New Boonanarring strand delineated by recent first pass drilling

Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) announces that 116 holes totalling 4,254 metres have been completed of the 257 holes planned in the Stage 1 drilling programme (Figure 1 and Table 1). Initial assay results for 52 of these holes have been received to date, and are looking very promising with a new parallel strand (named East Gingin North strand) delineated by initial drilling over a 1.5 km length. This new strand is being investigated further along strike over 8 km potentially linking the eastern side of the Gingin North Resource to the western side of the Boonanarring Resource ( Figure 2 and Table 2 ) . Some of the better results include 3 m @ 23.3% HM from 16m in drill hole IX00067 and 6m @ 6.4% HM from 14 m in drill hole IX00060. This mineralisation is shallower than the Boonanarring Resource mineralisation even though it is at the same Relative Level (RL) due to the effect of the scarp covering the Boonanarring Resource.

The aim of the drilling is to make Boonanarring a long life standalone operation and concurrently expand other projects into potential parallel operations for Image and or other producers (Figure 1). All holes drilled in this current programme are within the Red Gully-Boonanarring-Gingin North- Gingin South-Chandala region.

Another important new target just east of the 5.5km Gingin South Resource area has the potential for an eastern parallel strand that is up to 14 km long. The assay results from the first 52 holes confirm that the Gingin South Resource continues further east and is shown up on five separate lines spaced 200 to 400 m apart (Figure 3 and Table 3). Some of the better results include 6m @ 10.0%HM from 27m in drill hole IX00021 and 6m @ 4.8%HM from 31m in drill hole IX00018. The significance of this eastern 14km long parallel strand may be similar to what has occurred at Boonanarring where the eastern strand has a much higher average HM grade and zircon percentage than the western strand and also has the potential to significantly increase the resource size at Gingin South.

The third target being tested by Image in the current programme is the northern extension of the high grade and high zircon Eastern Strand of the Boonanarring deposit, where the average grade in the Block A 210 East strand is estimated to have an Indicated Mineral Resource[1] grading 19.2% HM with the HM containing 26.4% Zircon. Image has completed 12 new drill holes near this northern extension, and assay results are pending (refer Figure 4). Additionally and importantly, a number of drill lines completed in the 1990s are 2 km and 5 km along strike from the northern end of the Boonanarring Mineral Resource. Significantly, the high grade zones drilled from the 1990s drilling include 6 m grading 6.7% HM (Iluka drill hole RG0045 from 27 m down hole), which correlates with the predicted NNW extension of Boonanarring.

1 Refer to the 31 May ASX release http://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20130531/pdf/42g6v9v0jxn3hg.pdf for full details of the Boonanarring Mineral Resource/Reserve Estimate

Importantly, some of the previous drilling did not drill to the target depth of mineralisation and further infill and deeper holes are required to test the grade, thickness of this potential extension. Note in some cases these planned holes are very close to the Brand highway and permission for access will be required

Other areas drilled in this campaign include Red Gully, Chandala and some infill drilling within the Boonanarring Resource. These assay results are pending.

The Director of Exploration George Sakalidis commented:

“I am very excited with the early success of the first part of the Stage 1 drilling programme in outlining new discoveries and targets in the vicinity of the Boonanarring Resource which will potentially allow the Company to develop this project as a major long life operation. Ensuing drilling programmes will be predominately concentrating and following up these results. Access and POW (Programme of Works) are progressing well which will permit the company to be able to test these new exciting Target zones over the next few months.”

All the drilling costs for the 257 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 over several months.

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.

• 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%

above and below the mineralised interval.
• The level and detail of logging is of sufficient quality to support any

• 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.

• 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

• 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

discarded.

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.

Verification of
sampling and
assaying
• The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
• The use of twinned holes.
• Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification, data
storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
• Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• The logging of significant intersections reported in this release has
been verified by alternative company personnel.
• No twin holes have been drilled in the current programme.
• Logging is captured at the rig using a data recorder, downloaded daily
and emailed to head office data services for incorporation into the main
database.
• 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.

No work has been completed by other parties for this
public report.
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.
Other
substantive
exploration
data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not limited to): geological
observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics;
potentialdeleterious orcontaminating substances.

Not applicable for this release.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale
step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible
extensions, including the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.

At the time of this public report, Image has planned
further holes but actual locations may vary depending
on results received as the Stage 1 programme
progresses.
