Starfield Resources Inc. Makes an Assignment in Bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)

TORONTO, July 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX:SRU) ("Starfield" or the "Company") announced today that it is deemed to have made an assignment in bankruptcy, effective at the close of business on June 28, 2013, for failure to file a proposal before the time for doing so has passed pursuant to the provisions of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA"). The Company also announced that all of the directors of the Company and its subsidiaries have resigned effective as at the close of business on June 28, 2013.

As previously announced, Starfield filed a notice of intention to make a proposal ("Notice of Intention") pursuant to the provisions of Part III of the BIA. Pursuant to the Notice of Intention, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. ("PWC") was appointed as the trustee ("Proposal Trustee") in the Company's proposal proceedings. Pursuant to an order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List), the time for the Company to file a proposal expired at the end of the day on June 28, 2013.

The Company completed a sale of substantially all of its assets related to its Ferguson Lake project earlier last month. In consultation with the Proposal Trustee, the Company determined that it would not be able to put forward a viable proposal and would not be filing a proposal by the deadline. As a result, Starfield is deemed to have made an assignment in bankruptcy at the end of the day on June 28, 2013, and PWC will be the trustee in bankruptcy of the Company.

The Company's subsidiary, Nevoro Copper Inc., also completed a sale of substantially all of its assets related to its Superior project outside of the proposal proceedings earlier last month.
