EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared to assist Shareholders in consideration of Resolutions
proposed for the Annual General Meeting of the Company to be held at The Science Exchange, 55 Exchange
Place, Adelaide, South Australia on Monday 30 November 2015 commencing at 11 am (Adelaide time ACDT).
It should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Resolution 1 – Adoption of the Remuneration Report for the year ended
30 June 2015
In accordance with Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, Shareholders are required to vote on the Company’s
Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2015.
The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report in the 2015 Annual Report, which will be
available to view online at the Company’s website www.adelaideresources.com.au and despatched to those
Shareholders who have elected to receive a hard copy of the report.
The Remuneration Report describes the underlying policies and structure of the remuneration arrangements of
the Company and sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for Directors and senior executives for the
year ended 30 June 2015.
The Corporations Act requires that a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report be put to the vote at the
annual general meeting of the Company. Members should note that the vote on Resolution 1 is not binding on
the Company or the Directors.
Since 1 July 2011, if more than 25% of the votes cast on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report are
against the adoption of the Remuneration Report for two consecutive Annual General Meetings, Shareholders
will be required to vote at the second of those Annual General Meetings on a resolution (“Spill Resolution”) that
another meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors must go up for re-election.
At the 2014 AGM, the Company’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2014 did not receive a ‘no’ vote
of 25% or more.
The Directors recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1. The Chair intends to vote undirected
proxies in favour of Resolution 1.
Important information for Shareholders:
Please note, in accordance with sections 250R(4) and (5) of the Corporations Act, the Chair will not vote any
undirected proxies in relation to Resolution 1 unless the Shareholder expressly authorizes the Chair to vote in
accordance with the Chair’s stated voting intentions. Please note that if the Chair of the Meeting is your proxy (or
becomes your proxy by default), by completing the attached proxy form, you will expressly authorise the Chair to
exercise your proxy on Resolution 1 even though it is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a
member of Key Management Personnel for the Company, which includes the Chair. You should be aware that the
Chair of the Meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.
Alternatively, if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, you can direct the Chair to vote for or against or abstain from
voting on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the proxy form.
As a further alternative, Shareholders can nominate as their proxy for the purposes of Resolution 1, a proxy who is
not a member of the Company’s Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties. That person
would be permitted to vote undirected proxies (subject to the Listing Rules).
Directors’ Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1, noting that each
Director has a material personal interest in his own remuneration from the Company.

The Directors (excluding Mr Buckley) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
Resolution 5 – Approval to refresh capacity to issue new shares under
ASX Listing Rule 7.4
The Company seeks approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.4 to the issue and allotment on 27 October
2015 of 14,051,667 Shares to professional and sophisticated investors, being the shortfall arising under an
Underwriting Agreement with Patersons Securities to the Company’s Share Purchase Plan announced on
24 September 2015 (SPP Shares) and an associated Top-Up Placement.
Generally, under Listing Rule 7.1, a company may, in any 12 month period, issue without the prior approval
of shareholders, new securities of up to 15% of the number of shares on issue 12 months before the date of
the issue of the new securities.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue by a company of securities made without shareholder approval under
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval if the issue did not breach Listing Rule 7.1
when it was made and the Company’s Shareholders subsequently approve it.
The issue of the Shares to professional and sophisticated investors under the Underwriting Agreement and Top-Up
Placement did not breach Listing Rule 7.1 and has not previously been approved by Shareholders. The Company
now seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of the Shares pursuant to Listing Rule 7.4. The SPP Shares and TopUp Placement would have when issued, amounted to approximately 4.61% of the Company’s ordinary Shares.
The effect of passing Resolution 5 will be to refresh the Company’s 15% capacity under Listing Rule 7.1 so that
its capacity would be the same as if the Shares had not been issued. This Resolution, if passed, will increase the
Company’s financial flexibility in the future.
Page 9
N OT I C E O F 2015 A N N U A L G E N E R A L M E E T I N G
If Resolution 5 is not passed by Shareholders, the Company would, when calculating the number of securities it
can issue without Shareholder approval to go beyond the 15% limit, need to deduct the number of Shares issued
to professional and sophisticated investors under the Underwriting Agreement and Top-Up Placement from
which any further issues could be made.
ASX Listing Rule 7.5 requires the following information to be provided to Shareholders for the purposes of
obtaining Shareholder approval pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4:
(a) the number of SPP and Top-Up Placement Shares issued: 14,051,667 fully paid ordinary Shares were issued;
(b) the price at which the Shares were issued: the SPP and Top-Up placement Shares were issued at $0.02 per Share;
(c) the terms of the Shares: the SPP and Top-Up Placement Shares were issued on the same terms as, and rank
equally in all respects with the Company’s existing issue
