Chairman’s Review 2012

During the 2011 / 2012 financial year, Superior Resources Limited (“Superior”) concentrated most of its efforts on exploring for Palaeozoic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper, gold, zinc and silver mineralisation at its One Mile Mining Lease in northeast Queensland. This has come at the expense of exploration for large Mount Isa style base metal deposits in northwest Queensland where activity has continued but at a reduced rate.

Exploration at One Mile has been successful in that it has shown the massive sulphide body extends at depth well to the south of previous drill holes. More importantly, drill hole intersection widths and grades continue to improve and the gold to copper ratio in the mineralisation is quite high indicating that any ore bodies likely to be found here might be considered as gold deposits with base metal credits rather than the other way around. In addition, recent work has identified numerous additional prospects in the surrounding area which is currently under application by Superior. Field work on these prospects cannot begin until the exploration permit is granted. Nevertheless, exploration of the One Mile Mining Lease is continuing.

Superior still holds a number of exploration permits in the Mount Isa region of northwest Queensland. These permits hold good potential for the discovery of large Mount Isa copper-leadzinc style deposits and the company proposes to continue exploration for this style of deposit as the available funding allows.

Superior has also entered into a joint venture agreement, which is subject to preconditions, over the Tick Hill Gold Project in northwest Queensland. Previous mining of the Tick Hill gold deposit extracted high-grade ore (22.6 g/t Au) for a total production of513,000 ounces of gold. Once the preconditions are met, Superior's proposed exploration target is for offsets or extensions of the Tick Hill ore body based on the interpretation that the original ore body is truncated at depth by a fault. Exploration of Tick Hill is consistent with Superior's aim of the discovery of significant mineral deposits.

During the year commodity prices have eased and this has been reflected in the general decrease in share prices of resource stocks. In turn, this has meant that capital raising to fund exploration has become more challenging. Recently Superior completed a capital raising through a share purchase plan to provide funding for exploration although additional capital will be needed to complete its planned exploration programs.

A paring back of activity within the resources sector presents new opportunities. Another benefit is the increased availability of staffing and equipment making it easier to conduct field exploration. Superior, while remaining alert to the possibility for new opportunities, will maintain its focus on the current planned exploration programs.

Many of the changes that have occurred during the year are reflected in a more sombre mood but many positives still remain. The encouraging results gained from exploration during this past year provide the opportunity to look forward to the results from the exploration planned in the coming year.

COMPANY BACKGROUND

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

Superior holds a number of exploration permits, exploration permit applications and a granted mining lease (One Mile) in northest Queensland for base metal exploration. Superior also has a farm-in agreement, for gold, on three mining leases at Tick Hill in northwest Queensland.

Superior's principal activity during the 2011-2012 year has been exploration for copper, gold, zinc and silver at the One Mile Mining Lease in northeast Queensland. Additional exploration has also been undertaken for major base metal deposits of the Mount Isa style in Proterozoic rocks in northwest Queensland.

CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY

Superior's objective is to increase shareholder value through the discovery of significant mineral deposits. Superior intends to do this by a strong focus on exploration for particular deposit styles in area with high potential for these deposits.

Superior's has selected three principal target types to achieve its objectives. These are volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold-zinc-silver deposits, Mount Isa copper and lead-zinc-silver deposits and Tick Hill gold deposits. All deposit styles are consistent with Superior's aim of discovery of significant mineral deposits.

Operations Report

INTRODUCTION

During the 2011 – 2012 year Superior had some success at its One Mile Project in northeast Queensland with improving widths and grades in drill intersections on the massive sulphide body. These results give greater confidence that an economic discovery may be made in the area. However, more exploration will be required for this to be achieved.

The 2011 – 2012 year has seen the easing of commodity prices and an associated decrease in the prices of resource shares. Capital raising for exploration has become more difficult. Superior has recently raised some capital for exploration through a share purchase plan but additional capital will be needed to complete currently planned programs. The alternative is to scale back activities until

conditions improve. The value of Superior's investment in Deep Yellow Limited has also been impacted by the fall in share prices and is worth considerably less than reported last year.

On a positive note, most commodity prices are still high in historical terms and the pressure on staffing and equipment has eased making it easier to access exploration services. Additional opportunities may also result from the downturn.

Superior's aim is to increase shareholder value through the discovery of significant mineral deposits. Superior proposes to do this by a strong focus on exploration for particular deposit styles in areas with high potential for these deposits. Superior has maintained this approach during the year.

Since early 2011 most of Superior's efforts have been focussed on exploration for Palaeozoic volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold deposits at the One Mile Project in northeast Queensland. This has come at the expense of exploration for large Mount Isa style base metal deposits in northwest Queensland where activity has been continued but at a reduced rate.

The exploration at One Mile has been partly successful in that it has shown the massive sulphide body to extend well to the south of the outcropping gossan, drill hole intersection widths and grades continue to improve, the gold to copper ratio in the mineralisation is favourable and the work has identified a number of additional interesting prospects in the surrounding area. The focus on exploration of the One Mile area therefore continues.

Superior still holds a number of exploration permits in northwest Queensland with potential for discovery of large Mount Isa style deposits and Superior proposes to continue exploration for this deposit style as the available funding allows.

Superior has also entered into a joint venture agreement, which is subject to preconditions, over the Tick Hill Gold Project in northwest Queensland. Previous mining of the Tick Hill gold deposit extracted an orebody of limited size but of very high gold grade. Proposed exploration is for a similar deposit style when the preconditions are met. Exploration of Tick Hill is consistent with Superior's aim of discovery of significant mineral deposits.

Superior's current tenement situation in northwest and northeast Queensland is shown in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

Superior Resources Limited

Palaeozoic Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide Copper-Gold-Zinc-Silver Deposits

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).

Superior purchased the One Mile Mining Lease (ML6750) in the Greenvale area of northeast Queensland some 210km westnorthwest of Townsville early in 2011. The mining lease covers two gossan horizons that were drilled by MIM Exploration in the early 1990s and were shown to be reflecting massive pyrite at depth. The mineralisation is of the VMS type.

In mid 2012 Superior also acquired the exploration rights to the area surrounding the One Mile Mining Lease from Copper Strike Limited (CSE). Superior and CSE had both applied for the area as an

exploration permit and CSE's application had been given priority. Superior issued 1 million ordinary shares to CSE in exchange for CSE abandoning its exploration permit application (EPMA) thereby allowing EPMA18987, “Cockie Creek”, held by Superior, to proceed to grant. Acquisition of the exploration rights provides Superior with additional potential for discovery in the area surrounding One Mile.

Superior's exploration program at One Mile during the 2011 – 2012 year has included both drilling targeting the massive sulphide body beneath the gossans and ferruginous lode outcrops within the mining lease as well as compilation and interpretation work of historical data on the area surrounding the mining lease to determine targets for exploration once EPMA18987 is granted. At this stage it appears unlikely that EPMA18987 will be granted until early 2013.

Superior's exploration within the One Mile Mining Lease included two drilling programs. Hole locations and other details from both programs are included in Table 1 and hole collar locations are plotted on a magnetic image in Figure 3.

The drilling programs completed at One Mile indicate that the width and grade of the sulphide mineralisation at One Mile increases at depth to the south. This is shown by hole SPOM023 which was drilled on cross-section 1850N (local grid) (Figure 4) at the southern end of the drilled area. This hole intersected a wide pyritic alteration zone of 123.7m with an average grade of 12.24% sulphur (equivalent to a calculated 22.9% pyrite content) including a zone of massive and semi-massive sulphides containing narrow zones of copper, gold, zinc and silver mineralisation (Photographs 1 and 2). The equivalent copper grade for these intervals is calculated at about 1.5% using

Compilation and interpretation of historical data in the area surrounding the One Mile Mining Lease is progressing well. To date this work has identified a number of prospective areas for further work when EPMA18987 is granted.

These prospective areas include the Cockie Creek Porphyry Copper Prospect located about 5km northeast of One Mile as well as a number of geophysical anomalies in the area immediately surrounding the One Mile Mining Lease.

The Cockie Creek porphyry copper prospect has previously been explored by MIM Exploration and Beacon Minerals with a total of 62 drill holes completed. The better intersections from this work, based on a cutoff of 0.2% Cu, are shown in Table 2. These intersections extend over a strike length in excess of 500m.

The wide intersections of copper mineralisation at Cockie Creek and the presence of adjacent soil copper geochemical anomalies which have not been drilled indicate potential for further discovery of copper in this area.

Compilation and interpretation of historical geophysical data has identified a number of prospective targets in the area surrounding the One Mile Mining Lease (Figure 6). These include coincident Induced Polarisation (IP) (Figure 7) and Versatile Time-Domain Electromagnetics (VTEM) (Figure 8) anomalies at the Atkinson target zone which lies along the western side of the mining lease and relatively close to the One Mile sulphide body.

Among the other prospective targets is the North target zone where a prominent gossan outcrop (Photograph 3) is associated with a weak conductivity anomaly interpreted from VTEM data. The gossan is similar in appearance to the gossan on the One Mile Mining Lease and it is likely to be reflecting massive sulphides at depth.

None of the identified target zones have previously been drilled and they further enhance the potential of the One Mile area for the discovery of a significant volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit.

Figure 8: One Mile Mining Lease - Modelled VTEM conductivity sections showing the conductivity anomaly associated with the Atkinson target zone. The apparent flat-lying attitude of the Atkinson anomaly is not real but a limitation of the interpretation method used. It is likely that the conductive body that causes the anomaly is steeply dipping and located near the centre of the anomaly and close to the western boundary of the One Mile Mining Lease. The flat-lying near surface conductive bodies shown in red are conductive surface clay layers due to weathering.

Proterozoic Mount Isa Style Copper and LeadZinc-Silver Deposits

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.

Exploration on these areas in previous years has identified a number of prospect areas some of which have been drilled and some which remain to be drilled. The amount of drilling in future will be determined by Superior's ability to raise capital or make other arrangements for funding exploration.

Kingfisher Copper Prospect

At the Victor Project (EPM16028) northwest of Mount Isa, exploration at the Kingfisher Copper Prospect has located considerable outcropping copper mineralisation (Photograph 4) and a number of deeper drilling targets have been defined by a gravity survey (Figure 9). The prospect is within the high-preservation part of the Gregory 'Wild Rivers' area although it is many kilometres from the nearest river. Attempts to gain access to the area continued during the year but without success. The prospects for access in future appear to have improved following a change of government in early 2012 but progress is slow.

Harris Creek Prospect

The Harris Creek Exploration Permit (EPM18840), located to the south of the Kingfisher Copper Prospect, was granted during the year. The principal target within this area is a late channel airborne electromagnetic (AEM) anomaly (Figure 10) identified in a survey flown by a previous explorer.

The conductive source of the AEM anomaly is interpreted to be within Proterozoic sediments below about 200m of Cambrian cover sediments. The AEM anomaly lies partly within the Gregory 'Wild Rivers' high-preservation area. No field work has therefore been completed on the area and the future work program will depend on whether the Gregory 'Wild Rivers' area is varied to allow exploration to be completed.

Nicholson West Prospect

The Nicholson West Prospect lies within the Nicholson Project (EPM15670) approximately 350km north of Mount Isa. The prospect covers a VTEM anomaly (Figure 11) sourced from within the highlyprospective Mount Les Siltstone which lies within the Hedleys Graben.

The prospect was prepared for drilling in the second half of 2011 but the drilling was not completed because of access problems related to the heavy 2011 wet season, and the difficulties of securing a suitable rig for the drilling at that time.

Computer modelling of the VTEM data at Nicholson West (Figure 12) indicates the presence of a flat-lying to shallow-dipping conductive horizon as the source of the VTEM anomaly. This horizon which is at a depth of approximately 300m is at the interpreted position of the Mount Les Siltstone and below the Doomadgee Formation sediments which outcrop across the prospect area.

The current proposal for the Nicholson West area is to drill one vertical hole initially to establish the prospectivity of the area before additional drilling is completed.

The Mount Les Siltstone is host to Mount Isa style mineralisation at the Walford Creek Prospect located some 30km to the northeast of Nicholson West and low-grade copper, lead and zinc mineralisation occurs elsewhere along the outcrop of this unit.

Elizabeth Prospect

The Elizabeth Prospect is located in EPM15040 in the Dajarra Project area 150km south of Mount Isa.

The Elizabeth Prospect was first delineated as a series of high-order anomalies (Figure 13) in a VTEM survey completed during early stage work in the area. Subsequent drilling by Superior has shown that the VTEM anomalies result from steeply-dipping conductive sediments belonging to the graphitic Breakaway Shale unit of the Mount Isa Group and other graphitic units higher in the sequence.

.

Interpretation of the lithologies intersected in the drilling indicates that the Native Bee Siltstone and the Urquhart Shale units are also present at the Elizabeth Prospect. The Urquhart Shale unit is the host to the large copper and lead-zinc-silver orebodies at Mount Isa. This makes the Elizabeth Prospect of considerable interest.

The drilling has also intersected low-grade copper, lead and zinc values within some of the fine grained dolomitic sediments at Elizabeth.

Proterozoic Tick Hill Style Gold Deposits

Early in the 2011 – 2012 year Superior announced reaching agreement with Diatreme Resources Limited to farm into three granted mining leases at the Tick Hill Gold Project 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 5). The agreement is conditional on a number of tenement administrative issues being resolved.

Superior's target at Tick Hill is a high-grade gold resource similar to that previously mined by Carpentaria Gold Pty Ltd.

Superior's work to date has focussed on a fault near the bottom of the previously mined area (Figure 14) which is interpreted to truncate and offset the gold mineralisation. This fault raises the prospect that the extension of the gold mineralisation may exist at depth in an offset position from the previously mined area. Superior proposes to drill to try to locate the offset gold shoot when the pre-conditions to the agreement are satisfied.

Superior Resources Limited

Directors’ Report

Your Directors present their report on Superior Resources Limited (“Superior”, “the company”) for the year ended 30 June 2012.

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 P H Hwang

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 $1,561,984 after income tax expense of $63,000 (2011: loss of $1,108,119).

Up until early 2011, Superior's exploration largely focussed on exploration for large Mount Isa style deposits in northwest Queensland. Since early 2011 most of Superior's effort has been directed at exploration for volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold deposits at the One Mile Project in northeast Queensland. The principal reasons for this change in focus were that:

  • ! the One Mile Project offered the prospect of discovery of a significant economic deposit in a shorter time frame;

  • ! the intersection of massive sulphides in previous historic drilling indicated good potential for discovery;

  • ! the area was held under a granted mining lease which potentially reduced the time to get any discovery into production; and

  • ! VMS deposits, being multi-commodity deposit often with high grades, are attractive exploration targets.

The work completed at One Mile had some success with improving widths and grades in drill intersections on the massive sulphide body and the delineation of a number of interesting targets in the surrounding area. Both these results give greater confidence that an economic discovery may be made at One Mile with continuing exploration.

The strong focus on the One Mile Project reduced the exploration effort for large Mount Isa style base metal deposits in northwest Queensland. Exploration, however, continued with most of the activity being directed to work on identified prospects within the larger project areas. No drilling was completed.

21

Annual Report 2012

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:

2012
$
(a) Significant gains and expenses:
Expenses:
Exploration written off 768,020
Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets 490,000
(b) Other comprehensive items:
Fair value adjustment on revaluation of available-for-sale financial assets 147,000

Matters subsequent to the end of the financial year

Subsequent to the end of the financial year the company issued 3,700,000 ordinary shares at $0.06 each raising $222,000 under a Share Purchase Plan.

A further 1,000,000 ordinary shares have been issued in accordance with an agreement with Copper Strike Limited in relation to the acquisition of exploration rights.

No other matter or circumstance has arisen since 30 June 2012 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

Continuing exploration is proposed for the One Mile Project while results are favourable. Exploration for Mount Isa style deposits in northwest Queensland is also proposed but the amount will be dependent on the available funding and ready access to the prospect areas. The commencement of the proposed exploration at the Tick Hill Project is dependent on satisfaction of the preconditions attaching to the agreement on this project.

Results from exploration are difficult to predict in advance so expected results are uncertain.

Environmental regulation

The company's operations are subject to significant environmental regulation under Australian laws of the commonwealth and state.

Fees and payments to non-executive directors reflect the demands which are made on, and the responsibilities of, the directors. Non-executive directors' fees and payments are reviewed annually by the Board.

Directors' fees

Non-executive directors' fees are determined within an aggregate directors' fee pool limit, which is periodically recommended for approval by shareholders. The maximum currently stands at $250,000 in aggregate plus statutory superannuation.

Executive pay

The combination of base pay and superannuation make up the executive director's total remuneration. Base pay for the executive director is reviewed annually to ensure the executive's pay is competitive with the market. The board ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

  • ! competitiveness and reasonableness

  • ! acceptability to shareholders

  • ! transparency

  • ! capital management

Details of remuneration

The following tables show details of the remuneration received by the directors and the key management personnel of the company for the current and previous financial year.

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.

35

Annual Report 2012

36

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.

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:

37

Annual Report 2012

38

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT (continued)

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 Activities, 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 Activities, Quarterly Cashflow, Annual and Half-Yearly Reports to the market,

  • 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).

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 2012

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Superior Resources Limited is a company limited by shares, incorporated and domiciled in Australia. Superior Resources Limited's shares are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.

The financial statements were authorized for issue by the directors on 14 September 2012. The directors have the power to amend and reissue the financial statements.

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

The principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. The financial statements are for Superior Resources Limited, as required by the Corporations Act 2001.

(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 and the Corporations Act 2001. Superior Resources Limited is a for-profit entity for the purposes of preparing the financial statements.

Compliance with IFRSs

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

Historical cost convention

The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of available-for-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 revenue is recognised using the effective interest rate method.

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

51

Annual Report 2012

52

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

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 realized 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 utilize 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 assets 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 or directly in equity. In this case, the tax is also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

(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.

Superior Resources Limited

53

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

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 asset's 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.

Annual Report 2012

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

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 (loss) 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.

Superior Resources Limited

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(n) New accounting standards and interpretations

Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for 30 June 2012 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, the standard will have no affect on the company's accounting for its available-for-sale financial assets as the changes only affect the accounting for equity investments that are held for trading.

There will be no impact on the company's accounting for financial liabilities, as the new requirements only affect the accounting for financial liabilities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss and the company does not have any such liabilities. The derecognition rules have been transferred from AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and have not been changed. The company has not yet decided when to adopt AASB 9.

(ii) AASB 13 Fair Value Measurement and AASB 2011-8 Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from AASB 13 (effective 1 January 2013)

AASB 13 was released in September 2011. It explains how to measure fair value and aims to enhance fair value disclosures. The company has yet to determine which, if any, of its current measurement techniques will have to change as a result of the new guidance. It is therefore not possible to state the impact, if any, of the new rules on any of the amounts recognised in the financial statements. However, applicable of the new standard will impact the type of information disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. The company does not intend to adopt the new standard before its operative date, which means that it would be first applied in the annual reporting period ending 30 June 2014.

There are no other standards that are no yet effective and that are expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

55

Annual Report 2012

56

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2012

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

(o) Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards

The following new standards and amendments to standards are mandatory for the first time for the financial year beginning 1 July 2011:

Standards affecting presentation and disclosure

Amendments to AASB 7 'Financial Instruments: Disclosure'

The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 'Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project') clarify the required level of disclosures about credit risk and collateral held and provide relief from disclosures previously required regarding renegotiated loans.

Amendments to AASB 101 'Presentation of Financial Statements'

The amendments (part of AASB 2010-4 'Further Amendments to Australian Accounting Standards arising from the Annual Improvements Project) clarify that an entity may choose to present the required analysis of items of other comprehensive income either in the statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.

AASB 1054 'Australian Additional Disclosures' and AASB 2011-1 'Amendments Australian Accounting Standards arising from Trans-Tasman Convergence Project'

AASB 1054 sets out the Australian-specific disclosures for entities that have adopted Australian Accounting Standards. This Standard contains disclosure requirements that are in addition to IFRSs in areas such as compliance with Australian Accounting Standards, the nature of financial statements (general purpose or special purpose), audit fees, imputation (franking) credits and the reconciliation of net operating cash flow to profit (loss).

AASB 2011-4 makes amendments to a range of Australian Accounting Standards and Interpretations for the purpose of closer alignment to IFRSs and harmonization between Australian and New Zealand Standards. The Standard deletes various Australian-specific guidance and disclosures from other Standards (Australian-specific disclosures retained are now contained in AASB 1054), and aligns the wording used to that adopted in IFRS.

The application of AASB 1054 and AASB 2011-1 in the current year has resulted in the simplification of disclosures in regards to audit fees, franking credits and capital and other expenditure commitments as well as an additional disclosure on whether the company is a for-profit or not-for-profit entity.

AASB 124 'Related Party Disclosures' (revised December 2009)

AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has been revised on the following two aspects: (a) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) has changed the definition of a related party and (b) AASB 124 (revised December 2009) introduces a partial exemption from the disclosure requirements for government-related entities.

The company is not a government-related entity. The application of the revised definition of related party set out in AASB 124 (revised December 2009) in the current year has resulted in the consideration of related parties that were not identified as related parties under the previous Standard. Specifically, associates of the ultimate holding company's are treated as related parties of the company under the revised Standard whilst such entities were not treated as related parties under the previous Standard. No additional disclosures have been required on the application of the revised standard. The company does not have an ultimate holding company.

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.

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:

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 $613,784 (2011: $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.

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 directly 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% (2011 – 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 2012, if interest rates had changed by -/+ 100 basis points from the year-end rates with all other variables held constant, post-tax loss for the year would have been $6,310 higher/lower (2011 – change of 100 bps: $21,589 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 statement of financial position 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 $3,817,229 (2011 : $3,327,597). 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. Going Concern

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis which contemplates the continuity of normal business activities and the realisation of assets and discharge of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.

The Directors acknowledge that to continue the exploration and development of the company's exploration projects, the budgeted cash flows from operating and investing activities for the future will necessitate further capital raisings. In the event that the company is unable to raise future funding requirements there exists a material uncertainty that may cast doubt on the company's ability to continue as a going concern with the result that the company may be required to realise its assets at amounts different from those currently recognised, settle liabilities other than in the ordinary course of business and make provisions for costs which may arise as a result of cessation or curtailment of normal business operations.

5. Segment information

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

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

Report on the Financial Report

We have audited the accompanying financial report of Superior Resources Limited (the company), which comprises the statement of financial position as at 30 June 2012, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration.

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 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 (IFRS).

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 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 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.

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:

  • i. giving a true and fair view of the Company's financial position as at 30 June 2012 and of its performance for the year ended on that date; and

  • ii. complying with Australian Accounting Standards (including 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.

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

Inherent Uncertainty regarding capitalised Exploration Expenditure

Without qualification to the 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 interest in the tenements.

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.
