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

TORONTO, Jan. 13, 2012 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX: SRU)("Starfield", "the Company")  today announced that its financial results for the first nine months ended November 30, 2011 have been filed on SEDAR.

For the nine months ended November 30, 2011, Starfield incurred costs for exploration totaling $5.2 million. The expenditures were directed toward this year's exploration drilling program at its Ferguson Lake and Stillwater properties, advancement of the Hydromet project, and property maintenance. The drilling programs were completed in September 2011. On November 10, 2011, the Company announced that assay results from this year's exploration drilling program at Ferguson Lake confirmed and better defined the massive sulphide mineralization in a portion of the West Zone, and extended the deep massive sulphide mineralization comprising the 119 Zone Extension southwestward by 350 meters. In late December 2011, the Company received a draft updated scoping study for its Ferguson Lake property. The technical committee and management team are reviewing this document. The Company is still awaiting full assay results from this year's drill program at its Stillwater property in Montana.

As part of its implementation of IFRS reporting standards and consistent with its existing reporting under U.S. accounting principles, the Company has adopted an accounting policy to expense existing exploration expenditures until such time as proven and probable reserves are established. Administrative expenditures amounted to $1.1 million for the nine months ended November 30, 2011.

During the nine months ended November 30, 2011 Starfield raised $5.2 million through private placements, and at November 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $1.4 million of cash on hand.

On January 12, 2012 the board of directors granted to directors, officers and key consultants of the Company 13,500,000 stock options exercisable at $0.03 for a period of five years to January 12, 2017.  The grant represents less than 2% of the outstanding share capital of the Company and the total outstanding stock options issued under the plan continues to be less than 5% of the outstanding share capital. The directors of the Company have also agreed to waive cash compensation for their retainer effective immediately.

The Company is continuing to review strategic alternatives for the Company and its assets.

The interim unaudited financial statements, management's discussion and analysis and additional information are available on the Company's website and on SEDAR.
