[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTSXV: SFR\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 8 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Nickel Inc. a division of\nStarfire Minerals Inc. has received a technical report for its Langmuir South\nProperty in Ontario, Canada. The report was prepared by Gerald Harron, P. Eng.\nof Ontario. Starfire Minerals also engaged A. Birkeland, P. Eng. of Arnex\nResources Ltd. to conduct a field review of the property in January 2006.\nThe property consists of 4 unpatented and unsurveyed contiguous claims\ncomprised of 17 units covering a nominal 272 ha. in Langmuir Township,\nPorcupine Mining Division, Ontario. The claims are 100% owned by Starfire\nMinerals Inc. subject to a 2% net smelter royalty held by the vendors of the\nproperty. Surface rights are attached to all the claims.\nThe Langmuir Property is located about 25km southeast of Timmins, Ontario\nin the central part of Langmuir Township, Ontario. Vehicular access to the\nproperty is by forestry roads extending southeast from South Porcupine\n(Timmins) to the past producing Langmuir No. 2 Mine Site. From this point, a\nnetwork of roads and trails provides easy access to all parts of the property.\nThe bedrock geology of the property is dominated by komatiite flows\nintercalated with tholeiitic basalts of the basal Tisdale Assemblage.\nUnderlying Deloro Assemblage rocks, exposed in the axial regions of anticlinal\nstructures, consist of calc-alkaline felsic to intermediate volcanic rocks\nwith discontinuous sulphidic / graphitic iron formation and chert.\nThe Langmuir No. 2 Mine ore deposits are classic examples of Type I\nkomatiite related deposits with associated Type II net textured sulphide\nmineralization in the overlying komatiitic flows and Type V vein type\nmineralization in the footwall rocks. The Langmuir No. 2 Mine is located about\n500m north of Starfire's property.\nType I mineralization is characterized by thin sinuous layers of massive\nsulphides (less than 20% gangue minerals) overlain by thicker layers of net-\ntextures sulphides (20-60% gangue minerals) and generally less than 5 million\ntonnes and contain between 2 and 5% Ni plus credits for Cu, Co, Au and PGE's.\nAbout 75-90% of the economic mineralization typically occurs as massive\nsulphide mineralization at the base of komatiite lava channels and the balance\nis related to net-textured sulphide mineralization and vein-like sulphides...
