Nuinsco Receives Further Positive Drill Results From Berta Project

Mon. October 20, 2008; Posted: 09:00 AM
TORONTO, ONTARIO, Oct 20, 2008 (Marketwire via COMTEX) -- NUIRF | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco")(TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced continued positive results from drilling at its Berta Project in northeastern Turkey. Assays from the second hole of the 2008 program returned intervals grading up to 5.07% copper over 4.5m which, in combination with past drilling, continues to delineate a large volume of strongly mineralized rock of unknown dimensions, open in all directions.


"We are very pleased with the drill results we are seeing at Berta and are getting a clear picture that we are dealing with a porphyry system of substantial size," said Paul Jones, President. "The assays from DDH SD-08-10 were comparable to those reported from previous drill holes, and highlight the enormous potential of the under explored Berta project."

DDH SD-08-10 returned 164.0m grading 0.20% Cu and 0.06g/t Au between 250.5m and 414.5m. Additional significant results are tabulated below. All analyses were conducted by ALS-Chemex through their preparation lab in Izmir, Turkey.

------------------------------------... From To Interval Cu Au Ag (m) (m) (m) (%) (g/t) (g/t) ------------------------------------... 129.7 153.1 23.4 0.61 0.19 - Including 138.6 144.05 5.45 1.63 0.54 17 250.5 414.5 164.0 0.20 0.06 - 579.5 584.0 4.5 5.07 0.19 1.6 ------------------------------------...

As with drill holes SD-07-08 and SD-08-09, SD-08-10 was collared to test a broad geophysical anomaly identified in the northern part of the altered and mineralized geology at Berta. The 777.0m drill hole was collared 400m south of SD-07-08 and 570m southeast of SD-08-09. Sulphide mineralization in all of the drill holes occurs as fracture fillings and disseminations; locally dense fracturing results in sulphide content exceeding 20%. The orientation of the mineralized domain is presently unknown and the assay intervals reported here are core length intervals. The relative abundance of copper, zinc and lead mineralization, the distribution of alteration and the rock types encountered in earlier short drill holes all suggest that previous drilling has tested the upper, outer edges of a large porphyry system. Importantly, drilling has identified elevated molybdenum values at depth in both SD-06-07 and SD-07-08.

The Berta Property is located approximately 50 kilometres south of the Black Sea in northeastern Turkey, within the prolifically mineralized Tethyan-Eurasian Metalogenic Belt which hosts numerous ore deposits in several countries including Iran's Sarcheshmeh Mine, one of the world's largest copper mines at 1.2 billion tonnes grading about 1% copper. The Berta porphyry is reputed to be the largest copper anomaly in the Turkish Pontides, covering 15 square kilometres and at least 1,000 metres of vertical elevation. Nuinsco recently signed a binding term sheet with Xstrata Copper ("Xstrata") one of the commodity business units within Xstrata plc (London Stock Exchange: XTA.L and Zurich Stock Exchange: XTRZn.S) giving Nuinsco the right to acquire the 50% interest in the Berta Property held by Xstrata. The 2008 drill program was operated by Xstrata. P.L. Jones, President, acts as Nuinsco's Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
