New Hematite Occurrence at Mt Woods Project Emphasizes DSO Exploration Potential

8.4 Metres @ 59.1% Fe

West Perth, Australia, April 03, 2014 /FSC/ - IMX Resources Ltd.(ASX: IXR, TSX: IXR, IXR.WT) is pleased to advise that it has identified a significant occurrence of high-grade hematite from previous drilling at its Mt Woods Project, located near its operating Cairn Hill Mine in South Australia.

The recent extension of the Cairn Hill Mine (see ASX announcement 1 April 2014) and exploration for direct shipping hematite are key pillars in the Company's strategy to establish a minimum five year life at the Cairn Hill operation. This occurrence enhances confidence that further discoveries of direct shipping hematite ore ("DSO") on the Mt Woods tenements will be made, supporting the Company's ongoing exploration efforts in the region.  

The intersection was identified in core drilled by former JV partner OZ Minerals Ltd. ("OZ Minerals") who were exploring for copper. Assaying of the hematite rich interval returned:

8.4 metres @ 59.1% Fe (from 406.7m, see Table 1).

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.

IMX only recently took possession of the core and visual inspection of the iron-rich intersection from the Fyans Prospect (hole DD12FYA002) confirmed strong mineral and textural similarities with the style of hematite mineralisation at Arrium Limited's nearby Peculiar Knob mine. The Fyans Prospect is located approximately 11km south-west of Peculiar Knob (see Figure 1).

IMX's recent DSO exploration work has shown that gravity surveys and magnetics data are reliable and cost-effective exploration tools for hematite under cover (see ASX announcement 21 March 2014). Since announcing this exploration information on 21 March 2014, IMX is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in that announcement.

Managing Director Gary Sutherland said the discovery of a significant interval of high-grade DSO hematite from historical drilling was an important development.

"While this intersection in itself is not economic, it provides conclusive evidence that high-grade coarse specular hematite mineralisation does indeed occur on our Mt Woods tenements.

"It provides further encouragement to apply the geophysical techniques over the Company's large Mt Woods tenement package.

"This reinforces the validity of our broader strategy which is aimed at building on the strong foundations of our existing South Australian iron ore business to create a minimum five-year life for our Cairn Hill operation," he added.

Competent Person's Statement

Information in this announcement relating to exploration results in connection with the Mt Woods hematite exploration program is based on data compiled by Mr Peter Hill who is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, and who is a full-time employee of IMX. Mr Hill has sufficient relevant experience to qualify as a Competent Person under the 2012 Edition of the Australasian Code for the Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves and as a qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101. Mr Hill approves and consents to the inclusion of the information in the form and context in which it appears.

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 ("TSX"), 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.
