Karnalyte Resources Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2015 Results and Appointment of Interim CFO

CALGARY, AB--(Marketwired - August 12, 2015) - Karnalyte Resources Inc. ("Karnalyte" or the "Company") (TSX: KRN) today announced filing of its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2015.

Robin Phinney, Karnalyte's founder and President, writes:

Dear Shareholders,

This last year has been an exciting one for Karnalyte Resources. In 2015 shareholders witnessed competing visions for the company and voted overwhelmingly in favour of a reconstituted board of directors and their vision to develop Karnalyte's Potash Project. We are pleased to announce that the Development Program is on track to optimize production from the underground caverns in preparation for the full-scale production facility.

Karnalyte's Potash Project is truly unique and ready to move forward. We have a proven solution mining method with low environmental impact, projecting low capital costs, low operating costs and a high-purity granular product. We are located in close proximity to necessary infrastructure, in a politically stable environment, with huge potential for expansion and a secondary product line that could significantly reduce potash operating expenses.

Most importantly, we have a strategic partnership with Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited ("GSFC"), one of the largest fertilizer companies in India. GSFC has signed a significant offtake agreement for up to 56% of the potash production from Karnalyte's 625,000 tonne per year facility. GSFC has indicated its willingness to assist Karnalyte by arranging funding for the Project which may be available on significantly more attractive terms than offered by North American Banks. Having a strong strategic partner in GSFC gives Karnalyte a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace.

Management believes that the outlook for potash demand is positive and that Karnalyte is well positioned to capitalize on this opportunity. Both demand and prices for granular potash are increasing and we have observed recent takeover activity with the majors looking to acquire advanced greenfield projects. With over $30 million in the treasury, only 27.479 million shares outstanding, and a strong relationship with GSFC, the next year will be a defining chapter for Karnalyte.
