Sarissa Resources Inc.: Sarissa Resources Inc. Shining Tree Exploration Results and Nemegosenda Update

OAKVILLE, ON--(Marketwire - September 25, 2009) - Sarissa Resources Inc. ("Sarissa" or the "Company") (PINKSHEETS: [ SRSR ]) is pleased to release the first results from the summer surface exploration program at the Shining Tree gold property in northern Ontario.

The program was conducted under the supervision of the late Alan Hawke, and the resulting data reviewed by Warren Hawkins, geologist. The program consisted of stripping and blasting work on the historical large scale gold bearing quartz stockwork vein systems and wall rocks found within the central area of the property. Values as high as 53.9 grams per tonne (1.57 ounces per ton) gold were obtained. These results confirm that gold mineralization on the property is found within a broad spectrum of geological horizons, and the potential for a large tonnage deposit is very promising.

The next phase of the program will be to drill test the depth extensions of these surface zones for gold mineralization. Based on the current results and review of the historic data, the property has strong merit and a 43-101 compliant technical report is being prepared. The Company has not made a definitive decision as to whether to carry out the next exploration phase internally, or to enter into a joint venture arrangement.

At the Company's Nemegosenda niobium property a summer program to drill a further three holes in the Hawke Zone (formerly the D Zone) has concluded, as previously announced. The core from these holes is being logged and sent for assay. As a number of holes from the past year's drilling have ended in mineralization at vertical depths around 200 metres, the Company has decided to bring in a larger drill rig to allow for further depth testing of the mineralized zone from these and other holes. This next phase program is expected to commence in October.

Further exploration this summer also expanded potential mineralized areas of the SE Zone. A follow-up drilling program is being planned to test potential mineralized extensions of this zone. The SE Zone "occurs 1500 metres south east of the Hawke Zone). From the 1955 and 1956 drilling programs 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" ("Technical Report on the Nemegosenda Property for Sarissa Resources Inc." - July 21, 2009-Billiken Management Services Inc.).

The metallurgical testing program previously announced continues and results will be reported when available. This program provides a multi-disciplinary approach designed to 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 niobium phase, in order to establish a baseline flowsheet for targeted product recovery.

The Company has acquired further claims surrounding its current holdings at Nemegosenda, and believes that any potential extensions of the mineralized areas may be covered in its 5500 acre holdings.
