IMX Resources Limited (TSX:IXR)(TSX:IXR.WT)(News - Market indicators) ('IMX' or the 'Company') is pleased to report the first round of assay results from its 2013 drilling program at the Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide Project (the 'Ntaka Hill Project') in south eastern Tanzania.

The holes drilled in May and June 2013 were targeted on testing the extent of proposed extensions to the mineralisation to the north, south and west of the strongly mineralised G and J Zones at the north-east extremity of the Ntaka Hill intrusion. All holes were targeted based on coincident soil anomalism, down hole electromagnetic ('DHEM') targets and high gravity measurements.

Managing Director Neil Meadows commented, "The intent of the initial phase of our drilling campaign for 2013 was to test the northern extent of the Ntaka Hill intrusion. The results suggest that we have now defined the northern extent of the higher grade mineralisation. Drill results from NAD13-353 in particular are encouraging as they indicate the potential to link G and J Zones. However, given the overall quality of the mineralisation intercepted in the initial drilling program, the decision has been made to focus the next phase of our drilling campaign at Ntaka Hill to the south, where we have previously achieved the most encouraging results in and around Sleeping Giant. There may be more mineralisation along the northern extent of the Ntaka Hill intrusion, but if so it is likely to be much deeper than we have drilled to date."

Nickel and copper mineralisation was found in all except two of the holes drilled at these locations as detailed in Appendix 1, with a summary of the significant intersections being:

• Hole NAD13-351: 4 metres from 88m @ 0.53% nickel and 0.19% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-352: 10.2 metres from 167m @ 0.48% nickel and 0.15% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-353: 1.2 metres from 153m @ 1.12% nickel
  
  
• Hole NAD13-354: 21.4 metres from 139m @ 0.40% nickel including 0.6 metres @ 1.47% nickel and 0.11% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-357: 0.25 metres from 46.75m @ 2.00% nickel, 0.12% copper and 0.35 metres from 49.3m @ 2.39% nickel and 0.46% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-360: 16 metres from 54m @ 0.29% nickel and 0.08% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-362: 1 metre from 243m @ 0.83% nickel and 0.25% copper
  
  
• Hole NAD13-364: 10 metres from 55m @ 0.37% nickel and 0.09% copper
  
  

Drilling has extended our knowledge of the high-grade mineralisation to the south of J Zone, and our belief is that this high-grade mineralisation may extend further at depths beyond current drilling. Disseminated mineralisation remains open to the south and north of G and J Zones.

NAD13-353 has provided encouraging results with shallow mineralisation being discovered in the area between the two known deposits (G and J Zones) offering potential for these two zones to be joined together by infill drilling. This is supported by results from 2012 which returned high-grade mineralisation between G and J Zones. Further drilling will however be required to definitively establish this.

Targeting in the north has been complicated due to the presence of large amounts of graphite which provides false targets in DHEM measurements and surface induced polarisation techniques. Drilling in the north will be reconsidered later in the season as this location is better suited for the wet season between December and April.

Drilling is currently focusing on the south of the Ntaka intrusion as this offers the opportunity to significantly increase resources in the immediate future. Results from the work completed to date in that area will be available for release in the coming weeks.

Competent Persons / Qualified Person / NI 43-101 Statement

Information in this announcement relating to quality control and technical information on exploration results has been prepared under the supervision of Mr Mathew Perrot in his capacity as Senior Exploration Geologist for IMX. Mr Perrot is a registered member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and 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 ('JORC 2012') and as a qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101 ('NI 43-101'). Mr Perrot has verified the data underlying the information contained in this announcement and approves and consents to the inclusion of the data in the form and context in which it appears.

Quality Control

Drill core samples (NQ) are cut in half by a diamond saw on site. Half of the core is retained for reference purposes. Samples are generally 1.0 metre intervals or less, at the discretion of the site geologists. Sample preparation is completed at the on-site sample preparation laboratory under the supervision of ALS Chemex South Africa ('ALS'). Sample pulps were sent by courier to the ALS Chemex analytical laboratory in Johannesburg, South Africa. Blank samples and commercially prepared and certified Ni sulphide analytical control standards with a range of grades are inserted in every batch of 20 samples, or a minimum of one per sample batch. Analyses for Ni, Cu and Co are completed using a peroxide fusion preparation and ICP-AES finish (Analytical Code ME-ICP61). Analyses for Pt, Pd, and Au are by fire assay with an ICP-AES finish (Analytical Code PGM-ICP23).

About IMX Resources Limited

IMX Resources Limited is an Australian based mining and base and precious metals exploration company, listed on the Australian Securities Exchange and Toronto Stock Exchange ('TSX'), with projects located in Australia, Africa and North America.

In Africa, IMX owns and operates the highly prospective Nachingwea Exploration Project in south-eastern Tanzania, which includes the potentially word-class Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide project, located approximately 250km west of the port town of Mtwara. Nachingwea is highly prospective for nickel and copper sulphide, gold and graphite mineralisation. The Ntaka Hill Nickel Sulphide Project is one of the world's best undeveloped nickel sulphide projects and has the potential to produce a very clean, high quality premium nickel concentrate.

In Australia, IMX operates and owns 51% of the Cairn Hill Mining Operation, located 55 kilometres 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.

IMX is actively developing the Mt Woods Magnetite Project on the highly prospective Mt Woods Inlier in South Australia. IMX currently has a JORC Inferred Mineral Resource of 569Mt @ 27% Fe at the Snaefell Magnetite Deposit and a Global Exploration Target of between 900Mt-1,200Mt @ 20-32% Fe elsewhere in the project. Studies indicate that coarse grained concentrates that could be produced at Snaefell, have the potential to attract a significant price premium. The Global Exploration Target tonnage quantity and grades estimates are conceptual in nature only. These figures are not a Mineral Resource estimate as defined by the 2004 Edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves or NI 43-101, as insufficient exploration has been conducted to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource.

IMX has a joint venture with OZ Minerals Limited ('OZ Minerals'), the Mt Woods Copper-Gold Joint Venture Project, to explore the Mt Woods tenements for copper and gold. OZ Minerals is spending a minimum of AUD 20 million for a 51% interest in the non-iron rights, with IMX retaining a 49% interest in the non-iron rights and 100% of the iron ore rights.

These factors include the inherent risks involved in the exploration and development of mineral properties, the uncertainties involved in interpreting drilling results and other geological data, fluctuating metal prices, the possibility of project cost overruns or unanticipated costs and expenses, the ability of contracted parties (including laboratories and drill companies to provide services as contracted), uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future and other factors. Exploration Target tonnage quantity and grades estimates are conceptual in nature only. These figures are not Mineral Resource estimates as defined by JORC 2012 or NI 43-101, as insufficient exploration has been conducted to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a Mineral Resource. Mineral Resources that are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability.
