Nuinsco Completes First Phase of Diamond Drilling at the Sunbeam High Grade Gold Project
Nuinsco Completes First Phase of Diamond Drilling at the
Sunbeam High Grade Gold Project
Toronto, June 10, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“ Nuinsco” or the “ Company”) (CSE: NWI, www.nuinsco.ca)
today announced the first phase of diamond drilling has been completed at its Sunbeam Gold property (“Sunbeam”
or the “Property”) near Atikokan in north‐western Ontario.
Eight (8) diamond drill holes totalling 1,091m (3,578.5ft) were completed. The program was conducted very
efficiently, with all holes achieving their planned depth and intersecting altered and deformed rock known to host
gold mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine and other gold occurren ces on the Property. The drilling tested target
areas separated along strike on the mineralized Sunbeam‐Roy trend by approximately 500m to a maximum depth
of 200m down‐dip – approximately twice the depth of historic reports. Analytical results are awaited.
“We are very pleased with the execution of the first phase of t he drilling program at Sunbeam,” said Paul Jones,
CEO. “All of the drill holes were completed as planned and the deformation, alteration, and quartz‐veining observed
i n a l l h o l e s s p e a k s t o t h e p r e s e n c e o f a w i d e ‐ s p r e a d m i n e r a l i z ed system. We are also pleased that drill holes
targeting geophysical responses intersected altered and deformed rock as predicted from the interpretations,
demonstrating that the induced polarization method is capable of producing tangible responses on the Property. A
number of geophysical responses remain to be tested and we awai t the results of the recently‐completed third
phase of induced polarization and magnetic surveys that has further expanded geophysical coverage on the
Property (see news release of May 12, 2021).”
The objective of the drilling was to evaluate geological and geophysical targets identified along the gold‐mineralized
Sunbeam‐Roy trends that traverse the entire width of the Proper ty. The distribution and grade of gold
mineralization along these trends are high‐priority targets tha t have not been thoroughly evaluated. First phase
drilling was directed to test for extensions to the deformed, altered and gold‐mineralized domains exploited in the
Sunbeam Mine between 1898 and 1905. Elsewhere, the dr illing tested induced polarization anomalies identified
f r o m g e o p h y s i c a l s u r v e y s c o m m i s s ioned by the Company where char geability and resistivity responses are
associated with known gold mineralization at the Road Zone, and on strike from the Sunbeam mineralization.
The Sunbeam Gold Property encom passes 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 Sunbeam 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 vertically and along strike for more than 300m in pits and
shafts. Similar mineralization has been observed on the Sunbeam lineament along strike from the Sunbeam Mine
and on sub‐parallel structures. A 1903 plan of the mine shows an average grade of ~13g/t Au in the historic
workings. There has been no exploration of the formerly patent ed mine site since the mine closed 116 years ago.
Intermittent exploration on mineral claims around the patent 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 southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef gold deposit. It
is easily accessible via well maintained logging roads from Hwy 11. The property is traversed by at least three sub‐
parallel, northeast‐trending, gold‐mineralized trends secondary to the regionally extensive, sub‐province bounding
Quetico Fault. Collectively these trends now total approximately 30 kilometres of mineralized target domain on the
Property and host 10 gold occurrences; it is an extensive exploration target that extends to all parts of the Property,
has seen only intermittent historic exploration and represents an excellent opportunity to be comprehensively
explored. Several the occurrences have returned high‐grade assa ys from grab‐samples and limited drilling.
Elsewhere historic pits and shafts have been excavated to conduc t e x p l o r a t i o n a t t h e R o y , P e t t i g r e w an d R o a d

occurrences – all of which contain gold mineralization that merits further exploration. Previous work also identified
new occurrences of strong anomalous gold mineralization from grab samples.
