Address to Shareholders: General Meeting, 17 September 2014


Ladies and Gentlemen

I would like to briefly recap the key developments over recent months which have changed the course of the Company’s strategy, allowing us to reshape our corporate focus and concentrate on those assets which we believe have the best chance of success.

In June, IMX’s 51%-owned Cairn Hill iron ore mine in South Australia became one of the first casualties of the sustained downturn in iron ore prices, resulting in the appointment of Voluntary Administrators to the holding company, Termite Resources NL.

Shortly afterwards, our joint venture partner at the Nachingwea Property in south-east Tanzania, MMG Exploration Holdings Limited (“MMG”), announced its withdrawal after completing the Stage 1 expenditure commitment of US$10 million and thereby earning a 15% interest.

Notwithstanding these setbacks, the Company had already been pursuing a broader exploration strategy within our Nachingwea Property, which offers exceptional exploration upside and is prospective for a range of valuable minerals including nickel, gold, copper and graphite.

While MMG had been focusing on a nickel project at Ntaka Hill, some of the extensive data generated both by the joint venture with MMG and work carried out in recent years, gave our exploration teams some exciting new leads, enabling us to identify two outstanding new prospects.

First was the discovery of the Kishugu Prospect, a very large, coherent, gold-in-soil anomaly which measures 4km by 5.5km, that has been defined by an extensive grid of reconnaissance sampling and has emerged as a standout gold exploration target.

Second was confirmation of the significant graphite potential at the Chilalo Prospect, where rock chip samples have returned high-grade graphite results with assays of up to 29.6 per cent carbon. The Chilalo Prospect is located within the Mozambique belt, which is well known for hosting high-grade, coarse flake graphite deposits such as Syrah Resources’ Balama deposit and Uranex’s Nachu Project.

We are looking forward to the commencement of ground-based exploration activities – including drilling, which is scheduled to begin in October – at both Chilalo and Kishugu.

In order to enable commencement of exploration programs at Chilalo and Kishugu, and to ensure that the Company is appropriately positioned, we recently announced an underwritten placement of 110 million shares at 2.7 cents per share to sophisticated investors to raise $2.97 million before costs, to fund the upcoming exploration programs. The shareholder approval sought today is for the second tranche of this placement comprising the issue of 55 million shares, following successful completion of the first tranche last month. In addition, we have undertaken a restructure of board, management and staffing to align with our focus on exploration in Tanzania.

In summary, I am confident that we now have the right team, the right assets, and the right focus to move forward and create value for our shareholders.

I look forward to keeping you informed of our progress as exploration activities in Tanzania commence next month.
