    /NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN
    THE U.S./
    

TORONTO , Oct. 19, 2009 /CNW/ - Starfield Resources Inc. ("Starfield") (TSX: SRU / OTCBB: SRFDF) and Nevoro Inc. ("Nevoro") (TSX: NVR) announced on October 8, 2009 the closing of the arrangement transaction (the "Arrangement") pursuant to which Starfield acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Nevoro in consideration of 0.87 for one Starfield common share for each common share of Nevoro.

In accordance with the terms of the Arrangement, holders of all outstanding options and share purchase warrants of Nevoro ("Nevoro Options" and "Nevoro Warrants", respectively) are entitled to receive replacement options and warrants, respectively ("Replacement Securities"), to purchase common shares of Starfield ("Starfield Shares") and Starfield has assumed the obligations of Nevoro under the Nevoro Warrants and Nevoro Options. Each Replacement Security entitles the holder to acquire that number of Starfield Shares equal to the product of (A) the number of Nevoro Shares the holder's Nevoro Warrant or Nevoro Option entitled the holder to acquire immediately before the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement, and (B) 0.87. The exercise price per Starfield Share payable upon the exercise of each Replacement Security is equal to the quotient of (A) the exercise price per Nevoro Share subject to the holder's Nevoro Warrant or Nevoro Option, as the case may be, immediately before the effective time of the Plan of Arrangement divided by (B) 0.87, rounded up to the nearest cent.

Holders of Nevoro Warrants and/or Nevoro Options may exchange their Nevoro Warrant certificates and Nevoro Option agreements for new warrant certificates and option agreements of Starfield (each, a "Replacement Document") by providing their original Nevoro Warrant certificates or Nevoro Option agreements to Starfield at 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2210, Toronto , Ontario, Canada M5H 3P5. The Replacement Documents will bear the name of Starfield, will reflect the adjusted number of Starfield Shares that may be acquired upon the exercise thereof and reflect on their face the adjusted exercise price per Starfield Share. In the event a holder does not elect to exchange its Nevoro Warrant certificate or Nevoro Option agreement for a Replacement Document and subsequently exercises all or part of such Nevoro Warrant or Nevoro Option, such Holder will receive the same number of Starfield Shares as they would have received had they submitted a Replacement Document.

Holders of Nevoro Options have, subject to the exception described below, 90 days from the effective date of termination of their status as a director, officer or employee of Nevoro or any of its Designated Affiliates (as defined in the Nevoro share incentive plan dated May 9, 2008 ) to exercise any vested Nevoro Options. As previously disclosed in the Nevoro management information circular dated August 28, 2009 , Starfield has extended the exercise period for terminated Nevoro directors, officers and certain key employees beyond the 90 day period to the earlier of October 8, 2010 and the original date of expiry of the their Nevoro Option.

No fractional shares will be issued by Starfield. To the extent that the holder of one or more Nevoro Warrants or Nevoro Options would otherwise have been entitled to receive on exercise or partial exercise thereof a fraction of a common share, that holder may exercise such right in respect of the fraction only in combination with another warrant or warrants or option that in the aggregate entitle the holder to purchase a whole number of shares. If not so exercised, Starfield shall not pay any amounts to the holder in satisfaction of the right to otherwise have received a fraction of a common share.
