TORONTO, July 20, 2011 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU) ("Starfield", "the Company") today announced it has
commenced the previously announced drilling of the West Zone extension
at Ferguson Lake, Nunavut and expects to continue this work until early
September 2011.


The Company also announced that, due to weather conditions, it has not
been able to commence drilling at its Stillwater, Montana property. The
plan is to focus the initial drilling on the volatile enriched zone
(VEZ) PGE target, and as a second priority the PGE target referred to
as the Crescent Creek dunite pipe, which is located south of the Janet
50 area of the VEZ. Drilling is expected to begin next week.


Roscoe Postle Associates ("RPA") continues to work on an update to the
2008 Ferguson Lake Scoping Study. At this time, it is uncertain when
the work will be completed and the full report made available.


"We are excited to finally be drilling our Stillwater PGM property and
to be able to drill for the west extension of the Ferguson Lake massive
sulphides," said Andre Douchane, President and CEO.


SGS Canada Inc. continues to make excellent progress toward pilot plant
testing of Starfield's hydromet process on massive sulphides from
Ferguson Lake. Starfield will begin shipping a 9,000 pound sample to
the SGS testing facility at Lakefield, Ontario this month for this
purpose.


DRA Americas Inc. has commenced work to update the 43-101 study on
Starfield's chrome assets in Montana. This work is expected to be
completed in the fall.
