VVANCOUVER, Jan. 3 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce the continuation of its drilling program on its 100% owned Langmuir property near Timmins Ontario. The Company recently intersected a high grade nickel mineralization as result of its most recent drilling program completed during December 2006. (For further details please refer to the Company's news release of January 2, 2007.)
The South Zone on the Langmuir property was discovered in the late 1970's by the INCO-Noranda joint venture that operated the Langmuir No. 2 deposit. In 1989, Timmins Nickel Ltd. drilled 4 holes into the South Zone confirming the down plunge and strike extension of the deposit.
Starfire will be continuing line cutting and boundary surveying, down hole geophysical surveys and an additional 10,000 metres of sectional diamond drilling. This work will lead into a resource estimate for the zone. This program will commence in late January 2007 and continue throughout the year. The preliminary budget for this program is $750,000.
Starfire's Qualified Person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and project geologist for this property is Mr. Gerald Harron, P. Eng. of Toronto, Ontario.
ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
