SRSR Sarissa Resources Inc (CE)

Sarissa Resources Inc. ("Sarissa") (PINKSHEETS: SRSR), through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nio-Star Corp. ("Nio-Star"), is pleased to release this update to shareholders relating to ongoing activities.

Over the recent past we have entered into 2 separate Letters of Intent ("LOI"): one with a private group based in Hong Kong ("HKHE"); and the second with a Chinese State Owned Enterprise Company ("SOE"). These were entered into with the goal of financing the next stage of development of Nio-Star's niobium property (with the objective of completing a project scoping study) and, in the case of HKHE, the potential spinout and listing of Nio-Star as a separate public company. While both of these LOIs have expired, a good working relationship was developed with both groups, and we continue to have an interest in working with either or both of them.

As part of the revised Letter of Intent with the SOE, a further step toward the scoping study phase was instigated in China through the metallurgical testing of a large sample of rock from the niobium property. Although this testing work was originally intended to be completed in a relatively quick turnaround time, it remains ongoing. Under the terms of the amended LOI signed with the SOE, Nio-Star is entitled to receive copies of the reports from these studies. We anticipate these will be useful in advancing the progress of the scoping study, along with the SGS Lakefield Research report, "An Investigation into Extraction and Treatment of Niobium Bearing Ores From the Chewett Orebody - Phase 1", prepared for Sarissa; and the report, "Nemegosenda Niobium Project: Ferro-Niobium Production Facility Pre-Feasibility Study (Phase 1)," currently being prepared for Nio-Star.

The expiration of the previous LOIs has allowed Nio-Star and Sarissa to pursue other financing and development sources that have approached them. Given the relative uniqueness and rapidly expanding technological uses of niobium, along with the fact that there are only 3 significant suppliers world-wide, there remains a good potential for us to complete a transaction with a strong partner. To that end we have been in discussions with other interested parties. Non disclosure agreements have been signed with certain parties in order to provide detailed technical data, but these have not yet resulted in transaction agreements.

Sarissa is also pleased to report that it has raised $255,000 through a private placement of 12,750,000 of its shares at $0.02 per share. The proceeds received will be used as general working capital.
