BE Resources Effects Share Consolidation

TORONTO, Jan. 16, 2020 - BE Resources Inc. (TSXV: BER.H) (“BE Resources” or the “Company”) announces a consolidation of its issued and outstanding share capital on the basis of one (1) post-consolidation share for each five (5) pre-consolidation common shares (the “Consolidation”). Any fraction of a share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number. The shares will begin trading on a consolidated basis and with a new CUSIP number on January 21, 2020.

As a result of the Consolidation, the outstanding shares of the Company will be reduced to approximately 4,475,627.

Management of the Company believes that the proposed share consolidation will position the Company to gain greater exposure to investors that are not willing to trade equity stocks below a certain threshold and as a result, increase the liquidity of the Company.

The Company will not be changing its name and trading symbol in connection with the Consolidation.

Trading on a Consolidated Basis: January 21, 2020

New CUSIP: 073313 306
