     Massive Sulphide Mineralization Encountered in West Zone Extension

     TORONTO, Nov. 10 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU / OTCBB:
SRFDF) today announced additional drill results from the Company's exploration
program at Ferguson Lake, Nunavut. The Company also announced its 2008
drilling program concluded on November 3, 2008.
     During the 2008 drilling season, 45 Diamond drill holes were completed,
for a total of 19,092 metres drilled. The focus of this year's drill program
was to upgrade additional resources to an indicated status, and to further
define the low sulphide, high grade PGE mineralization in the West Zone.
     "I'm pleased with the progress made during the 2008 drill program. Infill
drilling in the West Zone continues to identify high-quality massive sulphide
mineralization," said Ray Irwin, Vice President of Exploration. "The
low-sulphide high-grade PGM horizons have also intersected several of the
holes. Since the PGMs have not yet been incorporated in the resource model, I
look forward to creating a model to determine if the intercepts show
sufficient continuity to develop a resource."
     Previous drilling on the West Zone Extension, which is believed to
represent the down plunge western continuation of the West Zone, indicates
that, locally, the massive sulphide lenses are considerably thicker than those
present in the eastern half of the West Zone. To further evaluate this deeper
mineralization, two holes (FL08-407 and FL08-410), totaling 2,005 metres, were
completed during the 2008 drill program. As in some of the previous drilling,
FL08-407 encountered massive sulphide mineralization, with an intersection of
25.5 metres grading 0.63% nickel, 1.18% copper, 0.08% cobalt, 2.00 g/t
palladium, and 0.42 g/t platinum. Although FL08-410 did not encounter a thick
zone of massive sulphides, broad intervals of disseminated, veinlet and
submassive sulphides were encountered, all of which potentially indicate the
mineralization is offset in this area due to faulting. Additional drilling for
this target is warranted and planned in the future.
     Of the 45 holes completed during the 2008 drilling program, assays for
the first 10 holes were announced in a news release dated August 27, 2008, and
assays for an additional nine holes were released on September 18, 2008. The
following tables provide assay results received for an additional 13 holes
drilled during the 2008 exploration program. The intervals listed are drill
core lengths and do not necessarily depict true width.

     "The nickel/copper/cobalt deposit continues to substantiate a major
resource," said Andr� J. Douchane, President and CEO. "I was particularly
impressed with the 25 metre intercept in the West Zone Extension, and even
though we don't know its true width, it represents a potentially large vein
with good grades."
     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 the facilities of
Acme Analytical Laboratory Ltd. in Yellowknife and shipped to Acme's
laboratory in Vancouver for analysis. Check assays were performed by SGS
