RESULTS OF SHAREHOLDER MEETING
Berkeley Resources Limited ("Berkeley" or "Company") is pleased to report that, at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on 31 July 2015, the Company's shareholders overwhelmingly approved resolutions to change the name of the Company to Berkeley Energy Limited and to award performance rights to the members of the executive team who will be responsible for bringing the Company's flagship Salamanca Project into production.
The integration of the important Zona 7 deposit into the project's overall development plans over the next two months is expected to bring the company to a point where it can commence the financing and development of the project. The name change reflects the proposed transition of the Company from an explorer to a producer.
Recently appointed experienced mining executive Paul Atherley will join the accomplished Spanish team lead by Francisco Bellon and Javier Colilla, along with new Corporate Manager Hugo Schumann, and lead the development of the project into production.
The Company has recently established of an office in London from where Mr Atherley and Mr Schumann will establish immediate and regular communication with investors as the Company progresses the development of the project.
