New drilling programme aimed at adding mine life from two separate fronts

The Stage 1 drilling programme commenced in November 2014 and 181 holes totalling 7,043 metres have been drilled out of the 376 holes planned for this phase.

The ASX release (25th March 2015) highlighted 2 new discoveries. Firstly a new parallel strand, named the East Gingin North strand has a new mineralised zone of 2.4km length some 300m west of the Boonanarring deposit. This current programme of 40 holes is designed to test for an 8km target, potentially extending the 2.4km mineralised zone in both a northern and southern direction (Fig.2) Furthermore the Gingin North Deposit (refer to Resource Table) starts directly south of this 8 km target zone and may be a direct extension.

Secondly the ASX release (25[th] March 2015) highlighted a very high grade intersection of 14m @17.9% HM some 1.3km north of the Boonanarring Deposit (refer to Resource Table). The current programme of 34 Air Core holes is designed over 4 lines potentially looking for a 3.7km northern extension from the Boonanarring Deposit (Fig.3).

Image is also carrying out a 100 km ground magnetic programme within our Bibby Springs tenement directly SSE of our Helene Deposit (refer to Resource Table). Some preliminary results are encouraging as 4.5km of new targets have been identified and further results will be released when the survey is completed (Fig.5).

All the drilling costs for the 74 holes planned for this stage 1 programme have been pre-paid by a placement to a major WA drilling company. The drilling programme started on the 14 November and these priority targets will be tested.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques

Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples
should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.

Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work
has been done this would be relatively
simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling
was used to obtain 1 m samples from
which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a
30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be
required, such as where there is coarse
gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailedinformation.

All drill holes reported in this release are vertically oriented, reverse-
circulation air-core (RCAC) drill holes.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details
(eg core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core
is oriented and if so, by what method,
etc).

All RCAC drill holes are drilled vertically using an NQ-sized (63.5 mm
diameter) drill bit.

Water injection is used to convert the sample to a slurry so it can be
incrementally sampled by a rotary splitter.

At the drill site, Image’s geologist estimates sample recovery
qualitatively (as good, moderate or poor) for each 1 m down hole
sampling interval. Specifically, the supervising geologist visually
estimates the volume recovered to sample and reject bags based on
prior experience as to what constitutes good recovery.

Image found that of the 157 samples (that have a grade ≥ 2.5% HM)
that are the subject of this release, 144 (92%) have good recovery, 3
have moderately good recovery and 10 have poor recovery.

Image also monitors recovery through the mass of the laboratory
sample, which is recorded prior to despatch and again on delivery to
the laboratory. The mass variation in the laboratory samples can then
be correlated back to the original total sample.
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.

Image’s supervising geologist logs the sample reject material at the rig
and pans a small sub sample of the reject, to visually estimate the
proportions of sands, heavy mineral sands, ‘slimes’ (clays), and
oversize (rock chips) in each sample, in a semi-quantitative manner.

The geologist also logs colour, grainsize, an estimate of induration (a
hardness estimate) and sample ‘washability’ (ease of separation of
slimes from sands by manual attrition).

To preclude data entry and transcription errors, the logging data is
captured into a digital data logger at the rig, which contains pre-set
logging codes. No photographs of samples are taken.

The digital logs are downloaded daily and emailed to Image’s head
office for data security and compilation into the main database server.

Samples visually estimated by the geologist to contain more than 0.5%
HM (by weight) are despatched for analysis along with the 1 m
intervals above and below the mineralised interval.

The level and detail of logging is of sufficient quality to support any
potential future Mineral Resource Estimates.

All (100%) of the drilling is logged.

Geotechnical logging is not possible for the style of drilling used,
however the logging is acceptable for metallurgical sample selection if
required.

Quality of assay
data and
laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness
of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the
technique is considered partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and
model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures
adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks)
and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision
have been established.

The laboratory despatch samples are prepared by Western Geolabs (in
Bellevue Western Australia) by first, wet weighing, then drying the
sample for 5 to 8 hrs in an oven at 110°C. The dry weight is then
recorded using a laboratory digital scale.

The dried sample is then crushed (using manual pummelling) until all
clay and sand materials in the sample pass through a 3.3 mm screen.
In samples where (>3.3 mm) rock fragments are found after
pummelling and screening, the mass of the fragments is recorded and
the material discarded.

The <3.3 mm sample is then hand mixed prior to splitting through a
single tier riffle splitter (16 chutes each with 8 mm aperture), as many
times as required to prepare a 100 g ± 5 g sub sample. The actual
mass retained is recorded using a laboratory digital scale.

The riffle splitter sub sample is then wetted, undergoes further manual
attrition to break up clays, before the <63µm clays (slimes) are
washed from the sample (de-sliming) using a jet wash and 63µm
screen.

The <63µm slimes (clays) are discarded and the >63µm sub sample
is placed in a metal tray and oven dried. When dry, the >63µm sub
sample is put through a 1 mm sieve and the mass of the screen
oversize (>1 mm) is recorded on a digital balance. The oversize is then
discarded.

The de-slimed sand fraction (>63µm & < 1mm) sub sample is then
weighed on a digital scale before being separated into two fractions by
mixing the sample in a glass separation funnel with a heavy liquid
(TBE) of density 2.95 g/cm3.

Once sufficient time has passed to allow the sample to separate and
settle, the <2.95 g/cm3, ‘floats’ fraction is collected and discarded.

The <2.95 g/cm3, ‘sinks’ fraction is collected from the funnel into a filter
paper, then washed with acetone to remove the TBE. The sinks are
then dried and the mass recorded on a digital scale.

From the process above the laboratory reports the wet mass received,
dry received mass, the mass of (>3.3 mm) rock fragments or coarse
oversize (if any), the mass of the 100 g± 5 g, sub sample, and the
mass of the (HM) sink fraction.

The procedure can be considered a total analysis for mass
concentration of heavy minerals in each sample. The method is also
consistent with best industry practices employed by mineral sands
explorers in the Perth Basin region.

For quality control the laboratory:

Uses certified masses to verify daily the accuracy of all laboratory
mass scales.

Prepares a replicate sample at a frequency of 2 for every 25 routine
samples analysed.

Uses a hydrometer to test daily the density of the TBE used for HM
separation

For each laboratory despatch (ranging from≈150 to≈350 samples)
Image includes blind standard reference samples (SRMs) that contain
known (to Image) concentrations of heavy and valuable heavy
minerals. Image inserts the SRMs, at a frequency of 1 in 30 sample
submitted to the laboratory.

Image is yet select and analyse field-replicate samples from field-
sample replicates collected to quantify field sampling precision. This
work will be completed at the end of the current field programme along
with external laboratory checks. Laboratory replicate sample results are
being reviewed.

Blanks samples for testing of cross contamination are not deemed
necessary for the style of mineralisation under consideration.

Assay results from the laboratory are received by email in standard
spreadsheet templates and merged with logging results in-house.

There are no adjustments to original laboratory results.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to
locate drill holes (collar and down-hole
surveys), trenches, mine workings and
other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.

The drill hole collar locations are captured by one of Image’s rig team
following the completion of each drill hole, using a hand held GPS with
nominal accuracy of≈±15 m. Elevations have also been determined
with hand-held GPS. More accurate locations will be determined in
future by a registered surveyor using DGPS equipment.

The grid system for reporting results is the MGA Zone 50 projection
and the GDA94 elevation datum.

No topographic control has been considered at this time.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.

Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been
applied.

The drill holes reported in this release are located on≈200 m spaced
drill lines along the strike of mineralised strands, and at≈20 m
intervals across strike intervals.

No mineral resources have been estimated from the reported drilling
but the spacing is commensurate with that used to define Inferred
Mineral Resources in Image’s other projects in the region.

No sample compositing has been applied – all results are from 1 m
long down hole sample intervals.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of possible
structures and the extent to which this is
known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.

All drill holes are vertical and intersect sub-horizontal strata. As such
Image considers that it is highly unlikely that the orientation of drilling
relative to the well understood structure of minerals sands strands,
would result in a sampling bias.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.

All samples are collected from site by Image’s staff as soon as
practicable once drilling is completed and then delivered to Image’s
locked storage sheds.

Image’s staff also deliver samples to the laboratory and collect heavy
mineral floats from the laboratory, which are also stored in Images
locked storage

Image considers there is negligible risk of deliberate or accidental
contamination of samples. Occasional sample mix-ups are usually
corrected using Images checking and quality control procedures.
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.

The results and logging have been reviewed internally by Images
senior exploration personnel including checking of masses despatched
and delivered, checking of SRM results, and verification logging of
significant intercepts.

Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.

Image is targeting discovery of heavy mineral sands
strand deposits that have formed on ancient shore lines
on the eastern margin of the Swan Coastal Plain in
sediments Pleistocene to Holocene age in the north of
the Perth Basin.

The Boonanarring deposit occurs in the Yoganup
Formation and is interpreted to have formed during
periods of sea level stability within a cycle of shoreline
regression. The high grade strands in Boonanarring are
interpreted to have formed against a notch in the local
basement, possibly an ancient sea cliff.

The current programme of drilling is targeting possible
new strands, and extensions of known strands between
the Boonanarring and Gingin Mineral Resources and
also north of Boonanarring, to the Red Gully region.
Drill hole
Information

A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results including a
tabulation of the following information for all Material drill
holes:
o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above
sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.

If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis
that the information is not Material and this exclusion
does not detract from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.

In this public report, Image has reported only the drill
holes with significant intercepts that confirm the
discovery of new strand lines or possible extensions of
known strand lines.

The Competent Person does not consider a full listing of
the barren and low grade mineralisation is material for
the drill holes that are the subject of this public report.
However, the figures attached to the public report do
give the context of the significant intercepts with respect
to results reported by Image in previous public reports.
Data
aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging
techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations
(eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of
high grade results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such aggregation should
be stated and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.

Image prepared the lists of significant intercepts in this
public report using the data aggregation algorithms
available in Micromine software. The criteria for
reporting included compositing criteria for 1 m
intercepts of:
o A starting threshold of ≥ 2.5% HM
o Minimum down hole composite length of ≥ 2 m
o No internal dilution (no 1 m intervals included if
grades are < 2.5% HM).

Generally the grades of individual results contributing to
significant intercepts are of similar tenor.

There are no metal equivalent assumptions relevant to
the style of mineralisation under consideration.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the
reporting of Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the
drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are
reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect
(eg‘down holelength, truewidth notknown’).

All holes are drilled vertically through a horizontal
stratigraphy. There is low risk of grade bias due to the
angle of intersection and geometry of the style of
mineralisation under consideration.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Refer to the figures in the public report.
Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration
Results is not practicable, representative reporting of
both low and high grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.

The Competent Person does not consider a full listing of
the barren and low grade mineralisation is material for
the drill holes that are the subject of this public report.
However, the figures attached to the public report do
give the context of the significant intercepts with respect
to results reported by Image in previous public reports.
