Operations
While the Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate decreased to 13.49 (December
Quarter: 19.1), one Recordable Injury occurred during the Quarter.
Mining continued in both Pit 1 and Pit 2 during the Quarter. Extra mining
capacity was utilised to accelerate pre-stripping activities in Pit 2. This
enabled ore to be accessed more quickly to partially compensate for the
underperformance of the Pit 1 orebody at depth (ASX announcement 3 March 2014).
Road and rail haulage volumes for the Quarter were adversely impacted by both
reduced availability of ore for transport and heavy rainfalls which resulted in
61.5 hours of lost road access.
A total of 450,344 tonnes of ore were shipped in six shipments, which was in
line with the Company's expectations. Six shipments are forecast for the June
Quarter.
For the March Quarter, FOB costs averaged $84 per tonne shipped and $104 per
tonne CIF (December Quarter: $94 and $111 respectively). The fall in costs per
tonne was attributable to the six shipments in the March Quarter compared to
five shipments for the December Quarter.
FOB costs per tonne shipped for the remainder of the 2014 financial year are
forecast to average $84 per tonne shipped ($106 per tonne CIF). These costs are
slightly higher than previously reported for the remainder of the 2014 financial
year due to the June 2014 quarter expecting six shipments instead of the
previously forecast seven shipments. The Company continues to operate with
increased rail capacity in order to recover some of the capacity lost due to
technical issues with locomotives and wet weather in 2013.
Operations Cash Flow
The Cairn Hill JV had negative cash flow from operations of $1.3 million
(December Quarter: positive cash flow of $8.1 million). This is a timing issue
only as the provisional invoice cash receipt of $8.6 million for the final
shipment of the March Quarter which departed on 30 March 2014 was received on 3
April 2014. Had the cash for this shipment been received during the March
Quarter, the cash flow would have been in line with the $6.8 million forecast in
the December Quarter.
The iron ore price and AUD/USD exchange rate fell during the provisional pricing
periods and the resulting provisional price received per tonne of
magnetite-copper ore shipped during the March Quarter was $127 per tonne CIF
(December Quarter $127 per tonne CIF). Hedges of the Platts 62% benchmark price
resulted in a positive $0.9m impact on cash flow during the quarter.
During the March Quarter, the Cairn Hill JV made payments of $2.7 million for
adjustments on final invoices, $1.2 million of which related to payments for
shipments in the December Quarter. At spot prices and exchange rates on 31 March
2014, payments for adjustments on final invoices due for settlement in the June
Quarter are estimated to be $7.3 million. This large settlement amount is due to
a combination of falling iron prices and low copper grades of the final two
shipments of the March quarter.
Stockpiles
At the end of the March Quarter, the book value of ore stockpiles, being the
cost to deliver the stockpiles to their present location, was $9.9 million (31
December 2013: $12.9 million). The decrease in the book value of ore stockpiles
was due to lower tonnes mined, which resulted in a drawdown of stockpile levels
in order to achieve six shipments for the Quarter. The breakdown by stockpile
location is shown in Table 2 below.

DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
1. Continuity of operations at Cairn Hill
Phase 2
During the Quarter, the Cairn Hill JV partners approved a Phase 2 extension of
the Cairn Hill Mine that will see it continue operation through to mid-2015 (see
ASX announcement 1 April 2014).
The Phase 2 extension will initially comprise the mining of two new open pits
(Pits 3 and 4) located to the east of the current Pit 1, with production of over
one million tonnes of product. There is potential to further extend the life of
the Cairn Hill Mine with a cut-back to the existing Pit 2.
Based on Consensus Economics forecasts for the first half of 2015 of US$115.50
per tonne for the 62% Platts Iron Ore index and an AUD/USD exchange rate of
0.86, financial modelling indicates that together with Phase 1 operations, the
Phase 2 extension is expected to generate post-tax, free cash flow of
approximately $8.0 million for the Cairn Hill JV.
Owing to the especially coarse nature of Cairn Hill magnetite, existing
customers have been able to produce very high-grade magnetite concentrates which
are highly desirable as feed to the steel-making process. As a result, the
intermediate product from Phase 2 is particularly attractive, with an existing
customer having provided a letter of intent to purchase up to 100% of the Phase
2 product under an agreed pricing model based on the 62% Platts Iron Ore index.
Built on the current mining operation and infrastructure that is already in
place, the Phase 2 extension is part of IMX's broader strategic vision to
establish a minimum five year life at the Cairn Hill Mine.
Hematite exploration
Exploration for direct shipping ore ("DSO") hematite is an important element of
the Company's efforts to maintain ongoing operations at Cairn Hill beyond 2015.
Any discovery of economic DSO hematite at Mt Woods has the potential for
near-term production utilising the road, rail and port infrastructure currently
used by the Cairn Hill Mine.
Results of a pilot drilling program to test hematite at Mt Woods that was
carried out in March 2014 returned wide intersections showing hematite derived
from alteration of a magnetite iron formation (see ASX announcement 1 March 2014
and 21 March 2014). These results show that hematite-forming geological
processes occur at Mt Woods and that the exploration methods applied in the
pilot drilling program can detect it. Since announcing these exploration results
on 1 March 2014 and 21 March 2014, IMX is not aware of any new information or
data that materially affects the information included in that announcement.
Exploration for this style of hematite mineralisation was given added impetus by
the identification of a significant occurrence of high-grade hematite from
previous drilling at the Mt Woods Project. The intersection was identified in
core drilled by former partner OZ Minerals Limited, who were exploring for
copper (see ASX announcement 4 April 2014). Assaying of the hematite rich
interval returned 8.4 metres @ 59.1% Fe from 406.7m (see Table 3).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since announcing these exploration results on 4 April 2014, IMX is not aware of
any new information or data that materially affects the information included in
that announcement.
This intersection at Fyans is too deep and narrow to be of direct economic
significance, but clearly demonstrates that the geochemical processes that
created Arrium's hematite mineralisation at Peculiar Knob were also active on
the Mt Woods tenements.
The Fyans Prospect is located approximately 11km south-west of Peculiar Knob.
2. Mt Woods Magnetite Project, South Australia (IMX 100%)
Investigation into optimised product handling solutions, particularly around the
port were completed during the Quarter, with concept designs developed for
changes to infrastructure.
The spring flora and fauna baseline survey for the Snaefell site was also
finalised, with the field work having been completed during the December
Quarter. This survey was undertaken to ensure that environmental baseline
studies did not impact on the critical path for project permitting.
The process to secure a partner for the evaluation and development of the Mt
Woods Magnetite Project continued during the Quarter. Azure Capital continues to
advise on the process, with a number of potential partners currently engaged at
various stages of review.
EXPLORATION
1. Nachingwea Property, Ntaka Hill (IMX 100%)
Joint venture with MMG
Having entered into a five year, US$60 million joint venture agreement with MMG
in September 2013, MMG immediately commenced funding and directing exploration
at the Nachingwea Project. MMG is targeting a resource in the order of 400,000
tonnes of contained nickel at greater than 1.5% nickel and has implemented a new
exploration program, focussed on delineating high-grade, mafic intrusive style
nickel mineralisation, which is considered to have the potential to increase the
grade and size of the existing resource.
Stage One progressing well
The 'Stage One' work program defined by MMG and which commenced in September
2013, has a budget of US$10 million, with rapid evaluation of the potential for
high-grade nickel discoveries and achievement of MMG's resource target, the
primary objective.
In late 2013, MMG commenced a number of geophysical surveys to further highlight
the potential within the Ntaka-Lionja corridor, including NSAMT (natural source
audio magneto-tellurics), MLEM (moving loop electro-magnetic (EM)) and infill
gravity surveys. Re-logging of oriented drill core and reassessment of down hole
EM (DHEM) surveys have continued and along with the surface geophysical work,
are providing a new understanding of the Ntaka intrusive.
Identification of drill targets is expected to be finalised in April, prior to
the commencement of drilling in the June Quarter.
New zone of mineralisation identified at Ntaka Hill
Assay results received during the March Quarter confirmed a new zone of
mineralisation, referred to as "Ntaka Kati", located 300m north of the current
Sleeping Giant and Zeppelin resource (see ASX Announcement 24 February 2014).
Two holes were drilled, each of which intersected mineralisation, with assay
results including:
-- 71.5m of nickel mineralisation, including 41m @ 0.40% Ni, 16m @ 0.5% Ni
and 14.6m @ 0.7% Ni within 150m of the surface (NAD13-388); and
-- 7.3m @ 1% Ni and 5.9m @ 0.6% Ni (NAD13-387).
Since announcing these exploration results on 24 February 2014, IMX is not aware
of any new information or data that materially affects the information included
in that announcement.
The discovery of Ntaka Kati continues to demonstrate the potential for the
various zones of mineralisation at Ntaka Hill to form part of a much larger
mineralised system up to 1.5km wide.
2. Nachingwea regional exploration
While primarily focused on the Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide Project to identify a
resource in the order of 400,000 tonnes of contained nickel at greater than 1.5%
nickel, MMG is also looking at the broader Nachingwea Project area which covers
6,800 km2 (tenements granted and under application).
Regional targeting for a virgin nickel sulphide discovery is based on an
interpretation of a detailed aeromagnetic/radiometric survey flown in 2010, an
extensive regional soil sampling program and a number of airborne EM (VTEM)
surveys which cover approximately 60% of the Nachingwea Project area.
3. Mt Woods Copper-Gold Exploration, South Australia (IMX 100%)
OZ Minerals completed its withdrawal from the Mt Woods Exploration JV during the
December Quarter, with all mineral rights over the Mt Woods tenements and
interest in those tenements now 100% owned by IMX.
The prospectivity of the Mt Woods tenements, together with the availability of a
significant exploration database established during previous exploration work,
makes this an attractive opportunity for iron oxide copper gold discoveries in
the world-class Gawler Craton mineral province.
A process to secure a joint venture partner for non-iron exploration on the Mt
Woods tenements commenced during the December Quarter and is continuing. A
number of parties have expressed an interest in non-iron exploration at Mt Woods
and several Australian and international copper-gold explorers and producers are
actively engaged in the process.
CORPORATE
Cash position and distributions
As at 31 March 2014, the Group had cash at bank of $12.1 million, as detailed in
Table 4 below:
Table 4. Consolidated Cash Position
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Mar 2014 31 Dec 2013
($m) ($m)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
IMX Resources Limited 3.3 3.1
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cairn Hill JV (51% IMX share is $4.5 million) 8.8 13.7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consolidated Group 12.1 17.7
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Cairn Hill JV cash balance is the working capital required to fund the
operation. Distributions to the JV partners are made so as to retain a cash
balance of at least $3 million at all times.
As at 31 March 2014, IMX's Tanzanian subsidiary Ngwena Limited held $0.1 million
of cash on behalf of MMG. This cash will contribute towards its expenditure on
the Nachingwea JV.
Distributions to the Cairn Hill JV partners amounted to $4.3 million, of which
IMX received $2.1 million (December quarter $11.9 million, IMX share $6.1
million).
In order to provide greater certainty in respect of cash flow from the Cairn
Hill Mine, price protection was put in place for 90% of the Group's iron ore
exposure from January to March 2014. The transactions entered provided a price
for the 62% iron ore benchmark of AUD146.59 (January); AUD144.16 (February); and
AUD136.52 (March) significantly above the spot prices that would have been
achievable.
Appointment of Managing Director and Non-executive Director
During February, Dr Derek Fisher, a highly credentialed mining executive with
over 40 years' experience in mining companies, spanning both corporate and
operational roles, with a particular emphasis on iron ore and nickel projects,
was appointed as a Non-executive Director. Subsequent to the end of the Quarter,
Dr Fisher was appointed Chairman of the Company.
Immediately following the end of the March Quarter, Mr Gary Sutherland was
appointed Managing Director. Mr Sutherland will drive IMX's iron ore growth
strategy, based on its 51% owned Cairn Hill Mine and portfolio of development
and exploration projects, including the 100% owned Mt Woods Magnetite Project.
In parallel with Mr Sutherland's appointment, IMX has decided to relocate its
corporate head office from Perth to Adelaide, a move which is consistent with
the Company's focus on its South Australian iron ore assets and will enable
consolidation of its operational and corporate teams in one location. While this
will result in some one off costs being incurred during the June and September
Quarters, it is expected to deliver significant savings in recurring overhead
costs.

the subject of a farm-in agreement with MMG.
Gary Sutherland, Managing Director
About IMX
IMX Resources Limited is an Australian-based mining and exploration company,
listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange, with
projects located in Australia and East Africa.
In Australia, IMX operates and owns 51% of the Cairn Hill Mine, located 55km
south-east of Coober Pedy in South Australia, where it produces a premium
coarse-grained magnetite-copper-gold DSO product at a rate of 1.8Mtpa. This
operation generates cash flow which underpins the IMX investment proposition.
IMX is also actively exploring for direct shipping hematite at its Mt Woods
tenements, located near the Cairn Hill Mine, and progressing development options
for its Mt Woods Magnetite Project. Studies indicate that a smaller scale, lower
cost project may be developed utilising existing infrastructure already in use
at the Cairn Hill Mine. Efforts to secure a partner to support development of
the Mt Woods Magnetite Project are continuing.
In Africa, IMX owns the highly prospective Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide Project,
located within the broader 6,800km2 Nachingwea Exploration Project in
south-eastern Tanzania which is prospective for nickel and copper sulphide, gold
and graphite mineralization. Ntaka Hill is a potentially world-class nickel
sulphide project which is being explored under a US$60 million exploration joint
venture with MMG Exploration Holdings Limited.
