Chairman's Review 2009

During the 2008 – 2009 year Superior continued its exploration program to realise its objective of finding a major base metal orebody in northwest Queensland. Exploration was principally directed to the Dajarra, Nicholson, Inca and Victor projects with drilling completed on the first three projects. Because Superior has funding for its exploration program in place it has been able to direct most of its attention to exploration during the year.

The results from the 2008 – 2009 year, as always with exploration, include some highs and some lows. The results from the Dajarra Project were in part disappointing but this relatively large prospective block of ground could still produce results as exploration continues. Similarly, at the Inca Project, the drilling of the Flora Prospect did not produce evidence of significant mineralisation. The focus in this project will now shift to the Buckley River area where the VTEM results show a number of anomalies which will be investigated.

In comparison to the Dajarra and Inca results the recent results from the Nicholson and Victor projects appear quite encouraging. The pyritic shale intersected in the three holes drilled at Walford South could indicate that a stratiform deposit exists in the area and the gravity anomaly from the recent gravity survey apparently provides high-quality targets for testing in 2010. Modelling of the gravity data needs to be completed before the final targets are determined. The target zone at Walford South is relatively deep but well within the depths commonly mined in today's world.

At the Victor Project the Kingfisher Copper Prospect shows considerable outcropping copper mineralisation which is positive for this prospect particularly considering the large amount of Cambrian cover in the area which may obscure other areas of copper mineralisation. While this prospect has good potential for small near surface copper deposits it is uncertain at this stage if the area has potential for the larger deposits for which Superior is searching. The gravity survey currently in progress should greatly assist in determining drilling targets for larger deposit in the area.

In addition to its project exploration program, Superior continues to evaluate available opportunities for major deposits. None of the opportunities investigated to date has been considered worthy of investment.

The coming year again promises to be an interesting one for Superior with drilling programs likely for the Walford South and Kingfisher Copper prospects and further exploration in other project areas investigating the potential for larger deposits.

I commend the following pages to you. Please read them fully so that you can be aware of the Company and Director's focus in progressing your company.

Corporate Review

COMPANY BACKGROUND

Superior Resources Limited (ASX code: SPQ) is a Brisbane based company exploring for large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits in northwest Queensland, Australia.

Superior currently holds a total of 15 exploration permits and applications grouped into six key project 2 areas. At present these company tenements cover approximately 3,600 km of the highly prospective northwest Queensland minerals province.

The company has an active exploration program on these project areas and a very strong focus on northwest Queensland with most activity directed to the discovery of major base metal deposits of the Mount Isa style. Uranium, phosphate and diamonds are secondary targets for exploration.

CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

Superior's aim is to increase shareholder value through the discovery of at least one large base metal deposit and it has developed a strategy to achieve this aim.

Mineral deposits occur in a range of sizes from local mineral occurrences to giant deposits. In today's world of ever increasing regulation and restrictions, Superior's Directors believe it is no longer viable for explorers to look for small to medium sized deposits unless these deposits have very high grades. Large deposits on the other hand usually have sufficient value to carry the costs of the increasing regulation and restrictions. Superior has therefore embarked on a search for a large mineral deposit and it has chosen the northwest Queensland area where a number of large mineral deposits are known and the potential is high for the discovery of further large deposits.

A search for large mineral deposits requires a somewhat different approach from that for small to medium sized deposits and Superior's has adopted an approach which the Directors believe is appropriate for such a search. This approach differs from the traditional approach of looking for surface indications of mineralisation and then testing this mineralisation to see if sufficient material is present at a sufficient grade to be economic. While this latter approach has been successful in the past and may continue to be successful in the future the deposits being found using this approach are getting smaller as this approach is only applicable to outcropping areas where often considerable exploration has previously been done. Superior uses a conceptual approach which identifies permissive environments where large mineral deposits are likely to occur and then explores these areas. Models, derived from the existing large mineral deposits, are an integral part of this approach.

Once a permissive environment is identified, Superior utilises advanced exploration methods (particularly geophysics) with modern computer modelling of results to produce targets for further testing. The geophysical methods employed to date include airborne electromagnetics (EM), downhole EM and gravity. Survey results are subjected to advanced computer modelling to produce three dimensional models which are integrated with Superior's other data including historical data.

Drilling is an important part of Superior's exploration programs and drill testing of targets is seen as an essential part of the exploration process. The search for large deposits using a conceptual approach, in general, requires deeper drill holes than small deposit exploration.

Superior utilises experienced explorers in its exploration as they offer the best chance for discovery of resources.

Operations Report

INTRODUCTION

Superior maintains a strong combined cash and liquid assets position with funding available for at least the next two years at the current expenditure rate. This allows the main focus of activities to be on the discovery of resources.

During the 2008-2009 year Superior maintained its previous approach to exploration with large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits being its principal exploration targets and advanced geophysics with modern computer interpretation followed by drilling being utilised during exploration. While the prices for copper, lead, zinc and silver have retreated during the global financial crisis these commodities are the targets with the greatest potential for discovery in northwest Queensland and they remain as Superior's principal target commodities.

Some attention was directed to diamond exploration during the year but only minor effort was directed to phosphate and uranium. Phosphate prices have retreated to more historical levels and uranium exploration is difficult to justify while the Queensland Government maintains its ban on uranium mining in Queensland.

Superior holds 7 million shares in ASX listed uranium explorer, Deep Yellow Limited, and through this investment it has some exposure to exploration for uranium.

As Superior has its funding in place for the next two year's exploration the effects of the global financial crisis have largely been positive in that exploration services, including drilling services, are more readily available and prices for services are generally lower. The crisis has, however, had an impact on consumption patterns and on the prices for commodities which in turn impacts on the required target grades needed for discoveries.

Superior continues its approach of maximising its discovery target value and chances of discovery while keeping a firm control on expenditure. Target value is maximised by searching for major deposits. Exploration budgets are carefully managed to ensure that as much as possible of the funds expended are directed to exploration with administrative costs kept to a minimum.

The 2008-2009 year saw the continuation of the exploration program commenced in the 2007-2008 year with the following major work programs during the year and into the 2009 - 2010 year:

  • ! a gravity survey followed by drilling at the Elizabeth Prospect in the Dajarra Project,
  • ! a drilling program at the Flora Prospect in the Inca Project,
  • ! a drilling program in progress at the Walford South Prospect in the Nicholson Project,
  • ! a gravity survey in progress in the Nicholson Project,
  • ! a gravity survey in progress in the Victor Project.

Projects and Tenements

Figure 1: Superior Resources Limited - Project and tenement locations.

Superior has an active exploration program on five project areas with a further project area under application in northwest Queensland. A total of 12 granted exploration permits and 3 exploration permit applications make up the six project areas (Figure 1). Most of these tenements were originally selected for exploration for large base metal deposits. All tenements are wholly owned by Superior and no agreements have been entered into over any of the tenements.

During the year reductions in the areas held in some of the projects has occurred. Some of these reductions have been required by the terms of the exploration permits and some have been done to minimise the costs of tenement rents. In all cases areas with the best potential for mineral deposits have been retained. Reductions in tenement areas have generally been made in areas of deeper cover where exploration is more difficult and exploration costs are usually higher.

Exploration

Superior's exploration for the 2008-2009 year has been focused on the Dajarra, Nicholson, Victor and Inca projects with a little activity in the Myally Project and no activity in the Wonomo Project which has not yet been granted.

Dajarra Project

The Dajarra Project, located 150km south-southwest of Mount Isa, encompasses six granted exploration permits. The target in the Dajarra Project is a major copper or lead-zinc-silver deposit but the area also has potential for phosphate, diamonds and uranium. The area is interpreted to be the faulted southern extension ('Southern Isa Offset') of the Leichhardt River Fault Trough which hosts the copper and lead-zincsilver mineralisation at Mount Isa.

Early work in the Dajarra Project area identified two relatively large unexplored areas of Mount Isa Group sediments (RFZ and Elizabeth prospects) situated adjacent to areas of shallow cover. These areas were considered to have excellent potential for Mount Isa style deposits. Most of the effort to date in the Dajarra Project has been directed to these areas.

Both areas of Mount Isa Group sediments were flown with Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetics (VTEM) in July 2007.

A moderate order VTEM anomaly was located at the RFZ Prospect and the area

was subjected to geological mapping, soil and rock geochemical sampling and drilling during the 2007 – 2008 year. During the 2008 – 2009 year little work has been completed on the RFZ area but further work, including a gravity survey, is planned for the RFZ area early in the 2009 – 2010 year.

In the Elizabeth Prospect area high-ranking conductive anomalies were found in the July 2007 VTEM survey and a more detailed VTEM survey was completed in December 2007. Eight drill holes were completed into the Elizabeth Prospect in the 2007 – 2008 year. Two of these holes intersected low-grade copper and lead-zinc mineralisation within pyritic and dolomitic siltstones on the western side of the area.

During the 2008 – 2009 year a detailed gravity survey was completed over the Elizabeth Prospect (Figure 2). The gravity data was modelled

and it showed pronounced density lows in the northern and eastern parts of the Elizabeth Prospect. Further subtle density highs were modelled in the vicinity of the conductivity anomalies modelled from the EM surveys in the central part of the Elizabeth Prospect area and these were considered encouraging for sulphide mineralisation in these areas. Eight drill holes were drilled at Elizabeth during the year and an earlier drill hole was extended. Details of the drill holes completed are in Table 1.

The pronounced gravity/density low at the northern end of the Elizabeth Prospect was considered to have potential for diamonds and two holes were drilled into this feature. Drilling conditions were difficult but one hole (EZ009) was drilled successfully with diamond drilling (DD) to a depth of 514.7m. This hole indicated that the gravity/density low feature was caused by intense oxidation, weathering and leaching of Proterozoic dolomitic sediments beneath a thick sequence of more recent sediments deposited in a very deep old lake.

While the lake sediments appeared encouraging as possible crater sediments above a diamond pipe, core logging and assays below the sediments gave no encouragement for the presence of a potential diamond bearing host rock. It is now considered unlikely that the Elizabeth Prospect has diamond potential.

High silver values were returned from assaying of some of the leached core but further investigations indicated that these values were likely to be due to contamination from the copper-silver alloy which is used in most diamond drill bits to bind the diamonds in the bit to the body of the bit.

The second hole (EZ015) drilled into the pronounced gravity/density low feature was drilled using a reverse circulation (RC) drilling rig without the possible silver contamination issue. This hole also intersected strongly leached material beneath lake sediments. Anomalous copper values were intersected in this hole in strongly ferruginous brecciated material beneath the crater sediments and these copper results are considered encouraging.

Figure 2: Elizabeth Prospect - Bouguer gravity image showing drill holes. target areas and

It is now considered that the pronounced density/gravity low feature underlying the circular feature at Elizabeth was caused by the following events:

  • ! intense leaching of dolomitic rocks which produced a large cavity at depth
  • ! collapsing of the cavity roof to form a large surface depression which became a lake
  • ! progressive filling of the lake with sediment washed in from the surrounding area
  • ! continued leaching with further collapsing into resulting cavities at depth

An interpreted section through the Elizabeth Circular Feature is shown in Figure 3.

The reason for the intense leaching and cavity formation is uncertain at this stage but it may be caused by the production of acid due to the oxidation of sulphides and the leaching of carbonates from dolomitic siltstones and dolomite. Deep weathering/leaching zones are reported in the vicinity of some orebodies (eg Mount Isa and Lady Annie) and the feature at Elizabeth may have a similar origin.

Two holes (EZ012 and EZ013) were drilled into the gravity/density low feature in the eastern part of the Elizabeth Prospect area and another hole (EZ007), drilled in the previous year, was extended to intersect the rocks below this density low feature. The drilling indicated lake sediments above dolomitic siltstone and dolomite and it appears that the gravity/density low feature in this area has a similar origin to that at the northern circular feature.

The remaining four holes (EZ010, EZ011, EZ014 and EZ016) were drilled on combined conductivity and density high features. Assay data from these drill holes indicate that the drilling intersected only low-grade copper, lead and zinc values. The drilling indicates that graphite is probably responsible for the conductivity anomalies at Elizabeth and that the modelled density high anomalies are probably related to a higher pyrite content in the graphitic sediments.

Figure 3: Elizabeth Prospect – Interpreted geological section through the circular feature.

Photograph 1: Leached collapse breccia in hole EZ009 at the Elizabeth Prospect.

The drilling completed on the Elizabeth Prospect has downgraded the prospect as a target area for large deposits. The drilling, however, has only tested the northern half of the prospect area and potential still remains in the southern covered portion of the area. It is likely that activity in the Dajarra Project in the near future will be directed at the RFZ prospect and that the future exploration program at Elizabeth will be dependent on the results of a review of all results to be completed during the coming wet season.

Drilling of the northern gravity/density low feature at the Elizabeth Prospect was supported by a grant up to an amount of $50,000 by the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy as a 50% subsidy of the direct drilling costs under the Queensland Government's Collaborative Drilling Initiative (CDI).

Nicholson Project

The Nicholson Project (Figure 1), which is situated 350km northnorthwest of Mount Isa, consists of one granted exploration permit and one exploration permit application. The target in the area is a large copper or lead-zinc-silver deposit.

During the 2007 – 2008 year Superior flew two of the more prospective areas within the Nicholson Project with VTEM. Modelling of the VTEM data was completed along with reinterpretation of two previous explorer's airborne EM surveys which resulted in the definition of a number of prospective conductive targets. The most prospective conductive target from this work was the Walford South Prospect which lies immediately south of the Walford Creek Prospect held by another party. The work also identified a prospective area on the western side of the tenement and close to the Queensland - Northern Territory border and referred to as the Nicholson West Prospect.

Compilation of gravity data from previous explorers also gave support to the potential of the Walford South area for base metal deposits.

At the end of the 2008 – 2009 year drilling of the Walford South Prospect was in progress. This drilling has since been completed and results are progressively being compiled. Since the end of the year a gravity survey has also been completed over the Walford South Prospect and a small gravity survey has also been completed over the Nicholson West Prospect.

Walford South Base Metal Prospect

The main target at the Walford South Prospect is a large Proterozoic stratiform lead-zinc-silver deposit similar to the major Century Deposit located 100km to the south of the Nicholson Project. A copper deposit associated with any lead-zinc-silver deposit is also a target.

The main potential at the Walford South Prospect lies within the Mt Les Siltstone which hosts the Walford Creek mineralisation to the north of Walford South. This unit dips southerly from Walford Creek and occurs at depth in the Walford South Prospect area.

Three diamond drill holes have been completed at the Walford South Prospect. Details of the drill holes are included in Table 2 and the holes are shown in Figure 4.

Table 2: Walford South Prospect - Drill Hole Details.

All drill holes intersected the Mt Les Siltstone. The drilling indicated a thickening of the Mt Les Siltstone and the overlying Doomadgee Formation towards the south and this was partly responsible for the intersections being deeper than predicted.

Pyritic shale was intersected within the Mt Les Siltstone in all drill holes at Walford South with the intersection in hole WS003 (Table 3) being slightly thicker than in the other holes.

* The pyritic shale contains an estimated 30 to 80% pyrite

All holes contained some scattered areas of low-grade sphalerite mineralisation.

The presence of substantial amounts of strongly pyritic shale in the drill holes is encouraging as pyritic shale halos are associated with many of the large stratiform lead-zinc-silver deposits in northwest Queensland and the Northern Territory.

Photograph 3: Diamond drilling in progress at hole WS003 at the Walford South Prospect.

Drilling of the Walford South Prospect was supported by a grant up to an amount of $150,000 by the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy as a 50% subsidy of the direct drilling costs under the Queensland Government's Collaborative Drilling Initiative (CDI).

The results of the new detailed gravity survey completed over the Walford South Prospect are shown in Figure 4. This survey largely validates the earlier compilation of historical gravity data for the area but provides much more accurate detail than was previously available. No modelling of the gravity data has yet been completed but it appears that the bouguer gravity anomaly in the centre of the area is reflecting the denser pyritic sediments intersected in the drilling including the strongly pyritic shale in the Mt Les Siltstone.

Figure 4: Walford South Prospect - Bouguer gravity image showing recent drill holes and target areas.

The gravity survey data indicates a close association of the broader bouguer gravity anomaly with the Calvert Fault Zone which lies on the southern side of the Walford South Prospect. Many of the large stratiform lead-zinc-silver deposits in northwest Queensland and the Northern Territory occur adjacent to large regional faults such as the Calvert Fault.

The bouguer gravity image also indicates three specific target areas (Figure 4) north of the Calvert Fault Zone of which only one (Target 1) has been tested by drilling to date. From a conceptual point of view targets north of the fault zone have better potential for lead-zinc-silver mineralisation. A gravity target (Target 4) is also indicated on the southern branch of the Calvert Fault. From a conceptual point of view this target has better potential for copper mineralisation.

Subject to favourable results from modelling of the gravity survey results further drilling is likely in the Walford South prospect area in the 2009 – 2010 year.

Victor Project

The Victor Project is situated 180km north-northwest of Mount Isa (Figure 1). One granted exploration permit (EPM 16028) comprises this project. The tenement largely lies within the 'Wild Rivers' area and this may restrict the work program possible in the area.

The area has potential for large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits hosted in the Lady Loretta and other formations which are considered equivalents to sediments that host mineralisation elsewhere in northwest Queensland. The prospective Proterozoic rocks are largely covered by a thin veneer of Cambrian limestone which makes exploration more difficult than in outcropping areas.

Initial work by Superior on the Victor Project involved the compilation and interpretation of data from previous explorers. The data included results from airborne EM surveys and a considerable number of drill holes. Of greatest interest from this compilation and interpretation was an area of copper mineralisation at the Kingfisher Copper Prospect.

Kingfisher Copper Prospect

Copper mineralisation at the Kingfisher Copper Prospect occurs within siltstones and dolomitic siltstones of the Lady Loretta Formation and also within the basal units of the overlying Cambrian sediments.

During the 2008 – 2009 year a field assessment of the Kingfisher Copper Prospect was completed to determine an appropriate exploration program for the area. A number of samples of copper mineralised outcrops taken during this field assessment (Figure 5) returned high-grade copper values which indicated that potential existed for near surface high-grade copper mineralisation in the area. Potential also appeared to exist for larger amounts of copper

mineralisation at depth in the vicinity of the Kingfisher Copper Prospect.

Gravity was considered to be an appropriate method of determining if a large copper target existed and a gravity survey is currently underway in the area. Further work for a larger copper target will depend on the results from this gravity survey.

Inca Project

The Inca Project (Figure 1) which straddles the Mount Isa to Camooweal Road lies 110km northwest of Mount Isa. The project is made up of three granted exploration permits including the Buckley River exploration permit which was granted during the 2008 – 2009 year.

The principal target in the Inca Project is a major copper or lead-zincsilver deposit. The area also has potential for large sedimentary phosphate deposits.

The project covers prospective Proterozoic sediments with a generally shallow cover of Cambrian sediments mainly in the western portion of the area.

The two main prospect areas are the Flora and Buckley prospects. Both of these prospects have been identified from airborne EM surveys including Superior's VTEM survey completed in July 2007.

Flora Prospect

Four RC holes for 1228m were drilled into the Flora Prospect early in the 2008 – 2009 year. The holes were sited to test a conductivity anomaly on the northern side of the Inca Creek Fault which was an interpreted prospective east-west fault. All four holes intersected a thick sequence of approximately 200m of Cambrian rocks before intersecting Proterozoic siltstones. The Proterozoic siltstones showed deep Cambrian palaeo-weathering above pyritic and graphitic siltstones which were sufficiently conductive to explain the conductivity anomaly and no further drilling is warranted. Details of the holes drilled are shown in Table 4.

Buckley Prospect

The Buckley Prospect lies in the southeast corner of the Buckley River exploration permit.

An historical airborne EM survey showed a strong anomaly in the Buckley River area and a VTEM survey was completed by Superior to cover the area surrounding the anomaly. This survey outlined the original EM anomaly and showed a number of other very strong EM anomalies in the surrounding area (Figure 6).

Previous drilling on the original anomaly intersected conductive graphitic sediments which explained the anomaly. Similar sediments

may also be responsible for some of the other anomalies but this will not be known until a field program including drilling is completed. This program is planned for the 2009 - 2010 year.

Figure 6: Buckley Prospect - VTEM profiles showing the VTEM anomalies on Aster satellite imagery.

Myally Project

The Myally Project which is located 170km north of Mount Isa consists of one granted exploration permit. The area contains both Proterozoic rocks partly covered by relatively thin Cretaceous sediments. The main targets remaining in the area are uranium deposits in Proterozoic rocks and the overlying Cretaceous sediments.

Drilling during the 2007 – 2008 year tested the Toolebuc Formation for uranium deposits. While this work failed to indicate economic uranium grades within the Toolebuc Formation it did indicate potential for sandstone uranium deposits in a permeable unit comprised of sandstone, clayey sandstone and conglomerate lying below the claystone enclosing the Toolebuc Formation. This permeable unit contains variable but appreciable amounts of pyrite and carbonaceous material (wood). These are ideal materials for depositing uranium on an oxidising – reducing boundary.

Further drilling on this uranium target was not completed during the 2008 -2009 year because of the Queensland Government's policy of not allowing uranium mining in Queensland.

Wonomo Project

The Wonomo Project is situated 120km south of Mount Isa (Figure 1).

It is unlikely that the two exploration permit applications comprising the Wonomo Project will be granted until the 2010 year.

Review of operations

The loss for the year was $655,931 after income tax benefit of $279,235 (2008: loss of $954,729).

Superior maintains a strong combined cash and liquid assets position with funding available for at least the next two years at the current expenditure rate. This allows the main focus of activities to be on the discovery of resources.

During the 2008-2009 year Superior maintained its previous approach to exploration with large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits being its principal exploration targets and advanced geophysics with modern computer interpretation followed by drilling being utilised during exploration.

The 2008-2009 year saw the continuation of the exploration program commenced in the 2007-2008 year with the following major work programs during the year and into the 2009 - 2010 year:

  • ! a gravity survey followed by drilling at the Elizabeth Prospect in the Dajarra Project,
  • ! a drilling program at the Flora Prospect in the Inca Project,
  • ! a drilling program in progress at the Walford South Prospect in the Nicholson Project,
  • ! a gravity survey in progress at the Walford South Prospect in the Nicholson Project,
  • ! a gravity survey in progress at the Kingfisher Copper Prospect in the Victor Project.

Significant changes in the state of affairs of the company during the financial year were as follows:

2009$
(a) Significant gains and expenses:
Expenses:
Net loss on revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets 910,000

* The company's investment in listed securities are disclosed as available-for-sale financial assets and recorded at fair value based on bid prices. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement and not reversed.

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

No matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2009 that have significantly affected, or may significantly affect:

  • (a) the company's operations in future financial years, or
  • (b) the results of those operations in future financial years, or
  • (c) the company's state of affairs in future financial years.

Likely Developments and Expected Results from Operations

Further exploration for large mineral deposits is planned with the main focus on the Dajarra, Nicholson, Victor and Inca project areas. Where exploration indicates significant potential for deposits drilling will be completed.

Results from exploration are difficult to predict in advance. A favourable result would be intersections of ore–grade copper, lead or zinc from drilling.

Environmental regulation

The company is not subject to any significant environmental regulation (apart from normal requirements under its mineral tenements) in respect of its operations.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial report are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.

The financial report represents the financial statements for Superior Resources Limited ("the company") as an individual entity. Superior Resources Limited is a public company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (trading under the code SPQ) incorporated and domiciled in Australia.

The financial report is presented in Australian dollars which is the company's functional and presentation currency.

(a) Basis of preparation

This general purpose financial report has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Australian Accounting Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRS

Australian Accounting Standards include Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (AIFRS). Compliance with AIFRS ensures that the financial statements and notes of Superior Resources Limited comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Historical Cost Convention

These financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value either through profit or loss or directly in equity.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with AIFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the financial statements, are discloses in Note 3.

(b) Segment reporting

A business segment is identified for a group of assets and operations engaged in providing products or services that are subject to risks and returns that are different to those of other business segments. A geographical segment is identified when products or services are provided within a particular economic environment subject to risks and returns that are different from those of segments operating in other economic environments.

Superior Resources Limited

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Revenue recognition

Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable when it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the company and the revenue can be reliably measured. The following specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:

Interest – Interest revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

All revenue is stated net of the amount of goods and services tax (GST).

(d) Income Tax

The income tax expense for the year is the tax payable on the current year's taxable income based upon the applicable income tax rate adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities.

A balance sheet approach is adopted under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. No deferred tax assets or liability is recognised in relation to temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of an asset or a liability if they arose in a transaction, other than a business combination, that at the time of the transaction did not affect either accounting profit or taxable profit or loss.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for temporary differences and unused tax losses only if it is probable that future taxable amounts will be available to utilise those temporary differences and losses.

Current and deferred tax balances attributable to amounts recognised directly in equity are also recognised directly in equity.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents

For cash flow statement presentation purposes, cash and cash equivalents includes cash on hand and deposits held at call with financial institutions, other short-term, highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and bank overdrafts.

(f) Investments and other financial assets

Available for sale

Available-for-sale financial assets, comprising principally marketable equity securities, are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of the investment within 12 months of the balance sheet date.

When securities classified as available-for-sale are sold, the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in equity are included in the income statement as gains and losses from investment securities.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) Investments and other financial assets (continued)

Subsequent measurement

Available-for-sale financial assets are subsequently carried at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of the monetary and non-monetary securities classified as available-for-sale are recognised in equity.

Fair value

The fair values of quoted investments are based on current bid prices.

Impairment

The company assesses at each balance date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of equity securities classified as available-for-sale, a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of a security below its cost is considered as an indicator that the securities are impaired. If any such evidence exists for available-for-sale financial assets, the cumulative loss – measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss – is removed from equity and recognised in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in the income statement on equity instruments classified as available-for-sale are not reversed through the income statement.

(g) Fair value estimation

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets (such as publicly traded derivatives, and trading and available-for-sale securities) is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price.

(h) Plant and equipment

Plant and equipment is stated at historical cost less depreciation. Historical cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items.

Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost, net of their residual values, over their estimated useful lives, as follows:

  • Equipment / Software 3 – 5 years

The assets residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date.

An asset's carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset's carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with carrying amount. These are included in the income statement. When revalued assets are sold, it is company policy to transfer the amounts included in other reserves in respect of those assets to retained earnings.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(i) Trade and other payables

These amounts represent liabilities for goods and services provided to the company prior to the end of the financial year which are unpaid. The amounts are unsecured and are usually paid within 30 days of recognition.

(j) Exploration expenditure

Expenditure is accumulated separately for each area of interest until such time as the area is abandoned or sold. The realisation of the value of the expenditure carried forward depends on any commercial results that may be obtained through successful development and exploitation of the area of interest or alternatively by its sale. If an area of interest is abandoned or is considered to be of no further commercial interest the accumulated exploration costs relating to the area are written off against income in the year of abandonment. Some exploration expenditure may also be written off where areas of interest are partly relinquished. In cases where uncertainty exists as to the value, provisions for possible diminution in value are established.

(k) Contributed equity

Ordinary shares are classified as equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(l) Dividends

Provision is made for the amount of any dividend declared, being appropriately authorised and no longer at the discretion of the entity, on or before the end of the financial year but not distributed at balance date.

(m) Earnings per share

(i) Basic earnings per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to equity holders of the company, excluding any costs of servicing equity other than ordinary shares, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the financial year, adjusted for bonus elements in ordinary shares issued during the year.

(ii) Diluted earnings per share

Diluted earnings per share adjusts the figures used in the determination of basic earnings per share to take into account the after income tax effect of interest and other financing costs associated with dilutive potential ordinary shares and the weighted average number of shares assumed to have been issued for no consideration in relation to dilutive potential ordinary shares.

(n) Goods and Services Tax (GST)

Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of associated GST, unless the GST incurred is not recoverable from the taxation authority. In this case it is recognized as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part of the expense.

Receivables and payables are stated inclusive of the amount of GST receivable or payable. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included with other receivables or payables in the balance sheet.

Cash flows are presented on a gross basis. The GST components of cash flows arising from investing or financing activities which are recoverable from, or payable to the taxation authority, are presented as operating cash flow.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(o) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2009 reporting periods. The entity's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

(i) AASB 8 Operating Segments and AASB 2007-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 8

AASB 8 and AASB 2007-3 are effective for annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. AASB 8 will result in a significant change in the approach to segment reporting, as it requires adoption of a management approach to reporting on financial performance. Information being reported will be based on what the key decision makers use internally for evaluating segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources to operating segments. The company has not yet decided when to adopted AASB 8. Application of AASB 8 may result in different segments, segment results and different types of information being reported in the segment note of the financial report. However, at this stage, it is not expected to affect any of the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

(ii) Revised AASB 123 Borrowing Costs and AASB 2007-6 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 123 [AASB 1, AASB 101, AASB 107, AASB 111, AASB 116 & AASB 138 and Interpretations 1 & 12]

The revised AASB 123 is applicable to annual reporting periods commencing on or after 1 January 2009. It has removed the option to expense all borrowing costs and – when adopted – will require the capitalization of all borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. There will be no impact on the financial report of the company.

(iii) Revised AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements and AASB 2007-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 101

A revised AASB 101 was issued in September 2007 and is applicable for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009. It requires the presentation of a statement of comprehensive income and makes changes to the statement of changes in equity, but will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. If an entity has made a prior period adjustment or has reclassified items in the financial statements, it will need to disclose a third balance sheet (statement of financial position), this one being as at the beginning of the comparative period. The company intends to apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009.

(iv) AASB 2008-1 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standard - Share-based Payments: Vesting Conditions and Cancellations (effective 1 January 2009)

AASB 2008-1 clarifies that vesting conditions are service conditions and performance conditions only and that other features of a sharebased payment are not vesting conditions. It also specifies that all cancellations, whether by the entity or by other parties, should receive the same accounting treatment. The company will apply the revised standard from 1 July 2009, but it is not expected to affect the accounting for the company's share-based payments.

(v) AASB 2009-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards - Improving Disclosures about Financial Instruments (effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2009)

In April 2009, the AASB published amendments to AASB 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosure to improve the information that entities report about their liquidity risk and the fair value of their financial instruments. The amendments require fair value measurement disclosures to be classified into a new three-level hierarchy and additional disclosures for items whose fair value is determined by valuation techniques rather than observable market values. The AASB also clarified and enhanced the existing requirements for the disclosure of liquidity risk of derivatives. The company will apply the amendments from 1 July 2009. They will not affect any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements.

2. Financial risk management

The company's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks; market risk, liquidity risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

(a) Market risk

(i) Price risk

The company is exposed to equity securities price risk. This arises from investments held by the company in Deep Yellow Limited and classified on the balance sheet as available-for-sale. The company is not exposed to commodity price risk.

The table below summaries the impact of increases/decreases in the Deep Yellow Limited share price on the company's post-tax profit for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the share price had increased/decreased by 25% (2008 – 25%) with all other variables held constant.

Impact on post-tax profit Impact on equity
2009$ 2008$ 2009$ 2008$
+25% -25% +25% -25% +25% -25% +25% -25%
Investment in DeepYellow Limited - - 437,500 (437,500) 416,500 (416,500) 437,500 (437,500)

(ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

As the company has no significant interest-bearing assets or borrowings, the company's income and operating cash flows are not materially exposed to changes in market interest rates.

At 30 June 2009, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the year would have been $40,844 lower/higher (2008 – change of 100 bps: $53,214 higher/lower), as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

(b) Liquidity risk

The company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows.

3. Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Estimates and judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have a financial impact on the entity and that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Critical judgements in applying the entity's accounting policies

The company has capitalised exploration expenditure of $2,873,532 (2008 : $1,751,499). This amount includes costs directly associated with exploration. These costs are capitalised as an intangible asset until assessment and/or drilling of the tenement is complete and the results have been evaluated. These costs include employee remuneration, materials, rig costs, delay rentals and payments to contractors. The expenditure is carried forward until such a time as the area moves into the development phase, is abandoned or sold. Given exploration activities have not yet reached a stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence or otherwise of recoverable resources and the difficulty in forecasting cash flows to assess the fair value of exploration expenditure there is uncertainty as to the carrying value of exploration expenditure. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interest in the tenements. The Directors are of the opinion that the exploration expenditure is recoverable for the amount stated in the financial report.

4. Segment information

The company operates solely within one business segment, being the base metals exploration industry in Australia.

L J Litzow Chairman

Brisbane, 24 September 2009

Independent Auditor's Report to the members of Superior Resources Limited

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Superior Resources Limited ("the company"). The financial report comprises the balance sheet as at 30 June 2009, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended on that date, a summary of significant accounting policies, other explanatory notes and the Directors' declaration.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report and the AASB 124 Remuneration Disclosures contained in the Directors' Report

The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Act 2001. This responsibility includes establishing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101 Presentation of Financial Statements, that compliance with the Australian equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards ensures that the financial report, comprising the financial statements and notes, complies with International Financial Reporting Standards.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial report based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. These Auditing Standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial report is free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial report. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement in the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial report in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by the Directors, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial report.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SUPERIOR RESOURCES LIMITED (continued)

Independence

In conducting our audit, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Auditor's opinion

In our opinion,

  • (a) the financial report of Superior Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:
    • (i) giving a true and fair view of the company's financial position as at 30 June 2009 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and
    • (ii) complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including the Australian Accounting Interpretations) and the Corporations Regulations 2001; and
  • (b) the financial report also complies with International Financial Reporting Standards as disclosed in Note 1.

Inherent Uncertainty regarding capitalised Exploration Expenditure

Without qualification to the audit opinion expressed above, attention is drawn to the following matter:

As a result of the matter described in Note 3 to the financial statements, there is uncertainty as to whether the company will be able to recover the carrying value of exploration expenditure for the amount recorded in the financial report. The ultimate recovery of the carrying value of exploration expenditure, and future exploration expenditure, is dependent upon the successful development and commercial exploitation or, alternatively, sale of the interests in the tenements.

Report on the Remuneration Report

We have audited the Remuneration Report included on pages 19 to 21 of the Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2009. The Directors of the company are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Remuneration Report in accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Remuneration Report, based on our audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards.

Auditor's opinion

In our opinion the Remuneration Report of Superior Resources Limited for the year ended 30 June 2009 complies with section 300A of the Corporations Act 2001.
