VANCOUVER, Feb. 2, 2015 /CNW/ - Callinan Royalties Corp. ("Callinan," the 'Company') (TSXV: CAA) today reports a series of actions pursuant to succession planning and Board renewal. Brian Irwin, currently Callinan's Chair and an independent director of Callinan since 2005, has retired effective today and will be replaced as Chair by Jay Sujir, who was elected to the Board in December 2014. In addition, Anna Stylianides, a former independent director of Callinan, has joined the Board effective today.

Anna was an independent director of Callinan from December 2008 to December 2013 and is currently Co-Chair & CEO of Eco-Oro Minerals Corp. With a corporate law background and 20 years of global capital markets experience, she has fulfilled multiple investment banking and corporate restructuring mandates for Canadian and US private and public companies.

I wish my colleagues and fellow shareholders the best in the coming years."
