NUINSCO RESOURCES LIMITED - DRILLING COMMENCES AT LAC ROCHER; NUINSCO HIRES INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT Symbol: NWI TORONTO, ONTARIO Nuinsco Resources Limited announced today that it has engaged the services of Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. of Toronto, an independent firm of geological and mining consultants, to advise the Company on the establishment and monitoring of exploration work practices at Lac Rocher. Protocol parameters include drill hole sampling, core handling, assaying and general security. A representative from the firm will be on the Nuinsco site as required. William E. Roscoe, Ph.D., P.Eng, President of Roscoe Postle Associates, said that part of the reason Nuinsco is taking such precautions on its own initiative is to ensure that the Company adheres to the exploration work practices in the recent TSE/OSE Mining Standards Task Force Final Report. Drill core will be sawed on-site at Lac Rocher and assayed at a reputable commercial laboratory. The Company has commenced their exploration program at Lac Rocher, having completed the winter road and established a temporary campsite. Initially, assays from diamond drill holes will be released as soon as they are available.
