VANCOUVER, Nov. 16 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: SRU and
OTC BB: SRFDF) today provides an update on its ongoing development and
exploration program at its 100% owned Ferguson Lake Project.

Project Development and Assessment

To date, the company has completed 355 diamond drill holes on the
property, including 110 holes during 2006. Three diamond drills were active on
the property during 2006 and one diamond drill is currently completing the
remaining 6 holes of the 116 holes planned for the 2006 program. The focus of
this year's drill program has been delineation drilling in the "Potential Pit
Area" and other selected parts of the 4.2 kilometre long West Zone where
previous work has identified 8.7 Million tonnes of indicated resources and an
additional 53.2 Million tonnes of inferred resources at a 1% Cu+Ni cutoff
grade (Dr. N.C. Carter, May 15, 2006). Eight kilometres of continuous
geophysical conductors have been outlined on the West Zone with only
4.2 kilometres continuously drilled.
Glen Indra, President & CEO of Starfield, commented "Starfield's
development program at its Ferguson Lake Project is at an important transition
point. Our focus has been to upgrade the current inferred resources to
indicated and measured resources. The next stage will be to increase the
global resources of the project as a basis for economic assessment studies.
Major magmatic Nickel-Copper Platinum Group Metal (Ni-Cu-PGM) deposits the
size of Ferguson Lake are rare and difficult to find globally."
Drilling in 2006 consisted of 24,000 metres, with over 5400 one-metre
core samples being submitted for analyses and assay. The results will be
compiled, integrated with previous drill results, and released with updated
property wide, NI 43-101, resource estimates during 2007. The geological and
resource models being developed will form the basis of an assessment of the
Ferguson Lake Property. Starfield is currently advancing its
hydrometallurgical testing program, and has contracted SGS Mineral Services
(Lakefield) to conduct metallurgical test work and characterization of samples
from three separate areas of the 4.2 kilometre West Zone sulphide
mineralization. The project includes grindability testing,
flotation-concentrate production, and PLATSOL process evaluation of
'hydrometallurgically-produced' concentrate. It is anticipated that both
programs will provide recovery data, for base and precious metals, to be
utilized in an economic assessment.
Having received the required permit approvals from the Nunavut
Government, the Company continues to move forward in advancing the property.
Included in this season's estimated $15 million development and exploration
expenditures, a new, all-season, base camp and related facilities was built
near the West Zone. During 2006, the mineral claims hosting the Ferguson Lake
sulphide resources, the new base camp, and the proposed airstrip have been
surveyed in preparation for application of a Mining Lease covering this part
of the property. Project planning and surveying, water quality baseline
sampling, soil and botany surveys and archaeological investigations in
preparation for future operational, environment and permitting assessments
have been completed by Rescan Environmental Services Ltd.
The company has initiated a program of government and community awareness
in Nunavut and Manitoba.

Exploration Update

Dr. Al Miller, mineral deposits consultant to the company, conducted
geological investigations furthering his observations and interpretation of
the Ferguson Lake Igneous Complex (FLIC) developed during the 2005 exploration
season. Geological mapping, in conjunction with recent geophysical
interpretation on the west side of Ferguson Lake, indicates that the layered
igneous complex is canoe-shaped with inward dipping limbs. Dr. Miller stated
that "the southwestern limb of the complex is a layered intrusion
(meta-hornblendite and meta-gabbro) extending at surface from the South
Discovery Zone to the West Zone South over a distance of 6.8 kilometres. This
newly mapped exposure hosts Nickel-Copper-PGM bearing gossans and brecciated
massive sulphide mineralization which are coincident with airborne magnetic
and VTEM anomalies." Starfield has tested this southwestern limb trend with
only a few shallow holes. More detailed ground geophysics is warranted, as
over 300 drill holes have defined the northern limb resources (which gives
similar geophysical responses).
Dr. Miller also identified aerially extensive gabbro-anorthosite plutons
on both sides of Ferguson Lake, and has discovered disseminated base metal
sulphide mineralization with anomalous PGM values hosted by anorthositic
gabbro on the east side of Ferguson Lake. This setting is similar to PGM
mineralization hosted in layered complexes in Finland. The FLIC is now
considered to be approximately 20 kilometres by 4.5 kilometres in size, which
is comparable to other important igneous complexes around the world that host
magmatic Ni-Cu-PGM deposits. Dr. Miller's igneous petrology-metallogeny study
report is scheduled for submission to Starfield by year end.
In addition to the ongoing diamond drill program, exploration crews
completed detailed follow-up and reconnaissance scale geological mapping,
prospecting/rock sampling, and till sampling. This program focused on priority
targets and target areas identified in property scale airborne magnetic-VTEM
geophysical surveys and in rock and till surveys completed during 2005. A
total of 138 rock samples from outcrop have been submitted for assay and
infill till sampling resulted in another 781 samples being collected. New
mineralized outcrops have been discovered during the 2006 exploration program,
and anomalous base metal and palladium till target patterns were further
confirmed in this year's regional program.
Dr. Sally Goodman, SRK Consulting, evaluated the structural setting and
characteristics of the West Zone mineralization. She concluded that the FLIC
mineralization is hosted within a major ductile fault zone within Archean
basement. Based upon her analyses and recommendations, fault zone geometry
reconstruction has been implemented to guide geological, geotechnical, and
future mine planning studies.

About Starfield

Starfield Resources Inc. is an advanced exploration and development
company focused on its Ferguson Lake Copper-Nickel-Cobalt-Palladium-Platinum
property located in Nunavut, Canada. The Ferguson Lake property covers more
than 1.3 million acres and is 100% owned by the Company. Since 1999, Starfield
has completed 132,000 metres of diamond drilling in 355 holes. A NI 43-101
technical report dated May 15, 2006 by N.C. Carter PhD., P.Eng. was filed on
SEDAR and on the Starfield website on May 25, 2006. A developing feature of
this mineral district is the significant discovery of high grade platinum and
palladium mineralization found in the footwall to the massive sulphide
deposit. Starfield's Ferguson Lake Project is unfolding as Nunavut's largest
ongoing base and precious metal project.
