Activities during the quarter have been almost solely focused on completion of the agreements with Murray Zircon and Guangdong Orient Zirconic Ind Sci & Tech Co Limited. The documentation is now complete and there remains only a few points to be resolved however as with any complex agreement the final detail always takes longer than anticipated.
ASX Code IMA
Contact Details
It was hoped that the agreement would have been finalised by this time however there remains a couple of outstanding issues that have prevented the finalisation and signing of the agreements. However the board remains confident and optimistic that these issues will be resolved in the coming weeks and that will move to a finalised set of agreements.

Boonanarring Project
A 130 km infill ground magnetic survey has been completed over the Boonanarring Project area. Recent interpretation of drilling and this ground magnetic survey has highlighted 9km of NNW targets between 400m and 800m west of the Boonanarring Deposit (Fig.2) some of which are within a new tenement called Boonanarring West (E70/4689). A 25 hole programme is initially contemplated to test 3 separate areas (Boonanarring, Blue Lake and Gingin). Botanical surveys report are being awaited for testing of the Boonanarring West Targets where a further 21 holes are planned. The close proximity of these new targets to the Boonanarring deposit augers well for the potential to add significant extra mine life.

Board & Management (Boonanarring, Blue Lake and Gingin). Botanical surveys report are being awaited for John Jones testing of the Boonanarring West Targets where a further 21 holes are planned. The (NED Chairman) close proximity of these new targets to the Boonanarring deposit augers well for the Peter Thomas potential to add significant extra mine life. (Non-Executive Director) George Sakalidis Boonanarring South (Exploration Director) In addition 74 AC holes for both infill and extension drilling over a 6.4km distance is Collis Thorp being planned directly south of the 9.5km long Boonanarring Deposit (Fig.2).The infill (Chief Executive Officer) drilling is designed to look for higher grades in the vicinity of some drill intersections Jeff Williams including [email protected]% HM from 39m in hole GG1019 Easting 389983mE Northing (Non-Executive Director) 6542860mN and 11m @ 4.5% HM from 31m in hole GG977 Easting 389452mE Northing Aaron Chong Veoy Soo 6544040mN. Whilst the extension drilling is within new areas where sparse historical (Non-Executive Director) drilling has been completed along the scarp, where laterite noise is common. All the drilling costs for the above AC holes have been pre-paid by a placement to a major WA drilling company. This drilling agreement is now expiring on 31[st] December 2016 with 10,126m available for future drilling programmes. The drilling programmes at Boonanrring and Boonanarring South are designed to assist Image to build a 10 year mine life for the Boonanarring Deposit.

Bidaminna Heavy Mineral composites show remarkable and atypically high levels of Leucoxene
Composites were taken over three sections across the length of the Bidaminna Resource (Figures 4 to 7). Mineral Abundance Table shows extraordinary and atypically elevated levels of leucoxene content within the contained heavy mineral (HM). In detail, the HM suite is dominated by the more valuable high Titanium minerals - High Titanium Leucoxene, Low Titanium Leucoxene and Altered Ilmenite and is broken up into:
-
Leucoxene 28% to 69% of the HM which includes:
-
High Ti Leucoxene 7% to 24% of the HM
-
Low Ti Leucoxene 15% to 47% HM
-
Altered Ilmenite 13% to 37% HM
-
Ilmenite 2% to 22.3% HM
-
The Bidaminna Deposit has 44Mt @ 3% HM and the adjacent Exploration Target[1] has circa 100110Mt, averaging 3-4% HM with potential of between 3.0Mt to 5.8Mt of contained HM and extends northwards.
-
More land pegged to cover the northern and southern extension of this deposit
-
Approximately 106 km[2] of four new tenements applied for, totalling 288 km[2] in the Bidaminna region and a total in the North Perth Basin of 1,034 km[2] .
1 It is important to note that these estimates are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

The Leucoxene range of 28 to 69% of the HM is much higher than any of the eight deposits between Gingin South and the Cooljarloo Mine which only range between 1 to 10% of contained HM[2] . This Bidaminna deposit is very unusual and as a result Image has recently applied for additional land to cover the northern and southern extensions of the Bidaminna Deposit.
The commodity pricing for Leucoxene is not readily reported, however according to recent presentations from MZI Resources Ltd (27[th] May and 18[th] November 2015), the L70 Leucoxene (65-85% TiO[2] ) price was reported to be US$352/tonne whilst the L88 Leucoxene (85-95% TiO[2] ) price was reported as US$1,166/tonne.
This augers well for the potential economics of the Bidaminna project, as the mineral suite is dominated by the much higher value Leucoxene products, whilst North Perth Basin deposits are commonly dominated by the lower value Ilmenite products which fetch between US$100 to US$150.
Bidaminna Project
Extensive interpretation of historical drilling, Image drilling and ground magnetics has shown that the lower mineralised zone is much more extensive than previously thought. The Bidaminna Resource 44Mt@3 % HM is 5.3km long and ranges from 100 to 300m in width (Figure 4). Seven composites have been sent for analysis of the Zircon, Rutile, Ilmenite and Leucoxene contents across 3 sections through the Bidaminna Deposit (Figures 5 to 7).
The current interpretation shows the Exploration Target is 11.2km in length and ranges from 600 to 1300m in width. The Exploration Target (not including the Bidaminna Resource) is estimated to contain between 100110Mt with potential to contain 3.0Mt to 5.8Mt of contained HM (based on a range of 3 or 4% HM).
The Bidaminna Resource and Exploration Target, differs from the Boonanarring Deposit, in that they are amenable to large volume dredge mining with a very low slime content of around 3.6%, the mineralised horizon is below the water table and have thick zones of mineralisation – 35 metres thick (Figure 5).

Appendix
Bidaminna Composites
Image Resources submitted a total of 267 heavy mineral (HM) concentrate samples for targeted splitting into 7 composite samples (Table 2) for QEMSCAN analysis by Bureau Veritas Mineral Laboratories from three sections; the southern, central and northern portion of the Bidaminna deposit, classified by Geopeko as an Indicated Resource totalling 44Mt @ 3% HM in 1992[3] (refer Figure 4).
The composite samples, collected from the upper and lower strands of the Bidaminna deposit, were prepared by micro-splitting concentrates retained from exploration air core drilling analyses, completed by Image during 2011 and 2014. Three dimensional wireframe volumes were prepared from drill sections of the mineralised horizons of interest and the micro splitting weights were then determined through a nearest neighbour volume weighting for each sample within the respective wireframes. In this way each composite sample was deemed to be spatially representative of the horizons sampled and analysed.
Mineral Abundance – QEMSCAN
QEMSCAN analysis indicated that all 7 samples mainly contained TiO[2] minerals, with a combined TiO[2] Minerals of between ~86-93%. Zircon accounted for between 4.5-6% of these samples. Minor amounts of Ti Intergrowths, REE, quartz and various silicate phases were also present. Mineral Abundance results from the QEMSCAN analysis carried out on the 7 composite samples are presented in Table 2 below and the composite locations are shown on the overall location map and Sections 1 through to 3 (Figures 1 to 4).
