Starfield Reports Results for the Fourth Quarter and Year ended February 28, 2009 and Provides Exploration Update Thu Apr 23, 5:30 PM ca.news.finance.yahoo.com TORONTO, April 23, 2009 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU/OTCBB: SRFDF) today announced that its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended February 28, 2009 have been filed on SEDAR. For the three and twelve month periods ended February 28, 2009, Starfield incurred costs for exploration and related equipment totaling $1.9 million and $28.7 million, respectively. The exploration expenditures were directed toward the continued advancement of the Company's Ferguson Lake project in Nunavut, including its grassroots diamond and gold exploration programs on the surrounding area. Administrative expenditures amounted to $1.4 million and $3.5 million for the three and twelve months ended February 28, 2009, respectively. During the year ended February 28, 2009, Starfield raised $22.3 million through private placements, and at February 28, 2009, the Company had approximately $3.9 million of cash on hand. Exploration update ------------------ The Company is currently flying a DigHEM electro-magnetic survey to further delineate possible diamond and gold targets in the vicinity of the Y Lake Trend. The survey is expected to identify high potential geologic structures to a higher degree of resolution than the previous airborne survey. Surveying should be completed by the beginning of May with a preliminary interpretation available in due course, typically 8 to 10 weeks after completion of the survey. Pending the results of this airborne survey, additional ground reconnaissance work, rock-chip sampling of targeted areas and closely spaced follow-up till sampling would be the next step. Additional diamond drilling will also take place if warranted. The annual audited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and additional information are available on the Company's website and on SEDAR.
