SRSR releases highly positive assessment results

Sarissa Announces Release of Independent Report on Nemegosenda Property
Tuesday May 20, 9:00 am ET


BAY CITY, MI--(MARKET WIRE)--May 20, 2008 -- Sarissa Resources, Inc. (Other OTC:SRSR.PK - News) announced today that the Company has received the results of an independent geological report on the Nemegosenda property, "Preliminary Analysis and Recommendations for National Instrument 43-101 Compliant Reserve Estimate." The report was commissioned to evaluate the past work done on the property and to recommend a work program to bring the reported reserve estimates up to 43-101 standards.
The Nemegosenda property hosts a historically reported deposit containing 20,000,000 tons of 0.47% Nb2O5 material. The deposit was initially identified through extensive diamond drilling, and a 580-foot adit driven into the ore-body to obtain a bulk sample for metallurgical extraction tests. This report was commissioned to complete an independent review of the historical work done on the property and to assess the compliance with NI 43-101 of Dominion Gulf's historical reserve estimates.

The report concludes that the Nemegosenda property is a property of merit and a work program has been recommended, including diamond drilling, to obtain a 43-101 compliant reserve estimate on the main ore-body in Zone D. A further program is recommended to conduct follow-up exploration in Zones A, B, E, F and G south east of the main deposit to develop reserve estimates on known niobium occurrences in these areas. Additional exploration work will also include analyses for tantalum, rare earth elements ("REE"), and uranium.

The full report may be accessed on the Sarissa website. Excerpted highlights include:

"Of particular note, four core samples from Zone D, the Breccia Complex and Zone G were elevated (up to 0.5%) in rare earth's lanthanum (La), neodymium (Nd), and cerium (Ce). Analyses for uranium and tantalum were not performed in the OGS [Ontario Geological Survey] study."

"The author obtained a copy of the Ontario Department of Mines and Northern Development Mineral Resources Circular 14 entitled "Columbium (Niobium) Deposits in Ontario" by Stewart Ferguson, 1971. The circular reported that approximately 1,000 tons of mineralized material was mined from the D Zone, of which 40 tons were shipped for metallurgical pilot plant testing. The results of the test yielded 90% recovery of niobium."

"The historical work done to date is detailed and of high quality. The mode of emplacement is well understood and the potentially economic D Zone has been well outlined. The detailed work of the OGS in the 1970's and 80's has largely confirmed the interpretations and the historical exploration work of Parsons and the Dominion Gulf Company."

"The D Zone historical reserve estimate of 20,000,000 tonnes grading 0.47% Nb2O5 is within the range currently considered economic in carbonatite-alkalic rock complex literature for commercial production. Tantalum and REE are commonly associated with these niobium occurrences. Therefore the economic potential of the Nemegosenda complex could be substantially greater than what has historically been inferred by the presence of tantalum, REE, and uranium. Also, the East Zone area has good potential to substantially increase the overall reserves of the Sarissa property as described earlier."

Sarissa president, Scott Keevil, commented, "We're obviously extremely pleased with the results. While we knew what we had, it's always nice to get outside, independent verification." The company will be starting a drilling program as soon as feasible, and Mr. Keevil continued, "This will be a very exciting time for us; drilling in the East Zones for lateral and vertical extensions of existing mineralization could add significantly to the property value. Meanwhile, with all the past work and analyses done on the D Zone by Gulf and the OGS, re-drilling that will be a little like shooting fish in a barrel."

Dr. Cam Cheriton (PhD in Economic Geology), a director of Sarissa, is a "qualified person" within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101 and has read and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
