TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - May 20, 2010) -

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES

Strategic Resource Acquisition Corporation ("SRA") (TSX VENTURE:SRZ.H) is pleased to announce that it has acquired from Redcorp Ventures Ltd. ("Redcorp"), its Portuguese subsidiary Redcorp Empreendimentos Mineiros Unipessoal, Lda, ("REM").

The assets of the Acquisition include two exploration projects in Portugal covering gold prospects at the Vila de Rei concession and polymetallic massive sulphide mineralization at the 208 km2 Lagoa Salgada Concession. The Lagoa Salgada concession covers a partially defined massive sulphide deposit which was subject of a 43-101 compliant resource estimate prepared by Wardrop Engineering Inc. for Redcorp. Redcorp disclosed the estimate on August 21, 2007 and filed the technical report on SEDAR on October 1, 2007. The technical report estimated an inferred resource totalling 2,017,000 tonnes grading 0.35% copper, 4.83% lead, 5.13% zinc, 1.29 g/t gold and 85.35 g/t silver. The deposit remains open to expansion. In addition, Redcorp discovered a second polymetallic mineralized horizon on the Lagoa Salgada concession, at Rio de Moinhos, approximately 11 km southeast of the Lagoa Salgada deposit. Intercepts at Rio de Moinhos are interpreted to be lateral fringe mineralization of a separate massive sulphide zone.

The Lagoa Salgada property is located at the northwest extension of the Iberian Pyrite belt, which hosts numerous past and current producing mines in both Spain and Portugal. Lagoa Salgada is located approximately 60 km northwest of the large Aljustrel mining complex and 80 km northwest of the producing Neves-Corvo mine of Lundin Mining. The major connecting highway to the Algarve and rail line for transporting mine concentrates pass adjacent to the Lagoa Salgada project.

Gold mineralization at the Vila de Rei property in central Portugal occurs in persistent quartz vein systems up to 15m in width and in breccia zones associated with late granitic intrusives. The concession covers sites of Roman-era placer gold mining operations.

With the acquisition of REM concluded, SRA intends to proceed shortly with the consolidation of its common shares, as approved at the annual meeting held on March 30, 2010, (see April 22, 2010 press release), and completing the necessary listing requirements to list the common shares of SRA on the Canadian National Stock Exchange ("CNSX").

SRA is a Toronto-based mineral development company, focused on acquisition and development of base and precious metal properties in Canada and in low-risk foreign locations.

The Qualified Person for SRA, as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is Terence Chandler, P.Geo, Executive Vice President, with more than 35 years experience in the minerals industry.
