Nuinsco and Victory Nickel Announce Guidance for Computation of the Shareholders' Adjusted Cost Base for New Shares Issued Under Plan of Arrangement

Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco") (TSX: NWI) and Victory Nickel Inc. ("Victory Nickel") (TSX: NI) announce their guidance regarding the computation of shareholders' adjusted cost base for Canadian tax purposes in connection with the arrangement (the "Arrangement") involving Nuinsco and Victory. Pursuant to the Arrangement, each shareholder of Nuinsco received one new common share ("New Nuinsco Common Share") of Nuinsco and 0.75 of a common share ("Victory Nickel Common Share") of Victory Nickel for each common share ("Old Nuinsco Common Share") of Nuinsco held by such shareholder at the close of business on February 5, 2007. In order to compute the adjusted cost base for Canadian tax purposes of the New Nuinsco Common Shares and the Victory Nickel Common Shares received under the Arrangement, the Company recommends that shareholders should apportion the adjusted cost base of the Old Nuinsco Common Shares immediately before the Arrangement on the following basis: 58.8% allocated to the New Nuinsco Common Shares and 41.2% to the Victory Nickel Common Shares.

Pursuant to the Arrangement, Nuinsco's interest in the Minago, Mel and Lac Rocher sulphide nickel projects, together with approximately $12,000,000 in cash was acquired by Victory Nickel. Nuinsco continues to hold a 25% interest in Victory Nickel; its non-nickel property interests, which include the Diabase Peninsula and Prairie Lake uranium properties and Cameron Lake gold deposit in Canada and the Berta copper-gold porphyry and Elmalaan copper-zinc properties in Turkey; its Campbell Resources Inc. (Campbell) investment including approximately 11% of the outstanding Campbell shares; and certain other assets, including approximately $8,000,000 in cash.
