NAN North American Nickel Inc

North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) 
(the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has begun on its
100% owned Maniitsoq project. A minimum of 3,000 meters is planned and it will
focus on testing high priority VTEM electromagnetic (EM) anomalies defined
within the 70 km-long Greenland Norite Belt and on following up the multiple
high-grade nickel sulphide intersections drilled by NAN last year at Imiak Hill
and the Spotty Hill discovery. 


NAN CEO Rick Mark states: "The full team is now in Greenland and helicopter
supported fieldwork, including channel sampling and ground truthing of anomalies
is underway. The drill team has also begun its work and is supported by a second
helicopter. The plan is flexible allowing us to stay in areas that produce core
of interest to the geologists on site. COO Neil Richardson is leading the crew.
We are planning to ship core samples weekly out of Maniitsoq. It will be an
exciting summer for all of us."


The drilling will be done with a helicopter-portable drill contracted from
Westcore Drilling Ltd. A borehole pulse EM (BHEM) system, supplied and operated
by Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd., is on site. It is anticipated that most
holes will be surveyed with the BHEM system, which greatly increases the search
radius of the holes, allowing geologists to target follow-up holes more
precisely. The system can also be used for surface surveying in the event that
an EM anomaly requires more detailing prior to drilling.


Throughout the summer field crews will continue to map, prospect, sample and
evaluate VTEM anomalies on surface. Approximately 660 line-km of VTEM helicopter
time domain EM surveying is planned for later in the season. The survey will be
flown by Geotech Ltd. and will cover several areas of interest outside the main
norite belt.


Details on the 2012 Imiak and Spotty Hill intersections can be found in NAN's
press release dated January 15, 2013. An outline of some of the priority targets
for this year's drill campaign is given in NAN's press release dated March 20,
2013.

About North American Nickel

North American Nickel is a mineral exploration company with 100% owned
properties in Maniitsoq, Greenland, Sudbury, Ontario, and the Thompson, Manitoba
nickel belt. VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) owns approximately 27.5% of
NAN.


The Maniitsoq property in Greenland is a Camp scale project comprising 4,983
square km's covering numerous high-grade nickel-copper sulphide occurrences
associated with norite and other mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the Greenland
Norite Belt (GNB). The 70km plus long belt is situated along, and near, the
southwest coast of Greenland, which is pack ice free year round. 


The first two discoveries of economic mineralization at Imiak Hill and Spotty
Hill confirm the high value and potential of the GNB.


The Post Creek/Halcyon property in Sudbury is strategically located adjacent to
the producing Podolsky copper-nickel-platinum group metal deposit of Quadra FNX
Mining. The property lies along the extension of the Whistle Offset dyke
structure. Such geological structures host major Ni-Cu-PGM deposits and
producing mines within the Sudbury Camp.
