NON-RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS OFFER

The Board of Admiralty Resources NL ( Company ) is pleased to announce that the Company is undertaking a one (1) for three (3) pro-rata non-renounceable rights offer to raise up to a maximum of $6,397,177 (before expenses) ( Rights Offer ).

Details of the Offer

All Shareholders registered as at 7.00 pm (Sydney time) on Friday 19 June 2015 ( Record Date ) and who have a registered address in Australia or New Zealand will be entitled ( Eligible Shareholder ), under the Rights Offer, to subscribe for one (1) fully-paid ordinary share in the Company ( New Share ) for every three (3) fully-paid ordinary shares that they hold in the Company as at the Record Date.

Eligible Shareholders will also have the opportunity to apply for additional New Shares in excess of their full entitlement, to the extent that entitlements under the Rights Offer are not taken up in full ( Shortfall Offer ).

The price payable on application for each New Share is $0.02, which represents a 10% discount to the closing price of Shares on the ASX on Thursday 11 June 2015, being the last day prior to the date of this announcement, of $0.022 per Share.

It is intended that New Shares issued will be quoted on ASX and will rank equally with existing issued ordinary shares of the Company. New Shares are expected to start trading on a deferred settlement basis on Wednesday 22 July 2015.

Purpose of Rights Offer

The net proceeds raised from the Rights Offer (after expenses) will be used to enable the Company to accelerate its existing exploration in the Harper South and Pampa Tololo districts in Chile and advance the Soberana project towards early production, with a view to encouraging the letter of intent between the Company and State owned China Nuclear Industry 22nd Construction Co. LTD to progress into a more formal relationship.
