28 THICK CHANNEL INTERSECTIONS AT COOLJARLOO
A further 19 drill holes have intersected substantial heavy mineral intervals ranging from 20m to 67m in thickness, bringing the total number of thick channel intersections to 28. These new intersections continue to confirm the presence of deep thick channels in the eastern part of the Cooliarloo project area and point to another three major channel target zones extending more than 10km, which possibly contain multiple channels, of which 3.5km are to be drilled in early December. The channel targets are defined by some limited historical drilling and significantly, by distinctive ground magnetic signatures. The thick intersections from the current programme include:

Approximately 70% of the samples from the recent drilling programme have been received and at least four main channels (termed A, B, C and D) have been intersected together with three subsidiary channels (A1, B1 and B2). Drilling to date has been confined to pastoral land with access approvals within exploration licence E70/2636 (refer to the attached map and drill sections). The adjacent exploration licence E70/2898, which covers vacant crown land, has now been granted and will allow Image to drill test the three high priority channel target zones referred to above.
ASX Release 30 November 2006 ASX code: IMA
One of the channel target zones is interpreted to be the extension of channels A, B and C in the southeast part of the tenement where these channels appear to merge, Historical drilling has confirmed at least four channels in this part of the tenement. including the merged A. B and C channels, with a best intersection of 30m @ 6.6% HM from 39m on the eastern margin. The ground magnetics in the southeast part of the joint venture area confirm channels A, B and C as merging into two broad features about 350m and 250m in width respectively and with an average ground magnetic amplitude approximately 1.5 times the amplitude of the channels drilled to the north, indicating a potential for higher average grades.
Two other large channel target zones which have been defined by limited historical drilling and by ground magnetics are 2.3km long and 0.6km wide and 2km long and 0.5km wide respectively with strong average amplitudes of 1.5 times the amplitude of the channels drilled to the north. These channels have superimposed shallow, higher amplitude strand-like magnetic targets, which will also be tested. The combination of both of these mineralisation styles make these channels very attractive drilling targets.
To facilitate deeper drilling below 80m a larger aircore rig will be used to determine the thickness of the channels which in some cases remain open at depth. Surprisingly, 15 holes from the current drilling programme have ended in deep, thick mineralisation which is believed to be significantly thicker than the deposits being dredged at the nearby world-class Cooljarioo Mine some 3km south of the southern end of the tenement. The Cooljarloo Mine is a major dredging operation with an average grade of approximately 2.3% HM which is similar to the grades being encountered in the Cooliarloo channels.
Further releases are being prepared for the western and central parts of the Cooliarloo project summarising other new strands and channel targets which are to be investigated by an accelerated drilling programme with two rigs in early January.
