Nuinsco Announces the Passing of Director, George Archibald

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2013) - Nuinsco Resources Ltd. ("Nuinsco" or the "Company") (TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced with great sadness the death of Director George Archibald.

Mr. Archibald had served as a Director of Nuinsco since 1995, however his association with the Company and its predecessors began when he founded New Insco Mines in 1970 with H. Douglas Hume. During the course of a partnership that lasted over 30 years until Mr. Hume's death in 2003, Mr. Archibald and Mr. Hume teamed up to make seven discoveries, including their first in 1971, a massive sulphide copper deposit in Hebecourt Township, Quebec. Other discoveries included the Cameron Lake gold deposit; the Rainy River gold and nickel/copper deposits in northern Ontario; the Prairie Lake carbonatite near Marathon, Ontario; and the high-grade Lac Rocher nickel deposit in northern Quebec.

"I first met George in 1992, and immediately felt his passion for our business," said René Galipeau, Vice-Chairman and CEO. "He made me feel comfortable and was a big part of my incentive to get involved with him and Doug to take Nuinsco forward. George was not a vocal man, but when he spoke he had something meaningful to say. We had some exciting times with the discovery of Rainy River, the discovery of Lac Rocher, the advancement of Diabase and with Nuinsco's numerous other projects. It was great to see George excited over all of his projects. I will certainly miss George's support and his presence."

"As a mentor, colleague and friend I worked with George on numerous projects throughout Canada over a period of three decades," said Paul Jones, President. "In the past several years George acted as a sounding board, providing sage, no nonsense, well-informed, common sense advice on all aspects of our projects. Personally I will miss George greatly while our industry has lost a consummate practitioner."

"George contributed much to our industry as a geologist and mentor. As one of the founders of Nuinsco, he helped build a culture of excellence and success that is one of the most enduring in our industry. He carefully thought through issues and provided excellent advice. He will be missed by all of us," commented fellow Nuinsco director Dr. James M. Franklin.
