ST HELIER, CHANNEL ISLANDS--(Marketwired - Jul 24, 2017) - Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc (the "Company" or "Caledonia")
(TSX:CAL)(OTCQX:CALVD)(AIM:CMCL) is pleased to announce that the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") has approved the listing of the
Company's common shares on the NYSE American stock exchange. The Company expects that its common shares will begin trading on the
NYSE American on July 27, 2017 under the trading ticker symbol "CMCL". The Company remains listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange
("TSX") under the symbol "CAL" and depositary interests in the common shares remain admitted to trading on AIM of the London
Stock Exchange plc under the symbol "CMCL". The trading of the Company's common shares on the OTCQX under the symbol "CALVD" is
expected to cease upon the commencement of trading on the NYSE American.
Steve Curtis, CEO, stated, "This listing for the Company on the NYSE American is another significant step for
Caledonia which joins some of the world's best-known gold and precious metals companies with a listing on this prestigious US
exchange. This further step in the development of Caledonia's corporate status has taken place against the backdrop of continued
progress on our major operational development projects, principally the sinking of the Central Shaft at the Blanket Mine in
Zimbabwe. The Central Shaft, which is being funded from Blanket's internal resources, is expected to fundamentally change the
nature of Blanket's operations by improving operating efficiencies and providing access to deeper levels for exploration,
development and production. Completion of the Central Shaft remains on schedule for the fourth quarter of 2018. The listing on
the NYSE American is intended to provide the Company with greater access to US institutional and retail investors which in turn
is hoped will result in better overall trading liquidity, a lower cost of capital and other benefits for Caledonia and its
shareholders."

recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, success of future exploration and drilling programs, reliability of
