ASX-listed Image Resources has started minor, or preliminary works, activities at its Atlas mineral sands project, north of Perth in Western Australia.

Preliminary works include the construction of the Atlas accommodation camp and deconstruction of the wet concentration plant (WCP) at Boonanarring in preparation for transport to Atlas.

The camp is being constructed on Image-owned private land, under an approved development application with the local shire. Deconstruction of the Boonanarring WCP and associated equipment is scheduled to start this month.

On ground construction of civils, the erection of processing equipment, mining box cut and supporting infrastructure are scheduled to start in the third quarter, following permitting approvals.

“We continue to advance pre-development activities for Atlas, and it is gratifying to be able to see the light at the end of the tunnel leading to the commencement of on-ground construction activities.

“We have an aggressive construction schedule with ambitions for first HMC production late in the fourth quarter 2024 or early first quarter 2025, leading to first revenue in the first quarter of 2025,” said MD and CEO Patrick Mutz.
