Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended August 31, 2012
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
Starfield Resources Inc. (“Starfield” or “the Company”) was incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Alberta, Canada). The Company’s major business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties in North America. The Company is listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange with its corporate office at 120 Adelaide Street West, Suite 900, Toronto, Canada M5H 1T1. The Company has the following non-producing interests:
• | the Ferguson Lake Property, a nickel-copper-platinum-palladium-cobalt property located in Nunavut, Canada; |
• | the Stillwater Project, a nickel-copper-cobalt property located in Montana, USA, adjacent to the Stillwater Platinum Mine; |
• | the Superior Project, a copper-silver property located in California, and |
• | one Nevada gold property. |
1. Going Concern
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.
The going concern basis of presentation contemplates that the Company will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has flow through share expenditures commitments totaling $3,789 which is required to be spent on qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEE”) prior to December 31, 2012. The Company has working capital of $1,444 to fund a portion of the above noted CEE and is therefore required to raise additional cash flows to be able to meet the flow-through requirements by December 31, 2012. To the extent that the Company does not meet the CEE expenditure requirement prior to December, 31, 2012, the Company will be subject to the provision of the Flow-Through Subscription Agreement in which the flow-through common shares were issued, resulting in a contractual obligation to the Company of approximately $2,100. Assuming that the Company does not complete the CEE prior to December 31, 2012, this will result in the Company have a pro forma working capital deficiency of approximately $700 after reflecting the associated flow-through agreement contractual obligation, but not including the effect of the costs of ongoing operation. The Company currently has no sources of cash inflows, other than equity (non flow-through and flow-through) financings or the disposal of mineral property interests. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on the ability of the Company to raise sufficient equity financing or through the disposal of certain of its mineral property interests. There are no assurances that the Company will be successful in achieving this goal and as a result there is substantial doubt regarding the applicability of the going concern assumption.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not give effect to adjustments that would be necessary to the carrying values and classification of assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
The business of mining and exploring for minerals involves a high degree of risk and there can be no assurance that current exploration programs will result in profitable mining operations. The recoverability of the carrying value of exploration properties is dependent upon the discovery of economically recoverable reserves, the ability of the Company to raise financing, the achievement of profitable operations or, alternatively, upon the Company’s ability to dispose of its interests on an advantageous basis. Changes in future conditions could require material write-downs of the carrying values of mining assets. Some of the Company’s mining assets are located outside of Canada and are subject to the risk of foreign investment, including currency exchange fluctuations.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements
For the six months ended August 31, 2012
(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
a) Ferguson Lake Property
The Company owns a 100% undivided interest in the Ferguson Lake nickel-copper-platinum-palladium-cobalt property, subject to a 3% net smelter royalty (“NSR”) on mineral production, a 3% gross overriding royalty on diamond production and a $50 annual advance NSR payment. The Company has the right to purchase 1% of the 3% NSR for $1,000 up to 180 days after receipt of a positive feasibility study recommending commercial production.
On October 5, 2009, the Company signed a joint venture agreement with Thanda Resources Inc. (“Thanda”) to develop the Company’s previously identified diamond potential at the Ferguson Lake Property in Nunavut. The agreement gives Thanda the right to earn an initial 50% participating interest in a joint venture (that will focus on the exploration and development of the diamond potential at the Ferguson Lake property) by incurring cumulative exploration expenses of $6.5 million over a three year period. These expenditures must be incurred as follows:
Months 1 - 15 | | $2.0 million |
Months 16 - 24 | | $2.5 million |
Months 25 - 30 | | $2.0 million |
After the initial $6.5 million investment, Thanda may choose to commence a prefeasibility study. Upon completion of a prefeasibility study, the Company may choose to either retain a 30% interest in the project by paying its pro-rata share of the costs of the prefeasibility study and future development, or convert to a 3% gross revenue royalty.
It is Management’s opinion that Thanda did not incur the minimum required expenditures of $2 million during the first 15 months of the agreement. Thanda has exercised its rights under the agreement to enter into a dispute resolution mechanism regarding the joint venture.
b) Stillwater Project
The Company holds the Stillwater Project consisting of the Basal Zone Lease Agreement and the Mountain View Lease Agreement in Montana, USA.
The Basal Zone Lease Agreement leases the Company mineral claims for 10 years expiring January 1, 2014. The Company is required to make payments of US$2 per month until the end of the lease. Under the Basal Zone Lease Agreement, a 2% production royalty is payable by the Company on the sales of ore and concentrate; a 2% NSR applies if the ore/concentrate is sold to a mill, smelter or refinery or 2% of net income applies if the ore/concentrate is not sold to a mill, smelter or refinery. If there is a federal royalty imposed on any sales, then 50% of such federal royalty will be offset against the production royalty payable by the Company.
The Mountain View Lease Agreement leases the Company mineral claims for 10 years expiring February 1, 2014. If the Company wishes to extend the primary term of the lease, then the Company must pay US$50. Upon the commencement of construction of a mine, the Company must pay a US$500 advance royalty, 50% of which will be credited against future production royalties. A 2% production royalty is payable by the Company on the sale of ore and concentrate, and a 2% NSR applies if the ore/concentrate is sold to a mill, smelter or refinery or 2% of net income applies if the ore/concentrate is not sold to a mill, smelter or refinery.
On May 7, 2012, the Company sold 179 mining claims in its Stillwater property to Stillwater Mining Company for US$ 2.0 million.
On May 7, 2012, the Company relinquished its long term holding on the Benbow chromite mining leases.

(in thousands of Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted)
c) Superior Project
The Superior Project is comprised of the Teagan Claims and the California-Engels Claims.
Teagan Claims
The Company holds a 100% interest in certain claims, located in Plumas County, California, U.S.A. These claims are subject to the terms of the exploration agreement with California-Engels Mining Company.
California-Engels Claims
In 2006, the Company entered into an exploration agreement, which contained an option to lease and purchase the underlying properties, enabling the Company to explore and purchase patented and fee lands that are located near the Company’s Superior Project, subject to a 2% NSR that is capped at US$25000. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company is required to make annual payments of US$20.
The Company is also required to issue 139,200 common shares upon completion of a bankable feasibility study and upon construction of a mill. The Company may purchase the property at any time for US$10,000 or by issuing 696,000 common shares and paying an annual US$60 advance royalty.
d) Nevada Projects
The Nevada projects consisted of the Dome Hill and Stealth properties. The Company continues to hold the Dome Hill property which straddles the Nevada-California border. In May 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement with a US gold company whereby they have the option to purchase the Dome Hill property over a three year period for a nominal amount. The Stealth property third party lease was terminated in August 2011, and the Company decided to allow these claims to lapse.
As the Company has determined that it no longer intends to pursue its interest in the Nevada projects, all accumulated costs have been written-off as at August 31, 2012.

8. Commitments
Flow-through shares
The Company has flow through share expenditures commitments totaling $3,789 which is required to be spent on qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEE”) prior to December 31, 2012. The Company has working capital of $1,444 to fund a portion of the above noted CEE and is therefore required to raise additional cash flows to be able to meet the flow-through requirements by December 31, 2012. To the extent that the Company does not meet the CEE expenditure requirement prior to December, 31, 2012, the Company will be subject to the provision of the Flow-Through Subscription Agreement in which the flow-through common shares were issued, resulting in a contractual obligation to the Company of approximately $2,100. Assuming that the Company does not complete the CEE prior to December 31, 2012, this will result in the Company have a pro forma working capital deficiency of approximately $700 after reflecting the associated flow-through agreement contractual obligation, but not including the effect of the costs of ongoing operation. The Company currently has no sources of cash inflows, other than equity (non flow-through and flow-through) financings or the disposal of mineral property interests.

10. Capital Management
The Company considers its capital structure to consist of shareholder’s equity, which amounted to $15,689 (August 31, 2011 - $19,338). The Company manages its capital structure and makes adjustments to it, based on the funds available to the Company, in order to support the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties. The board of directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company's management to sustain future development of the business.
The properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage; as such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and development, and pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital, and will try to raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties, from time to time, and to acquire an interest in additional properties if it considers there to be sufficient geologic or economic potential, and if it has adequate financial resources to do so. Management reviews the capital management approach on an ongoing basis and believes that this approach, given the relative size of the Company, is reasonable.

11. Financial Risk Factors
The Company's risk exposures and the impact on the Company's financial instruments are summarized below:
Credit risk
The Company's credit risk is primarily attributable to cash and amounts receivable. The Company has no significant concentration of credit risk arising from operations. Cash is classified as cash equivalents and consist of overnight deposits, which have been invested with reputable financial institutions, from which management believes the risk of loss to be remote. Financial instruments included in amounts receivable consist of harmonized sales tax due from the Federal Government of Canada. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in accounts receivable is remote.
Liquidity risk
The Company's approach to managing liquidity risk is to manage its ability to have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due (refer to Note 1). As at August 31, 2012, the Company had a cash balance of $1,744 (February 29, 2012 - $1,061) to settle current liabilities of $743 (February 29, 2012 - $1,031). All of the Company's financial liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.
The Company has flow through share expenditures commitments totaling $3,789 which is required to be spent on qualifying Canadian Exploration Expenditures (“CEE”) prior to December 31, 2012. The Company has working capital of $1,444 to fund a portion of the above noted CEE and is therefore required to raise additional cash flows to be able to meet the flow-through requirements by December 31, 2012. To the extent that the Company does not meet the CEE expenditure requirement prior to December, 31, 2012, the Company will be subject to the provision of the Flow-Through Subscription Agreement in which the flow-through common shares were issued, resulting in a contractual obligation to the Company of approximately $2,100. Assuming that the Company does not complete the CEE prior to December 31, 2012, this will result in the Company have a pro forma working capital deficiency of approximately $700 after reflecting the associated flow-through agreement contractual obligation, but not including the effect of the costs of ongoing operation. The Company currently has no sources of cash inflows, other than equity (non flow-through and flow-through) financings or the disposal of mineral property interests.
Market risk
The Company has cash balances and no interest-bearing debt. The Company's current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the credit ratings of its banks.
The Company's functional currency is the Canadian dollar and major purchases are transacted in Canadian dollars. From time to time, the Company funds certain operations, exploration and administrative expenses in US dollars on a cash call basis using US dollar currency converted from its Canadian dollar bank accounts held in Canada. Management believes the foreign exchange risk derived
from currency conversions is not significant and therefore does not hedge its foreign exchange risk. There is no foreign currency risk associated with deferred income tax as the Company has no liability.
The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Changes in commodity prices will impact the economics of development of the Company’s mineral properties. The Company closely monitors commodity prices to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Sensitivity analysis
As at August 31, 2012, the carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate their fair values due to their short term nature.
The Company does not hold significant balances in foreign currencies to give rise to exposure to foreign exchange risk.
