Nuinsco to Expand Geophysical Coverage at the Sunbeam Gold Property Including Coverage of the High‐Grade Rubble Showing
Nuinsco To Expand Geophysical Coverage at the Sunbeam Gold Property
Including Coverage of the High‐Grade Rubble Showing
Toronto, March 25, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“ Nuinsco” or the “ Company”) (CSE: NWI) today
announced that it has commissioned a survey to expand geophysical coverage at the Sunbeam Gold Property
(“Sunbeam” or the “ Property”). Both induced polarisation and magnetic methods are planned to further extend
coverage along extensive, gold‐mineralized linear trends that t raverse the Property and that host ten gold
occurrences including the high‐grade Sunbeam Gold Mine. The sur vey will commence as soon as practicable and
is part of a planned comprehensive exploration program on the Property encompassing diamond drilling.
The surveys follow earlier geophysical coverage commissioned by the Company that has defined domains of high‐
priority target areas along 2,900m of discontinuously mineraliz ed strike length in the Sunbeam and Roy
lineaments on the Property, both of which host abundant sites o f gold mineralization and remain to be
thoroughly evaluated in exploration programs. The planned surv eys will be conducted by Simcoe Geoscience and
will extend coverage further east along the Sunbeam and Roy tre nds and will expand coverage to the
Pettigrew/WN2 trend and adjacent Rubble occurrence.
“The expanded geophysical coverage into areas that have not pre viously been surveyed will increase our
understanding of the mineralization at Sunbeam in preparation f or diamond drilling on the Property,” said Paul
Jones, CEO. “These new areas encompass sites of strong gold mineralization. In particular the new survey will
cover the Rubble Showing that has returned strongly gold anomalous grab samples, peaking at 44.38 g/t gold
(1.42 oz/ton gold), along a strike length of nearly 200m and width of 30m. Coverage will also extend to the
significant gold mineralization at the Roy Showing.”

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

vein/chloritic zone that historically was traced from surface t o at least 100m vertically and along strike for more
than 300m in pits and shafts. Sim ilar mineralization has been o bserved on the Sunbeam lineament along strike
from the Sunbeam Mine and on sub‐parallel structures. A 1903 pl a n o f t h e m i n e s h o w s a n a v e r a g e g r a d e o f

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.
