TORONTO, Jan. 29, 2013 - Starfield Resources Inc. ("Starfield" or the "Company") (TSX: SRU) today announced the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") has informed the Company that it is reviewing the eligibility for continued listing of Starfield's common shares on the TSX.
The Company is being reviewed under the TSX's Remedial Review Process and has been granted 60 days to comply with all requirements for continued listing. If the Company is unable to demonstrate on or before March 21, 2013 that it meets all TSX requirements for continued listing, the Company's securities will be delisted 30 days from such date.
At this time, Starfield intends to defend its listing and is working with the TSX to address the deficiencies in meeting ongoing listing requirements and will concurrently review listing requirements on the TSX Venture Exchange or NEX.
