The Company

Southern Cross Exploration N L was incorporated in 1970 and listed on the Sydney Stock Exchange in that year. It is a public company quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Southern Cross had two categories of shares - fully paid (ASX code SXX), and partly paid (ASX code SXXCA)
on which two cents remained unpaid.

In March 2010, a call of two cents on 60,000,000 partly paid shares was payable. The Company will have 116,000,000 shares on issue when all shares will become fully paid.

The Company has about 900 shareholders and is about 98% Australian-owned. Exploration for oil and gas, gold and other metals and minerals has been its principal activity over many years. The Company also invested in property, loans, shares and other securities. In recent years, the Company has sought to obtain overseas exploration projects with early development potential.

Corporate Aims and Objectives

The principal aims and objectives of the Company have been to explore and to develop oil and gas, gold and other metal and mineral projects in which the Company holds varying levels of interest.

The Company has achieved some of these objectives during the year through its operations in the uranium sector in Australia and overseas and by examining a number of exploration projects in various parts of the world.

Southern Cross continues to seek opportunities to participate in exploration for metals and minerals, either in Australia or overseas, where the potential for commercial discoveries appears favourable. Although the Company is involved in the inherently risky exploration industry, caution is being exercised to ensure that Shareholders' Funds are adequately safeguarded.

Directors recognise their obligation to ensure that any activity has the potential to enhance the value of the Company's investments. Investment in natural resource projects will continue to be the primary objective. Any other investments which may provide sound rewards with an acceptable risk will be given due consideration, consistent with the principal objectives of the Company.
