Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - April 5, 2023) - I-Minerals Inc. (TSXV: IMA.H) (OTC Pink: IMAHF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has continued into the Province of British Columbia under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and changed its name to "Highcliff Metals Corp." (the "Name Change").

The Company will complete the share consolidation of its issued and outstanding common shares at a ratio of ten (10) pre-consolidated shares to one (1) post-consolidated share (the "Consolidation").

A letter of transmittal will be sent to registered shareholders advising that the Consolidation has taken effect.

No action is required by non-registered shareholders (i.e., shareholders who hold their shares through an intermediary) to affect the Consolidation. Until surrendered, each certificate representing pre-Consolidation 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.

The Name Change and Consolidation will be effective on April 11, 2023, and the Company's common shares will commence trading on the NEX under its new stock symbol "HCM.H", subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.
