Nuinsco Doubles Strike Length at Sunbeam Gold Property, New Option Agreement Significantly Increases Exploration Targets
Nuinsco Doubles Strike Length at Sunbeam Gold Property, New Option Agreement
Significantly Increases Exploration Targets
Toronto, October 27, 2020 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“ Nuinsco” o r t h e “Company”) (CSE: NWI) today
announced that it has entered into an option agreement that has effectively doubled the size of the Sunbeam
gold property land package and significantly expanded the scope and potential of exploration targets available to
Nuinsco.
The original Sunbeam gold property hosts 10 gold occurrences, i ncluding the past‐producing high‐grade Sunbeam
gold mine and numerous localities of anomalous gold mineralization, on 15km of gold mineralized trends; the
newly‐optioned ground essentially doubles the total length of these mineralized trends to approximately 30km.
The newly‐optioned ground comprises nine (9) mining claims (consisting of 117 cells). Terms of the option
requires a cash payment of $10,000 on signing the agreement with subsequent payments of $12,000, $16,000
and $25,000 in years two, three and four. One million common s hares of the Company will also be issued to the
vendor upon signing.
“The expansion of Sunbeam gold property provides substantially greater exploration opportunity for Nuinsco,”
said Paul Jones, CEO. “Anomalous gold mineralization is known to be distributed throughout the length of the
mineralized trends, now stretching to 30km of total strike leng th. We anticipate geophysical surveys to
commence shortly to map subsurface extension of known gold mineralization.”

The Sunbeam gold property is traversed by at least three sub‐pa rallel, 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.
These lineaments present an extensive exploration target that e xtends to all parts of the project, have seen only
intermittent historic exploration, and represent an excellent t arget to be comprehensively explored. A number of
these occurrences have returned high‐grade assays from grab‐samples and limited drilling. Elsewhere historic pits
and shafts have been excavated to conduct exploration at the Ro y, Pettigrew and Road occurrences – all of which
contain gold mineralization that merits further exploration. P revious work also identified strong anomalous gold
mineralization from grab samples collected along the extent of the trends.
The Sunbeam gold property is underlain by the Marmion Lake Batholith that is host to eleven historic gold
deposits as well as numerous other gold occurrences; Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef deposit Measured and
Indicated Mineral Resources of 208Mt at 0.67 g/t Au, 4.5 Moz contained gold, (as per Agnico Eagle website
www.agnicoeagle.com) occurs near the northwest contact of the i ntrusion. The Sunbeam gold property hosts the
Sunbeam Mine, the site of high‐grade, underground gold producti on dating from the beginning of the 20 th
century. Numerous samples collected at surface from waste dumps at the former mine site have returned high‐
grade gold content, peaking at 898 g/t Au (as per Recommendatio ns for Exploration, Ontario Geological Survey
Resident Geologist Program, 2015‐2016). Samples collected by Nuinsco from waste‐rock at the mine returned
analyses as high as 122g/t gold (refer to the Nuinsco news rele ase dated 21 March 2019); these findings concur
with results reported in historic records.
Host mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine is a northeast‐striking shear zone consisting of altered, chloritic,
schistose, rock within which sulphide and gold bearing quartz v eins occur. Historically pits and shafts were
excavated to trace the quartz vein ing and schist along strike f or more than 300m. Similar mineralization has been
observed along strike from the Sunbeam Mine and on sub‐parallel structures.
Nuinsco has identified prospective geophysical targets related to the Sunbeam Mine derived from an IP/Magnetic
survey completed by the Company in 2018 and plans further coverage to test other parts of the mineralized
trends. Diamond drill targets have also been identified and await testing.
The 48.5 km2 Property is very well located in north‐western Ontario 27km no rtheast of the town of Atikokan and
12km southeast of Agnico Eagle’s Hammond Reef gold deposit. It is directly accessible via well maintained logging
roads from paved Hwy 11.
