Nemegosenda

Sarissa Resources Announces Financing Option Agreement

Oakville, ON, August 3, 2011 - Sarissa Resources, Inc. ("Sarissa" or "the Company") (OTC Pinksheets: SRSR) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option and financing agreement (the "Option") with a company based in Hong Kong (referred to as "HKHE"). Under the terms of the Option, when exercised between CDN$5,500,000 and CDN$10,000,000 will have been raised by HKHE and Sarissa will transfer the ownership of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Nio-Star Corp.,  to HKHE in return for approximately 65% to 75% of the capital of HKHE, depending on the amounts raised. At that time Sarissa will have the right to appoint three directors to the board of HKHE, and the finance group will have the right to appoint two.

The funds raised under the Option will be used to conduct pre-feasibility metallurgical studies and scoping studies. The reports will be structured to qualify as a Preliminary Assessment under NI 43-101, including geological modeling and further resource estimates of the mineral potential of Nio-Star's wholly-owned Nemegosenda niobium property. Funds will also be used towards evaluating and pursuing a potential listing of HKHE. Budget proposals for these various studies have been received and the contracts will be let shortly. Please see below for further details on these anticipated reports.

With these updated studies and reports on the Nemegosenda property the Company hopes that HKHE (tentatively to be renamed Nio-Star Holdings) would become a separate reporting issuer in 2012. At the time of such listing, if successful, the Company may enact a dividend-in-kind spin out transaction (the "Spin-Out") involving the pro rata distribution of its share holdings in HKHE to Sarissa shareholders of record on a date to be set later this year. Management of Sarissa has determined to seek shareholder approval for the Option and Spin-Out at a special meeting of shareholders. Details will be mailed to shareholders.

Sarissa believes this financing arrangement and proposed Spin-Out plan represent an important milestone in the continued development of the Nemegosenda property and realizing value for Sarissa shareholders. In particular it provides immediate funding without the prospect of a significant number of new shares overhanging the market. In addition the transaction provides us with access to finance groups in both Hong Kong and China, which may greatly assist in a successful listing, and the ultimate development of our asset. With a large retail investor base in Hong Kong and China and with the proximity to Asian capital and major resource markets in China we look forward to an exciting future.

SARISSA POISED TO STRENGTHEN CANADA'S NIOBIUM POSITION
Chapleau has a mining future

The Nemegosenda property comprises approximately 9000 acres in Northern Ontario that, in historic exploration and testing, has indicated the existence of considerable carbonatite-hosted niobium mineralization.   The property is easily accessible off of Highway 101 between Timmins and Chapleau, Ontario (Chewett and Collins Townships). The patented claims were purchased in January 2008 for $380,000 Canadian -- payable over a four-year period -- and 2% royalty concessions on all mineral and/or metal production from the property. Sarissa Resources, however, retained the right to repurchase 1.5% of the royalty concessions at any time in the future for a predetermined price.  The Company believes that any potential extensions of the mineralized areas may be covered in its 9000 acre holdings.

The Nemegosenda Property (map) was identified in the mid-nineteen fifties through aeromagnetic surveys conducted by Gulf Minerals Canada Limited. Subsequent exploration and testing, as summarized in the Ontario Geological Survey study 34 by R.P Sage (click to read the full report) in 1987, highlighted a number of "higher grade niobium zones." Of particular note, Zone D indicated "20,000,000 tons of 0.47 percent Nb2O5 material in a block 600 by 800 feet in size and to depths up to 600 feet," based on Gulf's drilling and a 580 foot adit which penetrated 235 feet into the zone. Based on this historic (non-NI-43-101-compliant) data (Pg 34), this indicates the potential for approximately 9.4 pounds of Nb2O5 per ton of ore in situ. The original drill logs from Gulf can be viewed here.

Other zones within the property have also indicated smaller, but meaningful niobium mineralization. Another area of mineralization of Niobium and rare earths called the 'South-East' Area was previously outlined on the property. It occurs 1500 metres south east of the Hawke zone (formerly called 'D' Zone). From the 1955 and 1956 drilling program by Dominion Gulf, plus re-assaying of nine drill holes by Musto Explorations in 1988 which covered this area, a historical resource of Niobium mineralization was indicated to exist within an area of some 700m x 250m to a depth of 200m having a weighted average from the assays of all drill holes of 0.35% Nb2O5.

It should be noted that the drilling program successfully confirmed both the mineralized zone data historically reported, and that the mineralization continues below what had previously been identified as the depth of the mineralized zone. It has also demonstrated that the mineralized zone increases in grade and depth towards the eastern portion of the zone.

The results from the current diamond drilling, as well as the records from the historical drill logs, indicate that the mineralized area continues below the 600 foot level initially indicated by Gulf.  DDH-09-73 was drilled by Sarissa to a depth of ~250 metres, and returned a 4.5 metre sample of 1.8% Nb2O5, from 229.30 to 233.80 metres.

           DDH-09-73
                       Nb2O5%
Metres From     To
1.5    229.30   230.80 2.5%
1.5    230.80   232.30 1.7%
1.5    232.30   233.80 1.4%

Sarissa's current drilling program has increased the confidence level in the historic exploration and subsequent evaluation to the point that an indicated resource may now be calculated for the D Zone. Drill hole intersections, with a weighted average grade of 0.43%, are located within a surface area of some 76,250 square metres and to a depth of at least 200m. In 1958 an adit was driven 580 feet into the D Zone where historic sampling indicated that the average grade contains a weighted average of 0.57% Nb2O5.

In July 2009, Sarissa announced the completion of an independent technical report on its 100% owned niobium property in northern Ontario. The report was prepared by John C. Archibald, P. Geo. of Billiken Management Services Inc. of Toronto, and was prepared to standards as outlined by National Instrument 43-101 Standards and Disclosures for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). 

In addition the Company has opened up 4 trenches in the SE Zone. Scintillomoter readings taken within the trenching area have provided significant readings. The trenching program was conducted initially under the supervision of the late Alan Hawke, and followed up on by geologist Hillar Pintson. It was conducted in the middle of the SE Zone, where forty-nine 2.5 metre continuous channel samples were collected along the northern side of trench 09-5A and submitted for assaying. The average grade over the full 122.5 metre length of the trench was 0.35% Nb2O5. In the 49 samples submitted for assay, highlights included 2 samples of greater than 1% Nb2O5 and 10 samples greater than 0.5% Nb2O5. As well as the significant Nb2O5 results, the samples returned anomalous values of tantalum and uranium, along with 2 samples of greater than ten thousand ppm total rare earth elements.

Of additional significance is that this trenching program was carried out in an area of the SE Zone that had not previously been drilled, so continues to expand the area of potential mineralization in this area. A follow-up drilling program has been initiated to test the areas underneath the zone exposed during the trenching program.

Metallurgical Testing:  A further aspect of this program will entail beginning metallurgical studies. SGS Lakefield Research Ltd. has been retained to conduct a Proof of concept program, which will focus on the recovery of niobium compounds. The multi-disciplinary approach will fully characterize the ore, investigate if physical ore upgrading is feasible by standard ore beneficiation processes, and develop a hydrometallurgical method for the extraction and selective recovery of (initially) the Nb phase. The investigation should be considered as a scoping or pre-feasibility study to establish a baseline flowsheet for targeted product recovery.

So far the first phase of metallurgical testing has been completed and no barriers to extraction have been identified. This correlates well with the previous $1,000,000 of metallurgical research conducted by Dominion Gulf Company in conjunction with the Colorado School of Mines Research Foundation in 1959-1960. The next stage metallurgical testing will focus on a more detailed mineralogical study.
