The Keevil family track record truly makes this investment provide a whole new meaning to the word EXCITEMENT!! ~

"The board and I have brought Sarissa to a point where the company needs a seasoned professional who has experience in building and running exploration companies to exploit Sarissa's current mineral property portfolio, as well as to significantly expand on that existing portfolio. I will stay on as a director and Secretary Treasurer and help Scott in any way that he needs. I am extremely happy Scott has accepted the position."

Scott remarks, "I am really looking forward to financing and exploring the exploration opportunities presented in the current Sarissa portfolio. Ben and the board have amassed a good foundation to build upon; and I have some very specific ideas of what assets to add to the existing portfolio."

Mr. Keevil said, "I'm looking forward to the challenge of following Ben, who has laid the foundation on which we can now build. I am enthusiastic about the prospects for Sarissa, as we look to strategically acquire and explore the key properties we need to move the company to the next level."

The son of a mining promoter famous for placing big bets on long shot mining plays, Keevil, 68, has carved out his own reputation as a risk taker since he joined the family controlled Teck Corp. in 1963.

In the mid 1980s, Keevil moved Teck into the big leagues by acquiring a stake in Cominco but it took years to dig Teck Cominco out of heavy debts stemming from the acquisition.

Keevil bet again in 1995 by buying a 10 per cent stake in the Voisey's Bay nickel discovery with almost no advance investigation of the remote ore body.

Keevil's gutsy investment forced Inco to pay more than it had planned for its initial stake in Voisey's Bay. He raised the stake for Inco again when Teck Cominco announced a $17.8-billion bid to buy Inco. Market watchers were quick to dismiss the bid because of its low premium and a refusal by the Keevil family to eliminate the dual class share structure that allows them to keep control of the company.

Observers have speculated that Teck Cominco's real objective is to link up with one of the bidders to gain control of the far flung mining assets owned by Inco or Falconbridge.

Gonna make some $$$$$$$$$$$ here.
