TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / June 10, 2019 / Nuinsco Resources Limited (''Nuinsco'' or the ''Company'') (CSE: NWI) reports the identification of up to 15 metre widths in drill core of high-grade rare earth element (REE) domains in iron-rich carbonatite rock (ferrocarbonatite) at its 100%-owned Prairie Lake project near Terrace Bay, Ontario.

''Carbonatites contain the highest REE content of any igneous rock making them attractive exploration targets for REE mineralization, and ferrocarbonatites are usually particularly enriched with respect to REEs,'' said Paul Jones, CEO of Nuinsco. ''These domains are assumed to be late stage intrusions into the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex, and their presence is an indicator that other, similar intrusions are possible. As previously reported the Prairie Lake complex has unusually high concentrations of REEs in apatite, in particular neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) (see news release of June 6, 2019); the REE conte nt with high proportional Nd2O3 content in association with other mineral commodities of economic interest in the Exploration Target (''ET'') makes it very attractive for further investigation.''

Holes NP 1006 and 1007 were drilled in the southwest part of the Prairie Lake complex, an area dominated by carbonatite mineralization. Assays were as follows:

Drill holes NP 1006 and 1007 contain the mineral ancylite, a strontium-rich REE-carbonate with high concentrations (typically >50wt%) of rare earth oxides. Accompanying the ancylite mineralization is burbankite (another REE-carbonate mineral), and strontianite (SrCO3).

The Prairie Lake project consists of nine mineral claims covering an area of 608 ha. Logistically Prairie Lake is superbly located, with ready access to power, road, rail and shipping infrastructure; it is easily accessed by an all-weather road from the TransCanada Highway 28 kilometres to the south. The mineralization identified is entirely contained wi thin the Prairie Lake carbonatite complex, presently an ET of 515-630 million tonnes defined by 46 diamond drill holes with grades as tabulated below.

1 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.

P.L. Jones, P. Geol., is a qualified person as defined by NI 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the technical contents of this press release regarding the Prairie Lake project.
