About Image Resources NL
Image Resources NL (ASX: IMA) is Australian’s newest mineral sands mining company, operating open-cut mining and ore processing facilities at its 100%-owned Boonanarring Mineral Sands Project located 80km north of Perth, in the infrastructure-rich North Perth Basin in Western Australia.
Boonanarring is arguably one of the highest grade, zircon-rich, mineral sands projects in Australia. The project was constructed and commissioned on-time and on-budget in 2018 and production of heavy mineral concentrate ramped-up to exceed name-plate capacity in only the second month of operation (January 2019).
Image has now completed two full years of successful operations (CY2020 and CY2021), with performance meeting or beating market guidance ranges in all categories. NPAT for CY2019 was A$20.8m and A$24.8m for CY 2020. As of February 2021, the Company is debt-free and will be paying an inaugural A$0.02 dividend in April 2021.
The Company is focused on maintaining its strong operational performance while investigating the development of a second operating centre in parallel with current operations. The most likely second operating centre will be at the Company’s Bidaminna project, located 25km northwest of Boonanarring, which is a dredge mining prospect with recently announced Mineral Resources of 102 million tonnes at 2.2% total heavy minerals and a potential mine-life of 10 years.

Property answers to rates. Private credit answers to defaults. Even the […]
The listing fee vendors pay whether the house sells or not
Australia’s property portals collect more than $2 billion a year while national listings sit flat. An Australian-built AI platform is targeting the economics, not just the interface. An Australian vendor listing a home pays a vendor-paid advertising fee on top of agency commission. Rama Dwarapudi, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of RealSearch, puts a typical […]
Reinventing the Condom: How an Australian Deep-Tech Startup Plans to Disrupt a $12 Billion Market
For more than half a century, the global condom industry has remained fundamentally unchanged, constrained by standard materials like latex and solid synthetic polymers. Despite widespread consumer demand for better alternatives, product design has treated the device strictly as a mechanical barrier, sacrificing feel for function. Sydney-based Eudaemon Technologies is setting out to upend that […]
