This purpose of this Explanatory Statement is to provide information which the Directors believe to be material to Shareholders in deciding whether or not to pass the Resolutions in the Notice of Meeting.

1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REPORTS

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Annual General Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2011 together with the declaration of the directors, the directors’ report, the remuneration report and the auditor’s report.

The Company will not provide a hard copy of the Company’s annual financial report to Shareholders unless specifically requested to do so. The Company’s annual financial report is available on its website at adavaleresources.com.au.

2. RESOLUTION 1 – ADOPTION OF REMUNERATION REPORT

2.1 General

The Corporations Act requires that at a listed company’s annual general meeting, a resolution that the remuneration report be adopted must be put to the shareholders. However, such a resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Under recent changes to the Corporations Act which came into effect on 1 July 2011, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the Resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2012 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of a general meeting to consider the appointment of directors of the Company ( Spill Resolution ).

If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must convene the general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2012 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2012 Directors' report was approved, other than the managing director of the Company, will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting but may stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved will be the Directors of the Company.

The remuneration report sets out the Company’s remuneration arrangements for the Directors and senior management of the Company. The remuneration report is part of the Directors’ report contained in the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ending 30 June 2011.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the remuneration report at the Annual General Meeting.

6

2.2 Voting Restriction for Key Management Personnel

A vote on Resolution 1 must not be cast (in any capacity) by or on behalf of any of the following persons:

  • (a) a member of the Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report; or

  • (b) a Closely Related Party of such a member.

However, a person described above may vote on this Resolution if:

  • (a) the person does so as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the Resolution; and

  • (b) the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described in sub-paragraphs (a) or (b) above.

2.3 Voting Restrictions where Proxy is Key Management Personnel

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint a member of Key Management Personnel or any Closely Related Party as your proxy to vote on this Resolution 1, you must direct the proxy how they are to vote. Where you do not direct the member of Key Management Personnel or Closely Related Party on how to vote on this Resolution 1, the proxy is prevented by the Corporations Act from exercising your vote and your vote will not be counted in relation to this Resolution 1.

3. RESOLUTION 2 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR – HARYONO EDDYARTO

Clause 13.4 of the Constitution allows the Directors to appoint at any time a person to be a Director as an addition to the existing Directors, but only where the total number of Directors does not at any time exceed the maximum number specified by the Constitution.

Any Director so appointed holds office only until the next following annual general meeting and is then eligible for re-election.

Haryono Eddyarto will retire in accordance with clause 13.4 of the Constitution and being eligible seeks re-election.

4. RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4 – RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS – RICHARD POOLE AND MARK STEVENSON

Clause 13.2 of the Constitution requires that at the Company's annual general meeting in every year, one-third of the Directors for the time being, or, if their number is not a multiple of 3, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt), shall retire from office, provided always that no Director (except a Managing Director) shall hold office for a period in excess of 3 years, or until the third annual general meeting following his or her appointment, whichever is the longer, without submitting himself or herself for re-election.

The Directors to retire at an annual general meeting are those who have been longest in office since their last election, but, as between persons who became Directors on the same day, those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree among themselves) be determined by drawing lots.

7

A Director who retires by rotation under clause 13.2 of the Constitution is eligible for re-election.

The Company currently has five Directors and accordingly two must retire.

Mr Richard Poole and Mr Mark Stevenson, the Directors longest in office since their last election, retire by rotation and seek re-election.

Resolution 6 seeks Shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for the issue of those Management Options ( Management Option Ratification ).

A summary of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 7.4 is set out in Section 5.1 above.
