are scheduled to be prepared for quantitative Qemscan analyses, which will allow the mineralogy to be defined, prior to a maiden Mineral Resources estimate being completed for these two strands.
Further upside in mineralisation is expected from additional drill testing mainly on the western and northern sides of the two strands where permission to test within the water retention areas is being sought from the Mines Dept. Substantial progress has been made to gain access to drill test mineralised extensions to the north on the adjacent Atlit property. Access to the Atlit property could add a further 1.0km of potential mineralisation based on the extent of the ground magnetic targets outlined (shown in pink).
An extensive roadside drilling program of 129 holes totaling 5,160m will test a strike length of 6km to help outline the full extent of the eastern strand high-grade zone extension of the Boonanarring Northern Extension Area (NEA). Approval of the program of work (PoW) is expected shortly so drilling can commence.
At this stage, access to the ground just east of the Brand Highway has not been finalized. Two stages of drilling contemplated in this area. Stage 1 drilling of 86 holes totaling 3,440m and Stage 2 drilling of 43 holes totaling 1,720m which will complete currently planned drilling in the NEA.

Boonanarring Southern Extension
The continuity south of the Boonanarring Deposit into Block E and F over a 3.5km distance is currently being investigated with extensive drilling programs. The Piggery strand is showing promise with some laboratory intersections including 2m at 16% HM from 17m, 3m at 14% HM from 16m, 2m at 26% from 17m (Figure 6). This area has now had 276 holes totalling 8,762m drilled to date. These high-grade zones are scattered over a 1km distance mainly within Block F. Further infill and extension drilling to the north of this 1km zone has been planned to see whether it extends further.
There are two parallel high-grade strands in the Piggery strand and to fully test this area 76 holes totalling 2,848m are planned. Approximately 55% of the Piggery samples drilled to date have been assayed and preliminary microscope examination of these samples has estimated zircon levels up to 35% of HM, with typical ranges between 10% to 15%, being part of a 200m wide zone (Figure 7). Composite work and Qemscan analysis will now begin to define the zircon assays in detail. In addition, a Mineral Resources estimate will begin shortly.

Boonanarring Blocks A, B, C & D
Two areas within the Boonanarring Deposit are being reassessed with infill drilling to see whether they will be potentially mined in the future.
Firstly, a one line 23-hole totalling 1,053m program on the Wannamal West Road is testing a 300m zone at the southern end of Block C. The drilling has confirmed that the high-grade mineralisation does join up linking Blocks B and C under Wannamal Road West and some of the very high grades include 3m at 31.3% HM from 40m in IX00614, 12m at 15.7% HM from 32m in IOX00615. Further Resource/Reserve studies and meetings with the relevant road authorities are expected to begin shortly (Figure 8).
Secondly, a 74-hole 3,395m infill program is planned to start in April to try to optimise a 500m section between Blocks C and D which did not optimise previously into Ore Reserves (Figure 9 and 10).

Boonanarring West 50m RL Strandline (40km length)
The 48-55m RL strand is shown and has good drill intersections over at least 6 separate areas along a 40km length including from the north to the south: Central Stockcare, Blue Lake, Boonanarring West, Gingin North and Gingin South. A new Access agreement has been signed at Blue Lake and a PoW has been approved (Figures 11 & 12).
Ground magnetics has now been completed at Blue Lake and Regans Ford South. This will help focus the drilling on potential higher-grade areas outlined by the ground magnetics. Some initial drilling comprising 72 holes for 2016m has been completed on the Blue Lake area and the 50m RL mineralisation has been outlined and further infill lines and drilling comprising 97 holes for 2,910m is being planned. Laboratory assay results are also awaited.
Some of the better, older and historical intersections are shown on Figure 11 and the drill programs for 2020 are shown in yellow and are designed to identify extensions of these intersections.

==> picture [100 x 68] intentionally omitted <==
The Gingin North area even though it lies just outside the initially proposed 10km pumping distance from the Boonanarring wet concentration plant has been drill tested over the last two years and is emerging as a priority area mainly because of the proliferation of the Boonanarring Piggery overlaying layer and the adjacent 48-55m RL strand (Figure 12). Composite work and Qemscan analysis will begin shortly.
Further upside is expected from an additional 42 holes for 729m mainly on the western side covering the 50m RL and further infill over a location which contains the southern extension of the Piggery strand and is directly north of Gingin North.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements made during or in connection with this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the mining industry, expectations regarding prices, exploration or development costs and other operating results, growth prospects and the outlook of Image’s operations contain or comprise certain forward-looking statements regarding Image’s operations, economic performance and financial condition. Although Image believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct.
Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes that could result from future acquisitions of new exploration properties, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including industrial accidents, environmental hazards or geologically related conditions), changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, risks inherent in the ownership, exploration and operation of or investment in mining properties, fluctuations in prices and exchange rates and business and operations risks management, as well as generally those additional factors set forth in our periodic filings with ASX. Image undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forwardlooking statements to reflect events or circumstances after today’s date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
