High REE and Niobium / Phosphate Potential
The surrounding area of Nuinsco Resources Carbonatite section has high potential for economical discoveries. Assays results from the Lab returned grades of 1.07 % and up to 3.27 % rare earth and up to 1.64% Nb205 - 20.6% P205, 0.12% U308 - 5.01% P205. Given the current market conditions for rare earths and the urgency to find alternative sources, our newly discovered targets do bear geophysical and geochemical signatures.

Nuinsco starts trenching at Prairie Lake
2010-06-01 11:52 ET - News Release
Mr. Paul Jones reports
NUINSCO LOOKS TO INCREASE 330-360 MILLION TONNE ETMI AT PRAIRIE LAKE
Nuinsco Resources Ltd. has begun a large-scale trenching program to totaling over two kilometres at its 100-per-cent-owned Prairie Lake project in northwestern Ontario. This program focuses on parts of the property that to date have seen little or no systematic exploration and are not included in the 330- to 360-million-tonne exploration target mineralization inventory estimate which was announced earlier this year.
"The ETMI released in January demonstrates the huge scale and potential economic significance of this multi commodity deposit. However, with only 12 per cent of the total surface area of the Prairie Lake complex included in the ETMI, we have barely scratched the surface," said Nuinsco's president, Paul Jones. "The ambitious trenching program will provide exposure in areas of the intrusive complex where no diamond drilling whatsoever has been conducted (the north and east). Results of systematic trench sampling will be used to develop additional work plans aimed at further evaluating the subsurface potential of the project."

Prairie Lake Properties Location and Access:
The Prairie Lake South Property consist of 207 contiguous unpatented mining claims, located approximately 45
kilometers northwest of Marathon and 28 km north of Hwy. 17. The property is
readily accessible from Trans- Canada Highway 17 - Dead Horse Road. The
Dead Horse Road cut the main part of the Property in the northern section and
the southern section of the property is accessibly true logging Roads.
Prairie Lake South Property:
The Prairie Lake South Property consists of 7 unpatented contiguous mining
claims ( 99 units, 1,584 hectare ) recorded in good standing in Thunder Bay
Mining Division within the Killala Lake Twp. G-0596 .
Claims/units:
4246258 (12), 4246259 (16), 4246260 (16), 4246261 (16), 4246262 (16),

Prairie Lake West Property:
Prairie Lake North Property:
The Prairie Lake West Property consists of 6 unpatented contiguous mining claims ( 71 units, 1,136 hectare ) recorded in good standing in Thunder Bay Mining Division within the Killala Lake Twp. G‑0596

Prairie Lake Carbonatite:
Heavy minerals associated with carbonatite were recovered from several samples. Of particular interest is sample 16-MA-99. This modern alluvium sample yielded a large number and variety of heavy minerals similar to those recovered from the Prairie Lake Cabonatite. In addition, several other heavy mineral types, also found at the Molycorp Pass Carbonatite in northern California, were recovered. The Molycorp Mountain Pass Carbonatite is of particular interest as it is a major supplier of rare earth metals to the world and has been since the early 1950s. Barite, synchysite and bastnaesitite are the 3 important minerals associated with the California deposit which measures only 200-300 feet across. To test whether the mineral signature of the modern alluvium sample were derived from the Prairie Lake Carbonatite, which occurs up ice, 2 bedrock samples were taken close to the sample site. The minerals derived from these bedrock samples confirmed that the modern alluvium mineral signatures were local and similar to that reported from the Molycorp Mountain Pass Carbonatite.
