Explanatory Notes to the Notice of Annual General Meeting 2013
Resolution 1- REMUNERATION REPORT
The Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2013 is as set out in the Directors' Report included in the 2013 Annual Report which is available on Superior Resources Limited website: www.superiorresources.com.au.
The purpose of Resolution 1 is to lay before the Shareholders the Company's Remuneration Report so that Shareholders may ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and vote on whether to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2013.
Pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 the Annual General Meeting of a listed company must propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report, contained within the Annual Report, be adopted.
The resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Company or its directors. The Board will consider the outcome of the vote and comments made by shareholders on the Remuneration Report at the meeting when reviewing the Company's remuneration policies.
From 1 July 2011 the legislation has been amended in relation to voting on the Remuneration Report under section 250 R(2) of the Corporations Act 2011. If 25% or more of votes that are cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second AGMs on a resolution (a "spill resolution") that another meeting be held within 90 days at which all of the Company's directors (other than the Managing Director and CEO) must go up for re-election. Shareholders are encouraged to cast their votes on item 1 (Remuneration Report).
In accordance with section 250R of the Corporations Act, a vote on this resolution must not be cast by, or on behalf of, a member of the Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report, or a Closely Related Party of such member. However, a vote may be cast by such person if:
• the person is acting as proxy and the proxy form specifies how the proxy is to vote, and the vote is not cast on behalf of a person who is otherwise excluded from voting on this Resolution as described above; or
• the person is the Chair voting an undirected proxy which expressly authorises the Chair to vote the proxy on a resolution connected with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.
Resolution 2 - RE- ELECTION OF DIRECTOR Mr Kenneth Harvey
Mr Harvey has been a director of the Company since incorporation. He retires by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of the Company, but being eligible, offers himself for re-election. Details of Mr. Harvey's experience and qualifications are set out in the section "Information on Directors" within the Annual Report.
Ken has over 42 years experience in mineral exploration, management and resource evaluation throughout Australia. He was a long-standing member of a major company's exploration team, which was responsible for many mineral discoveries. Throughout his career he has held numerous management positions within the minerals industry. He has previously operated his own consulting company, KJ Harvey and Associates Pty Ltd.
The Information on Directors section is contained within the Directors' Report in the 2013 Annual Report which is available on Superior Resources Limited website: www.superiorresources.com.au.
The Directors recommend that the resolution be passed.
Resolution 3 - RATIFICATION OF SHARE ISSUE TO Ryan Drilling Services Pty Ltd for drilling services
The purpose of resolution 3 is for Shareholders to approve, pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4, those securities issued on 19 May 2013 pursuant to a drilling services agreement, which will otherwise count toward the 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1.
Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions, none of which are relevant here) prior approval of Shareholders is required for an issue of securities if the securities will, when aggregated with the securities issued by a company during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of the shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.
The allotment and issue of securities detailed in resolution 3 did not exceed the 15% threshold. However, Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where a company subsequently approves an issue of securities, the issue will be treated as having been made with approval for the purpose of Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing that company's 15% capacity and enabling it to issue further securities up to that limit.
Resolution 3 proposes the approval of the previous allotment and issue of securities for the purpose of satisfying the requirements of Listing Rule 7.4.
The information required to be provided to Shareholders to satisfy Listing Rule 7.4 is specified in Listing Rule 7.5.
In compliance with the information requirements of Listing Rule 7.5, members are advised of the following particulars in relation to the allotment and issue:

Resolution 4 - APPROVAL OF ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO ISSUE SHARES UNDER LISTING RULE 7.1A
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12 month period without requiring shareholder approval. In accordance with new Listing Rules 7.1A, eligible entities (companies that are outside the S&P/ASX 300 index and that also have a market capitalisation of $300 million or less) can issue a further 10% of share capital in 12 months on a non-pro rata basis if Shareholder approval is obtained at the Company's AGM.

Information under Listing Rule 7.3A.2:
The table below shows the dilution of existing Shareholders on the basis of the current market price of Shares and the current number of ordinary securities for variable calculated in accordance with the formula in Listing Rule 7.1A(2) as at the date of this Notice.
In particular, it assumes that is calculated upon resolution 3 inclusive being approved at the Annual General Meeting.
- . (A) two examples where variable "A" has increased by 50% and 100%. Variable "A" is based on the number of ordinary securities the Company has on issue. The number of ordinary securities on issue may increase as a result of issues of ordinary securities that do not require shareholder approval (for example, pro rata entitlements issue or scrip issued under a takeover offer) or future specific placements under Listing Rule 7.1 that are approved at a future Shareholders' meeting and
- (B) two examples where the issue price of ordinary securities has decreased by 50% and increased by 100% as against the current market price.

The table has been prepared on the following assumptions:
- The company issues the maximum number of Equity Securities available under the 10% Placement Facility.
- The 10% voting dilution reflects the aggregate percentage dilution against the issued share capital at the time of issue. This is why the voting dilution is shown in each example as 10%.
- The table does not show an example of dilution that may be caused to a particular Shareholder by reason of placements under the 10% Placement Facility, based on that Shareholder's holding at the date of the Meeting.
- The table shoes only the effect of issues of Equity Securities under Listing Rule 7.1A not under the 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
- The issue of Equity Securities under the 10% Placement Facility consists only of Shares.
- There are no options issued and therefore no options are exercised before the date of issue of the Equity Securities.
- Resolution 3 is approved.
- The issue price is $0.012 being the closing price on ASX on 14 October 2013 being the date the Notice was lodged with ASIC.
(iii) The Company will only issue and allot the Equity Securities during the 10% Placement Period. The approval under Resolution 4 for the issue of the Equity Securities will cease to be valid in the event that Shareholders approve a transaction under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 (a significant change to the nature or scale of activities or Listing Rule 11.2 (disposal of main undertaking).
(iv) The Company may seek to issue the Equity Securities for the following purposes:
(A) non-cash consideration for the acquisition of the new resources assets and other investments. In such circumstances the Company will provide a valuation of the non-cash consideration as required by Listing Rule 7.1A.3; or
(B) cash consideration. In such circumstances, the Company intends to use the funds raised towards an acquisition of new assets or other investments (including expense associated with such acquisition), continued exploration and feasibility study expenditure on the Company's current assets and/or general working capital.
The Company will comply with the disclosure obligations under ASX Listing Rules 7.1A(4) and 3.10.5A upon issue of any Equity Securities.
The Company's allocation policy is dependent on the prevailing market conditions at the time of any proposed issue pursuant to the 10% Placement Facility. The identity of the allottees of Equity Securities will be determined on a case-by-case basis having regard to the factors including but not limited to the following:
(A) the methods of raising funds that are available to the Company, including but not limited to, rights issue or other issue in which existing security holders can participate;
(B) the effect of the issue of the Equity Securities on the control of the Company;
- (C) the financial situation and solvency of the Company; and
- (D) advice from corporate, financial and broking advisers (if applicable).
The allottees under the 10% Placement Facility have not been determined as at the date of this Notice but may include existing substantial Shareholders and/or new Shareholders who are not related parties or associates of a related party of the Company.
If the Company is successful in acquiring new resources assets or investments, it may be that the allottees under the 10% Placement Facility will be the vendors of the new resources assets or investments.
(v) The Company has not previously obtained Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1A.
(vi) A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice. At the date of the Notice, the Company has not approached any particular existing Shareholder or security holder or an identifiable class of existing security holder to participate in the issue of the Equity Securities. No existing Shareholder's votes will therefore be excluded under the voting exclusion in the Notice.
(a) Directors' recommendations and interests
The Directors of the Company believe that Resolution 4 is in the best interests of the Company and unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
