RESULTS OF ANNUAL AND EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING AND APPROVAL OF NAME CHANGE
Anooraq is pleased to announce that the resolutions proposed at the annual and
extraordinary general meeting held yesterday, Friday, 25 June 2010, including
the resolution relating to the alteration of the Articles of Anooraq to change
the name of the Company from Anooraq Resources Corporation to Atlatsa Resources
Corporation (the "name change"), were approved by the requisite majorities of
shareholder votes.
The board of directors of the Company determined that it would be desirable for
the Company to change its name to reflect the South African focus of the Company
following the acquisition of the Bokoni Mine. Atlatsa is a Sotho word meaning
"to make prosperous". The name change is expected to take effect following the
requisite regulatory filings by the Company and such effective date will be
announced by the Company at the relevant time.
