GREENVALE PROJECT EXPLORATION UPDATE

EXCITING DRILL TARGETS IDENTIFIED AT GALAH DAM ZINC-GOLD-COPPER PROSPECT

  • Galah Dam prospect is a large alteration system containing zinc, gold and copper mineralisation.
  • Four previously untested high order IP chargeability anomalies identified by 3D modelling of IP data.
  • Drilling of IP anomalies to commence after land access procedures met.

Superior Resources Limited (ASX Code: SPQ) (Superior or Company) is pleased to provide an update on the exploration activities that are planned at its Galah Dam prospect, which is located within the Company's 100%-owned Greenvale Project (Figure 1).

Highly prospective VMS target

Immediately following the recent grant of the new "Cockie South" exploration permit (EPM26165; refer ASX Announcement "Quarterly Activities Report" dated 31 December 2016), Superior completed an extensive digital compilation and review of historic data over the "Old Galah Dam Prospect". This exercise included digital compilation of drill hole data and digital modelling of geophysical induced polarization (IP) and resistivity survey data.

The result of this review has revealed the following:

  • Galah Dam is a large alteration zone similar to the alteration zone at the Balcooma and Surveyor volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposits located 20km away;
  • previous drilling at the Old Galah Dam Prospect confirmed the presence of zinc, gold and copper mineralisation within the alteration system;
  • Superior's 3D IP modelling identified four high order chargeability anomalies that have not previously been drill-tested; and
  • Galah Dam is very prospective for the presence of VMS zinc, gold and copper deposits.

Managing Director, Mr Peter Hwang said,

"We are very pleased with the work completed so far on the Galah Dam prospect, which has shaped up to be a substantially more significant exploration project than was originally appreciated. Previous explorers focused their attention on the known zinc, gold and copper mineralisation at a part of the prospect that we have termed the "Old Galah Dam Prospect". However, the "Old Galah Dam Prospect" does not have the significantly higher order chargeability and conductivity responses at depth as the four anomalies identified by our modelling.

The Galah Dam prospect has greatly enhanced the significance of the Company's overall Greenvale Project. We are especially pleased as the new Cockie South EPM also includes the Steam Engine Gold Deposit, which we will also be progressing during 2017.

With the current strong support that we are receiving from the investor markets together with the

quality of the Company's zinc, gold and copper targets, we strongly feel that 2017 is shaping up to be an exciting year for the Company."

Next steps at Galah Dam

The Company is accelerating the land access and Aboriginal cultural heritage notification processes with landholders and native title parties, which it hopes to complete prior to the commencement of this year's field season in late March to early April.

An initial 600m RC drilling program is planned to be conducted once full access is obtained and drill hole collars have been established in the field.

Galah Dam Prospect

Background

The Galah Dam Zinc-Gold-Copper Prospect lies about 25km northwest of Greenvale in north Queensland (Figure 1). The deposit lies some 10km northeast of Superior's One Mile Project.

Zinc-gold-copper mineralisation was discovered during shallow drilling at Galah Dam by Homestake Australia Limited in 1991. Subsequent drilling by Homestake and others has extended the mineralisation to depth (the "Old Galah Dam Prospect"). The area has been tightly held by various explorers until it was recently relinquished making the area available for application by Superior.

Alteration Zones

Superior has undertaken a program of digital compilation and interpretation of previous exploration data over the Old Galah Dam Prospect and surrounding area. This data compilation work has been done from digital scans of hard-copy reports held at the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines and of data from other sources. This work is continuing.

The Galah Dam zinc-gold-copper mineralisation lies within an extensive alteration zone (Snake Creek alteration zone) which is similar to the alteration zone associated with the Balcooma VMS deposits located 20km northwest of Galah Dam (Figure 2). The Balcooma area is not held by Superior. Both alteration zones are folded into anticlinal features. Because of upper greenschist metamorphism, both alteration zones are now essentially quartz-muscovite schists with variable amounts of disseminated pyrite. The Snake Creek alteration zone also contains kyanite and sillimanite reflecting its aluminous nature and metamorphic grade. Both alteration zones form topographic highs.

Figure 2. Aster satellite imagery of the folded Balcooma alteration zone (left) and the folded Snake Creek alteration zone (right) (The alteration zones are dark brown in the images and are outlined by a black line). At Balcooma, the Balcooma Deposit is located on the eastern limb of the folded alteration zone and the Surveyor Deposit is located on the fold axis or 'nose' of the fold. The known Galah Dam mineralisation is located on the 'nose' of the fold in the Snake Creek alteration zone in a similar position to the Surveyor Deposit at Balcooma. At Galah Dam, the drilling to date has been largely restricted to the Old Galah Dam Prospect on the fold 'nose' leaving the remainder of the Snake Creek alteration zone essentially untested by drilling. The Balcooma area is not held by Superior Resources Limited.

Previous drill hole results

Compilation of the drill hole results at the Old Galah Dam Prospect indicates sub-economic intersections of zinc, gold and copper (Table 1). Despite being sub-economic, the drill hole intersections indicate that the Galah Dam area is a very prospective environment for VMS deposits. Lead values are low which is in accordance with the host rocks being primitive mantle derived rocks.

3D IP modelling

Superior has also undertaken 3D modelling of historic IP survey data over the Galah Dam Prospect and surrounding area. This work was completed by Geophysical and Resource Services Pty Ltd using the UBC 3D software. The modelling produced 3D block models for both chargeability and conductivity. This report outlines the results of the 3D modelling work and draws attention to high-order chargeability anomalies within the alteration zone to the north of the Old Galah Dam Prospect which have not been drilled.

Chargeability is a measure related to the amount of charge that the ground can hold. This can provide an estimate of the amount of chargeable minerals, including sulphides and particularly disseminated sulphides, in the ground. Conductivity provides a measure of the conductance of the ground to electrical current which can provide an estimate of the amount of conductive minerals, including massive and semi-massive sulphides, in the ground. The principal zinc mineral that exists at Galah Dam is sphalerite (ZnS). Sphalerite is generally considered only a

weakly chargeable and weakly conducting mineral. Using chargeability and conductivity modelling to locate new areas of zinc-gold mineralisation at Galah Dam relies on being able to detect chargeability and conductivity anomalies from associated sulphides, such as pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite, which could be expected to occur associated with sphalerite mineralisation. We note that minerals other than sulphides can cause chargeability and conductivity anomalies in IP survey data.

The 3D modelling work has been completed using a local grid (IPGrid) which has a local grid north of 45º MGA. Local grid north is approximately parallel to the axis of the fold in the alteration zone. In the discussion that follows, all directions are relative to local grid north unless otherwise noted.

The chargeability model shows a broad low-level chargeability anomaly associated with the alteration zone to the north of the Old Galah Dam Prospect. This might be expected given that the alteration zone contains disseminated pyrite. However, within this broad low-level anomaly, high-order chargeability anomalies have been outlined in three areas within the alteration zone. These high-order anomalies lie below a topographic high which reflects the resistance of the strong alteration in this area to weathering and erosion. A fourth anomaly lies outside of the alteration zone and to the west of the other anomalies (Figure 3). None of these anomalies have previously been drilled.

The conductivity model shows some areas of surface conductivity associated with conductive overburden, particularly on the eastern side of the Galah Dam area. This is to be expected in areas with thick clayey soil and alluvial cover. However, the conductivity model also shows moderate-order bedrock anomalies within the alteration zone indicating the possibility of sufficient interconnected sulphides in these areas to produce a conductive response.

Four cross-sections and one long-section through the models are shown in Figures 4 to 8 to indicate the positions and intensity of the newly modelled anomalies and their relationship to the fold in the alteration zone and to the known mineralisation at the Old Galah Dam Prospect.

Cross-Section 96050N (Figure 4) shows the results from the modelling in the area of previous drilling at the Old Galah Dam Prospect. This section is included so that the nature of the chargeability and conductivity anomalies associated with the known drilled mineralisation is apparent. A low-level chargeability anomaly is associated with the known mineralisation. The mineralisation does not show a conductivity anomaly at depth probably indicating the absence of interconnected sulphide mineralisation in this area (shallow conductivity anomalies on this section are interpreted to reflect conductive overburden as previously mentioned).

Anomaly 1

Cross-Section 96750N (Figure 5) is a section through the highest-order chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 1) from the modelling. It lies 700m north of Cross-Section 96050N. This high-order anomaly lies at shallow depth below the eastern limb of the fold in the alteration zone. A 'tail' to this anomaly extends easterly and upwards to the surface close to the eastern boundary of the alteration zone. Scattered gossan float occurs in this area. There is only low-level direct support for this anomaly from the conductivity modelling. However, a conductivity anomaly occurs at depth and further to the north on the eastern limb of the fold. Drilling of Anomaly 1 is planned, subject to field inspection.

Anomaly 2

Cross-Section 96950N (Figure 6) is through the most prospective chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 2). It lies to the northwest of Anomaly 1. This is a high-order chargeability anomaly which occurs within the fold axis. There is good support for this anomaly from the conductivity modelling which is broadly coincident with the chargeability anomaly. Because of the support from the conductivity modelling and its location within the fold axis, this is the highest ranked chargeability anomaly from the modelling work (this anomaly is also shown in a west-looking long-

section along the fold axis in Figure 8). Anomaly 2 is considered to be the highest priority target and Superior will be drilled once access is obtained.

Anomaly 3

Cross-Section 97070N (Figure 7) is through a chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 3) to the northwest of Anomaly 2 and located within the alteration zone below the western limb of the fold. This anomaly which dips to the east and connects with Anomaly 2 has no support from the conductivity model although a conductivity anomaly occurs further to the north under the western limb of the fold. Drilling of Anomaly 3 is planned, subject to field inspection.

Anomaly 4

A further chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 4) occurs to the west of anomalies 1, 2 and 3 and west of the alteration zone. A field inspection is needed to further assess this anomaly.

Additional diagrams

Fold-Axis Long-Section (Figure 8) is drawn along the fold axis looking westerly. It shows the zinc mineralisation from the historical drilling at the Old Galah Dam Prospect and extends to the north through Anomaly 2. Fold axes are considered prime locations for massive sulphide mineralisation in VMS systems within deformed rocks since sulphides are often considered to remobilise into low pressure areas along fold axes.

Images of the Sliding Tau (late channel decay rates) derived from the VTEM survey over the Galah Dam area (Figure 9) also give support to chargeability anomalies 1 and 2 and to the area further to the north along the eastern limb of the fold with a moderate level anomaly along the eastern side of the alteration zone. In this area, no conductive overburden is present and a bedrock source is likely to be present to explain this anomaly.

The 3D modelling work has substantially raised the status of the area to the north of the old Galah Dam Prospect.

Figure 4. Galah Dam – Cross-section 96050N showing some of the historical drill hole zinc and gold intersections at the Old Galah Dam Prospect and contours of the modelled chargeability and conductivity. A weak chargeability anomaly is associated with the known mineralisation in the drill holes. The near-surface conductivity anomaly is interpreted to reflect conductive overburden rather than sulphide mineralisation.

The high-order chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 1) lies under the eastern limb of the fold in the alteration zone and under a topographic high. It is a high-priority drilling target subject to field assessment. Anomalies 2 and 4 are also apparent on this section.

The combined high-order chargeability and moderate-order conductivity anomaly (Anomaly 2) lie within the axis of the fold in the alteration zone and under a topographic high. It is a high-priority drilling target. Anomaly 4 to the west of the alteration zone is also apparent on this section.

Figure 7. Galah Dam – Cross-section 97070N through the alteration zone north of the Galah Dam Prospect showing contours of the modelled chargeability and conductivity. The moderate-order chargeability anomaly (Anomaly 3) lies within the west limb of the fold in the alteration zone and under a topographic high. It is a significant anomaly but a lower-priority drilling target than Anomalies 1 and 2.

The VTEM image suggests a conductive bedrock zone beneath the eastern limb of the fold. The other anomalous area in the lower right of the map is interpreted to relate to thick conductive overburden.

The compilation of that data in digital form has beencompleted by the competent person with plotting of the data on both plans andsections in digital form.Noadjustmentshave beenmade to historicalsample assaydata as there wasno apparent reason for such adjustments.
Location ofdata points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in MineralResource estimation.Specification of the grid system used.Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Homestake Australia controlled exploration of the Galah Dam area using a localgrid (GD_Grid). The latest IP survey work was controlled using a similar gridbut with different coordinates (IP_Grid). Data has been compiled using theappropriate local grid coordinates and grid translations have been used toconvert from one grid to another and to convert coordinates to MGAcoordinates where required. In the absence of a suitable RL datum for the area,the SRTM DTM over the area has been used for height control and plotting ofsections. As Superior progresses work in the area it is expected that a moreformal height datum will be established for the area.The area lies within UTM Zone 55, GDA94 datum.
Data spacinganddistribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degreeof geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource andOre Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Drill hole spacing is variable for the Galah Dam Prospect area but generallyprovides for the plotting of sections at 50m spacing in the area drilled.Most intersections reported in this report are composites of smaller sampleintervals as is standard practice.

Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Mineralisation at Galah Dam has generally been reported to be of thevolcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) type. However, committing to thisconclusion is premature without Superior completing it own field work andinterpretation of the results of that work. Mapping has been completed by CECand others and combination of this mapping with interpretation of satelliteimages has allowed the boundaries of the alteration zone mentioned in thereport tobe established reasonably.

Dataaggregationmethods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximumand/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-offgrades are usually Material and should be stated.Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results andlonger lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregationshould be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should beshown in detail.The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should beclearly stated. Exploration results are reported as a length weighted average of all the assaysof the wholehole intersections.No top cutting has been applied as there are a limited number of higher-gradeassays that influence the calculated intersection grades.No metal equivalent values are reported.
Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths andinterceptlengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of ExplorationResults.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known,its nature should be reported.If it isnot known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be aclear statement to this effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width not known'). At Galah Dam, no 'true widths' are reported as this depends on a long andcomprehensive process of interpreting the orientation and nature of themineralisation intersected.This will probably take quite some time tocompleteproperly. Therefore,the information is not available to accompany this briefreport that principally reports geophysical anomalies that are considered prioritydrill hole targets.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts shouldbeincluded for any significant discovery being reported These should include,but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriatesectional views. Included.
Balancedreporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should bepracticed to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. Reporting of all reverse circulation and diamond drill holes with intersectionsabove 1% zinc has been included in a table within the report.Possibly lessreliable RAB holes have not been included.
Othersubstantiveexplorationdata Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including(but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results;geochemical survey results; bulk samples –size and method of treatment;metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rockcharacteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. The competent person has considerable experience in the area and firstidentified the large alteration zone at Galah Dam (and recognized its potential)following discovery of the Balcooma deposit in the late 1970s.

Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions ordepth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including themain geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this informationis not commercially sensitive. Proposed further work includes field work on the modelled geophysicalanomalies to determine their potential for mineralisationand, where appropriate,to plan drill holes to test these anomalies. This work will be carried out onceaccess requirements to the area have been finalized and the weather allows.
