FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT Certain statements made during or in connection with this communication, including, without limitation, those concerning the economic outlook for the mining industry, expectations regarding prices, exploration or development costs and other operating results, growth prospects and the outlook of Image’s operations contain or comprise certain forward looking statements regarding Image’s operations, economic performance and financial condition. Although Image believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward looking statements as a result of, among other factors, changes in economic and market conditions, success of business and operating initiatives, changes that could result from future acquisitions of new exploration properties, the risks and hazards inherent in the mining business (including industrial accidents, environmental hazards or geologically related conditions), changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, risks inherent in the ownership, exploration and operation of or investment in mining properties, fluctuations in prices and exchange rates and business and operations risks management, as well as generally those additional factors set forth in our periodic filings with ASX. Image undertakes no obligation to update publicly or release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after today’s date or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

CHANGE QUALITY MARKETING INVESTMENT

Markets, economic drivers, investment climate

Quality of resources is a key driver

Bulk commodity marketing = bulk commodity pricing

Counter-cyclic investment is essential

10 4. SUSTAINABILITY

All proposed operations at Boonanarring will be carried out on cleared farmland

At the end of mining and processing operations the land will be returned to pre-mining topography and land use

Environmental studies to date have not indicated any significant environmental impediments

The public review period for the Boonanarring PER ended on 12th February.

Work has commenced on secondary approvals processes.

The aim is to have all required licences and approvals in place in time to start work on site in October 2014.

38 THE TEAM APPENDICES

PETER DAVIES – DIRECTOR/PROJECT MANAGER Peter Davies, appointed as Managing Director in May 2012, is a mining engineer with 39 years of global experience in project evaluation and management of mining, chemicals and mineral sands operations. From 1995 to 2000 he was Manager/General Manager of the Tiwest Chandala mineral sands and Synthetic Rutile processing facilities north of Perth. In 2000 he was transferred by Kerr-McGee Chemicals (later Tronox) to manage the TiO2 pigment plant at Antwerp and from 2001 to 2006 was Director of European Operations, in charge of the pigment plants at Uerdingen (Germany), and Botlek (The Netherlands). Peter joined Image in February 2012. GEORGE SAKALIDIS – TECHNICAL DIRECTOR (MD UNTIL MAY 2012) George Sakalidis is an exploration geophysicist with over 25 years’ industry experience, during which time his career has included extensive gold, diamond, base metals and mineral sands exploration. Mr Sakalidis has been involved in a number of significant mineral discoveries,. He was also instrumental in the design of the magnetic surveys and exploration drilling program that led to the discovery of the large mineral sands resources at Magnetic Minerals Limited's Dongara Project. Magnetic Minerals were taken over by Ticor in early 2003. The geophysical techniques used by Image and George Sakalidis’ proven ability to interpret the results in order to find economic mineralisation which has been missed by other companies, gives Image a significant competitive advantage in this field.
