Starfield Resources Discovers Diamond At Ferguson Lake

     /NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
     THE U.S./

     Nearby Sample Found To Contain Diamond-Indicator Garnet Grains

     TORONTO, Dec. 10, 2008 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU/OTCBB:
SRFDF) today announced the discovery of a diamond in a till sample taken from
an area located near the center of the Company's claim block in Nunavut,
Canada.
     Starfield holds 264 claims totaling 1.3 million acres in this claim
block. Geophysics had previously identified this area as highly prospective
for diamonds.
     During the 2005 and 2006 field programs, Starfield's exploration staff
collected 1,100 widely spaced till samples from the Ferguson Lake claims. The
samples remained in secure storage at the project until, as part of the 2008
exploration program, they were sieved and shipped for processing and
mineralogical study.
     Although preliminary mineralogical studies have been completed on only
approximately 12% of the samples, encouraging results have been obtained in
two of the samples. Sample TDS5-125 contained a significant number of
indicator garnet grains, while sample TDS5-126 contained a small diamond
consistent with the screen size.
     "I am pleased and excited with these preliminary results," said Ray
Irwin, Vice President Exploration. "They indicate the Ferguson Lake Project,
which is known for its high-grade copper-nickel-cobalt-platinum group massive
sulphide mineralization, has significant exploration potential for other
commodities including diamonds."
     "It is rare to find an actual diamond in a till sample," added Andr�
Douchane, President and CEO. "We absolutely need to follow up on this
discovery."
     SGS Mineral Services has confirmed the results obtained in both of these
samples are not due to contamination. Although mineralogical studies on most
of the till samples are yet to be completed, the results of these two samples
are potentially significant for the following reasons:

     -  The size of the diamond is consistent with the size fraction (-35 to
        +60 microns) being processed.

     -  The picking lab had no microdiamond samples in it, and the preceding
        sample contained a significant number of indicator grains.

     -  The chemistry of the till sample, with its higher magnesium and
        chromium values, suggest there may be kimberlite debris present.

     -  There were no striations on the diamond and the crystal was not
        broken, which suggests proximity to a nearby source.

     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. Remaining till samples are not
expected to be completely received until March 2009 and a detailed report will
be completed shortly thereafter.
     In addition, the Company expects to receive the remaining assays on its
2008 drilling program at Ferguson Lake by the end of 2008.
