TORONTO, May 1 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU / OTCBB: SRFDF) today announced that the complete preliminary assessment ("scoping study") report of its Ferguson Lake project has been filed to SEDAR.
A summary of the scoping study was disclosed in the March 20, 2008 news release and conference call. The complete report is also available on the Company's website at www.starfieldres.com.
The Company also announced that Phase 1 of the 2008 PGE exploration program is underway with the first assay results expected in late July. Phase 1 provides for drilling 15,000 metres into the low sulphide, high grade PGE Zone to further define the mineralization in the high PGE Zone, and drilling in the West Zone to upgrade more resources to indicated status and explore for low sulphide, high grade PGE mineralization.
"We have a very aggressive drill program planned for the summer and we look forward to reporting the results as they become available," said Andre Douchane, President and CEO. "In addition to the PGE drill program, we also intend to conduct a grassroots surface exploration program to examine the kimberlite and gold potential of our active claims surrounding the Ferguson Lake project."
