TORONTOJune 17, 2020 /CNW/ - Karora Resources Inc. (TSX: KRR) ("Karora" or the "Corporation"), previously named RNC Minerals Corporation, is pleased to announce that effective today, Wednesday, June 17, 2020, the Corporation's common shares and warrants will commence trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") under its new name and trading symbols - "KRR" and "KRR.WT", respectively.

As described in Karora's management information circular dated May 8, 2020 available through its SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com, the Corporation believes that the new name more accurately reflects its business focus on growing gold production in Western Australia – the Fraser Institutes top ranked mining jurisdiction for investment worldwide in 2019. On June 15, 2020, the Corporation filed Articles of Amendment to change its name from "Royal Nickel Corporation" to "Karora Resources Inc." (the "Name Change"). The shareholders of the Corporation overwhelmingly approved the Name Change at the Corporation's annual and special meeting of shareholders held on June 11, 2020. The Name Change is effective as of June 15, 2020.

Cautionary Statement Regarding the Higginsville Mining Operations

A production decision at the Higginsville gold operations was made by previous operators of the mine, prior to the completion of the acquisition of the Higginsville gold operations by Karora and Karora made a decision to continue production subsequent to the acquisition. This decision by Karora to continue production and, to the knowledge of Karora, the prior production decision were not based on a feasibility study of mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and, as a result, there may be an increased uncertainty of achieving any particular level of recovery of minerals or the cost of such recovery, which include increased risks associated with developing a commercially mineable deposit. Historically, such projects have a much higher risk of economic and technical failure. There is no guarantee that anticipated production costs will be achieved. Failure to achieve the anticipated production costs would have a material adverse impact on the Corporation's cash flow and future profitability. Readers are cautioned that there is increased uncertainty and higher risk of economic and technical failure associated with such production decisions.
