Anooraq Resources Corporation (�Anooraq� or the �Company�) (TSXV: ARQ; NYSE Amex: ANO; JSE: ARQ) is pleased to announce that the resolutions proposed at the annual and extraordinary general meeting held today, Thursday, June 24 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.
