Nuinsco Reports Drill Results from Prairie Lake Rare Metals Project Positive Results Continue to Add to Potential Economic Significance of Multi-Commodity Project

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/15/11 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ('Nuinsco')(TSX: NWI), (www.nuinsco.ca) today reported that diamond drilling at its Prairie Lake rare metals project in Northern Ontario returned grades up to 0.957% niobium (Nb2O5) and 8.68% phosphorous (P2O5) as part of a 246m interval grading 0.118% Nb2O5 and 3.41% P2O5.

'These impressive results continue to make clear the widespread presence of minerals and the economic potential of Prairie Lake,' explained Paul Jones, President. 'To put this into context, the niobium grade compares favourably with the Nb2O5 resource grade reported by Commerce Resources Corp. at its Upper Fir carbonatite deposit in BC. Also, the positive phosphorous, tantalum and rare earth element (REE) results combined with a location adjacent to power, road, rail and shipping facilities enhance the prominence of Prairie Lake.'

Given the significant scale of the mineralization identified at Prairie Lake and the results of the exploration programs conducted so far, Nuinsco is actively advancing its program of recovery process testing on the project. Past efforts have shown that the mineralization at Prairie Lake, which is easily excavated using simple quarry mining methods, can be upgraded to produce a concentrate containing more than 23% P2O5 using low cost flotation methods (see news release dated 4 February 2010). The process testing program will be expanded upon to evaluate production of a niobium concentrate.

DDH NP-1001 was drilled to a length of 575m; 456.95m of the hole was
 sampled, with a weighted average grade of 0.119 Nb2O5 and 3.31 P2O5.

Approximately 4,000m of drilling took place during November and December 2010 in the western part of the Prairie Lake Complex (see attached map). The results from this first hole demonstrate strong niobium and phosphorus mineralization, with REEs and tantalum over very substantial sampling lengths which, along with recently reported trenching results, indicate good potential to augment the existing Exploration Target Mineralization Inventory (ETMI(1)) estimated at between 330 and 360 million tonnes.

About Prairie Lake

Located about 45 kilometres northwest of Marathon, Ontario, Nuinsco's Prairie Lake property covers the entire 2.8 km2 (at surface) Prairie Lake Carbonatite Complex and is easily accessible from the TransCanada Highway. The Prairie Lake Project hosts a near-surface historic (non-NI-43-101-compliant) resource of over 180,000 tonnes grading 0.09% U308 (1.656 lb/tonne) and 0.25% niobium identified in limited exploration dating from the mid-1960s. In addition, a 330 million-360 million tonne National Instrument 43-101-compliant Prairie Lake ETMI(1) averages 3.5% to 3.7% P2O5 and 0.12% to 0.14% Nb2O5 (1.2 to 1.4 kg/tonne) (see news release dated 13 January 2010). The 2010 ETMI is based on only 12% of the total surface area of the Prairie Lake project, therefore the significant results from the subsequent 2010 trenching and drill programs, both undertaken outside of the ETMI area, enhance the possibility of increasing the known tonnage and potential economic significance of this multi-commodity deposit. In addition to phosphorous and niobium, the suite of minerals of economic significance includes tantalum (Ta), uranium (U) and REEs (1,490-1,536 ppm combined, including lanthanum (La), cerium (Ce), samarium (Sm), neodymium (Nd) and yttrium (Y)).

(1)The potential quantity and grade of the ETMI is conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a NI 43-101 mineral resource. Therefore, it is uncertain that further exploration will result in the delineation of the ETMI as a mineral resource deposit.

All intervals are core lengths, not true widths. Analyses were conducted by Activation Laboratories of Ancaster, Ontario. All exploration work is supervised by Paul Jones, President, who acts as QP under National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
