Pitchblack Implements Share Consolidation

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 2, 2015) - Pitchblack Resources Ltd. (NEX:PIT.H) ("Pitchblack" or the "Company") has consolidated its common shares on the basis of one new common share for every ten common shares outstanding effective as of November 2, 2015.

Previous to the share consolidation Pitchblack had 46,240,614 common shares outstanding and, following the share consolidation on a ten for one basis, now has approximately 4,624,061 common shares outstanding. The change in the number of issued and outstanding common shares that has resulted from the share consolidation will not materially affect any shareholder's percentage ownership in Pitchblack, although such ownership would be represented by a smaller number of common shares.

A letter of transmittal has been sent by mail to shareholders advising that the share consolidation has taken effect and instructing shareholders to surrender the certificates evidencing their common shares for replacement certificates representing the number of common shares to which they are entitled as a result of the consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate will be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of common shares to which the holder thereof is entitled as a result of the consolidation.

The share consolidation was approved by the shareholders of Pitchblack at the annual general and special meeting held on October 1, 2015. Further details regarding the share consolidation are contained in the Company's information circular dated August 28, 2015, which has been filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
