[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nTSXV: SFR\n\n\nVANCOUVER, May 17 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce\nthe intersection of nickel mineralization by diamond drilling carried out on\nthe Company's 100% owned Langmuir Nickel project near Timmins, Ontario. The\nCompany drilled four holes between February and April 2007 to test South Zone\nmineralization as a continuation of the 2006 drill program (holes EL-06-01 to\n03), the results of which were reported by Starfire in its January 2, 2007\nnews release.\n\n\nHole EL-07-04 was stopped early at 188 meters and did not reach its\ntarget depth due to a structural change in orientation of the stratigraphy.\nConsideration will be given to deepening this hole.\n\n\nHole EL-07-05 reached its target depth of 288 meters but failed to\nintersect the zone.\n\n\nHole EL-07-06 was collared on the frozen tailings pond from the Langmuir\nNo. 2 Mine to test the South Zone up-dip from the intersection in hole\nEL-06-03 reported on January 2, 2007 (4.48% nickel, 0.37% copper over a core\nlength of 5.55 meters). Mineralization intersected in EL-07-06 from\n202.0-203.5 meters was sampled as a single interval and consists of\nmillerite-pentlandite filled fractures at the lower komatiite-dacite contact.\nThe interval contains 3.51% nickel and 0.065% copper over a core length of 1.5\nmeters. The estimated true thickness of this intersection is 80% of the core\nlength and it occurs at a vertical depth of 190 meters below surface. The hole\nwas completed at a depth of 229 meters and is located 30 metres west of the\nInspiration Mining/Starfire Minerals claim boundary.\n\n\nHole EL-07-07 was stopped early at 117 meters due to deteriorating ice\nconditions. This hole will be re-drilled at a later date.\n\n\nThe collar locations of the 2007 program are listed in the following\ntable:\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHole No. Azimuth Inclination Northing Easting\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEL-07-04 332 60 0+76 2+75\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEL-07-05 325 45 1+40 3+50\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEL-07-06 340 72 3+80 3+70\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nEL-07-07 340 55 3+80 3+70\n---------...
