VANCOUVER, Sept. 14, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Phase One 2005 delineation drilling assay highlights for platinum and palladium for eight holes are reported in Table I and Table II. The gabbro-hosted footwall Platinum Group Elements (PGE's) were intersected in an enriched low-sulphide horizon (summarized in Table I) and/or in sulphide lens intercepts (summarized in Table II) lower in the gabbro-host rocks in the "Pit Area" of the West Zone. Complete base and precious metal footwall results and locations for 2005 drill holes 05-215 to 05-222 are presented in an Appendix to this News Release and are also available for viewing at http://www.starfieldres.com/news.htm.

Of particular interest in Table I are the low-sulphide platinum (Pt) enriched concentrations encountered in the 1.62 meter footwall intercept in hole 05-216 and in the 1.00 meter intercept encountered in hole 05-218, namely 7.88g/t Pt and 8.42 g/t Pt, respectively. In hole 05-218, the bonanza grade one-meter intercept grading 20.8 g/t platinum plus palladium (2PGE) is included within a 7 meter wide low-sulphide intercept which grades 5.86 g/t.

(a) 2PGE=Pt+Pd
Footwall PGE-enriched sulphide lens intercepts are encountered beneath low-sulphide PGE-mineralization deeper in the gabbro host rock in holes 05-215, 05-219, 05-220 and 05-222.
Hosted in gabbro, low-sulphide PGE mineralization is generally found 30 to 50 meters below the base of the m ain massive sulphide lens(es) and is characterized by variable concentrations and ratios of platinum and palladium. To date in the "Pit Area" of the West Zone, drilling at variable spacing along a strike length of approximately one kilometer has shown the presence of footwall PGE mineralization which may contain intermittent low-sulphide bonanza grades of 2 PGE's and/or deeper footwall sulphide lens mineralization. Geostatistical analyses of the drill pattern and mineralization is in progress.
True thicknesses of the drill intercepts are not defined at this time. Details concerning drill core sampling, sample preparation, accredited laboratory geochemical and assay analytical methods, QC and QA procedures can be referred to in detail in Press Release # SRU-07-04, June 10, 2004, page 3.
