This presentation has been prepared by the management of Image Resources NL ("Image”, “IMA“ or the ‘Company’) in connection with meetings with investors and potential investors and not as specific advice to any particular party or person. The information is based on publicly available information, internally developed data and other sources. Where any opinion is expressed in this presentation, it is based on the assumptions and limitations mentioned herein and is an expression of present opinion only. This presentation does not constitute or form part of any offer or invitation to sell, or any solicitation of any offer to purchase any shares in the Company, nor shall it or any part of it or the fact of its distribution form the basis of, or be relied on in connection with, any contract or commitment or investment decisions relating thereto, nor does it constitute a recommendation regarding the shares of the Company. Past performance cannot be relied upon as a guide to future performance. Please refer to the back of this presentation for information concerning the calculation of reserves and resources referred to herein, and the consents provided by the respective Competent Persons. For further details on the content of this presentation, please refer to the ASX releases on the Company’s website.

Certain statements in this investor presentation, and in subsequent oral statements made by and on behalf of Image, constitute “forward-looking statements” or “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, the Boonanarring Project, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements or information. Such statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may”, “would”, “could”, “will”, “intend”, “expect”, “believe”, “plan”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “scheduled”, “forecast”, “predict” and other similar terminology, or state that certain actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be achieved. These statements reflect the Company’s current expectations regarding future events, performance and results, and speak only as of the date of this investor presentation.

Statements in this investor presentation that constitute forward-looking statements or information include, but are not limited to statements regarding the Boonanarring/Atlas Project: Production, Cashflows, NPV, IRR, construction timelines, life of the mine; funding; and use of proceeds of the Placement.

The forward-looking information and statements also include metal price assumptions, projected capital and operating costs, metal recoveries, mine life and production rates and other assumptions used in the 2017 Bankable Feasibility Study (as hereinafter defined). Readers are cautioned that actual results may vary from those presented. Certain of the factors and assumptions used to develop the forward-looking information, and the risks that could cause the actual results to differ materially, are contained in the Bankable Feasibility Study lodged with the ASX and disclosed on the Company’s website at www.imageres.com.au.

Forward Looking Statements

==> picture [163 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

All such forward-looking information and statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by the Company’s management in light of their experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors management believe are appropriate in the circumstances. These statements, however, are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking information or statements including, but not limited to, unexpected changes in laws, rules or regulations, or their enforcement by applicable authorities; the failure of parties to contracts to perform as agreed; changes in commodity prices; unexpected failure or inadequacy of infrastructure, or delays in the refurbishment or development of infrastructure, and the failure of exploration programs or other studies to deliver anticipated results or results that would justify and support continued studies, development or operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forwardlooking information or statements.

This investor presentation also contains references to estimates of mineral resources and ore reserves. The estimation of mineral resources is inherently uncertain and involves subjective judgments about many relevant factors. Mineral resources that are not ore reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The accuracy of any such estimates is a function of the quantity and quality of available data, and of the assumptions made and judgments used in engineering and geological interpretation, which may prove to be unreliable and depend, to a certain extent, upon the analysis of drilling results and statistical inferences that may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Mineral resources and ore reserve estimates may have to be re-estimated based on, among other things: (i) fluctuations in zircon, ilmenite or other mineral prices; (ii) results of drilling; (iii) results of metallurgical testing and other studies; (iv) changes to proposed mining operations, including dilution; (v) the evaluation of mine plans subsequent to the date of any estimates; and (vi) the possible failure to receive required permits, approvals and licences.

Although the forward-looking statements contained in this investor presentation are based upon what management of the Company believes are reasonable assumptions, the Company cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this investor presentation and are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary statement. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Company does not assume any obligation to update or revise the forwardlooking statements contained herein to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this investor presentation.
