Potential for uranium mineralization Capri Property

SFR: TSX-V

VANCOUVER, July 12 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals (the company) is pleased to
announce that the summary report for the first phase field program has
outlined the potential for substantial uranium mineralization on their Capri
Property in Quebec, Canada.
Radiometric surveys conducted by Capri Mining in 1969 revealed a
northwest trending anomaly a kilometre long extending from the southeast to
northwest of the Capri property. This survey defined 5 main anomalous zones,
the most prominent zone being Zone 4. Most of the mineralized drill
intersections in target Zone 4 are located in coarse-grained fluorite-diopside
pegmatite. The best uranium core intersections from this old work in,
lbs/metric ton/metre, are as follows:

1.72 / 9    1.7 / 16    0.75 / 5     0.88 / 11     0.86 / 6    0.72 / 6.

The radiometric survey completed in June 2005 by the company has
confirmed the previous radiometric anomalies reported in 1969. The main
anomalous band is 100 to 250 meters wide extending south-southeasterly to the
southern edge of the grid and open to the south. The total length of the main
band is approximately 3,100 meters. The survey has also revealed several other
anomalies throughout the grid area. All threshold scintillometer readings
taken on the property indicate the main cause of the radioactive readings is
uranium.
In June 2005 several radiometric anomalous zones were revisited. The
recent fieldwork also resulted in the discovery of several new zones. The main
target, Zone 4, was stripped and scintillometer readings gave between 15 to 40
times the background values. An extension of Zone 4 was discovered to the
south where the readings were as high as 40 times background.
A second target zone, known as Zone 2 (south of Zone 4), was stripped of
organic cover and surveyed. Within Zone 2 a diopside-bearing gneiss
approximately 2 meters wide and more than 100 meters long returned
scintillometer readings 25 times background values.
Several exposures within this zone returned readings between 40 to 90
times background values with a maximum of 370 times background. The southern
extension of this zone was recently discovered covering an area of 200 meters
with scintillometer readings measured at 20 to 50 times background values.
As part of the fieldwork Potassium, Uranium, and Thorium scintillometer
readings were taken on the anomalous zones and confirmed the relative high-
count values for uranium suggesting a high concentration of uraninite with
respect to thorite or uranothorite.
Thirty eight (38) samples, 29 rock channel samples and 9 bulk samples,
were sent to Lakefield Research for uranium - thorium analysis as well as 30
element ICP. Results will be released as soon as available.
The first phase program was successful to delineate potential for uranium
mineralization within the Capri Property.
A second phase work program will include diamond drilling to delineate
the target zones identified by past and recent work. A total of 2,500 meters
of diamond drilling is recommended to test the extension and depth of target
Zones No. 2 and No. 4. Ground radiometric, prospecting/rock sampling and
mapping surveys will be conducted in several newly staked areas concurrently
with the drilling program.
The compilation and presentation of the technical data in this news
release has been prepared by A. Ciesielski, DSc., P.Geol. of Montreal, the
Qualified Person (QP) under NI 43-101 currently supervising the project.
