Nuinsco Evaluates Additional Occurrences on Bukari Concession in Egypt Three Showings Return Significant Results on Surface, Attest to Widespread Gold Mineralization
Three Showings Return Significant Results on Surface, Attest to Widespread Gold Mineralization
TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 04/20/11 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ('Nuinsco' or 'the Company') (TSX: NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced additional assay results from surface sampling that further confirm the extensive gold mineralization on its Bukari Concession in Egypt's Eastern Desert.
The work reported here was conducted on five gold occurrences, three of which are located on Nuinsco's Bukari concession area (Daghbag, Abu Muawaad and #8 Prospect - see map attached) and two (Gabal El Hadid and Umm Nar) which are located outside of the Company's Bukari and Umm Samra concessions.
'These occurrences, including #8 Prospect of which we were not previously aware, is further proof of the widespread gold mineralization on the Bukari Concession,' said Paul Jones, President. 'This area has not been subject to any modern exploration programs and absolutely no sub-surface exploration subsequent to Pharaonic/Roman activity where mining was only conducted to an approximate depth of 10m. We are convinced that the region hosts significant potential for discovery.'
These occurrences are distinct from the previously-reported Bukari, Bukari North and Talat Gadalla gold occurrences which together comprise 11 kilometres of significantly gold-mineralized strike length in shear zone hosted quartz veins. At least ten samples have been collected from each of the occurrences tabulated below, all of which occur in a geological setting similar to Bukari, Bukari North and Talat Gadalla.

average grades on the property.
The grab samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex, at their laboratory in Rosia Montana, Romania, using their ME-MS61 method (four-acid dissolution, 48 element ICP-MS). Gold was assayed by the Au-AA25 method (fire assay-atomic absorption finish). 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.
