## Exhibit 99.1

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc: Notification of relevant change to significant shareholder**

ST HELIER, Jersey, Jan. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Caledonia Mining Corporation Plc ("Caledonia" or the "Company") (NYSE AMERICAN: CMCL; AIM: CMCL; VFEX: CMCL) announces that it received notification on January 19, 2023 from Van Eck Associates Corporation ("Van Eck"), a "significant shareholder" of the Company as defined by the AIM Rules for Companies.

Upon the recent completion of the transaction to acquire Bilboes Gold Limited (see announcement by the Company on January 6, 2023), the Company issued 4,425,797 new shares representing 25.64 per cent of Caledonia's fully diluted share capital. The Company now has three new significant shareholders, as set out in the announcement, and, as a consequence, Van Eck's percentage interest in the fully diluted share capital has decreased and the Company has been notified by Van Eck accordingly.

A copy of the notification is below.
