NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement – 5 June 2012

1. Introduction

This Explanatory Statement has been prepared for the information of members of the Company in connection with the business to be conducted at the Meeting of members to be held at Level 2, 16 Ord Street, West Perth, Western Australia on Tuesday 3 July 2012 at 11:00am (WST). This Explanatory Statement forms part of and should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Image is close to completing the first phase of the North Perth Basin ( NPB ) Project feasibility study. This stage has focused on the supporting studies for the environmental applications and establishment of the concepts, schedules and budgets for the remainder of the feasibility study. The next phase of the work will include:

  • drilling to prove up extensions to the high grade mineralisation at Boonanarring on land where Image has not previously had access,

  • further drilling at Atlas South

  • bulk sample test work for process design and

  • preparation of samples for acceptance testing by potential customers.

At the same time, the technical studies and project evaluation work will continue in order to optimise the project configuration and to explore avenues for rapid development of the NPB Project in a staged manner. The objective is to balance capital requirements with early cash flows and to mitigate risk.

By passing the resolutions in the Notice of Meeting, members will empower the board to raise additional capital to cover the costs of these programmes and take the project to the point where the results to hand and confidence in the project development schedule and economics will support further capital raisings for the first stages of project development.

ASX’s Corporate Governance Guidelines

The granting of options to key management personnel falls within the guidelines recommended in Principle 8 of the ASX’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations with 2010 Amendments. The Company's Corporate Governance and Policies Manual includes a Remuneration Policy which states that: "The Remuneration Committee (“ committee ”) makes decisions with respect to appropriate and competitive remuneration and incentive policies (including basis for paying and the quantum of any bonuses), for key management personnel and others as considered appropriate to be singled out for special attention, which:motivates them to contribute to the growth and success of the Company within an appropriate control framework; and

  • aligns the interests of key leadership with the interests of the Company’s shareholders;

  • are paid within the any limits imposed by the Constitution and make recommendations to the Board with respect to the need for increases to any such amount at the Company’s annual general meeting;

  • in the case of directors, only permits participation in equity-based remuneration schemes after appropriate disclosure to, due consideration by and with the approval of the Company’s shareholders."

  • The grant of Options falls within the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.

Share Trading History

  • The price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX over the twelve month period ending 31 May 2012 has ranged from a low of $0.225 on 20 December 2011 to a high of $0.515 on 6 June 2011. The latest available closing price of the Company’s shares quoted on the ASX, prior to the date of this Explanatory Statement on 1 June 2012 was $0.33. Dilution Effect and Costs of Issue The potential cost to the Company of the issue of 3,750,000 Options pursuant to resolution 3 is that there will be a dilution of the issued share capital if the Options are exercised. Based on 100,184,817 shares currently on issue, the exercise of the Options would have a dilution effect of approximately 3.74% on non-associated shareholders’ interests in the Company. The issue of the Options will not restrict the Company's ability to issue further securities as it sees fit and should it do so, that will further diminish the potential dilution impact of the Options. The opportunity costs to the Company or benefits foregone by the Company in respect of the issue of Options are:  the price at which the Options might have been issued pursuant to a competing arm’s length transaction for cash (or other value);  if the Options are exercised at a time when the market price of the Company’s shares is greater than the exercise price of the Options, there will be a detriment insofar as the Company will be required to issue shares at a price lower than it might otherwise have then been able to, with the result that less funds will be raised for the number of shares issued.

  • Rationale for the proposal – the opportunity benefit The issue of Options is thought by the board to be justified because:  it will provide Mr Davies with an opportunity to participate in the Company's future growth thus incentivising and rewarding him for his future contribution to that growth;

  • Mr Davies will thereby have a vested interest in the affairs of the Company and in increasing the market value of its securities - thus he will have a common interest with all shareholders. If he significantly increases the market capitalisation of the Company, this will have the effect of increasing the value of all shares from the date the Options were granted and he will benefit from the resultant increase in value;

  • the issue of Options has the benefit of conserving cash whilst motivating the Mr Davies;  the real cost to the Company will be the cost at which the Options could actually be issued on arms-length (not the theoretical valuation) terms; they will not result in dilution of shareholders’ equity unless they are exercised;

  • the exercise of the Options will provide working capital for the Company;

  • if all the Options issued to Mr Davies are exercised, an amount of $2,750,000 will be raised;

  • the purpose is to provide Mr Davies with an incentive and the success of the Company depends in large measure on the skills and motivation of the people engaged in and overseeing the management of the Company's operations. It is therefore important that the Company is able to attract and retain people of the highest calibre.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

5. Proposed Issue of Ordinary Fully Paid Shares (Resolution 4) ASX Listing Rule Requirements

  • ASX Listing Rule 7.1 relevantly provides that the prior approval of the shareholders of the Company is required to an issue of equity securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by the Company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period. The issue and allotment of shares outlined in Resolution 4 will exceed the 15% limit and therefore requires such approval. In compliance with the information requirements of ASX Listing Rule 7.3, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the proposed placement. (a) The maximum number of securities the Company may issue pursuant to this resolution is 10,000,000 ordinary fully paid shares; (b) The Company will issue and allot the shares either simultaneously or progressively, in whole or in part (if at all) and will be completed by no later than 3 months after the date of the Meeting, unless otherwise extended by way of ASX granting a waiver;

  • Page 7

NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING Explanatory Statement – 5 June 2012

before the day on which the issue is to be made;

(d) The shares are proposed to be issued to professional and/or sophisticated investors who satisfy either one of the definitions contained in sections 708(8), 708(10) or 708(11) of the Corporations Act 2001. No shares are to be issued to any related party of the Company. The participants are not yet known;

(e) The Shares will rank equally in all respects with the existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue; and

(f) The intended use of the funds raised will be directed towards advancing exploration on the Company’s mineral sands projects in Western Australia, conducting project feasibility studies aimed at commercialising the resource base and provision of general working capital.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

The proxy has the same right as the shareholder to speak and vote at the Meeting.

Vote on Resolutions

You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite the resolution/s you wish to direct your proxy to vote on. If you do so, all your shares will be voted in accordance with your direction. You can split your vote on any resolution /s by inserting the number/s of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box/es. Please ensure you clearly mark the box in black or blue ink by placing a mark or the number of shares you are voting.
