Paul Jones to become CEO and Director, Sean Stokes Executive Vice-President

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Sept. 17, 2013) - Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or the "Company")(TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved several changes to the board and senior management structure.

Effective September 30, 2013, René Galipeau will step down as the Company's Chief Executive Officer. Coincident with this, Paul Jones will be named CEO and Sean Stokes will become Executive Vice-President. These changes will allow Mr. Galipeau to focus on his roles as Vice-Chairman, Director and Chief Executive Officer of Victory Nickel Inc., in which Nuinsco has a significant financial interest, as Victory Nickel advances its entry into the frac sand business.

At the same time Bob Wardell will resign as Chairman of the Board, remaining a director of the Company, and be succeeded in that role by Mr. Galipeau as non-executive Chairman. The Board of Directors thanks Mr. Wardell for his contribution as Chairman of the Board and is pleased that he will remain a Director. Mr. Jones has also been appointed to the Board of Directors, effective immediately.

"René has been associated with Nuinsco for over 20 years and has been vital in driving the Company forward during some very challenging times, creating value from assets that were not being recognized by the market and putting in place a cohesive and talented management team since taking on the role of CEO in June 2006," said Chairman Bob Wardell. "René's day-to-day presence will be missed but his guidance will remain as Chairman of the Board. Paul has been involved in numerous mineral discoveries during the course of his career and his expertise, combined with the varied talents that Sean brings, will enable the Company to take advantage of the many domestic and international opportunities that exist in the metals and mining sector today. We welcome Paul as CEO and look forward to his leadership as Nuinsco moves into the next phase of its development."

Mr. Jones has been associated with the Company since 1983, and was appointed President in October 2007. He holds a B.Sc. (Honours Geology) degree from Carleton University and has completed graduate level courses in economic geology/metallic mineral deposits as well as studies in economic theory and operations research. He is registered professionally with the Association of Professional Engineers, Geologists, and Geophysicists of the Northwest Territories (NAPEGG) and the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario (APGO) and is a member of the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada and the Society of Economic Geologists.

Mr. Stokes joined Nuinsco in 2006, and has been Vice-President, Corporate Affairs & Corporate Secretary since June 2008. He has over 25 years of business development, finance and communications experience with a broad range of publicly traded and private companies primarily in the metals and mining sector. In his new role Mr. Stokes, well advanced in obtaining his MBA designation, will work closely with Mr. Jones in a number of areas including business development, strategic planning, corporate finance and corporate administration.
