TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Oct. 8, 2009) - Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (TSX:NWI) ([ www.nuinsco.ca ]) today announced that it is participating in Egypt's 2009 International Bid Round, an auction of gold exploration concessions administered by the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority ("EMRA").

Nuinsco's bid has been made in conjunction with Quartz Core Company, an Egyptian company. The bidding procedures being used for these gold concessions are similar to those used successfully for oil and gas properties in Egypt. All the concessions are located in the highly prospective Eastern Desert in central-eastern Egypt between the Red Sea coast and the Nile River. The 2009 International Bid Round covers exploration for gold and associated minerals.

The concessions on which Nuinsco is bidding encompass numerous named gold occurrences. Assuming a positive decision is announced, Nuinsco will prepare work plans to begin the process of systematically evaluating the concessions in the near term.

"Egypt's Eastern Desert is an underexplored region with exciting geology and tremendous potential that is just opening up," said Paul Jones, President. "Gold production dates to at least pharaonic times, virtually no recent exploration has been conducted and more than 95 in-situ occurrences are presently identified in the Eastern Desert. The opportunity to acquire projects in a region such as this doesn't come along every day and we are pleased to have taken the first step toward getting involved in gold exploration in Egypt."

Recent gold discoveries in the Eastern Desert by companies such as Centamin Egypt Limited ("Centamin"), have prompted a fundamental re-examination of the region's gold potential. Centamin's flagship property, the Sukari Gold Project, is located 15 km west of the Red Sea coast in the southern-central Eastern Desert of Egypt. Centamin estimates the current resource at Sukari at 9.91 million ounces of gold in measured and indicated reserves. A further 3.3 million ounces are contained in inferred resources (see Centamin news release dated July 14, 2009). The first gold pour at Sukari took place in June 2009.
