ASX RELEASE
13 May 2011
UNDILLA COOPERATION AGREEMENT
Superior Resources Limited (Superior) and Hapsburg Exploration Pty Ltd (Hapsburg) have agreed to cooperate to farmout their tenements in the Undilla area of northwest Queensland as a combined package and referred to as the Undilla Base Metal Project.
The tenements include exploration permits (EPMs) 16433 and 16436 held by Hapsburg and applications for EPMs 18840 and 19097 held by Superior. The total area of the tenements is in excess of 1200km[2] .
The cooperation agreement has a term of six months.
The project area is located 170km north-northwest of the Mount Isa copper and leadzinc-silver mines, 80km south of the Century lead-zinc-silver mine and 60km northwest of the Lady Loretta lead-zinc-silver deposit (Figure 1).
The project area encloses Cambrian sediments over the highly-prospective Proterozoic rocks which elsewhere contain a number of large lead-zinc-silver and copper deposits in the northwest Queensland area. The project area is considered to have very good potential for lead-zinc-silver deposits as indicated by a series of high-order lead soil and stream geochemical anomalies in compiled previous exploration data collected by previous explorers within the project area. Lead anomalies in streams and soils within the project area extend over an area of about 30km X 30km and the combined stream and soil anomaly compares favourably in size and intensity with the natural lead anomaly at Mount Isa (Figures 2 and 3). A number of untested airborne electromagnetic anomalies in surveys completed by previous explorers exist in the area (Figure 4). Drilling has been completed on the area by previous explorers but the amount of drilling is limited and many of the drill holes are shallow.
The two target types within the area are lead-zinc-silver deposits of the Mississippi Valley or Irish type within the Cambrian carbonate sediments and lead-zinc-silver deposits of the Mount Isa style within the Proterozoic rocks that lie below the Cambrian sediments. The Proterozoic rocks may also have potential for copper deposits.
In targeting prospective areas under cover, Superior has used the possibility of ‘leakage’ of metals (particularly lead and zinc) from mineralization in the Proterozoic rocks into the overlying cover rocks. This is suggested by anomalous lead and zinc contents within the Cambrian rocks adjacent to the Century and Grevillea lead-zinc-

silver deposits. If this concept is correct, the extensive lead anomaly at Undilla may reflect large Proterozoic lead-zinc-silver deposits beneath the Cambrian cover.
The Cambrian cover depth apparently varies from about 200m to 400m depth. Discovery of a deposit beneath this cover will require a large amount of drilling and this is beyond the capability of Superior or Hapsburg to fund and therefore a major explorer is being sought to undertake this work.
Parts of the Undilla project area lie within the high-preservation area of the Gregory Wild River’s declaration. The project area also contains areas shown as Endangered Regional Ecosystems which restrict exploration. Access for exploration is possible in other areas.
Combining Superior’s tenements and Hapsburg’s tenements into the one project provides an excellent opportunity for a major explorer to farmin to a large project with potential for large lead-zinc-silver deposits in a recognized world-class minerals province and with a number of already identified drilling targets.

The image in this map is derived from geochemical data
compiled by Terra Search Pty Ltd from historical stream
and soil geochemical surveys. The purpose of the
imaging is to provide an overall impression of the Mount Isa
mineralised areas. The process of creating the image Mount Isa
7,700,000 mNinvolves some 'smearing' of values. The colouring of the 7,700,000 mN
image is based on a linear stretch from 0 ppm (blue) to
500 ppm (magenta). Shading is used to highlight the
anomalous areas. The absence of data from the Mount
Mount Novitt
Isa Mining Lease reduces the apparent size and intensity
of the natural Mount Isa anomaly.
