Superior Resources Limited

Chairman’s Review 2011

Base and precious metal prices have remained high during the last year and the gold price has been at record levels in response to financial problems faced by many countries around the world. As a result, the Australian resources industry has performed well and this has underpinned a healthy exploration industry in Australia but with some concerns for the future which are outlined below.

During the 2010 / 2011 financial year, exploration by Superior Resources Limited (“Superior”) continued with the principal objective of finding major base metal deposits of the Mount Isa style in northwest Queensland. However, because of high metal prices, Superior's exploration targets have been extended to include Palaeozoic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold deposits in northeast Queensland as well as Proterozoic gold deposits in northwest Queensland. Superior's management and consultants have extensive experience in exploration for, and successful discovery of, deposits of these types. Exploration for these types of deposits of course takes some attention away from the search for Mount Isa style deposits.

Whilst VMS copper-gold deposits and Proterozoic gold deposits are likely to have smaller tonnages than the larger Proterozoic base metal deposits of northwest Queensland, these deposits represent valid targets as they typically contain high metal grades. The added advantage of searching for these types of deposits is that the search is typically conducted adjacent to, or along strike from, existing mineralisation and the chance of economic discovery is higher than with the conceptual exploration conducted for the higher tonnage Mount Isa style deposits.

Regrettably, there have been some changes that have impacted on the Queensland exploration industry during the past year and Superior has had to adapt in response to those changes.

In particular, there has been an increasing level of government bureaucracy and regulation relating to exploration permits. This particularly affects exploration over the larger areas needed for conceptual exploration but also impacts on exploration elsewhere. Government charges have also increased substantially. Most shareholders would be aware of the problems Superior has had in being able to drill its Kingfisher Copper Prospect due to the Wild Rivers High-Preservation declaration over ordinary country many kilometres from any river. The Queensland government has been inflexible when approached to adopt a resolution of this issue.

In a response to the impositions of the government, Superior has in part shifted its focus from exploration permits to granted mining leases and has acquired two new projects covered by such leases (One Mile and Tick Hill). Granted mining leases provide more certainty of access and, in the longer term, the fact that these leases are already granted should circumvent the long drawn out complex process of getting mining tenure granted in Queensland should our continuing exploration be successful.

With the changes that have occurred during the year and with the additional properties that Superior has taken on board, the coming year promises to be an exciting one and shareholders should be looking forward to it as much as I am.

Annual Report 2011

Corporate Review

COMPANY BACKGROUND

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

Superior currently holds a total of eight granted exploration permits and seven exploration permit applications in northwest Queensland and two exploration permit applications in northeast Queensland. Superior also holds a granted mining lease at One Mile in northeast Queensland. Superior has recently agreed to farm into three mining leases in northwest Queensland which comprise the Tick Hill Gold Project. In total these tenements cover approximately 4,000 km of 2 prospective ground.

Superior has an active exploration program on these tenement areas with activity directed to the discovery of major base metal deposits of the Mount Isa style in Proterozoic rocks in northwest Queensland, gold deposits in Proterozoic rocks in northwest Queensland and copper-gold deposits in Palaeozoic rocks in northeast Queensland. Uranium and phosphate are secondary targets for exploration.

CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

Superior's aim is to increase shareholder value through the discovery of significant mineral deposits and it has a strategy consistent with this aim.

Superior's exploration has traditionally targetted large Mount Isa style deposits. However, with the current favourable base metal and gold prices, more moderate sized high-grade deposits of these metals are also attractive exploration targets. Superior has therefore more recently extended its exploration program to include Proterozoic gold and Palaeozoic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold deposits.

Superior has adopted a conceptual approach in its search for Mount Isa style deposits which identifies permissive environments for these deposits 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.

While a conceptual approach is also appropriate to a search for Proterozoic gold and VMS copper-gold deposits, Superior has adopted the more traditional approach in this search of exploring around existing indications of mineralisation.

Drilling is an essential part of Superior's exploration programs with drill testing of conceptual targets being part of the search for Mount Isa style deposits and drilling around and beneath existing mineralisation part of the search for gold and copper-gold deposits.

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

Figure 2: Superior Resources Limited – project and tenement locations in northeast Queensland.

During the 2010 - 2011 year Superior completed exploration in northwest and northeast Queensland for a range of target styles and commodites. The work included:

part of the Mount Isa Inlier. Some encouragement came from the intersection of silica-dolomite veining with low-grade copper values within Mount Isa Group sediments at the Elizabeth Prospect.

  • ! Exploration for copper and lead-zinc-silver of the Mount Isa style in Proterozoic rocks at a number of projects in northwest Queensland (Proterozoic Copper and Lead-Zinc-Silver),

  • ! Exploration for phosphate in Cambrian sediments at the Wills Phosphate Prospect in the southern part of the Mount Isa Inlier in northwest Queensland (Cambrian Phosphate),

  • ! Exploration for gold at the Quita Gold Project in the southwestern part of the Mount Isa Inlier in northwest Queensland (Proterozoic Gold) and

  • ! Exploration for copper-gold at the One Mile Mining Lease in the Greenvale area of northeast Queensland (Palaeozoic Copper-Gold).

Proterozoic Copper and Lead-Zinc-Silver

Superior holds a number of exploration permits and exploration permit applications in northwest Queensland to explore for large Proterozoic copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits of the Mount Isa style.

During the early part of the year a drilling program, which was commenced in the 2009 - 2010 year, continued on the Elizabeth, Cannon and Carbine prospects in the Dajarra Project in the southern

At the Victor Project northwest of Mount Isa attempts to gain access to drill the Kingfisher Copper Prospect, which is within the highpreservation area of the Gregory Wild Rivers area, were continued but without success. The prospect has considerable outcropping copper

To the south of the Victor Project at the Undilla Base Metal Project, Superior agreed to cooperate with mineral explorer Hapsburg Exploration Pty Ltd (Hapsburg), in an attempt to farm out two of its exploration permit applications with two of Hapsburg's exploration permits. The area contains a large lead soil and stream geochemical anomaly (Figure 4) in Cambrian rocks and there is potential for Mississippi Valley lead-zinc deposits as well as copper and leadzinc-silver deposits in the underlying Proterozoic rocks.

At the Nicholson Project approximately 350km north of Mount Isa preparations have been made for drilling of a VTEM anomaly at the Nicholson West prospect (Figure 5) just east of the Queensland –

Northern Territory border. A long intense wet season has delayed the drilling. Completion of this drilling will depend on the availability of a suitable drilling rig at a time when access is possible.

Annual Report 2011

Field work at the Inca Project has not resulted in any targets for base metals but the area has been retained for its phosphate potential.

The Myally Project to the northeast of Mount Isa was relinquished during the year.

Cambrian Phosphate

Superior holds two principal areas for phosphate in Cambrian sediments in northwest Queensland.

Work at the Wills Phosphate prospect in the Dajarra Project about 180km south of Mount Isa included drilling and geological mapping. Drilling was initially completed on a mesa which was capped by Cambrian phosphatic rocks. Results indicated leaching had removed most of the phosphate. Scout drilling of Cambrian sediments in a soil covered area (Wills South), however, located a thick intersection of moderate-grade phosphate (10m @ 10.3% P O from 8m). 2 5 Geological mapping in this area indicates a potential strike length of many kilometres of phosphatic horizon (Photograph 2) on the eastern side of a triangular shaped area. Further work is proposed once all three exploration permits that cover the area are granted.

Proterozoic Gold

During the 2010 - 2011 year Superior increased its emphasis on gold exploration and now has two principal gold projects.

At the Quita Gold Project gold had previously been reported by Placer and MIM who completed soil, stream and rock-chip geochemistry in the area. Up until this year, work completed by Superior to confirm the gold potential of the area had not met with much success. However, because of the favourable gold price and the fact that previous bulk cyanide leach (BCL) sampling indicated that the stream gold anomaly was considerably larger than the area in which follow-up work had been completed, Superior completed further work during the year.

Photograph 2: Wills South Phosphate – outcropping Inca Shale which occurs above the phosphatic horizon.

The work included a BCL stream sampling program (Figure 6) to confirm the earlier Placer BCL sample results and to provide an increased sample density in areas that appeared, on the basis of the earlier results, to be gold bearing. This work validated the extensive gold BCL anomaly and indicated higher gold values in some areas than obtained by previous explorers.

Previous drilling by earlier explorers at the Yelvertoft Prospect in the Inca Project northwest of Mount Isa intersected phosphate in a number of holes with the best intersection being 5.3m @ 16.5% P O 2 5 in hole Y43. Superior has not completed any drilling for phosphate at this stage as the Wills South Prospect appears to have better potential.

.

Both Cambrian and Mesozoic unconformities affect the Quita area and redistribution of gold has probably occurred in these old land surfaces. Surface gold values may therefore reflect both hard-rock gold mineralisation as well as redistributed gold from the hard-rock

sources. Superior recently completed a soil sampling program in one of the areas of better Proterozoic outcrop (Area 1 in Figure 6), with a line separation of 500m, to try to locate the bedrock source for the gold. This area incorporates a quartz vein that is known to be gold bearing with rock-chip samples to 0.5g/t Au.

Figure 6: Quita Gold Project – BCL sample results on Google Earth image.

Since the end of the 2010 – 2011 year Superior has announced reaching agreement with Diatreme Resources Limited to farm into three granted mining leases at the Tick Hill Gold Project (Photograph 3) where previous mining by Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd produced 513,333 ounces of gold from 705,000 tonnes of ore at a recovered grade of 22.6 g/t Au (Photograph 4). The agreement is conditional on a number of tenement administrative issues being resolved.

The prime purpose of Superior's exploration program will be to define a high-grade gold resource similar to that previously mined by Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd.

Additional work proposed includes assessment of other potentially gold bearing areas within the mining leases, testing of the tailings from the previous mining to determine if these contain sufficient gold to warrant reprocessing, assessment of potential alluvial resources and investigation of the grade of the old mine dumps.

One of the best locations to explore for gold is around previous gold mines particularly high-grade gold mines.

The Quita and Tick Hill gold projects are located about 90km apart and the two projects give Superior a strong gold position in the southern part of the Mount Isa Inlier.

Superior's work to date has focussed on a fault near the bottom of the previously mined gold shoot with the possibility that the gold shoot may exist at depth in an offset position from the previously mined area. Once the agreement conditions have been met Superior proposes to commence drilling for the possible offset extension of the mined gold shoot.

Palaeozoic Copper-Gold

The Cambro-Ordovician volcano-sedimentary sequences in eastern Australia have potential for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits of copper-lead-zinc-silver-gold and deposits of this type occur in the Charters Towers and Greenvale areas of northeast Queensland (eg. Thalanga, Reward and Balcooma deposits).

Early in the 2011 year Superior purchased a granted mining lease (ML6750) at One Mile in the Greenvale area of northeast Queensland some 210km west-northwest of Townsville with potential for a VMS deposit.

The mining lease covers two gossan horizons that were drilled by MIM in the early 1990s and were shown to be reflecting massive pyrite with some generally minor chalcopyrite at depth. No drilling has been done on the area since that time.

Following the purchase of the mining lease, Superior completed the necessary administrative requirements including a plan of operations and then completed a detailed magnetic survey of the mining lease area. The magnetic survey showed a prominent magnetic anomaly adjacent to the gossan horizons (Figure 6). Drilling is currently in progress on both the gossan horizons and the magnetic anomaly (Photograph 5).

Superior Resources Limited

Directors’ Report

Your Directors present their report on Superior Resources Limited (“Superior”, “the company”) for the year ended 30 June 2011.

Directors

The following persons were Directors of Superior Resources Limited during the whole of the year and up to the date of this report:

K J Harvey D J Horton

Mr Lawrie Litzow was a director from the beginning of the financial year until his resignation on 3 December 2010.

Mr Peter Hwang was appointed a director on 11 November 2010 and continues in office at the date of this report.

Principal activities

During the year the principal activity of the company was exploration for base metals and gold in Australia. There were no significant changes in the nature of the company's activities during the year and no changes are anticipated.

Dividends

There were no dividends paid to members during the financial year.

Review of operations

The loss for the year was $1,108,119 after income tax benefit of $376,040 (2010: loss of $126,962).

Superior commenced the 2010 – 2011 year in the Dajarra Project area with a drilling program on the Elizabeth, Cannon and Carbine prospects in a search for large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits. Some encouragement came from the intersection of silica-dolomite veining with low-grade copper values at Elizabeth. Efforts at Dajarra then shifted to the Wills Phosphate prospect where drilling intersected a thick moderate-grade phosphate intersection and geological mapping showed a prospective phosphatic horizon extending for many kilometres. During the latter part of the year work at the Quita Gold Project in the Dajarra Project defined a widespread gold BCL anomaly which is currently under investigation.

Work on project areas to the north of Mount Isa was limited by the extended 2010 – 2011 wet season and by the focus on other areas.

In the Greenvale area of northeast Queensland, Superior purchased the One Mile Mining Lease early in 2011 and the initial work program outlined copper-gold targets which are currently being drilled.

After the end of the 2010 – 2011 year, Superior agreed to joint venture with Diatreme Resources Limited, subject to a number of tenement administrative issues being resolved, on three granted mining leases at Tick Hill in northwest Queensland.

During the 2010-2011 year there has been a subtle shift in Superior's target commodities and in its approach to exploration. Exploration for gold has increased because of the favourable gold price and because of access to worthy gold properties. The original conceptual approach to exploration adopted by Superior, and which is essential for the discovery of large copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits, has, in part, been supplemented by a more outcrop discovery approach on the gold properties.

Annual Report 2011

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (continued)

Significant changes in the state of affairs

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

2011
$
(a) Significant gains and expenses:
Expenses:
Exploration written off (1,287,643)
(b) Other comprehensive items:
Fair value adjustment on revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets 98,000

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

Subsequent to the end of the financial year the market value of the company's investment in financial assets available-for-sale has decreased by $70,000.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2011 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

In the near term exploration will be focussed on the One Mile, Quita and Tick Hill projects since these are most likely to produce results and they are also projects where gold is an important commodity. In the longer term Superior will continue exploration for larger copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits of the Mount Isa style. If the access issue is resolved, Superior will move to drill its Kingfisher Copper Prospect as quickly as possible.

Securities Trading Policy

The purpose of this document is to:

  • provide a summary of the legislation relating to “insider trading” and

  • set out the guidelines for Directors, senior executives and employees dealing (buying or selling) in securities (shares, options, derivatives and other types of financial products) in Superior Resources Limited.

Prohibition

Directors, senior executives and employees are prohibited from engaging in insider trading in breach of the Corporations Law.

What is “insider trading”?

Insider trading is defined in Part 7.10, Division 3 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth). There are three separate types of insider trading:

  • a trading offence,

  • a procuring offence and

  • a tipping offence.

25

Annual Report 2011

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Who is an “insider”?

An insider is defined in section 1043A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) as someone who:

  • possesses information:

  • a. that is not generally available and

  • b. that a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price of shares if it were generally available and

  • knows or should know that the information:

  • a. is not generally available and

  • b. might have a material effect on the price or value of shares if it was generally available.

What is a “trading offence”?

A person commits a trading offence if they are an insider (defined above) in relation to a particular company and they apply for, buy or sell the company's securities.

What is a “procuring offence”?

An insider commits a procuring offence if they procure someone else to apply for, buy or sell the company's securities.

The Corporations Act defines “procure” more broadly than its dictionary meaning. Section 1042F of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) states that a person procures someone else to do something not only if they “incite” or “induce” them to do it, but also if they simply “encourage” them to do it.

What is a “tipping offence”?

An insider commits a tipping offence if they communicate the inside information to someone else and the insider knows, or should know, that the other person will be likely to apply for, buy or sell the company's securities or procures a third person to apply for, buy or sell the company's securities.

Which information is “material”?

Section 1042D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) provides that a reasonable person would expect information to have a material effect on the price or value of the shares if the information would be likely to influence people who commonly invest in shares deciding whether to apply for, buy or sell those shares.

When is information “generally available”?

Section 1042C of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) says information is generally available if:

  • it consists of observable matter, or

  • it has been made known (disseminated) in a manner likely to bring it to the attention of investors and a reasonable time period has elapsed.

26

Superior Resources Limited

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

What are the defences?

There are several defences to the insider trading offence including:

  • where the trading occurs as part of underwriting an issue of securities,

  • where someone buys securities such as shares because they are legally required to do so (eg. family law order) and

  • where a company trades in shares and an officer or employee has inside information provided there is a “Chinese Wall” separating the person with inside information from those conducting the trading (eg. a bank advising on a takeover where it also has a share broking department - the person providing advice on the takeover cannot provide information to the persons employed as share brokers).

What are the consequences of a breach?

A breach of the insider trading legislation is a criminal offence and there are civil penalty provisions.

Punishment. The maximum criminal penalty for an individual who is found guilty is a $200,000 fine or five years gaol or both and for a company the maximum penalty is $1,000,000.

Compensation . Someone who suffers loss or damage due to an insider trader's activities may recover from the insider trader compensation amounting to the loss suffered.

Other orders. A court has powers to make a wide range of orders including directing the disposal of securities and cancelling agreements where an insider trading offence has occurred.

Have there been many prosecutions?

A recent successful action brought by ASIC on the criminal standard of proof being beyond a reasonable doubt involved the stockbroker Rene Rivkin. The sentencing judgement which sets out the facts is R v Rivkin (2003) 198 ALR 400.

GUIDELINES FOR DIRECTORS, SENIOR EXECUTIVES AND EMPLOYEES DEALING IN SECURITIES

Directors, senior executives and employees concerned or involved with the control or management of a company are prohibited from using confidential information acquired as a result of their position from benefiting themselves or others.

Directors, senior executives and employees are not totally prohibited by law from trading in the shares of a company because they have an understanding of the affairs and prospects of the company. However, when Directors, senior executives and employees trade in shares of the company it is important to ensure that the transactions do not reflect adversely on either the Directors or the company.

As stated above the Corporations Law prohibits insider trading and tipping.

In order to assist Directors, senior executives and employees of Superior Resources Limited acting prudently in these matters, the following guideline must be followed:

27

Annual Report 2011

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

A Director, senior executive or employee of Superior Resources Limited must inform and receive acknowledgement from the Chairperson or Company Secretary of their intention prior to entering into any dealings in Superior Resources Limited's securities by either himself or herself or by his or her associates.

A Director, senior executive or employee of Superior Resources Limited must not deal in Superior Resources Limited Securities:

  • on consideration of a short term nature,

  • when they are in possession of price sensitive information not yet released to the market in which case they are prohibited by law from dealing,

  • for a period of fourteen (14) days prior to the scheduled (per ASX Listing Rules) release by Superior Resources Limited of Quarterly Operations, Quarterly Cashflow, Annual and Half-Yearly Reports and

  • any other time, notified by Superior Resources Limited from time to time, when Directors, senior executives and employees are prohibited from trading.

Directors, senior executives and employees will generally be permitted to engage in trading (subject to due notification being given to the Chairperson or Company Secretary) at the following times:

  • for a period commencing one (1) business day after the release of Quarterly Operations, Quarterly Cashflow, Annual and Half-Yearly Reports to the market,

  • for a period commencing one (1) business day after the release of price sensitive information to the market which allows a reasonable period of time for the information to be disseminated among members of the public and

  • where a proposed acquisition of securities is under:

  • a. a bonus issue made to all shareholders,

  • b. a dividend reinvestment plan or top up plan available to all shareholders or

  • c. an employee share plan.

Dealing In exceptional circumstances:

In exceptional circumstances, where it is the only reasonable course of action available, clearance may be given for a Director, senior executive or employee to sell (but not to purchase) securities when he/she would otherwise be prohibited from doing so. An example of the type of circumstance which may be considered exceptional for these purposes would be a pressing financial commitment on the part of the Director, senior executive or employee that cannot otherwise be satisfied. The determination of whether circumstances are exceptional for this purpose will be made by the Chairperson or Company Secretary.

Director's obligation on acquisition or disposal of securites or on ceasing to be a Director of Superior

Resources Limited

Directors must also be aware that pursuant Section 205G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwlth) they are obliged to provide the ASX with appropriate notifications of their interests in the company.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, a Director must notify the Company Secretary of the acquisition or disposal of any security and the Company is obliged to notify the ASX (LR 3.19A).

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

Audit Committee

The Board has established an Audit Committee which operates under a charter approved by the Board. It is the Board's responsibility to ensure that an effective internal control framework exists within the entity.

This includes internal controls to deal with both the effectiveness and efficiency of significant business processes such as the safeguarding of assets, maintenance of proper accounting records, the reliability of financial information and non-financial considerations such as the benchmarking of operational key performance indicators. The Audit Committee provides a forum for effective communication between the Board and the external auditor. The Audit Committee also provides the Board with additional assurance regarding the reliability of financial information for inclusion in the financial report.

Taking into account the specific operations of the Company, the Audit Committee meets at least twice a year. Because of the size of the Board, the current Audit Committee comprises only two members (two non-executive directors) and the chairman of the committee is not the Chairman of the Board.

The Audit Committee operates under the following charter approved by the Board:

  • The Board as a whole is responsible for the accuracy and relevance of the financial statements. However, the Audit Committee provides an additional and more specialised oversight of the financial reporting process.

  • The Audit Committee shall, if possible, comprise a majority of non-executive directors and an independent chairman who is not the Chairman of the Board. The Audit Committee shall consist of at least two members.

  • The finance director and other executive directors may be present during Audit Committee deliberations but will not be members of the committee.

  • The Audit Committee will meet at least two times a year and will meet with the external auditors at least once a year.

  • The Audit Committee reports to the Board and copies of Audit Committee minutes should be tabled at the first Board meeting at which it is practicable to do so.

The Company has one executive and two non-executive directors. The two non-executive directors are members of the Audit Committee.

Superior Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a) Basis of preparation

These general purpose financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards, other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group Interpretations and the Corporations Act 2001.

Compliance with IFRSs

The financial statements of the Superior Resources Limited also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

New and amended standards adopted by the group

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2010:

  • AASB 2009-5 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project

  • AASB 2009-8 Amendments to Austrailan Accounting Standards – Group Cash-settled Share-based Payment Transactions

  • AASB 2009-10 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards – Classification of Rights Issues

  • AASB Interpretation 19 Extinguishing Financial Liabilities with Equity Instruments and AASB 2009-13 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Interpretation 19, and

  • AASB 2010-3 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project.

The adoption of these standards did not have any impact on the current period or any prior period and is not likely to affect future periods.

Early adoption of standards

The company has elected to apply the following pronouncements to the annual reporting period beginning 1 July 2010:

· AASB 2010-4 Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project This includes applying the revised pronouncement to the comparatives in accordance with AASB 108 Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. None of the items in the financial statements had to be restated as a result of applying this standard.

Historical cost convention

These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals basis and are based on historical costs, as modified by the revaluation of availablefor-sale financial assets, financial assets and liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss, certain classes of property, plant and equipment and investment property.

Critical accounting estimates

The preparation of financial statements 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 disclosed in Note 3.

(b) 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).

41

Annual Report 2011

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(c) Income Tax

The income tax expense or revenue for the period is the tax payable on the current period's taxable income based on the applicable income tax rate for each jurisdiction adjusted by changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities attributable to temporary differences and to unused tax losses.

Deferred income tax is provided in full, using the liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the reporting date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

Deferred tax assets are recognised for deductible 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.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets and liabilities and when the deferred tax balances relate to the same taxation authority. Current tax assets and tax liabilities are offset where the entity has a legally enforceable right to offset and intends either to settle on a net basis, or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

Current and deferred tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income.

(d) Cash and cash equivalents

For the statement of cash flows 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.

(e) 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 date.

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

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 other comprehensive income.

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 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.

42

Superior Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(f) 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 date. The quoted market price used for financial assets is the current bid price.

(g) 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 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.

(h) 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.

(i) 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.

(j) 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.

(k) 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.

43

Annual Report 2011

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(l) 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.

(m) 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 recognised 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 statement of financial position.

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.

(n) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2011 reporting periods. The company's assessment of the impact of these new standards and interpretations is set out below.

  • (i) AASB 9 Financial Instruments, AASB 2009-11 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 and AASB 2010-7 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 9 (December 2010) (effective from 1 January 2013) AASB 9 Financial Instruments addresses the classification, measurement and derecognition of financial assets and financial liabilities. The standard is not applicable until 1 January 2013 but is available for early adoption. When adopted, this standard will have no impact on the Company's financial statements.

  • (ii) AASB 1053 Application of Tiers of Australian Accounting Standards and AASB 2010-2 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from Reduced Disclosure Requirements (effective from 1 July 2013)

  • On 30 June 2010 the AASB officially introduced a revised differential reporting framework in Australia. Under this framework, a two-tier differential reporting regime applies to all entities that prepare general purpose financial statements. Superior Resources Limited is listed on the ASX and is not elilgible to adopt the new Australian Accounting Standards – Reduced Disclosure Requirements. The two standards will therefore have no impact on the financial statements of the entity.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2010

2. Financial risk management

The company's overall risk management plan seeks to minimize potential adverse effects due to the unpredictability of financial markets.

The company does not actively engage in the trading of financial assets for speculative purposes nor does it write options. The most significant financial risks to which the company is exposed are credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk and cash flow interest rate risk.

The company holds the following financial instruments:

Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents
Trade and other receivables
Financial liabilities
Trade and other payables

Risk management is carried out by the Company's finance function under policies and objectives which have been approved by the Board of Directors. The Managing Director has been delegated the authority for designing and implementing processes which follow the objectives and policies.

The Board receives monthly reports which provide details of the effectiveness of the processes and policies in place.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of loss from a counter-party failing to meet its financial obligations to the Company.

The maximum exposure to credit risk, excluding the value of any collateral or other security, at balance date to recognized financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets, net of any provision for doubtful debts, as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents and deposits with banks and financial institutions. For bank and financial institutions, only independently rated parties with a minimum rating of 'A' are accepted.

Other than cash and cash equivalents, the most significant other financial assets are trade and other receivables. The Company does not have any material credit risk exposure to any single debtor or group of debtors under financial instruments entered into by the company. There were no past due debts at balance date requiring consideration of impairment provisions.

Liquidity risk

Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and marketable securities to meet obligations when due. At the end of the reporting period the company held deposits at call of $2,137,790 that are expected to readily generate cash inflows for managing liquidity risk.

The company manages liquidity risk by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows. No finance facilities were available to the group at the end of the reporting period.

2. Financial risk management (continued)

Market 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 statement of financial position as available-for-sale financial assets. 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 total comprehensive income / (loss) for the year and on equity. The analysis is based on the assumption that the share price had increased/decreased by 25% (2010 – 25%) from balance date fair value with all other variables held constant.

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 2011, 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 $21,589 lower/higher (2010 – change of 100 bps: $31,893 higher/lower), as a result of higher/lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents.

Fair value measurements

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities must be estimated for recognition and measurement or for disclosure purposes. The net fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities approximates their carrying values as disclosed in the balance sheet and notes to the financial statements.

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 $3,327,597 (2010 : $3,863,198). This amount includes costs directly associated with exploration. These costs are capitalised as an intangible asset until assessment and/or drilling of the permit 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.

4. Segment information

The company operates solely within one segment, being the mineral exploration industry in Australia.

Directors' Responsibility for the Financial Report

The Directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In Note 1, the Directors also state, in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 101: Presentation of Financial Statements, that the financial statements comply 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. Those standards require that we comply with relevant ethical requirements relating to audit engagements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial report, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the company's preparation of the financial report that gives a true and fair view 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 company'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.

Independence

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

Opinion

In our opinion:

  • a) the financial report of Superior Resources Limited is in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 , including:

Inherent Uncertainty regarding capitalised Exploration Expenditure

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 interest in the tenements.”
