Mineral Sand Markets – Zircon

==> picture [77 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

• ➢ Chinese zircon demand softened during late 19 & 1H’20 as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted downstream demand and international exports.

• ➢ Global supply side disruptions have provided some stability to pricing.

• ➢ Chinese domestic zircon stocks now low following a destocking cycle by large Chinese buyers.

• ➢ International downstream consumers returning to production after period of lockdown.

• ➢ Current zircon prices are now at levels that may jeopardise/delay new project development.

• ➢ Current prices still substantially higher than Image break-even price.

Mineral Sand Markets – TiO 2

==> picture [77 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

• ➢ TiO 2 markets showing strength and stability.

• ➢ Ilmenite markets buoyed by limited global supply exacerbated by Chinese domestic mine suspensions and strong operating rates at sulfate pigment plants and relatively low inventory levels

• ➢ Rutile markets remain stable in part due to longer dated nature of industry offtake arrangements.

• ➢ Pricing expected to remain stable through Q3 with some moderation expected by year end.

Operational Performance – Cost Control

==> picture [77 x 53] intentionally omitted <==

Demonstrating cost discipline

• ➢ Improved operating rates and expected ore grade are supporting high HMC production rates which in conjunction with continued cost discipline are reflected in falling unit costs.

Image has made no change to 2020 guidance following the emergence of COVID-19 at the end if the March Quarter. Following the increasingly volatile economic landscape Image would like to emphasise 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 and will update the market if required and at a minimum will comment on guidance as part of its quarterly reporting.
