Nuinsco Resources Clarifies Prairie Lake Disclosure
TORONTO, December 10, 2019 - Nuinsco Resources Ltd. ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (CSE:NWI), at the request of IIROC, wishes to clarify statements made in its news release issued earlier today regarding its 100%-owned Prairie Lake project ("Prairie Lake") near Marathon in northwestern Ontario. Prairie Lake recently received a listing by the Organic Minerals Research Institute ("OMRI") of the project's calcium carbonate rock for use as a soil amendment and in organic food production or food processing and handling according to the USDA's National Organic Program regulations.
The Prairie Lake project encompasses an Exploration Target ("ET") of 515-630 million tonnes defined by 46 diamond drill holes with grades as tabulated below. 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.

No mineral resource or economic evaluation demonstrating the economic viability and technical feasibility of the Prairie Lake project at any level of confidence has been completed on the project.
