Nuinsco Continues to Extend Mineralized Intersections with Ongoing Infill Sampling Program at Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project
Nuinsco Continues to Extend Mineralized Intersections with
Ongoing Infill Sampling Program at Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project
Toronto, July 15, 2021 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or “the Company”) (CSE: NWI), is pleased to
announce results for previously unsampled drill core from diamond drilling programs conducted at its 100%‐
owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontario. This addi tional sampling of hole NP0713 more than triples
the length of the known intercept of niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), phosphate (P2O5), and rare earth elements (REE)
including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and yttrium (Y), extending it by 72m for
the hole. The program continues with the sampling focussing on drill holes collared to intercept the Southwest
(SW) Area to ultimately provide information to support the Comp any’s goal of establishing a mineral resource on
the property.
“The ongoing infill sampling of drill core from the previous drilling programs moves Nuinsco a step closer to
upgrading part of the current 515‐630 million tonne Exploration Target (“ET” ‐ refer to table below) on the Prairie
Lake project to a mineral resource,” said Paul Jones, Nuinsco’s CEO. “This project is in a logistically excellent
location, in a stable jurisdiction, is endowed with a diversity of sought‐after elements and commodities including
Critical Elements defined under the Canadian Minerals and Metal s Plan (“CMMP”). It represents a target of very
substantial scope and is a very significant asset to Nuinsco.”
A total of 58 drill core samples were collected from NP0713, a 101m long diamond drill hole. A 72m section was
sampled from 2m depth down to 74m. NP0713 is one of ten holes f rom the southeast half of the SW Area target
from which samples have been submitted for analyses so far this year (see map). Additional sampling, primarily
2
from the northwest half of the SW Area target, is planned for later this summer.

When combined with previously reported sampling (see press release dated January 7, 2008), the new results
extend the intersection in hole NP0713 by 72m to 0.131 % Nb2O5 and 2.83 % P2O5 with 0.0029 % (29 g/t) Ta2O5 and
1261 g/t ∑REE over 99.0m.
Previous diamond drilling on the Prairie Lake property (2007 to 2010) has returned assays up to:
1.008 % Nb2O5 over 1.0m (NP0711; 97.5‐98.5m; carbonatite)
23.08 % P2O5 over 0.44m (NP1005; 336.27‐336.71m; carbonatite)
474 g/t Ta over 1.0m (NP0711; 23.75‐24.75m; ijolite)
2380 g/t Nd, 1910 g/t La and 4160 g/t Ce over 1.06m (NP1007; 428.0‐429.06m; carbonatite)
590 g/t Sm and 887 g/t Y over 1.38m (NP1006; 165.92‐167.3m; carbonatite)
The Prairie Lake project consists of 46 mineral claims covering an area of ~630 ha. Logistically Prairie Lake is superbly
located, with ready access to power, road, rail and shipping in frastructure; it is easily accessed by an all‐weather
road from the TransCanada Highway 28 kilometres to the south. The mineralization identified is entirely contained
within the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex; the ET of 515‐630 million tonnes is defined by 59 diamond drill holes
with grades as tabulated below.
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.

2 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 of a mineral resource. There is no National Instrument 43‐101 – Standards of
Disclosure for Mineral Projects preliminary economic assessment in respect of the Prairie Lake ET.
All exploration work at Prairie Lake is supervised by Laura Gir oux, P.Geo, Chief Geologist, who acts as Nuinsco's
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43‐101. Ms. Giroux has reviewed and approved the technical contents
of this news release.
