TSXV: SFR

VANCOUVER, March 4 /CNW/ - Starfire Minerals Inc. ("the Company") announces that it has reduced its property holdings in Quebec and Ontario. In each case it was concluded that the exploration results do not warrant further expenditures by the Company.

In Quebec, the Company has elected not meet the option payment schedules regarding the Capri, Cross Structure, and Otish Mountain uranium properties, resulting in termination of the agreements.

Capri - Under the now-terminated option, the Company could have earned a 100% interest in the Capri property subject to a 2% NSR royalty by making payments of $250,000, issuing 2,100,000 shares of the Company, and completing $1,225,000 of exploration expenditures.

Cross Structure - Under the now-terminated option, the Company could have earned a 100% interest in the Cross Structure property subject to a 2% NSR royalty by making payments of $90,000, issuing 700,000 shares of the Company, and completing $600,000 of exploration expenditures.

Otish Mountains - Under the now-terminated option, the Company could have earned a 100% interest in the Cross Structure property subject to a 2% NSR royalty by making payments of $92,000, issuing 600,000 shares of the Company, and completing $150,000 of exploration expenditures.

In Ontario, the Company has allowed the 100%-owned (subject to a 1% NSR royalty) Stobie Lake uranium property (Grigg and Stobie Townships) and the 100%-owned Black Township volcanogenic massive sulphide property to lapse.

The Company is in the process of attracting a partner to continue exploration of its highly prospective Porphyry Pearl copper-gold property in the Toodoggone District of British Columbia (see news release of November 23, 2009). The Company also continues to evaluate its nickel properties (Langmuir, Shaw, Carman, and Eldorado Townships) in the Timmins District, Ontario.
