Starfield Resources Inc. - Ferguson Lake Drilling Discovers New High Grade Palladium '103 g/t-3.29 oz/t' Platinum '26.7 g/t-0.85 oz/t' HorizonFerguson Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Project, Nunavut, Canada VANCOUVER, B.C., Oct 4, 2001 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Starfield (OTC: SRFDF chart, msgs)(CDNX:SRU.) has received results for a deep, stepout exploration drill hole recently completed at the Ferguson Lake nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE project. Drill hole FL01-101, located on Section 6800 West, was sited 200 meters west of drill hole FL01-89 (reported 7th September 2001) and intersected the West Zone massive sulphide target approximately 200 meters lower than in hole FL01-89. A separate low-sulphide section with high-grade palladium-platinum content was intersected in FL01-101 above the massive sulphide zone. Significantly, this new zone is interpreted as a separate horizon within the overall gabbroic host sill. It may represent a distinct mineralizing event caused by primary differentiation during cooling of the original sill similar to depositional styles seen at Merensky Reef in Southern Africa. The intersection in FL01-101 from 962.28 to 962.63 meters (0.35 meters) returned assays of 26.71 g/t platinum (0.85 oz/ton) and 103 g/t palladium (3.29 oz/ton). Results for zones intersected in hole FL01-101 are summarized below: DRILL HOLE FL01-101 Meters -------------------------------- From To Thickness -------------------------------- 962.28 962.63 0.35 -------------------------------- (table continued) ------------------------------------------------------ Pd g/t (oz/t) Pt g/t (oz/t) Cu % Ni % Co% ------------------------------------------------------ 103 (3.29) 26.7 (0.85) - - - ------------------------------------------------------ Follow-up analytical work is currently underway to further evaluate the new discovery.
