Nuinsco Announces the Ninth Consecutive Intersection of More than 100m of

Continuous Critical Elements & Phosphate Mineralization at Prairie Lake

Toronto, September 16, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”) (CSE: NWI) today

announced that a ninth consecut ive drill hole has produced an i ntersection of 100m or more of Critical Elements

and phosphate mineralization at its 100%‐owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontario with the receipt of

analyses producing a 118.7m intersection in DDH NP0808.

“The continued exceptional mineralized widths of rare earth ele ments, niobium, tantalum and phosphate

encountered at the Prairie Lake project is more remarkable considering that the intersections commence at surface,

with obvious positive implicatio ns for potential exploitation,” said Paul Jones, Nuinsco’s CEO. “The Prairie Lake

project is exceptionally located from a logistical perspective further enhancing its value to the Company and

shareholders; we will continue to aggressively evaluate the potential.”

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 nine 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 118.7 metres of continuous minerali zation (from 6.3‐125m) 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
