Nuinsco Finalizes Agreement on Second Egyptian Gold Concession Umm Samra Agreement a Positive Sign of Progress in Egypt

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 07/20/11 -- Nuinsco Resources Limited ('Nuinsco' or 'the Company') (TSX: NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that it has executed, through its Egyptian subsidiary Z-Gold Resources Limited ('Z-Gold'), a Concession Agreement with the Egyptian Mineral Resources Authority (EMRA) covering the Umm Samra gold Concession Area located in the Eastern Desert of Egypt.

Umm Samra, which covers 790 square kilometres and hosts at least seven gold occurrences, is the second Concession Agreement signed by Z-Gold since winning bids on the Bukari and Umm Samra gold concessions were announced in February 2010. The Bukari concession agreement was finalized in September 2010. As with Bukari, the Umm Samra Concession Agreement incorporates a production-sharing agreement and exempts the Company from payment of all taxes. It will now be reviewed by the Egyptian State Council before being passed into law. The Bukari concession agreement received State Council approval in February 2011.

'As the Umm Samra agreement was modelled on the Bukari document we expect rapid State Council approval,' said Nuinsco President Paul Jones. 'Finalizing the Umm Samra agreement with EMRA is a positive sign as it shows that progress is being made with respect to attracting foreign investment despite the current political situation in Egypt. We will continue to use all means at our disposal to push for final approval of both concession agreements as quickly as possible.'

Umm Samra and Bukari are located about 50 kilometres northwest of Centamin Egypt Limited's flagship multi-million ounce Sukari Gold Mine (see map attached) which is being expanded to increase production to about 500,000 oz per year over the next three years. Nuinsco has completed surface sampling programs at Bukari with assays peaking at 4.34 oz/tonne gold (see news release dated April 19, 2011).

As previously announced, the Company is pushing ahead with plans to create a new company focused on the Middle East North Africa ('MENA') region, NuMENA Minerals Corp. ('NuMENA'). NuMENA's mandate will be to acquire and explore mineral projects in the MENA region, including the Company's current properties in Egypt and Turkey. The Company intends to complete a spin-out of NuMENA to its shareholders before the end of 2011.
