Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) (“ Image ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities for the quarter ending 31 December 2025.
CEO Patrick Mutz commented:
"Our team completed CY2025 with a record quarter at Atlas. Ore processing and ore grade increased 15% and 18% respectively quarter on quarter, which resulted in record HMC production and HMC sales which increased 30% and 44% respectively quarter on quarter. The quarter was highlighted with monthly record results in December of 30k tonnes HMC production and 34k tonnes HMC sales.
“Importantly, C1 cash costs and AISC were both lower quarter on quarter and on a YTD basis, both were below the lower end of guidance. Revenue also improved substantially quarter on quarter by 25% despite softer commodity prices.
"We continue to work closely with our offtake partners for the timely delivery of HMC and repayment of debt under the Prepayment Facilities. The current forecast is to finalise repayment of the debt in Q2 2026.
“Beyond operations at Atlas, our Development Team continues to assess the Company’s options to extend mining and production in the Atlas area through mining at Atlas North or nearby Hyperion, and to advance future development options beyond Atlas at the Company’s 100%-owned deposits at Yandanooka, Durack, and other Eneabba projects, as well as at Bidaminna and further into the future, the McCalls project.
"Image applied for a grant through the WA Investment Attraction Fund – New Energy Industries Round 2 regarding the Company’s novel synthetic rutile (SR) production process currently under final patent application. If successful in securing grant funds, a demonstration SR plant is proposed to be constructed at the Boonanarring site in 2H CY2026.”
“In early January 2026 we announced a maiden Mineral Resources estimate of 2.1mt @ 2.1gpt Au containing 139k ounces of gold at our Erayinia/King gold project. The company is now undertaking a strategic review to assess options to unlock value for shareholders from this asset given the current very buoyant gold market. Options being considered include divestiture or other commercial arrangements for all of Image’s gold tenements, as well as options for the development of the Erayinia/King project, including potentially in-house.”
Activities Report
Atlas
The Atlas project is located approximately 170km north of Perth in the Dandaragan Shire.
Q4 2025 saw increased HMC production (up 30% from Q3) and HMC Tonnes sold (up 44% from Q3) at Atlas with the successful completion of five HMC shipments in the quarter totalling 70,206DMT (YTD: 154,391 DMT).

ASX: IMA
The Company narrowly missed HMC production guidance on the low side due to a combination of lower recoveries earlier in the year, a decision not to push hard on throughputs in Q4 given the weak commodities market conditions, and higher HM grades being encountered later in Q4 than expected. On a positive note, YTD C1 operating costs and AISC for CY2025 were marginally below the lower end of the guidance range.
With current plans for mining at Atlas to be completed in Q3 2027, the Company is progressing opportunities to extend the mine life for the Atlas wet concentration plant by assessing the potential for mining at Atlas North and from the nearby Hyperion deposit. Both projects require environmental approvals and Hyperion requires landowner access agreements. Both options would require only modest capital expenditure and would allow extended use of sunk capital invested on equipment and infrastructure at Atlas. Hyperion has a Mineral Resource estimate (“ MRE ”) of 3.6 million tonnes @ 8.3% total heavy minerals (Refer Table 4).
The Company is also assessing development opportunities/options within its Eneabba Tenements portfolio, including the Yandanooka and Durack projects, as the next development project following Atlas. Estimated Mineral Resources for Yandanooka, Durack, and the other Eneabba Tenements projects are presented in Table 4 below.

Atlas Market Guidance:
The Company is pleased to provide the following Market Guidance for CY2026:
-
HMC Production 170-190k DMT
-
• HMC Shipped (Sold) 180-200k DMT • Cash Cost/t HMC Produced A$300-360 • AISC/t HMC Produced A$370-430
Potential Options for extensions of mining in the Atlas area
Options to potentially extend mining in the Atlas area include mining at Atlas North or the nearby deposits at Hyperion. All options require environmental approvals and Hyperion requires access agreements with private landowners. The Helene project is also located in proximity to Atlas, however due to a higher strip ratio, it is not considered economically viable at this time.
Atlas North is the northern extension of the Atlas deposit, which was excluded from the original environmental approval process for Atlas South, due to higher level environmental and heritage sensitivities. The Development Team is actively assessing options for securing the necessary approvals for mining. If successful, ore mined at Atlas North would be pumped as a slurry to the existing Atlas WCP as mining would be a seamless continuation of the northerly progression of mining at Atlas South.
The Development Team is also assessing options for securing land access and environmental approval to mine at Hyperion. Hyperion is located approximately 12km to the northwest of Atlas. If mined, ore from Hyperion would likely be trucked to the Atlas WCP to avoid plant relocation capital costs.
Potential Future Development Projects
Future project development options include one or more projects within the Eneabba Tenements package such as Yandanooka and Durack which are located on private agricultural land and believed to have shorter development timelines than the Company’s other projects (located on crown land) due to lower environmental and heritage sensitivities. However, all projects in the Eneabba package of tenements require access agreements with the respective landowners.
Development options may also include other projects in the Eneabba Tenements package such as Ellengail, Drummond Crossing, West Mine North or Corridor, as well as Image’s other 100%-owned projects outside of the Eneabba Tenements such as Bidaminna, McCalls, and Mindarra Springs.
A key goal of the Development Team is to identify the best option for development in the near to medium term and achieve operational readiness before the completion of mining and processing at Atlas.
Yandanooka
Yandanooka is 100%-owned and is located approximately 300 km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia. Access for mining is contingent on securing a land access agreement, the grant of a mining lease, and the completion of a bankable feasibility study (“ BFS ”).
A pre-feasibility study (“ PFS ”) was published on Yandanooka in April 2024 (ASX announcement dated 19 April 2024 “Strong Feasibility Results Yandanooka Project”). Project economics are based on an initial eight-year mine life at a processing rate of 420 tph rougher head feed. The throughput rate was determined based on the design and capacity of WCP used at the successful Boonanarring project.
Yandanooka PFS Highlights:
-
Pre-tax NPV8: A$151 million
-
Pre-tax IRR8: 72%
-
Initial Development Capital: A$50.3 million
-
Capital payback (post first revenue): 15 months
-
Project EBITDA: A$277 million

ASX: IMA
-
Forecast mine-life: 8.2 years
-
Total HMC production: 1.04 Mt
Yandanooka Ore Reserves Estimate Highlights:
-
30 million tonnes of Probable Ore Reserves at 3.9% total HM
-
Mineralisation from the surface with an average waste-to-ore strip ratio of 0.1:1
-
90.5% valuable heavy minerals (" VHM ") in HM
-
High-value mineral assemblage with 14% zircon, 3.3% rutile, 27% leucoxene, 46% ilmenite, and 0.19% monazite in HM
Based on the positive results, the PFS is being progressively upgraded to a BFS using the same development methodology applied to the successful Boonanarring project. However, given components of the Boonanarring plant were utilised for the Atlas project (not anticipated at the time the PFS was published), the initial Yandanooka development capital outlined in the PFS is expected to increase by approximately A$22 million (to ~A$72 million) to account for replacement equipment. Adjustments to capital costs will be reflected in the BFS, which can only be completed post finalisation of a land access agreement and grant of a mining lease.
Bidaminna
Bidaminna is 100%-owned and is located approximately 100km north of Perth in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin. Results from a PFS on Bidaminna were announced in June 2023 (refer to ASX announcement dated 27 June 2023: “PFS Results - Bidaminna Mineral Sands Project”). The PFS was based on inaugural Ore Reserves of 123Mt at 1.8% HM with 4% slimes, 4% oversize, 93% VHM and 85% of the HM as high-quality ilmenite and leucoxene suitable as synthetic rutile (“ SR ”) feedstock (refer Table 2).
The PFS results were positive, with key highlights including a pre-tax NPV8 of A$192 million, pre-tax IRR8 of 28%, project EBITDA of A$379 million over a 10.5-year mine life and a 3.8-year capital payback period. Project revenue in the Bidaminna PFS was based on the simple business model of selling an HMC product, and therefore excluding any potential value-added from mineral separation and upgrading of ilmenite to SR.
Given positive PFS results a BFS was commenced. The BFS will incorporate several optimisation steps, as well as an updated MRE which will build on the latest MRE announced in February 2023 (refer to ASX announcement dated 28 February 2023: “Mineral Resources Update Bidaminna Project” ) with total MRE of 109 million tonnes at 2.5% HM.
To conserve cash for the development of Atlas and to facilitate the repayment of working capital debt for Atlas, work on the Bidaminna BFS has been curtailed pending cash reserves from operations being sufficiently replenished.
Value-adding SR Innovation
Positive test results on upgrading Bidaminna ilmenite to SR (refer ASX announcement dated 9 August 2023: “Synthetic Rutile Production Test Results”) opened the door to the potential significant value-adding opportunity of upgrading future production of ilmenite from Yandanooka, Bidaminna, McCalls, and Mindarra Springs to SR. Following these test results, the Company developed a novel SR production process which has been provisionally patented. The process involves the use of hydrogen instead of coal as the iron reductant which will substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
In September 2025, the WA Investment Attraction Fund – New Energy Industries opened Round 2 of grant funding for innovative process regarding critical minerals. As Image applied for a grant under this program in 2024 but was unsuccessful due to depletion of grant funds, the Company was invited to submit a new application for 2025 Round 2 grant funding. If the application leads to a grant, an SR demonstration scale plant is planned to be constructed in 2H CY2026 at the Boonanarring site.

Environmental, Social & Governance (“ESG”)
Environment – Rehabilitation
A total of 85ha has been rehabilitated at the Boonanarring project to-date. Planning is underway for the recommencement of certain rehabilitation activities at Boonanarring.
As part of the rehabilitation programme a mobile conveyor system has been purchased to test the potential of using conveyors to return a large portion of the Boonanarring stockpiled overburden material back into the pits at a significantly lower unit cost than conventional truck and shovel operations. Initial trials are expected to be carried out in Q1 2026.
Safety
No lost-time injuries were recorded during the quarter.
Image is committed to the promotion of a positive work, 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.
The Company tracks and reports its total recordable incident frequency rate (“ TRIFR ”) as the number of recordable incidents per 1 million hours of work. There were no recordable injuries during the quarter. The 12month rolling average TRIFR on 31 December 2025 was 28.2 (up from 27.5 as at 30 September 2025).
Community
Image continues to proudly contribute to the local communities in which it operates, including through local employment and support for local community events. Notable programs occurring or ongoing during this reporting period include the following:
-
Peppercorn leasing of Image’s unused land at Boonanarring to the Gingin Recreation Group with profits supporting community programs;
-
Periodically providing certain stockpiled clayey materials to a local Boonanarring area landowner to assist in demonstration testing to assess carbon sequestration enhancement techniques;
-
Support of Happiness Co Foundation and associated mental health programmes provided to the Image workforce, and select groups within local communities and regional areas;
-
Support of various Gingin and Dandaragan Shire community groups and local area programs;
Modern Slavery Statement
Image continues to implement initiatives under the Modern Slavery Act. While the Company’s principally Tier 1 suppliers are predominantly long-standing Australian-based businesses, questionnaires are being issued progressively to all Tier 1 suppliers to assess potential risk of modern slavery within their operations and supply chains.
Image completed and lodged its 4th annual Modern Slavery Statement for CY2024 in June 2025.The report can be viewed at https://modernslaveryregister.gov.au/statements/ or it can be viewed on Image’s website at ImageResources-Modern-Slavery-Statement-CY2024.pdf.
ESG & Sustainability Reporting
Image published its third annual Sustainability Report for CY2024 on 24 September 2025 (refer to ASX announcement dated 24 September 2025 “Sustainability Report CY2024”).

Corporate
On 29 October, the Company released a Market Guidance Update followed by a Quarterly Report and Appendix 5B on 31 October 2025.
On 3 November 2025, the Company released a “Response to ASX Price and Volume Query”.
During Q4, the Company contracted to sell a property near Boonanarring with gross sale proceeds of $3.5 million excluding GST due at settlement (settlement is scheduled to occur late January 2026 or early February 2026). Sales agreements for other parcels of land near Boonanarring have also been signed with gross sales proceeds of $4.5 million (excluding GST) due at settlement expected in Q1 2026.
Corporate costs for Q4 2025 included $242,000 of related party transactions (all director salary or director fee related).
As at 31 December 2025, the Company had the following USD/AUD exchange rate hedge collar structures in place:
Volume Put Strike Call Strike Maturities US$10.0M 0.582 0.625 January 2026 - December 2026
EXPLORATION
The Company’s exploration portfolio is primarily focused on mineral sands, with the exception of two exploration licences and two prospecting licences, located southeast of Kalgoorlie, which include the Erayinia/King Gold Project (see Table 2 – Tenement Schedule). All of the Company’s tenements are located in Western Australia, and all mineral sands related tenements are located in the North Perth Basin, across a combined area of 1,236.6 square kilometres.
Company’s minerals sands portfolio within the North Perth Basin tenements now consists of 23 named project areas, each with identified Mineral Resources as presented in Table 10.
Drilling Programs
Structural logging of the oriented core, from two deeper drillholes completed in May 2025 at the Erayinia/King gold project, identified a strong, consistent foliation dipping steeply to the southwest, along with two structural features plunging on the foliation plane: quartz lenses plunging steeply to the southwest and a fold axis plunging gently to the northwest. When the existing drill data was viewed with the newly acquired structural insight, gold grades correlate very well from section to section and up and down dip. The revised interpretation defines a simpler and more coherent mineralisation model, with gold-bearing zones dipping approximately 68–70 degrees to the southwest, representing a significant improvement in the geological understanding of the deposit.
This updated interpretation underpinned a maiden Mineral Resources estimation for the project, with results published in early January 2026.
In addition to the gold mineralisation modelling of the Erayinia/King deposit, the Durack mineral sands deposit continued to be advanced as a potential development project to follow completion of mining at Atlas. Drilling at Durack commenced on 1 December for the collection of composite samples for metallurgical testing for a BFS, as well as confirmation and upgrading of the estimated Mineral Resources.
The Durack drilling program continued to the holiday break in late December and was finalised in January 2026. In addition to metallurgical sample collection and resource confirmation drilling, a limited number of holes were drilled to test potential extensions of heavy mineral mineralisation outside of the footprint of the current Mineral Resources. Laboratory analysis of drill and metallurgical samples are anticipated in Q1 2026.
