Market Wire, September, 2008

Strateco Resources Inc. ("Strateco") (TSX: RSC) (OTCBB: SRSIF) (FRANKFURT: RF9) is pleased to announce that the updated NI 43-101 resource estimate, prepared by Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates ("Scott Wilson RPA"), for the Matoush uranium project is now available on SEDAR and on our website ( www.stratecoinc.com ). The wholly-owned Matoush property is located 300 km north of Chibougamau in the Otish Mountains, Quebec.

The updated NI 43-101 resource estimate for the Matoush uranium project showed Indicated Mineral Resources estimated to total 250 thousand tonnes grading 0.68% U3O8 containing 3.73 million pounds U3O8 and Inferred Mineral Resources estimated to total 1.3 million tonnes grading 0.44% U3O8 containing 13.07 million pounds U3O8.

"In just ten months since the initial resource estimate in September 2007, Strateco has successfully discovered and delineated a substantial increase to the resources at Matoush. (...) Considering the size of the Matoush property with the numerous interpreted fault zones and nine areas with anomalous radioactive boulders, there is a vast exploration potential to be investigated. (...) Scott Wilson RPA concludes that there is also potential for unconformity-type uranium deposits on the Matoush property." Scott Wilson RPA, September 16, 2008.

This press release has been approved by Jean-Pierre Lachance, Geo., Executive Vice President of Strateco Resources Inc., and R. Barry Cook, P.Eng. Associate Consulting Geologist and David A. Ross, P.Geo., Senior Geologist, both at Scott Wilson Roscoe Postle Associates who are all qualified persons as defined under National Instrument 43-101.
