Financial Statements and Reports

In accordance with the Constitution, the business of the Meeting will include receipt and consideration of the annual financial report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2016 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 the ASX website under the announcements tab for ASX:ADY.

Resolution 1 – Directors’ Remuneration Report

1.1 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.

If at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the Annual General Meeting, and then again at the Company's 2017 annual general meeting, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary 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 extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the Company's 2017 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2017 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 2016.

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

1.2 Proxy Restrictions

Pursuant to the Corporations Act, if you elect to appoint the Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or any Closely Related Party of that member 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 Chair, or another member of Key Management Personnel whose remuneration details are included in the Remuneration Report or Closely Related Party of that member 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.

1.3 Directors’ Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.

Page 4 of 7

Resolution 2 – Re-election of director – Mr Bin Li

Resolution 2 deals with the re-election as a director of Mr Bin Li, who was appointed as a director on 22 September 2014.

Under Listing Rule 14.4, a director of the Company must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting of the Company following the director’s appointment or for a period greater than 3 years (whichever is the longer).

Under clause 5.3(c)(i) of the Company’s Constitution one third, or the number nearest to one third if not divisible by three, of the current directors must retire by rotation at each annual general meeting. Under clause 5.3(c)(ii) of the Company’s Constitution, the directors to retire at any annual general meeting must be those who have been longest in office since their last election, but as between directors who were appointed on the same day, those to retire will, unless they agree otherwise, be determined by drawing lots.

Accordingly Mr Li retires at the end of the 2016 Annual General Meeting of the Company and, being eligible and having consented to act, presents himself for re-election.

Mr Li is a senior mining engineer with over 25 years’ experience in metallurgy and a graduate of mining and metallurgy from the Jiang Xi Metallurgy University and has brought this relevant technical experience with him to the Board.

Mr LI’s appointments include being Vice-Director of the Yang Shan iron mine and Mine Director at Shuang Qi Hill where he was in charge of the establishment of the metallurgical plant and gold mine in the Fu Jian Province. Other current appointments included his Chairmanship of Wan Qi Technology Limited and Xia Men Si Mai Da Investment Limited.

The Directors (in the absence of Mr Li) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Li as a director of the Company.

Resolution 3 – Issue of Shares in Part Conversion of Convertible Loan Facility

Under the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreement the deemed issue price is $0.0093 per share being the 80% VWAP over a 90 day period prior to the date of conversion.

Subsequent to conversion Smart East Global Limited agreed to extend the total limit of the facility by a further US $1,500,000 meaning that as at the date of the notice the total facility limit is US $3,600,000.

Directors Recommendation

Resolution 5 – Approval of Revision to Convertible Loan Facility

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder ratification of the Third Deed of Amended to the Convertible Loan Facility Agreement (“ the Agreement ”), for the purposes of s229 and 208, all applicable ASX Listing Rules and all other purposes that the Company executed with Smart East Global Limited (“ SEGL ”).

The Agreement provides for SEGL to lend up to an additional US$1.5 million to the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Admiralty Resources (Hong Kong) Limited (“ ADYHK” ). Admiralty Resources NL as guarantor under the Agreement grants SEGL an option to convert the loan sums (together with any accrued interest) into ordinary shares in the Company. The aggregated amount of the revised facility is US$3.6 million, with $US2.1 million been fully drawn down prior to the additional US $1.5 million facility amount.

Under s229(3) of the Corporations Act 2001 this proposal would constitute giving a “financial benefit” (s229(2)(c)) to a related party as it would constitute the taking up or releasing of an obligation of the related party (s229(3)(f)) which is in this case ADYHK.

The Company notes that it is likely that s210 and s214 of the Corporations Act 2001 would exempt the need for member approval of the guarantee to ADYHK however prudently seeks member approval of the Agreement.

SEGL has the right to convert all or any part of the principal amount of the loans, together with any accrued interest, into ordinary shares in the Company at any time before 31 August 2018 where the loan sums and accrued interest remains outstanding. Any such conversion will be at a conversion price of 80% of the Volume Weighted Average price calculated 90 days immediately prior to the Conversion Date which will be the date of receipt of a valid Conversion Notice.

The loan under the Agreement bears an interest at a rate per annum of 12%. Interest is payable by ADYHK quarterly in arrears, with the first interest payment date of the revised facility occurring on 31 December 2016. SEGL may waive the interest on any part of the loan sums by written notice to ADYHK.

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of ratification of the Third Deed of Amendment to the Convertible Loan Facility Agreement.
