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.
