Nuinsco Announces Eighth Intersection of More than 100m of Continuous Critical

Elements & Phosphate Mineralization at Prairie Lake

Toronto, September 9, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”) (CSE: NWI) today

announced an eighth successive intersection of 100m or more of Critical Elements and phosphate mineralization

at its 100%‐owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontari o with the receipt of an alyses producing a 122.7m

intersection in DDH NP0807.

“The ongoing drill core sampling program (the “Program”) at Prairie Lake continues to produce exceptional

mineralized widths that are defining a very extensive domain of much sought‐after rare earth elements, niobium,

tantalum and phosphate,” said Paul Jones, Nuinsco’s CEO. “Our intent is to use the results from the Program to

upgrade the existing Exploration Target (“ET”) to a resource in the near term.”

The mineralization of economic interest contained within the Pr airie Lake intrusion occurs at surface and extends

to unknown depths below the deepest drilling conducted to date (circa 500m vertically). There is no indication that

mineralization diminishes with depth and the eight intersections from the Program reported to date occur over an

interval of 530m, oriented southea st‐northwest, in the Southwes t (“SW”) Area (see map below). The Prairie Lake

complex hosts a suite of elements of economic interest identified as Critical Elements defined under the Canadian

Minerals and Metals Plan (“CMMP”) contained within the very large domain of mineralized rock t hat is extremely

favourably located from a logist ical perspective with rail, roa d, shipping, and power infrastructure already

established. Prairie Lake hosts a number of elements and compounds of economic interest including those for

which demand is projected to substantially increase and for which secure supply chains are sought.

Analytical results from the 122.7 metres of continuous minerali zation (from 2.3‐125m) of niobium (Nb), tantalum

(Ta), phosphate (P2O5), and rare earth elements (REE) including lanthanum (La), ceriu m ( C e ) , s a m a r i u m ( S m ) ,

neodymium (Nd) and yttrium (Y) – analytical results are tabulated below. Eighteen drill‐holes have been sampled

to date as part of the Program, focussing on drill‐holes collar ed to intercept the SW area which measures 1km in

length and is between 150m and 750m wide at surface. The SW are a alone hosts 435‐530 million tonnes of the

total 515‐630 million tonne ET, with grades as tabulated in the “Prairie Lake ET” table below.

The Prairie Lake project consists of 46 mineral claims covering an area of ~630 ha. Prairie Lake is superbly located,

easily accessed by an all‐weather road from the TransCanada Hig hway located 28 kilometres to the south. The ET

is defined by 59 diamond drill holes.

All samples were analysed by Activation Laboratories (ActLabs) in Ancaster, Ontario. Samples were analysed for a

whole rock and trace element ICP analytical package as well as for niobium, tantalum, and zirconium oxides using

a fusion XRF method. An internal Quality Control Quality Assura nce (QAQC) program was implemented with four

QAQC samples (blanks and reference standards) added into the sampling stream.

November 2018 prepared by P&E Mining Consultants Inc. that is filed on SEDAR. 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
