TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2019 / Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (CSE:NWI), at the request of IIROC, wishes to clarify statements made in its news release issued earlier today regarding its 100%-owned Prairie Lake project ("Prairie Lake") near Marathon in northwestern Ontario. Prairie Lake recently received a listing by the Organic Minerals Research Institute ("OMRI") of the project's calcium carbonate rock for use as a soil amendment and in organic food production or food processing and handling according to the USDA's National Organic Program regulations.
The Prairie Lake project encompasses an Exploration Target ("ET") of 515-630 million tonnes defined by 46 diamond drill holes with grades as tabulated below. 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.

No mineral resource or economic evaluation demonstrating the economic viability and technical feasibility of the Prairie Lake project at any level of confidence has been completed on the project.

Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause the actual results of Nuinsco to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements, and even if such actual results are realized or substantially realized, there can be no assurance that they will have the expected consequences to, or effects on Nuinsco. Factors that could cause actual results or events to differ materially from current expectations include, among other things, failure to successfully complete financings, capital and other costs varying significantly from estimates, production rates varying from estimates, changes in world commodities markets, changes in equity markets, uncertainties relating to the availability and costs of financing needed in the future, equipment failure, unexpected geological conditions, imprecision in resource estimates, success of future development initiatives, competition, operating performance of facilities, environmental and safety risks, delays in obtaining or failure to obtain tenure to properties and/or necessary permits and approvals, and other development and operating risks.
