Starfield Resources Inc. Files a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada)

TORONTO, March 7, 2013 - Starfield Resources Inc. (TSX:SRU) ("Starfield", the "Company") today announced that, with the authorization and approval of its board of directors, Starfield has filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal ("Notice of Intention") pursuant to the provisions of Part III of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) (the "BIA").

Pursuant to the Notice of Intention, PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. ("PWC") has been appointed as the trustee in the Company's proposal proceedings (the "Proposal Trustee") and in that capacity will monitor and assist the Company in its restructuring efforts.

As previously announced, PWC has been engaged by Starfield since November 2012 to assist management and the board of directors of Starfield in assessing Starfield's strategic options. In that capacity PWC has been working with the Company to solicit proposals for an investment in the Company or an acquisition of the Company or its assets.

The Company intends to continue that sale or investment solicitation process ("SISP") and expects to bring an application to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in the near future seeking, among other relief, authorization to continue the SISP on a defined timeline.

The filing of the Notice of Intention has the effect of imposing an automatic stay of proceedings that will protect the Company and its assets from the claims of creditors and others while the Company pursues its restructuring efforts.

There can be no guarantee that the Company will be successful in its restructuring efforts. Failure by the Company to achieve its restructuring goals will likely result in the Company becoming bankrupt.

All inquiries regarding the BIA proceedings should be directed to the Proposal Trustee at 416-687-8080. Court materials and other information about the BIA proceedings will be available on the Proposal Trustee's website at www.pwc.com/car-starfield.
