Starfield Resources Announces Final Core Assay Results From 2008 Exploration Program

     Native Gold Discovered in Till Sample TDS6-084,
     Intervals Grading up to 0.76 g/t Au at Y Lake Trend, and
     Interval Assaying 9.27 g/t Pt at Ferguson Lake West Zone

     TORONTO, March 2, 2009 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU/OTCBB:
SRFDF) today announced assay results from the final core samples obtained from
holes drilled during the 2008 exploration program at the Company's Ferguson
Lake project in Nunavut.
     "The 2008 drilling and exploration season was very successful," said
Andr� Douchane, President and CEO. "Based on the 2008 results, we believe that
the resource study currently underway will allow us to upgrade more of the
inferred resource to an indicated resource. During 2008, we identified more
intercepts in the low-sulphide, high-grade PGM mineralization, which occurs in
the footwall beneath the Ferguson Lake massive sulphide deposit. Of particular
significance is hole FL08-414 which assayed 9.27 g/t platinum. This hole
extends the main area of the high-grade low-sulphide mineralization further
west. This additional information should add to our understanding of the
geology and geometry of this mineralization, and allow us to begin building a
resource model."
     "The exploration effort outside of the Ferguson Lake project was
extremely fruitful," added Mr. Douchane. "Through drilling, we gathered
important information on the Grizzly Trend, the North Zone, and the Y Lake
Trend. Y Lake was particularly productive, returning up to 0.76 g/t of gold.
Additionally, a Diamond was discovered in a till sample, very close to an area
previously identified as highly prospective for diamonds. The entire 2008
exploration effort, which included drilling, area reconnaissance, data review,
processing of till samples, and further chip sampling, allowed us to adjust
our land position to where we can focus on the most favourable areas
surrounding the discoveries."
     Assay results for the final five holes from the 45-hole 2008 drilling
program on the West Zone are detailed in the Table 1. The intervals listed are
drill core lengths and do not necessarily depict true width.

     North Zone

     During the 2008 exploration program, five widely spaced angle holes were
completed in the North Zone, totaling 2,167 metres. The holes intersected
intervals of sub-massive sulphides, as well as veinlet controlled and
disseminated sulphides.

     Y Lake Trend

     Three widely spaced angled core holes, totaling 1,243 metres, were
completed on the Y Lake trend during the 2008 exploration drilling program.
These holes intersected sulphide-bearing intervals that contained
geochemically anomalous copper (up to 681 ppm), nickel (up to 1,475 ppm),
silver (up to 1,130 ppb), gold (up to 0.76 g/t), arsenic (up to 1,005 ppm),
and tellurium (up to 0.55 ppm).

     Grizzly Trend

     One angled hole, totaling 420 metres was completed on the Grizzly Trend
during 2008. This hole intersected several intervals of veinlet controlled and
disseminated sulphides containing anomalous copper (up to 815 ppm), silver (up
to 1,170 ppb) and tellurium (up to 0.34 ppm).
     The elements arsenic and tellurium are commonly associated with gold
mineralization in many gold deposits. Since they occur in higher geochemical
concentrations than gold, they often serve as good indicators, as well as
pathfinders, to gold mineralization. As a result, they may be used to vector
or direct exploration to the part of a hydrothermal system having the highest
exploration potential.
     "This gold potential is supported by the presence of anomalous gold
values obtained locally in outcrops, as well as the recent discovery of
dendritic gold in a grain of quartz found in sample TS6-084, which occurs near
the southwest end of the Y Lake Trend," said Ray Irwin, Vice President of
Exploration. "Based on these encouraging results, additional drilling is
warranted in the Y Lake area to further test the area's gold potential.
     This drilling would reduce the lateral spacing between existing drill
holes, plus examine the target down dip. As well, the encouraging base metal
and silver results obtained in the solitary hole completed on the Grizzly
trend, warrants additional drilling along strike and down dip on this target
to further evaluate its potential."
     Starfield's Diamond drilling, logging and sampling was overseen by Ray
Irwin, BSc, P.Geo, a Qualified Person in accordance with NI 43-101, who has
reviewed this news release. The samples were prepared at Starfield's
facilities at Ferguson Lake under the supervision of SGS personnel and shipped
to SGS Mineral Services in Lakefield, Ontario.
