Nuinsco's First Round of Infill Sampling at Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project Significantly Extends Mineralized Intersections

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 19, 2019 / Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (CSE: NWI) is pleased to announce results for previously unsampled drill core from the 2007 drilling program at its 100%‐owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontario. This additional sampling of holes NP0702 and NP0714 significantly extends the known niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), phosphorous (P) intercepts in these holes and adds assays for rare earth elements (REE) including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and yttrium (Y).

"The ongoing infill sampling of drill core from the 2007, 2008 and 2010 diamond drilling programs moves Nuinsco a step closer to upgrading part of the current 515-630 million tonne Exploration Target ("ET") on the Prairie Lake project to a mineral resource," said Paul Jones, Nuinsco's CEO.

A total of 21 samples were taken from two holes, NP0702 and NP0714. In hole NP0702, a 5.5m section was sampled down to the bottom of the hole at 143m. In NP0714, a 50m long hole, two intervals totalling 31.75m were sampled.

∑REE = Sum of Y, La, Ce, Nd, Sm; Y - yttrium, La - lanthanum, Ce - cerium, Nd - neodymium, Sm - samarium;
P2O5 - phosphate, Nb2O5 - niobium oxide, Ta - tantalum, 1g/t = 1 ppm

When combined with previously reported sampling (see press release dated January 7, 2008), the new results extend the intersection in hole NP0714 to 0.207 % Nb2O5 and 5.26 % P2O5 with 43 g/t Ta over 45.9m,between 4.1m and 50.0m, from the 17.45m length reported in 2008.

Previous diamond drilling on the Prairie Lake property (2007 to 2010) has returned assays up to:

• 1.008 % Nb2O5 over 1.0m (NP0711; 97.5-98.5m; carbonatite)
• 23.08 % P2O5 over 0.44m (NP1005; 336.27-336.71m; carbonatite)
• 474 g/t Ta over 1.0m (NP0711; 23.75-24.75m; ijolite)
• 2380 g/t Nd, 1910 g/t La and 4160 g/t Ce over 1.06m (NP1007; 428.0-429.06m; carbonatite)
• 590 g/t Sm and 887 g/t Y over 1.38m (NP1006; 165.92-167.3m; Carbonatite)

The Prairie Lake project consists of 46 mineral claims covering an area of ~630 ha. Logistically Prairie Lake is superbly located, with ready access to power, road, rail and shipping infrastructure; it is easily accessed by an all-weather road from the TransCanada Highway 28 kilometres to the south. The mineralization identified is entirely contained within the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex; the ET of 515-630 million tonnes is defined by 59 diamond drill holes with grades as tabulated below:

Prairie Lake ET¹:

¹ The potential quantity and grade of the ET is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the discovery of a mineral resource. There is no National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects preliminary economic assessment in respect of the Prairie Lake ET.

All exploration work at Prairie Lake is supervised by Laura Giroux, P.Geo, Chief Geologist, who acts as Nuinsco's Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. Ms. Giroux has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this news release.

About Nuinsco Resources Limited

Nuinsco Resources has over 45 years of exploration success and is a growth oriented, multi-commodity mineral exploration and development company focused on prospective opportunities in Canada and internationally. Currently the Company has two properties in Ontario - the high-grade Sunbeam gold prospect near Atikokan and the large, multi-commodity (rare-earths, niobi­um, tantalum, phosphorus) Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay. In addition, Nuinsco has completed an agreement for gold exploitation at the El Sid project in the Eastern Desert of Egypt - a project with the potential to provide near-term revenue.

Forward-Looking Statements

This news release contains certain "forward-looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historic fact, that address activities, events or developments that Nuinsco believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements.
