Tanzanian regulators approve Nachingwea joint venture with MMG

Ntaka Hill drilling program on track to start in May

March 18, 2014 /FSC/ - IMX Resources Ltd. (ASX: IXR, TSX: IXR, IXR.WT), is pleased to advise that it has received Tanzanian regulatory approvals for its joint venture agreement (the "Agreement") with MMG on the Nachingwea Exploration property in Tanzania. This property includes the highly prospective Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide Project.

Under the terms of the Agreement, MMG may earn up to a 60 per cent interest in the Nachingwea property by spending up to US$60 million over a five year period.

The approvals received comprise consent for the Agreement from the Commissioner for Minerals in the Tanzania Ministry of Energy and Minerals and the approval of Stage 1 of the Agreement by the Tanzanian Fair Competition Commission ("FCC").

Discussions with the FCC regarding approval of the subsequent stages of the Agreement are ongoing and expected to be finalised before the completion of Stage 1.

MMG and IMX have agreed that in the unlikely event that there are delays in securing approval from the FCC for the subsequent stages, the timeframe for MMG's expenditure commitments on any stage under the Agreement will be suspended until the approvals are provided. They have also agreed that the requirement for IMX to contribute to costs related to any such delays will be limited to US$2 million for each stage.

Stage 1 of the Agreement, under which MMG is sole-funding expenditure of US$10 million to earn a 15% interest in the project, is well advanced with assessment of geophysical surveys, soil sampling results and review of the various data sets and historical core almost complete. This will enable targets to be generated for the upcoming aggressive drilling program at Ntaka Hill commencing in May 2014.

About IMX Resources Limited

IMX Resources Ltd. 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.

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.
