SHARPE IS NEGOTIATING TO COMPLETE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS TO ACQUIRE INTERESTS IN TWO PERMITTED COAL MINE PROPERTIES IN EASTERN KENTUCKY

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HEATHSVILLE, VA, MARCH 24, 2008, SHARPE RESOUCES CORPORATION: (SHO.H)

Sharpe has completed letters of intent agreements and deposits to purchase interests in two separate coal mine properties in Eastern Kentucky for $850,000. The projects are expected to close in less than 30 days. One of the projects is located in Pike County, Kentucky and the other is located in Lawrence County, Kentucky. All of these properties are permitted and bonded to go immediately into coal production. The properties are fully equipped to include the necessary mining equipment for both the underground mine and the surface, strip mine. The underground property should go into production in April at a projected mine rate of approximately 30,000 tons per month followed by an additional 25,000 tons per month for the surface mine for a total monthly production that is projected to be about 55,000 tons per month, according to Roland M. Larsen, qualified person.

These properties include excellent growth potential with large acreage positions and very good coal quality, the Pike County project is capable of supporting several additional surface and underground mines on the property. These developments could yield considerable increases in the production rates on these properties. Additionally, the Company will seek to acquire additional properties that could serve to accelerate production growth over the next two years.

Recently Platt’s coal outlook has indicated that “the Central Appalachian coal market is going into 2008 with tight supplies and higher prices due to heavy demand, declining production and mining difficulties.” This situation is also affected by a marked increase in the second half of 2007 from overseas customers for both metallurgical and steam coal showing a 38% increase in sales over 2006”. Annual Energy outlook has predicted that US coal exports would continue at high tonnages until some time in 2010 and 2015. This coal will go to primarily Europe and Canada. This demand will also tighten supplies for domestic steam coal consumers translating to higher coal prices and a strong market for produced coal going forward. NYMEX, Big Sandy and locally posted coal prices range up to $80-$85/ ton for steam (electrical) generation coal to over $150+ /ton for metallurgical quality coal and it is hard to find the coal to fill current orders in many instances.

Sharpe will continue to evaluate and acquire additional coal development opportunities within the Central Appalachian region over the next 2-3 months.
