TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2017) - Darnley Bay Resources Limited DBL (the "Company") announces that it will seek shareholder approval to change its name to Pine Point Mining Limited at the Company's annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on July 17, 2017.

Jamie Levy, President and CEO comments: "With the Company's main focus now bringing the Pine Point zinc project back into production, it is appropriate at this time to adopt a new name." Mr. Levy further adds that "The name change certainly does not take away from our other excellent projects, including the original Darnley Bay gravity anomaly near Paulatuk, also in the Northwest Territories."

The Company plans to change its TSX-V ticker symbols to "ZINC". The timing of the name change, ticker symbol change and corporate re-branding will be announced at a later date. Subject to the name change, the Company's web domain name will change to www.pinepointmining.com.
