Nuinsco Resources Highlights Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project
Nuinsco Resources Highlights Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project
Well‐located Ontario project endowed with comprehensive suite of REEs
Toronto, June 4, 2019 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or “the Company”) (CSE: NWI) continues to
evaluate its 100%‐owned Prairie Lake project (“Prairie Lake”) near Marathon in northwestern Ontario. The project
encompasses the widespread presence of rare earth elements (“RE Es”) as well as niobium, tantalum and
phosphate mineralization. The min eralization identified is enti rely contained within the Prairie Lake carbonatite
complex, presently an exploration target (“ET”) of 515‐630 mill ion tonnes defined by 46 diamond drill holes with
grades as tabulated below.
The Prairie Lake project consists of nine mineral claims covering an area of 608 ha. Logistically Prairie Lake is
superbly located, with ready access to power, road, rail and sh ipping infrastructure; it is easily accessed by an all‐
weather road from the TransCanada Highway 28 kilometres to the south.
“The Prairie Lake project encompasses a very large domain of mi neralization that is a prospective source of REEs.
With its distinct logistical advantages, Prairie Lake is well p ositioned considering potential threats to interrupt the
supply of strategic commodities as a result of on‐going trade disputes,” said Paul Jones, CEO. “The projected
significant increase in demand for minerals used in the automot ive, high‐tech, clean‐energy, telecommunications
and global agriculture industries, to name a few, is well docum ented. The mineral endowment combined with the
relative ease with which Prairie Lake potentially could be expl oited from surface using quarry methods points to
the significance of Prairie Lake within Nuinsco’s property portfolio.”
The ongoing evaluation will include additional sampling from cu rrently unsampled drill‐core intervals; this core is
from drill holes completed by the Company but not yet fully sampled. The sampling will move Nuinsco a step
closer to estimating a mineral resource on the Prairie Lake project.

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.

About Nuinsco Resources Limited
Nuinsco Resources has over 45 years of exploration success and is a growth oriented, multi‐commodity mineral
exploration and development company focused on prospective oppo rtunities in Canada and internationally.
Currently the Company has two properties in Ontario – the high‐ grade Sunbeam gold prospect near Atikokan and
the large, multi‐commodity (rare‐earths, niobium, tantalum, phosphorus) Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay. In
addition, Nuinsco has recently completed an agreement for gold exploitation at the El Sid project in the Eastern
Desert of Egypt – a project with the potential to provide near‐term revenue.
Forward‐Looking Statements
This news release contains certain "forward‐looking statements." All statements, other than statements of historic fact, that address activities, events or
developments that Nuinsco believes, expects or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward‐looking statements. For ward‐looking statements are

complete financings, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates, production rates varying from estimates, changes in world commodities
markets, changes in equity markets, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, equipment failure, unexpected
geological conditions, imprecision in resource estimates, succe ss of future development initiatives, competition, operating pe rformance of facilities,
environmental and safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain tenure to properties and/or necessary permits and app rovals, and other development
and operating risks. Any forward‐looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and, except as may be requir ed by applicable securities
