STARFIELD MOBILIZES FOR NEXT DRILL PROGRAM ON PGE PROPERTY

Starfield Resources Inc. has commenced mobilization for the Winter/Spring drilling program at the Ferguson Lake Property in Nunavut Canada, where the Company is exploring a massive sulphide deposit containing Nickel-Copper-Palladium-Platinum-Cobalt metals. At present, a resource of 11 million tonnes has been calculated for the property. The current program, budgeted at 1.5 million dollars, includes detailed geophysical surveying (UTEM, magnetics and downhole UTEM) and 5000 meters of core drilling.

The Company's geophysical consultants have recommended that additional UTEM and magnetic surveys be undertaken to trace east and west extensions of the currently known 9 kilometer long host zone. Additional survey work is also recommended to explore geological and geophysical anomalies which may represent a deep source area for the current resource sulphides.

ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

‘Glen Macdonald”

Glen Macdonald, P.Geol., Director

Putting a face on the Russian pgm export market: Can one Russian make a difference?-
_______________

'I met a gentleman sporting a Marc Rich name tag the other day. It was at Standard Bank London's annual platinum presentation

'"Is [aluminium and base metals trader] Marc Rich now trading platinum and palladium?" I asked.
...
'...I asked the gentleman for his card.

'It read : "Alexey V. Zakharov---- The Trade Delegation of The Russian Federation In The UK."

'"You've given me the wrong card," I said.

'Mr Zakharov shook his head and smiled.
...
'Mr Zakharov told us that platinum and palladium would be delivered in a few weeks and there would be "big changes" relating to Russia's platinum metals marketing.

'The precious metals community, struggling with Russian induced gyrating platinum, palladium and rhodium prices, waits and waits.'

From 'Marc Rich, Alexy V. Zakharov & Platinum' by Neil Behrmann on Miningweb at Moneyweb, full story at

________________

Maybe there is more than one Russian trying to make news? I was just getting used to the varying, contradictory and unbelievable 'news' coming out of Russia -- it's all been real good for the pgm market and equities.
