NUINSCO TO BEGIN DRILLING AT DIABASE PENINSULA URANIUM PROJECT

Nuinsco Resources Ltd. is planning to drill in early March at its Diabase Peninsula uranium project. The drill program will follow up on past exploration that identified all the elements indicative of a uranium mineralizing event, including up to 707 parts per million uranium.

"We have all the signs," said Paul Jones, president of Nuinsco. "Our objective now is to drill to find the uranium deposit."

To date, Nuinsco has drilled 38 holes on the project, totalling 15,787 metres. Of these, a remarkable 13 holes have returned samples with very substantial uranium content exceeding 50 ppm (greater than 10 ppm uranium in sandstone is evidence of a mineralized system and proximity to concentrations of high-grade mineralization). In total, 26 drill holes have returned values greater than 10 ppm uranium -- serving to further reinforce and highlight the outstanding scale of anomalous mineralization at Diabase.

"Such a high proportion of drill holes intersecting strongly anomalous uranium mineralizaton suggests that the potential for a deposit in the immediate vicinity is a distinct possibility," added Mr. Jones.

The Diabase Peninsula project is located in the south-central part of Saskatchewan's Athabasca basin, home to the highest-grade uranium deposits in the world. A combination of uranium, arsenic, nickel, cobalt and magnesium oxide is typical of the mines in the Athabasca basin. The widespread presence this combination of elements in the holes drilled by Nuinsco indicates the influence of a mineralizing system in the area.

The upcoming drill program, designed after consultation with several experts familiar with uranium exploration in the Athabasca basin, will target the contact between the sandstone layer and underlying graphite-bearing basement rocks -- the prime site for the occurrence of uranium deposits in the Athabasca basin.

The 21,959-hectare Diabase Peninsula project is located approximately five kilometres north of the southern boundary of the Athabasca basin. It encompasses a 35-kilometre strike length above the regional-scale Cable Bay shear zone deformation zone in the basement rock units below the basin sandstone.

Nuinsco is the operator, currently owns an approximate 89-per-cent interest in the property and is partnered with Trend Mining Company. C.A. Wagg, manager, Canadian exploration, for Nuinsco, who acts as a qualified person for the project under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed the technical contents of this press release.
