EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

The following notes have been prepared to assist shareholders with their consideration of the resolutions set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

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 2020 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 2020 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 2020 annual general meeting. All of the Directors who were in office when the Company's 2020 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 2020.

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 5

Resolution 2 – Re-election of director – Ms Qing Zhong

Resolution 2 deals with the re-election as a director Ms Qing Zhong.

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, Ms Zhong retires at the end of the 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Company and, being eligible and having consented to act, presents herself for re-election.

Mrs Zhong holds a Bachelor of Arts and is a Director of Sino Investment & Holdings Pty Ltd who is a cornerstone investor in Admiralty Resources NL. She is also a Director of a number of unlisted Australian companies that have significant investments in the property market and the mining industry.

The directors (in the absence of Ms Zhong) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Ms Zhong as a director of the Company.

Resolution 3 – Approval of Loan Facility – Shanghai Long Sheng Technology Development Co. Limited

Resolution 3 seeks Shareholder ratification of a Loan Facility Agreement (“ the Agreement ”) as announced to shareholders throughout the year with Admiralty Resources Limited and Shanghai Long Sheng Technology Development Co. Limited.

Under the terms of the financing agreement a principal facility sum of up to $1,500,000 was extended to the Company to fund working capital.

Key terms of the facility are:

Interest rate of 5%
Default interest rate of 5%
Repayment date of 1 October 2021, unless extended or otherwise agreed

Whilst the Directors’ believe that the agreement is at arm’s length terms as per s210 of the Corporations Act 2001, approval is sought for the purposes of s229 and 208, all applicable ASX Listing Rules and all other purposes that the Company executed with Shanghai Long Sheng Technology Development Co. Limited on 25 September 2020.

Under s229(3) of the Corporations Act 2001 this proposal could potentially constitute giving a “financial benefit” (s229(2)(c)) as it would constitute the taking up or releasing of an obligation (s229(3)(f)) being Admiralty Resources NL as the borrower under the agreement.

It is noted that this this is the third loan agreement entered into with Shanghai Long Sheng Technology Development Co. Limited. The first two agreements were approved by shareholders at the 2018 and 2019 Annual General Meetings, respectively.

It follows that if this third loan agreement was fully drawn, that the Company would be indebted to Shanghai Long Sheng Technology Development Co. Limited for a total sum of $4,500,000, on the following terms:

Interest rate of 5%
Default interest rate of 5%
Repayment date of 1 October 2021, unless extended or otherwise agreed

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of ratification of the loan facility agreement dated 25 September 2020.
