[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Jan. 2 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce\nthe intersection of high grade nickel mineralization on the Company's 100%\nowned Langmuir Nickel project near Timmins, Ontario. The Company has completed\ndrilling an additional three holes to test South Zone mineralization, during\nDecember 2006.\n\n\nThe South Zone was discovered in the late 1970's by the INCO-Noranda\njoint venture that operated the Langmuir No. 2 deposit. In 1989, Timmins\nNickel Ltd. drilled 4 holes into the South Zone confirming the down plunge and\nstrike extension of the deposit.\n\n\nThe first two diamond drill holes from December 2006 (EL-06-01&02) were\ndrilled to test a down-hole anomaly located by Timmins Nickel in 1990,\napproximately 150 metres west of any previously located mineralization. The\nkomatiite-dacite contact was weakly mineralized in both holes with the best\nresult in hole No. 2 grading 0.31% Ni over a core length of 1.5 metres.\n\n\nThe third hole (EL-06-03) was a 30 metre step-out west from Timmins\nNickel hole L-89-01 that intersected 4.88% Ni over a core length of 1.85\nmetres. The L-89-01 information is prior to implementation of NI 43-101\nstandards. Any historical information provided is for reference only and the\nreader should not infer or assert that the information is correct, reliable,\nrelevant or accurate and should not be relied upon.\n\n\nHole (El-06-03) intersected massive, net textured and disseminated\npentlandite and millerite from 424.35 m to 429.90m. The entire section\naveraged 4.48% Nickel, 0.37% Copper and 0.044% Cobalt over a core length of\n5.55 metres. True width of the intersection is estimated at 60-65% of the core\nlength.\n\n\nA breakdown of the intersection is as follows:\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nFrom (m) To (m) Length (m) % Nickel % Copper % Cobalt\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 424.35 425.62 1.27 9.21 0.68 0.137\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 425.62 426.24 0.62 3.66 0.105 0.024\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 426.24 427.30 1.06 3.38 0.029 0.014\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n 427.30 428.00 0.70 0.79 0.022 0.004\n---------------------...
