Nuinsco Updated Geophysics Compilation Identifies Numerous Drill Targets on Sunbeam Gold Property
Nuinsco Updated Geophysics Compilation Identifies Numerous Drill Targets on Sunbeam Gold
Property
Toronto, March 10, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“ Nuinsco” or the “ Company”) (CSE: NWI) today
announced receipt of a detailed geophysical compilation and int erpretation that has identified target domains for
diamond drill testing and further surface exploration and geophysical coverage on its Sunbeam Gold property
(“Sunbeam” or the “Property”) near Atikokan in north‐western Ontario.
The detailed interpretation provides targeting for diamond dril ling and further geophysical coverage at Sunbeam
that are now being planned. The study, incorporating results fr om induced polarization and magnetic geophysical
surveys conducted in 2018 and 2020, provides greater and more d etailed insight regarding mineralized domains
and exploration targets. The compilation covers parts of the S unbeam and the Roy lineaments on the Property,
both of which host abundant sites of gold mineralization including the high‐grade Sunbeam Gold Mine and
remain to be thoroughly evaluated in exploration programs.
“The latest results obtained fro m ongoing geophysical interpret ation provides excellent guidance to further
exploration and work programs at the Sunbeam Project,” said Pau l Jones, CEO. “Chargeability/resistivity results
and metal‐factor determinations now provide domains of high‐pri ority target areas along 2900m of
discontinuously mineralized strike length in the Sunbeam and Ro y lineaments for which diamond drilling is
recommended. These domains remain open along strike to the eas t and west and are clearly targets for further
expansion of geophysical coverage and follow‐up mapping and sampling.”
As reported previously the interpreted anomalous domains are as sociated with known high‐grade gold
mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine as well as significant gold mineralization at the Road Zone and the AL198
Zone. At least seven other gold occurrences and numerous gold‐a nomalous grab samples have been identified or
collected from the remaining 25km of prospective, gold‐minerali zed, lineaments encompassed by the Property.
All of this terrane is prime exploration target and remains to be tested with geophysics.

The Sunbeam Gold Property encompasses numerous sites of gold mi neralization and includes the historic,
underground, Sunbeam Mine that operated between 1898 and 1905, as well as the Roy and Pettigrew deposits,
and a number of other gold showings. Mineralization at the Sunb eam Mine is hosted by a 30m wide sheared zone
of altered, schistose rock. Gold mineralization occurs within a southwest striking quartz vein/chloritic zone that
historically has been traced from surface to at least 100m vert ically and along strike for more than 300m in pits
and shafts. Similar mineralization has been observed on the Sun beam lineament along strike from the Sunbeam
Mine and on sub‐parallel structures. A 1903 plan of the mine s hows an average grade of ~13g/t Au in the historic
workings; this historically reported grade cannot be independently verifie d and should not be considered reliable
until verified. There has been no exploration of the formerly patented mine site since the mine closed 116 years
ago. Intermittent exploration on mineral claims around the patent area was conducted between 1981 and 2012.
The Sunbeam Gold Property consists of 110 unpatented mining claims (218 cells), covering 48.8km2, situated
27km northeast of the town of Atikokan, Ontario, and 12km southe a s t o f A g n i c o E a g l e ’ s H a m m o n d R e e f g o l d
deposit. It is easily accessible via well maintained logging ro ads from Hwy 11. The property is traversed by at least
three sub‐parallel, northeast‐trending, gold‐mineralized lineaments secondary to the regionally extensive, sub‐
province bounding Quetico Fault. Collectively these lineaments now total approximately 30 kilometres of
mineralized target domain and host 10 gold occurrences; they pr esent an extensive exploration target that
extends to all parts of the Property, have seen only intermitte nt historic exploration and represent an excellent
opportunity to be comprehensively explored. A number of the occ urrences have returned high‐grade assays from
grab‐samples and limited drilling. Elsewhere historic pits and shafts have been excavated to conduct exploration
a t t h e R o y , P e t t i g r e w a n d R o a d o c c u r r e n c e s – a l l o f w h i c h c o n t ain gold mineralization that merits further
exploration. Previous work also identified new occurrences of strong anomalous gold mineralization from grab
samples collected along the lineaments.
