CNI Continental Nickel Limited

Continental Nickel Limited (TSX VENTURE:CNI) ("Continental" or "CNI") announces
that the Board of Directors of Continental has determined, after discussions
with IMX Resources Limited ("IMX"), to reschedule the special meeting of
shareholders of CNI (the "Shareholder Meeting") called to consider the proposed
arrangement with IMX (the "Arrangement") from August 29, 2012 to a new
Shareholder Meeting date of Wednesday, September 12, 2012. 


As previously announced, under the proposed Arrangement each Continental
shareholder will receive 3.7 IMX ordinary shares plus 0.5 of an ordinary share
purchase warrant for each Continental common share held. Each whole warrant will
entitle the holder to acquire one IMX ordinary share at an exercise price of
A$0.60 or C$0.62 per IMX ordinary share (at the sole election of the holder) and
will expire three years from completion of the Arrangement. Any Continental
common shares acquired on exercise of existing Continental options prior to the
completion date of the transaction will participate in the Arrangement.


Outstanding Continental options on the effective date of the Arrangement will,
as previously disclosed, receive replacement IMX options. The number of
replacement options and the exercise price of those options will be determined
based on the effective exchange ratio of the Arrangement as contemplated by the
Arrangement Agreement.


Further information regarding the proposed Arrangement and the Shareholder
Meeting will be contained in an information circular that Continental will
prepare, file and mail to Continental shareholders shortly. All shareholders are
urged to read such materials carefully once they become available as they will
contain additional important information concerning the Arrangement.


Subject to obtaining the approval of CNI shareholders at the Shareholder Meeting
and the approval of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) and
satisfying certain other conditions, including receipt of all necessary
regulatory approvals, the proposed Arrangement is currently anticipated to close
in September 2012, following the date of the Shareholder Meeting.
