Perth, June 16, 2008 (ABN Newswire) - Image Resources (ASX:IMA)(PINK:IMREF) announce a study of open file information has indicated that the favourable stratigraphy hosting the Dandaragan Trough phosphate sands are likely to extend for a strike length of more than 50km within Image's exploration tenements.

As noted in a previous ASX release (18 March 2008) three of nine recorded outcropping phosphate occurrences in the Dandaragan area occur on Image's tenements. Previous work by the Geological Survey of WA in the 1940's, BHP in the 1970's and Wesfarmers/Australian Fertilisers in the 1980's has demonstrated that phosphate sands are widespread within Upper Cretaceous sediments of the Dandaragan Trough which forms part of the North Perth Basin.

It is significant that one of the best intercepts from previous drilling (19m @ 4.2% P2 05 from 20m depth in Wesfarmers/Australian Fertilisers drill hole 57 situated east of Image's tenements) is located some 10km east of the projected outcrop of the base of the favourable stratigraphy which occurs on the Image tenements. This suggests potential for extensive, shallow phosphate bearing sediments within the Image tenements, depending on the relationship between topography and the flat lying stratigraphy. In particular the favourable stratigraphy is expected to be closest to the surface or sub-outcropping along the western margin of the Upper Cretaceous sediments where they are often obscured by shallow alluvium or laterite.

Upon grant of the tenements and any necessary permitting or land access agreements, Image plans to carry out a programme of scout drilling within the prospective parts of its tenements to assess the potential for shallow, large tonnage phosphate sands amenable to upgrading to a commercial product. This drilling will proceed together with Image's ongoing heavy minerals exploration programme which is designed to augment its recently announced initial heavy mineral resources.
