TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/12 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (TSX:NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that it has entered into a loan agreement with an arm's-length party (the "Lender"), pursuant to which, the Lender will provide the Company with a non-revolving term loan in the principal amount of up to $2,500,000 (the "Facility").

"Nuinsco recently shored up its treasury, without diluting shareholders, through the sale of the Cameron Gold Project royalty for US$5.1 million," said Rene Galipeau, Vice-Chairman and CEO. "This $2.5 million loan facility provides Nuinsco with further financial resources in what is a very difficult financing market for junior companies, and enhances the Company's ability to participate in potential transactions with the potential to generate cash flow in the very near term."

The Facility can be drawn down in minimum amounts of $500,000, with $1,500,000 immediately available and the balance available starting six months from closing. The Facility matures in 18 months with the availability of one six-month extension (subject to the payment by Nuinsco of a specified fee), bears an interest rate of 11.5% per annum and is secured by all the shares of CBay Minerals Inc. owned by Nuinsco.

As consideration for providing the Facility, Nuinsco paid to the Lender a facility fee of $50,000 and will issue to the Lender 3,634,777 common shares of Nuinsco.
