OPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW
Operating Result
The profit from continuing operations for the half-year ended 30 June 2021 was $2,910,000 (2020: $14,192,000).
Review of Operations
Image Resources NL (“Image” or “the Company”) continued to build on its success in 2020 to achieve record production in the half year ended 30 June 2021.
The following summarises the key drivers of operational and financial performance for 1H 2021:
-
Record heavy mineral concentrate (“HMC”) production of 187kt for 1H 2021 compared to 167kt for 1H 2020. Strong HMC production in the March quarter (“Q1”) of 85kt was followed by record HMC production in Q2 of 102kt.
-
HMC sales of 152kt for 1H 2021 compared to 110kt for 1H 2020 puts the Company on track to meet sales guidance for 2021 of 300,000 to 320,000 tonnes.
-
A lower average HMC realised sales price of A$480 per tonne for 1H 2021 compared to A$642 per tonne for 1H 2020 was mainly due to lower average zircon grades in HMC and a stronger A$ versus US$.
-
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortisation) of $288 per tonne for 1H 2021 compared to $228 per tonne for 1H 2020 with a key contributor being higher shipping costs
The following table provides a summary of the key drivers of underlying EBITDA for the Boonanarring Project:
| 6 months to | 6 months to | |
|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2021 | 30 June 2020 | |
| HMC Production (DMT 000s) | 187 | 167 |
| HMC Sales (DMT 000s) | 152 | 110 |
| HMC Realised Price ($/DMT) | 480 | 642 |
| HMC Cost of Sales ($/DMT) | (288) | (228) |
| HMC Margin ($/DMT) | 192 | 414 |
| HMC Sales (A$ millions) | 73.1 | 70.6 |
| Cost of sales excluding depreciation and amortisation (A$ millions) | (43.8) | (25.1) |
| Underlying EBITDA (A$ millions) | 29.3 | 45.5 |

Underlying EBITDA
Underlying EBITDA, defined as earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation, and other expenses is used as a key measure of the Company’s financial performance. The reconciliation of the underlying EBITDA to the financial metrics reported in the 1H 2021 financial statements under Australian Accounting standards is presented below.
| Operating sales revenue Costs of sales excluding depreciation and amortisation Underlying EBITDA Depreciation and amortisation Exploration, corporate and other Realised foreign currency gain / (loss) Finance costs (net) Profit before tax Income tax expense Net profit after tax |
6 months to 30 June 2021 (A$000’s) 6 months to 30 June 2020 (A$000’s) 73,107 70,611 (43,803) (25,098) |

Boonanarring
Overall, operational performance for 1H 2021 was very positive with heavy mineral concentrate (HMC) production of 187k tonnes of HMC, 12% higher than in 1H 2020. Cost of sales of $288 per tonne were higher than in 1H 2020 but were broadly in line with guidance. Guidance on C1 cash costs per tonne of $290-320 has been maintained. Margins per tonne were lower for 1H 2021 resulting in underlying project EBITDA of $29.3 million compared to $45.5 million in 1H 2020. However, margins and underlying project EBITDA is expected to increase in 2H 2021 based on an increasingly positive outlook for mineral sands commodity prices generally, and zircon prices in par ticular.
The Company continues to see wet concentration plant (“WCP”) availability consistently above target of 90% and this, combined with higher heavy mineral ore grades (higher than in 1H 2020), supported HMC production of 187,000 tonnes for the half year, putting the Company in a strong position to achieve HMC production guidance for CY2021 of 300,000 to 330,000 tonnes.
Demand for Boonanarring HMC remains high. Benchmark zircon prices have increased 14% since 31 March 2021 and have continued upward momentum in to Q3 2021, which bodes well for average sales prices in 2H 2021. This, combined with relatively high HMC stock levels, puts the Company in a strong position to take advantage of expected stronger prices and a weaker A$ versus US$ in 2H 2021.
HMC sales for 1H 2021 (152,000t) were significantly higher than 1H 2020 (110,000t) with sales in the early part of 2020 being impacted by COVID -19. HMC sales guidance for 2021 has been maintained at 300-320,000 tonnes.
After 1H 2020, the Company continued to operate relatively unaffected by COVID -19, with no confirmed cases at any of the Company’s sites. The Company remains vigilant with respect to COVID -19 and has maintained strict adherence to modifications of its daily work practices and procedures in line with recommendations from regulatory and health officials to reduce the potential risks posed by COVID-19 to its employees, contractors, consultants and their families as well as the local communities in which they reside.

Project Development and Exploration
Project development efforts have been focussed on advancement of the Atlas project (including further work on Hyperion and Helene). In addition, further work is being undertaken immediately to the south of existing reserves at Boonanarring (in blocks D, E and F) to assess the potential for additional Boonanarring mine life given stronger mineral sands commodity prices.
Exploration focus areas during this reporting period include mineral sands projects Atlas, Hyperion, Helene and Bidaminna, plus the gold project at Erayinia and King Prospect Farmin. A maiden dredge mining Mineral Resources estimate for Bidaminna was completed and resulted in 102 million tonnes at 2.2%HM with a strong mineral assemblage of 37% leucoxene in the HM and 93% VHM. Additional tenements were secured over areas to the north and northwest of Bidaminna which exhibit similar aeromagnetic signatures as Bidaminna.
Drilling programmes were conducted on a number of other project areas to meet minimum expenditure requirements, to investigate potential mineralised zones and to enhance the understanding and size of existing Mineral Resources.
In 1H 2021 the Company completed 70 drill holes for 3,218 metres.
SIGNIFICANT EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO REPORTING DATE
Other than the following matters:
-
nominal 30,000 tonne HMC shipment completed in July 2021;
-
30,000 tonne HMC shipment booked for loading in August 2021;
there have been no other material significant matters or circumstances that have arisen subsequent to the end of the reporting period which have had, or are likely to have, a material impact on the operations of the Company or the financial statements.
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 be 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.

NOTE 1 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Preparation
These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 30 June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and Australian Accounting Standard 134: Interim Financial Reporting .
These financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on the date of the Directors Declaration.
This interim financial report is intended to provide users with an update on the latest annual financial statements of the Company. As such, it does not contain information that represents relatively insignificant changes occurring during the half-year. It is therefore recommended that this financial report be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020, together with any public announcements made by the Company during the half-year in accordance with continuous disclosure requirements arising under the Corporations Act 2001.
Going Concern
The Company recognises that its ability to continue as a going concern to meet its debts when they fall due is dependent on successful production and product sales from the Boonanarring project resulting in the project’s ongoing profitable operation. The Directors have reviewed the business outlook, taking into account the early production achievements and the fact that significant cash flow is being generated, and are of the opinion that the use of the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.
Accounting Policies
The same accounting policies and methods of computation have been followed in this interim financial report as were applied in the most recent annual financial statements.
The Company has adopted all of the new, revised or amending Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. The adoption of these Accounting Standards and Interpretations did not have any significant impact on the financial performance or position of the Company.
NOTE 2 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Identification of reportable segments
The Company has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Company is a Mineral Sands mining Company operating its 100% owned highgrade zircon rich Boonanarring mine located in the North Perth Basin of Western Australia. Currently all the Company’s mineral sands and gold tenements, reserves and resources are located in Western Australia.
Revenue and assets by geographical region
The Company operates wholly within the geographical location of Australia with all of its assets located there. All revenue is received from two customers based in China.

Cost of goods sold is in the inventory value of each tonne of finished product sold. All production is added to inventory at cost, which includes direct costs and depreciation and amortisation. The inventory value recognised as cost of goods sold for each tonne of finished product sold is the weighted average value per tonne for the stockpile from which the product is sold.
Inventory movement represents the movement in balance sheet inventory stockpiles, including the non-cash depreciation and amortisation components and movement in the net realisable value adjustments.

| 1,181 | 12,191 |
Trade receivable are amounts due from customers for goods sold in the ordinary course of business. Trade receivables amounts reflect sales of mineral sands and are backed by a letter of credit when the ship dispatches. Funds are received from the letter of credit in US dollars generally within five business days from the date the ship dispatches.
Due to the short-term nature of current receivables, their carrying amount is assumed to be the same as their fair value.

RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT
Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value and revalued where the borrowings are denominated in a foreign currency.
Transaction costs paid on the establishment of loan facilities are capitalised to property, plant and equipment to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down and that the borrowings are directly related to the purchase of property, plant and equipment. Where there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is expensed to profit and loss. Borrowing costs incurred after the property, plant and equipment is installed and operating are expensed to the profit and loss statement directly as financing costs.
Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless the Company has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The fair value of financial liabilities carried at amortised cost approximates their carrying values.
(a) Senior Secured Debt Facility.
A senior secured debt facility originally with Pala Investments Limited (“Pala”) and Castelake IV, L.P. and CL V Investment Solutions LLC which are entities controlled by Castlelake L.P. as the Loan Note Holders, to raise A$50,000,000 from the issue of senior secured loan notes. The senior loan notes amounted to US$38,865,000 and capitalised interest of US$26,347,241. The loan was repaid on 10 February 2021. (The current portion of the loan at 31 December 2020 was US$13,173,620).
The key terms of the loan include a loan period of three years from draw down, an interest rate of 14% for the first fifteen months following draw down and 13% thereafter for the balance of the loan. Interest for the first fifteen months is added to the loan amount and thereafter paid quarterly in arrears. The principal was to be repaid in seven equal instalments starting in the 18[t h] month following drawdown. Drawdown occurred on 25 May 2018 and the loan was fully repaid in February 2021, three months earlier than originally scheduled.

Independent Auditor's Review Report
To the members of Image Resources NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Image Resources NL, which comprises the condensed statement of financial position as at 30 June 2021, the condensed statement of profit or loss and condensed other comprehensive income, condensed statement of changes in equity and the condensed statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, condensed notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.
Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors' determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the company’s financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Image Resources NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
