Nuinsco Enters into Contract to Commence Diamond Drilling at the Sunbeam High Grade Gold Project

TORONTO, April 12, 2021 - Nuinsco Resources Ltd. ("Nuinsco" or the "Company") (CSE:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced it has entered into a contract to conduct diamond drilling on its Sunbeam Gold property ("Sunbeam" or the "Property") near Atikokan in north-western Ontario.

The objective of the planned drilling will be to evaluate geological and geophysical targets identified along the gold-mineralized Sunbeam-Roy trends that traverse the entire width of the Property. Given the known distribution and grade of gold mineralization along the Sunbeam-Roy trends the targets are high priority objectives and remain to be thoroughly evaluated in exploration programs. Drilling will be directed to test for extension to the gold mineralized domains exploited in the Sunbeam Mine between 1898 and 1905. Historical records from the mining operation refer to high-grade gold tenor averaging ~13g/t gold with no indication that the mineralization is cut-off or is diminishing below the lowermost level of the old mine workings. Elsewhere the drilling will test responses obtained from the recent geophysical surveys conducted on the project where chargeability and resistivity responses are associated with known gold mineralization at the Road Zone, and on strike from the Sunbeam and AL198 mineralization. The drilling program will commence as soon as practical this spring given the current restrictions related to the Covid 19 pandemic.

"The commencement of diamond drilling at Sunbeam this spring is a substantial step forward in evaluating the Sunbeam Project and will provide greater insight into the controls on gold mineralization in an area of known gold endowment," said Paul Jones, CEO. "High-grade gold targets abound on the Project and historic geophysics and drilling has been limited. The target area associated with the Sunbeam Mine mineralization is very high priority and we are very enthusiastic about the positive results of our recent geophysical surveys that have identified domains of high-priority target areas along 2900m of discontinuously mineralized strike length in the Sunbeam-Roy trends."

The Sunbeam Gold Property encompasses numerous sites of gold mineralization and includes the historic, underground, Sunbeam Mine that operated between 1898 and 1905, as well as the Roy and Pettigrew deposits, and a number of other gold showings. Mineralization at the Sunbeam Mine is hosted by a 30m wide sheared zone of altered, schistose rock. Gold mineralization occurs within a southwest striking quartz vein/chloritic zone that historically has been traced from surface to at least 100m vertically and along strike for more than 300m in pits and shafts. Similar mineralization has been observed on the Sunbeam lineament along strike from the Sunbeam Mine and on sub-parallel structures. A 1903 plan of the mine shows an average grade of ~13g/t Au in the historic workings. There has been no exploration of the formerly patented mine site since the mine closed 116 years ago. Intermittent exploration on mineral claims around the patent was conducted between 1981 and 2012.

The Sunbeam Gold Property consists of 110 unpatented mining claims (218 cells), covering 48.8km², situated 27km northeast of the town of Atikokan, Ontario, and 12km southeast of Agnico Eagle's Hammond Reef gold deposit. It is easily accessible via well maintained logging roads from Hwy 11. The property is traversed by at least three sub-parallel, northeast-trending, gold-mineralized trends secondary to the regionally extensive, sub-province bounding Quetico Fault. Collectively these trends now total approximately 30 kilometres of mineralized target domain on the Property and host 10 gold occurrences; it is an extensive exploration target that extends to all parts of the Property, has seen only intermittent historic exploration and represents an excellent opportunity to be comprehensively explored. A number of the occurrences have returned high-grade assays from grab-samples and limited drilling (refer to map). Elsewhere historic pits and shafts have been excavated to conduct exploration at the Roy, Pettigrew and Road occurrences - all of which contain gold mineralization that merits further exploration. Previous work also identified new occurrences of strong anomalous gold mineralization from grab samples.
