HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT NEW TARGETS OVER 30 KM SOUTH OF BOONANARRING
Abridged version, for full announcement please refer to www.imageres.com.au
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Recently Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) announced the appointment of industry identity, Mr Collis Thorp, as its COO following the addition to the board of Mr Jon O’Callaghan as interim Managing Director.
-
Mr Thorp has focused on reviewing the study results released to the market on 16 July 2013, as updated by release dated 4 November 2013. A key recommendation of Mr Thorp is that a larger resource than presently identified at Boonanarring would be desirable. A further 500,000 tonnes plus resource would, in all probability, accelerate the Company in its ambition to commercialise its holdings in the North Perth Basin. Mr Thorp believes a larger resource base is fundamental, in the current market, to securing offtake and finance to support a stand-alone operation.
-
An internal technical review by Image’s Exploration Director, Mr George Sakalidis, has established a number of highly significant untested targets over 30 km (shown in blue over the attached Figures 1, 2, 3, 4). The Company has completed a major tenement rationalisation programme with only high priority target areas retained.
-
Drilling has started in accordance with a staged drilling programme directed at delineating
-
- additional high quality and high-grade resources within the vicinity of Boonanarring and at Bidaminna.
-
Over the past couple of years the Company has undertaken numerous studies with a view to
-
- these studies forming part of a bankable feasibility study. The Company is currently reviewing all of these studies and populating those of value into a recognisable and useable bankable feasibility format document. Additional studies are required to complete a bankable feasibility study, with additional financial studies having been identified.
OVERVIEW OF TARGETS
The Boonanarring Resource of 21.5Mt @8.3% HM covers circa 11 km of strand lines and contains 1.8Mt of concentrate (Table 1). A previous release (dated 14 January 2014) described about 7 km of untested targets north of Boonanarring heading towards the Red Gully Resource.
The current Boonanarring Reserves (refer ASX Release dated 16 September 2013) contain high in ground value per tonne of mineral sands at 8.3% HM, with 24.5% of the HM consisting of high value zircon (Table 1). Any potential strike or resource extensions at Boonanarring would, therefore, add significant economic value to the NPB Project.
The study, initiated by the current board, has looked at the southern extension from the Boonanarring Resource and identified target strandlines (often multiple parallel strands) over some 30 km (Fig 1) . These targets are ready for drilling subject to access and approvals. They offer highly significant tonnage potential. These targets have been interpreted from a combination of topography, existing drilling (both by the Company and others), ground magnetics as well as recently reprocessed and interpreted aeromagnetics.
ASX Release 10 June 2014
It is possible that the presently drilled out Boonanarring deposit (covering 11km) extends all the way to Chandala to the south ( overall 46km ), noting that the Iluka Gingin mine (covering 3km) forming part thereof has already been mined out.
Significantly, there appears to be a direct 5km southern extension to the Boonanarring Resource extending to the Gingin North Resource. The Gingin North Resource extends over 1.4km and contains 140,000 tonnes of concentrate (HM Tonnes) (Table 1) and is covered by Image’s Mining Lease M70/1193 (Fig 2).
The Company is buoyed by the magnetic intensity and continuity of a good percentage of the described target strands. Moreover, many of the parallel strands are wider than those exhibited at Boonanarring which augurs well for the scale of the potential resource. And, what is more, the strands here are abundant, with at least 6 separate parallel strands interpreted to have an aggregate width of 400m within a 600m wide zone.
Based on the Company’s experience in the district over the last decade, it is confident that a significant proportion of the target strandlines will convert to resources, subject to access and further evaluation.
Image’s highly efficient and effective exploration endeavour in the Red Gully to Chandala line (65km) has demonstrated that past explorers have often failed to drill far enough to the east, thus failing to test a number of parallel strands in the region e.g. Boonanarring (which Image has tested and established a high grade resource (refer Table 1 Boonanarring Resource) to the east of past work) and Gingin South (which Image plans to drill). Also a number of the holes drilled by past explorers directly south of the Boonanarring Resource are interpreted by Image as not having been drilled to the correct RL (depth) and redrilling of these areas is planned (Fig 2).
The old Iluka Mine north of Gingin has been mined out and is currently being rehabilitated. Image’s interpretation shows a direct southern extension linking this Mine to Gingin South (Fig 3) and potentially all the way to Chandala (Fig 4) totalling 26km in length. A good proportion of access agreements required to access freehold land affected by the targets have been secured already and further access agreements will be sought to cover all prospective areas.
Image is extremely encouraged by the upside potential of the extensive southern strands interpreted along 30 km of the Gingin Scarp close to major infrastructure which auger well for the economic potential of this Red Gully–Boonanarring-Gingin-Chandala 65km strip.
