Reliance Resources Announces Proposed Shares Consolidation and Name Change to Resource Capital Gold Corp.

VANCOUVER, Feb. 26, 2016 /CNW/ - Reliance Resources Limited (TSXV: RI) ("Reliance" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSX-V") has approved the Company's share consolidation (the "Share Consolidation") on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation common share for every five (5) pre-consolidation common shares.

Effective as of the opening of markets on Monday, February 29, 2016, the Company will commence trading on the TSX-V on a consolidated basis. The post-consolidated common shares of the Company will be assigned a new CUSIP number of 76124L104 (ISIN CA76124L1040). Management anticipates that the Share Consolidation will benefit the Company by increasing investor interest, improving trading liquidity and improving the Company's ability to raise additional capital at a higher price per share. In connection with the Share Consolidation, the Company will be changing its name to Resource Capital Gold Corp., which is accompanied by a corresponding change in the Company's symbol to RCG. 

As at the date hereof, there are an aggregate of 122,152,099 common shares issued and outstanding. It is expected that, upon completion of the Share Consolidation, there will be an aggregate of approximately 24,430,419 common shares issued and outstanding.

Management also believes that the name change to Resource Capital Gold Corp. will better reflect the Company's new focus on vertical integration into gold project financing and gold processing together with its ongoing focus on gold production and exploration in general. The Company is targeting a number of financial transactions as well as its new advanced stage gold and silver project in Nevada.
