OUTSTANDING DRILL RESULTS CONFIRM A 5.6KM HIGHGRADE EXTENSION OF BOONANARRING DEPOSIT

_____________

Highlights

  • Drilling results confirm a 5.6km northern extension of the Boonanarring Mineral Resources area.

  • Outstanding high-grade intersections of 8m @ 23.8% HM in IX00245, 8m @ 21.1% HM in IX00244 and 8m @ 16.3% HM in IX00250.

Image Resources NL (Image or the Company) (ASX: IMA) is pleased to announce that the results of a recent drill programme have confirmed a 5.6km extension of high-grade mineralisation associated with the Boonanarring mineral sands deposit . Boonanarring is arguably the highest grade, high-zircon undeveloped mineral sand deposit in Australia. In addition, the Company is in the final stages of completing a bankable feasibility study and is planning to develop the project with a goal of first production in early 2018. The indication of a significant extension of high-grade mineralisation for this deposit adds to the upside potential of the project.

The Boonanarring deposit has estimated mineral resources of 43.8M tonnes at 5.6% heavy minerals (HM) with 18.1% of the HM as high value zircon and with 72% of the HM as valuable heavy minerals (VHM) (ASX release 13/01/2017). The area containing the current mineral resources at Boonanarring stretches 13.2km to the south on the east side of Brand highway. The new drilling results confirm the high-grade mineralisation extends to the north on the west side of the Brand highway for an additional 5.6km.

The recent drill program was located within a road reserve on the Quinns Hill tenement (E70/3100). Ten drill holes for a total of 468m were completed in a programme designed to test the extension of the high-grade eastern strand of the Boonanarring mineral sand deposit, adjacent to and to the west of the Brand Highway. The design of the programme was based on an extrapolation of previous drilling by Image and limited historic drilling by Iluka.

Assay results from this drilling programme are outstanding and clearly confirm the extension of the high-grade Boonanarring eastern strand northwards for 5.6km.

Previous reported drilling by Image (ASX release 13/07/2015) on the southwest side of the Brand highway included results of 8m @ 21.6% HM from 38m in drill hole IM0083 and 14m @ 17.9% HM from 40m in drill hole IX00103. The new drilling results (Table 1 below) represent a continuation of the high-grade eastern strand for another 3.5km northwards beyond the location of drill holes IM0083 and IX00103.

Hole IX00250 of the current programme starts on the eastern edge of the Brand Highway and contains 8m @ 16.3% HM and moving north, the high-grade mineralisation is present on the western edge of the Brand Highway and drill hole IX00244 contains 8m @ 21.1% HM from 23m and IX00245 contains 8m @ 23.8% HM from 27m (Figures 1 and 2). Whereas the northernmost intersection of mineralisation was intersected by an historic drill hole RG45 by Iluka which contains 6m @ 6.7% HM from 31m and is open at depth as some of the holes drilled by Iluka did not reach the bottom of mineralisation.

Even though this limited 10-hole drilling programme has demonstrated that the high-grade eastern strand is present over 5.6km, further drilling is required to outline a resource as in some cases only 1 to 2 holes were drilled every 200–400m. Land access is currently being sought and further infill and extension drilling will be included in future drilling budgets.

It is not possible to make a determination at this time regarding the methodology or potential economics of mining in this extended area due to the location of the Brand highway and some gas pipelines. However, there is precedent regarding approvals to allow mining in areas near transportation and other infrastructure.

Executive Exploration Director, George Sakalidis commented, “The extraordinary high-grade results of this current drilling programme north of Boonanarring have the potential to add significantly to the Company’s inventory of high grade mineral sand deposits in the North Perth Basin. The Company has also shown that the Boonanarring deposit is significant in size, as this drilling shows potential to be larger than 18.8km in length, with further upside potential both to the north and south.”

Managing Director, Patrick Mutz commented “The results of the recent drilling programme are extremely positive given the Company’s current drive to move the Company to first production at Boonanarring in early 2018. The upside potential of additional high-grade mineralisation within pumping distance of the planned location of the wet concentrator plant at Boonanarring could add significant value to the project.”

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.

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 drying the
sample for 5 to 8 hrs in an oven at 110C. The dry weight is
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 <63m
clays (slimes) are washed from the sample (de-sliming)
using a jet wash and 63m screen.

The <63m slimes (clays) are discarded and the >63m
sub sample is placed in a metal tray and oven dried. When
dry, the >63m 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 (>63m & < 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 for resource style drilling. Image submitted 3
SRM’s for the resource style drilling subject to this release.

Image selected and submitted for analysis 7 field-replicate
samples from field-sample replicates collected to quantify
field sampling precision.

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

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
and this adjusted post drilling using DEM data. More
accurate locations will be determined in future by a
registered surveyor using DGPS equipment where
necessary.

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 at several
prospects on varied spaced drill lines (between 200 m and
400 m) along the strike of mineralised strands.

No sample compositing has been applied – all results are
from 1 m long down hole sample intervals.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
