Starfield Increases Inferred Resource by 20% and Indicated Resource by 19%

Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire) -

- Ferguson Lake Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-Platinum-Palladium Project,
Nunavut, Canada

Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX.V: SRU and OTC BB:SRFDF) today
reported that it has been advised by Dr. N.C. Carter P. Eng., the
Company's independent geological consultant for the Ferguson Lake
Project, that the project's inferred resource has increased to 66.1
million tonnes and its indicated resource to 8.7 million tonnes. A
comprehensive NI 43-101 technical report detailing these revised
mineral resource estimates will be filed on SEDAR within 45 days.

"These increased resources continue to demonstrate that the
geophysical conductor, when drilled, continues to expand the deposit
at Ferguson Lake," said Glen Indra, President & CEO, Starfield
Resources Inc. "The Company's focus for the remainder of 2006 will be
to continue to upgrade the inferred resource to the indicated
category and move the project forward to development."

In discussing only the inferred resource category Dr. Carter
states: "The property wide inferred mineral resource, at a 1.0%
combined copper and nickel cut-off grade, is estimated to contain 1.5
billion pounds of copper, 875 million pounds of nickel, 101 million
pounds of cobalt, 3 million ounces of palladium and 0.5 million
ounces of platinum." Dr. Carter further writes: "Overall average
grades show a slight increase in all cut-off categories while the
most significant increase in tonnage (+34%) is seen for the 2.0%
Cu+Ni cut-off, reflecting additional higher grade material identified
in both West Zone and 119 Zone."

The grades and resources estimates are summarized in the following
table:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

(x) The Company's independent consultant, N.C. Carter, Ph.D.,
P.Eng., has prepared the 2006 revised Mineral Resource estimates
which conform with National Instrument 43-101 requirements and have
been prepared pursuant to "Standards on Mineral Resources and
Reserves" proposed by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve
Definitions and adopted by CIM Council on August 20, 2000 and
published in the CIM Bulletin of October, 2000. The Mineral Resource
estimates were calculated for individual drill hole cross-sections
employing the following parameters: Cut-off Grades - 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%
and 2.5% combined Cu + Ni; Minimum Intersection Width - 2.00 meters.
Area of Influence for Individual Drill Holes (down-dip) - midway
point between drill holes. Area of Influence for Individual
Cross-Sections - midway point between sections. Assumed Specific
Gravity - 4.15. The Inferred and Indicated Mineral Resources are in
situ resources which have not yet demonstrated economic viability.

The foregoing resource estimates incorporate a revised specific
gravity of 4.15 which is slightly less than 10% higher than the
assumed specific gravity of 3.80 used previously. Previous resource
estimates have been adjusted to reflect the revised specific gravity.
Drill holes used in calculating the revised resource estimates were
completed over a 4.4 kilometre strike length extending west from
section 35+67W to 80+00W and including the West Zone "Pit Area", West
Zone "Gap" and 119 Zone. Property-wide, Starfield has drilled 243
holes and has consistently intercepted sulphide mineralization
coincident with geophysical electromagnetic conductors.

About Starfield

Starfield Resources Inc. is an advanced exploration and
development company focused on its Ferguson Lake
Copper-Nickel-Cobalt-Palladium-Platinum property located in Nunavut,
Canada. The Ferguson Lake property covers more than 1.3 million acres
and is 100% owned by the Company. Since 1999, Starfield has completed
more than 100,000 metres of diamond drilling in 243 holes. In
addition to the NI 43-101 technical report which will be filed on
Starfield's SEDAR website within 45 days, the Company expects to
announce the results of geostatistical evaluations and a scoping
study in 2006. A developing feature of this mineral district is the
significant discovery of high grade platinum and palladium
mineralization found in the footwall to the massive sulphide deposit.
Starfield's Ferguson Lake Project is unfolding as Nunavut's largest
ongoing base and precious metal project.
