ASX RELEASE 11 June 2014

Superior granted EPM18203 "Hedleys South" covering the Hedleys Uranium Prospect

Key Points:

  • The grant of EPM18203 provides SPQ with tenure to access:
    • o the Nicholson Project (Walford South and Nicholson West prospects)
    • o Hedleys Uranium prospect.
  • Drill ready target – discrete high order radiometric anomaly over 1km strike at Hedleys Uranium.

Superior Resources Limited (ASX Code: SPQ) (Superior) is pleased to announce that it has received advice from the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines that Exploration Permit for Minerals (EPM) 18203 "Hedleys South" has been granted. EPM18203 covers the Hedleys Uranium Prospect. EPM18203, together with adjacent EPM15670 "Hedleys 2" which comprise the Nicholson Project, also covers areas within the Hedleys Graben that have potential for base metal mineralisation of the Mount Isa style (Figure 1).

The Hedleys Uranium Prospect is a strong airborne uranium radiometric anomaly associated with small groundwater springs along the Nicholson River Fault (Figure 2). The radiometric anomaly apparently results from daughter products derived from Radon222 gas which in turn is a decay product of Uranium238. The Radon gas appears to have been separated from its source uranium and to have been transported to the surface by methane and carbon dioxide which are escaping up the Nicholson River Fault and bubbling from the source area of the groundwater springs. The site of the uranium source is uncertain but it may be on an unconformity between sandstones of the South Nicholson Group and the underlying carbonaceous Doomadgee Formation. A considerable proportion of the world's uranium is mined from deposits on or close to similar unconformities.

Alternative sources for the source uranium exist including widely dispersed uranium in lithological sources such as granitic or volcanic rocks. However the strength of the airborne anomaly and its localised nature are encouraging for a more discrete uranium source.

Drill core through carbonaceous units of the Doomadgee Formation and Mt Les Siltstone at Walford South showed bubbling of methane and carbon dioxide when brought to the surface during drilling and they are therefore the most likely source of the methane and carbon dioxide bubbling from the springs at the Hedleys Uranium Prospect.

ASX Release – 11 June 2014 - Page 1 of 3

Based on drilling at Walford South located some 9km to the north of the Hedleys Uranium Prospect, the depth of the prospective unconformity is estimated at approximately 150m below surface and this makes it possible to complete preliminary testing of the unconformity using RC drilling.

Further details of the Hedleys Uranium Prospect were lodged with ASX in a Presentation to Mining 2009 on 27 October 2009 following application for the exploration permit in 2009. This presentation is also available on Superior's web site (see below).
