Sarissa Resources July Update

BAY CITY, MI, Jul 08, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- SRSR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Sarissa Resources, Inc., ("the Company") (PINKSHEETS: SRSR | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) is pleased to provide this update on progress on its Nemegosenda carbonatite property in Northern Ontario.

-- Sarissa has completed the purchase of the 7 patented mining claims comprising the property, consisting of approximately 2,000 acres. Full title has now been transferred to Sarissa. The total purchase price was $380,000 of which Sarissa has paid $75,000 to date, as per the purchase agreement, and given back a mortgage in the amount of $305,000 repayable without interest over the period from January 30, 2009 to July 30, 2010. -- Sarissa has staked additional claims (approximately 3,000 acres) to the West of its existing ground in order to secure any mineralization that may run under Lake Nemegosenda. Information contained in historical Dominion Gulf Company ("Gulf") geophysical data indicated that, "major values may underlie the lake."* -- Space for a site office, as well as facilities for drill core work and storage in Chapleau have been leased. -- The Company has completed the opening of roads to both the main D Zone and the East Zones. -- Initial locations for the proposed diamond-drilling program have been spotted: tenders for the drilling are currently being reviewed by the Company. -- Work is continuing on analysis of the potential of the East Zone. Prior work done in this area includes diamond drilling by Gulf, as well as an airborne geophysical survey of 622 line-kilometers conducted by Aerodat Limited in 1988.

The original drill logs from Gulf have been entered into a digital format in order to more easily work with and analyze the data; assisting in the preparation of the planned drilling program to confirm the historic results. Re-analyzing the logs has shown that some of Gulf's drilling in the D Zone was stopped while still in mineralization, indicating the deposit is open to depth.

Some historic intersects from the main D Zone are reported as follows:

Nemegosenda - D Zone * Sample Weighted Hole Number Length Average ----------- ----------- Feet % Nb2O5 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-26 253 0.60 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-47 209 0.45 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-49 518 0.60 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-51 339 0.63 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-52 447 0.66 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-53 259 0.57 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-54 50 0.42 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-55 500 0.53 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-56 200 0.57 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-57 195 0.51 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-58 202 0.50 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-59 325 0.50 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-60 298 0.42 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-62 424 0.56 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-64 401 0.57 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-65 108 0.54 ----------- ----------- DDH-208-56-66 109 0.68 ----------- -----------

In addition, Gulf internal correspondence on the East Zones, dated January 5, 1972, reported that drilling of 7960 feet in 19 holes has indicated, "Nb2O5 mineralization similar to Zone D... In addition to niobium, the Eastern Ore Area contains rare earths such as cerium, yttrium, lanthanum and neodymium... all rare-earth elements are present in significant amounts in the East Ore Area except promethium and lutetium." The correspondence continues to say; "Initial assay results from material collected in 1971 indicate the presence of a major ore body (bodies) of light rare-earths and columbium [niobium] in the East Ore Area with the possibility of heavy rare-earth elements as a by-product."*

In a "Report on the Geology and NB, Y, REE Potential of the East Zone, Nemegosenda Lake Alkaline Complex" by the consulting geological services company, Beaty Geological Ltd. of Vancouver, BC, it was reported that, "samples collected from outcrop in the 'East Zone' have quantitative analyses, with values of 0.29% yttrium oxide, 1.61% cerium oxide, 0.76% lanthanum oxide 0.62% neodymium oxide, and 440 ppm europium reported from one [sample]." *
