Nuinsco Shareholders Overwhelmingly Approve Creation of Victory Nickel Inc.

Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nuinsco” or the “Company”)(TSX: NWI) (www.nuinsco.ca) today announced that the shareholders of Nuinsco overwhelmingly approved the previously announced plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) involving Nuinsco and a new company, Victory Nickel Inc. (“Victory Nickel”). Of the votes cast at Nuinsco’s Special Meeting of Shareholders on January 26, 2007, 99.77% were in favour of the Arrangement. Nuinsco and Victory Nickel have agreed to complete the Arrangement pursuant to which, on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the arrangement agreement, Nuinsco’s interest in the Minago, Mel and Lac Rocher sulphide nickel projects together with approximately $12,000,000 in cash will be transferred to Victory Nickel.

The completion of the Arrangement is conditional upon, among other things, the approval by the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and receipt of all other regulatory and third-person consents and approvals required in connection with the Arrangement, including for the transfer by Nuinsco of the mineral resource property interests to Victory Nickel. The Company is scheduled to appear before Ontario Superior Court of Justice on February 1, 2007. Assuming all further approvals are received, the Company expects Victory Nickel shares will begin trading on the TSX under the ticker symbol Ni on or about February 6, 2007.

Upon completion of the Arrangement, Nuinsco will continue to hold a 25% interest in Victory Nickel, mineral resource property interests located in Canada and Turkey which include the Diabase Peninsula and Prairie Lake uranium projects and Cameron Lake gold project in Canada and the Berta copper-gold and Elmalaan copper-zinc projects in Turkey, along with an equity interest in copper and gold producer Campbell Resources Limited. Nuinsco will continue to be well financed with cash on hand of approximately $8,000,000.

“We are very pleased to report that our shareholders agree with management that the creation of Victory Nickel represents a first step in releasing asset values. We believe that Victory Nickel will become Canada’s next major nickel company,” said Rene Galipeau, Vice-Chairman and CEO of Nuinsco. “We will continue to advance the assets of both Nuinsco and Victory Nickel with aggressive exploration and development programs which should generate positive results and a steady news flow throughout 2007.”
