Berkley Resources Completes Share Consolidation and Name Change

Berkley Resources Inc.
(CNSX:BKS)(PINKSHEETS:BRKDF)(FRANKFURT:W8O)(FRANKFURT/BERLIN: WKN 871666)
("Berkley" or the "Company") announces that, in connection with its news release
dated January 9, 2011, it has completed a share consolidation (the
"Consolidation") following approval of the Board of Directors of the Company and
shareholder approval on February 2, 2012. The Company obtained approval for the
Consolidation from the Canadian National Stock Exchange on April 12, 2012 and is
completing the necessary corporate filings in order to effect the Consolidation.


The Company currently has 46,139,482 issued and outstanding common shares. On a
ten (10) for one (1) basis (the "Consolidation Ratio"), the Company will have
approximately 4,613,948 shares outstanding following the Consolidation. The
exact number of post-consolidation shares will vary depending on the treatment
of fractional shares which will occur when each shareholder's holdings in the
Company are consolidated. Outstanding stock options and warrants would similarly
be adjusted by the Consolidation Ratio.


The Company is changing its name to "Berkley Renewables Inc." in connection with
the completion of the share consolidation of its common shares. A letter of
transmittal will be sent by mail to shareholders advising them that the
Consolidation and Name Change has taken effect and instructing them to surrender
their share certificates representing the number of common shares to which they
are entitled as a result of the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each
certificate formerly representing common shares 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.


At the opening of trading on April 16, 2012, the shares will trade under the new
name with a new CUSIP number, however; it continue to trade under its existing
symbol of "BKS".


Details concerning the share consolidation are contained in the Company's
Information Circular mailed to shareholders on January 9, 2012 and available on
the Company's disclosure record on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
