OAKVILLE, ON--(Marketwire - July 16, 2010) - Sarissa Resources Inc. ("Sarissa" or the "Company") (PINKSHEETS: [ SRSR ]) was selected by the B.C. Securities Commission ("BCSC") for a technical disclosure review. In its review, the BCSC identified several issues with the Company's disclosure on its Nemegosenda niobium project in Ontario contained in an independent technical report prepared for the Company by Billiken Management Services Inc. dated July 2009 on the Nemegosenda property (the "Report"), and in the Company's February 26, 2009 and April 22, 2009 press releases.

Due to these disclosure issues, the BCSC has issued an order ("Cease Trade Order") requiring that all trading in the securities of the Company cease until the Company files with the BCSC a revised Report in the required form on its Nemegosenda project in Ontario, and the BCSC makes an order revoking the Cease Trade Order. Although the Cease Trade Order is effective only in British Columbia, all investors are cautioned that the resource estimates referred to in the Report and in previous disclosure by the Company should not be relied upon until they have been independently verified and supported by a revised Report compliant with National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101"). An amended Report and clarifying press release are being prepared for submission to the BCSC, and for public dissemination.

In addition, in previous news releases the Company made reference to volume quantities and grades of mineral resources in the SE Zone and D-Zone of the Nemegosenda property. As these references do not fully comply with NI 43-101, this information should not be relied upon until they have been independently verified and supported by a revised Report.

While the Company has dedicated significant internal and external resources to verifying the information previously released, the disclosure to the public was not in compliance with NI 43-101. These compliance issues are being addressed and an amended technical Report is expected to be submitted to the BCSC. Billiken Management Services Inc. is continuing work to prepare a resource estimate covering a portion of the Nemegosenda property.

Warren Hawkins, P.Eng. is a "qualified person" within the meaning of NI 43-101 and has read and is responsible for the technical information contained in this news release.
