Starfire Announces Mobilization of Porphyry Pearl Drill Program and Provides Update of Langmuir Nickel Project

TSXV: SFR

VANCOUVER, July 7 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals is pleased to announce that it has engaged On Track Exploration Ltd. to manage its 2008 diamond drill program at the Company's Porphyry Pearl copper-gold porphyry property in the Toodoggone District, British Columbia. DMAC Drilling Ltd. of Langley, BC has been awarded the 4,300-meter drill contract. Mobilization of equipment and personnel is underway, and the program will commence in early July.

The 2008 drill campaign will expand on the intersections in holes PP-07-05 and PP-07-06 announced in the Company's news release of November 26, 2007. Hole PP-07-06 will be re-entered and completed as it was prematurely terminated by the onset of winter conditions on September 29, 2007. As reported in the release, hole PP-06-07 averages 0.383 grams of gold per tonne over its entire core length, including 31 meters from 123 to 154 meters averaging 1.039 grams of gold per tonne. The hole bottomed in mineralized material (0.281 grams gold per tonne) at 166.12 meters. The deepening of hole PP-07-06 will be followed by step-out holes.

The Company has also completed a diamond drill program on its Langmuir South nickel property near Timmins, Ontario. The program was a follow-up to horizontal loop electromagnetic and magnetic surveys that completed coverage of the property. The purpose was to determine if there are shallow targets that should be tested before resuming step-out on the down-plunge extension of the Langmuir South zone that is indicated by the intersection of 3.66% Ni over core length of 6.65 meters in hole EL06-03. Between September 2007 and June 2008, the Company completed 1,193 meters of drilling in 12 shallow holes to test the EM and magnetic targets resulting from the survey. While no "ore-grade" intervals were drilled, a significant anomalous intersection in hole EL-08-18 of 0.24% Ni over a core length of 34 meters in komatiites near the intersection of 3.51% Ni over core length of 1.5 meters in hole EL-07-06 suggests that a second zone lies to the north of the South Zone. Further compilation of the results of the program in the context of historic drilling is in progress to design an appropriate drill program to effectively test this target in addition to the down-plunge extension of the South zone.

Starfire's Qualified Person as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 is Philip J. Rush, P.Geo. who prepared this release.
