Karnalyte Resources Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2015 Results and Provides Update to Shareholders

/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS WIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES./

CALGARY, Nov. 13, 2015 /CNW/ - Karnalyte Resources Inc. ("Karnalyte" or the "Company") (TSX: KRN) today announced the filing of its financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. Robin Phinney, Karnalyte's founder and President, provides an update to shareholders:

Dear Shareholders,

I am pleased to announce that during the third quarter of 2015 we have made significant progress on the Company's two key areas of focus: 1) securing financing to construct Phase 1 of Karnalyte's 625,000 tpy Potash production facility at Wynyard, Saskatchewan (the "Financing"), and 2) completing the first phase of the previously announced development program to optimize production from the underground caverns which will assist us in developing the full-scale production facility (the "Optimization Program").

Management remains actively engaged in negotiating the terms of the Financing which could be transformative for the Company. Karnalyte's strategic partner and AA+ rated company, Gujarat State Fertilizer Company ("GSFC"), is assisting Karnalyte in securing financing to complete Phase 1 of the Company's 625,000 tpy Potash production facility ("Phase 1"). Such project Financing may be available on significantly more attractive terms than offered by North American banks, specifically allowing the Company to secure substantial upfront debt without having to immediately raise equity, the flexibility to raise any required equity at a later date in the form of a subordinated shareholder loan, and a commitment by GSFC or its affiliates to backstop any required equity if needed.

In connection with the Financing, Karnalyte has appointed Mr. Julius Brinkman as the Company's Vice President of Capital Markets, with the mandate to secure full financing for the construction of Phase 1. Mr. Brinkman was instrumental in raising capital in each of the Company's prior rounds of financing and is a welcome addition to Karnalyte's management team.

Our engineering and construction teams have achieved all of the key milestones for the first phase of the Optimization Program on time and within budget. The Company has engaged ERCOSPLAN Ingenieurgesellschaft Geotechnik und Bergbau mbH to supervise the design and operation of the Program, the results of which are expected to improve project economics and further the progress of the detailed solution mine design. The design and construction of the mechanical equipment for the Phase 1 Cavern Preparation system is now complete. Design work on the cavern production equipment for Phase 2 is on schedule for completion during the winter of 2015/2016. Water injection for cavern preparation and development is currently scheduled to commence in the spring of 2016, with cavern production projected to follow immediately thereafter. Completion of the Optimization Program is expected sometime in the fall of 2016.

I invite all shareholders to visit the Company's website at www.karnalyte.com to view an updated photo gallery displaying some of the work done at the site to date, and Karnalyte's updated investor presentation.

Robin Phinney
President
