Nuinsco’s First Round of Infill Sampling at Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project Significantly
Extends Mineralized Intersections
Toronto, June 19, 2019 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or “the Company”) (CSE: NWI) is pleased to
announce results for previously unsampled drill core from the 2 007 drilling program at its 100%‐
owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontario. This addi tional sampling of holes NP0702 and NP0714
significantly extends the known niobium (Nb), tantalum (Ta), ph osphorous (P) intercepts in these holes and adds
assays for rare earth elements (REE) including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), samarium (S m), neodymium (Nd) and
yttrium (Y).
“The ongoing infill sampling of drill core from the 2007, 2008 and 2010 diamond drilling programs moves Nuinsco
a step closer to upgrading part of the current 515‐630 million tonne Exploration Target (“ET”) on the Prairie Lake
project to a mineral resource,” said Paul Jones, Nuinsco’s CEO.
A total of 21 samples were taken from two holes, NP0702 and NP0714. In hole NP0702, a 5.5m section was
sampled down to the bottom of the hole at 143m. In NP0714, a 50m long hole, two intervals totalling 31.75m
were sampled.

When combined with previously reported sampling (see press release dated January 7, 2008), the new results
extend the intersection i n hole NP0714 to 0.207 % Nb 2O5 and 5.26 % P 2O5 with 43 g/t Ta over 45.9m, between
4.1m and 50.0m, from the 17.45m length reported in 2008.
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 sh ipping infrastructure; 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 o f 515‐630 million tonnes is defined by 59 diamond
drill holes with grades as tabulated below:
2
Prairie Lake ET1:
1 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 Inst rument 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 h as reviewed and approved the technical
contents of this news release.
