TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/12 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ('Nuinsco' or 'the Company') (TSX: NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that it has negotiated, subject to TSX approval, a non-brokered private placement of up 7,143,000 flow-through units at a subscription price of $0.14 per unit for gross proceeds of up to $1 million.

Each unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of one warrant, each issued on a flow-through basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada). Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase one non-flow-through common share of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of 18 months from closing.

The Company has agreed to pay finder's fees equal to 6% of subscription amounts found, plus issue finder's warrants in an amount equal to 6% of units purchased, with each such finder's warrant to be exercisable into one common share of the Company at a price of $0.14 for a period of 18 months from closing.

The proceeds of the financing will be used for exploration of properties in and near Chibougamau, Quebec. Nuinsco holds its Quebec properties in C-Bay Minerals Inc. ('C-Bay'), which is jointly owned by Nuinsco and Ocean Partners Holdings Limited. C-Bay's land position covers 96,000 acres, giving it a dominant position in Quebec's Chibougamau Mining Camp. Chibougamau is located about 500 km north of Montreal where copper and gold production in the camp dates back to the early 1900s (see news release dated February 15, 2012).

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 copper and/or gold 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 from government authorities in Egypt and elsewhere, and other development and operating risks.
