North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF) (CUSIP:65704T 108) 
(the "Company") is pleased to announce that diamond drill hole MQ-13-028 at
Imiak Hill intersected a 24.75 metre core length of near solid-solid sulphide
mineralization averaging approximately 35 - 40% total sulphides within noritic
host rocks. The Maniitsoq nickel-copper-cobalt & PGM project in southwest
Greenland contains the 70km long Greenland Norite Belt (GNB) and is 100% owned
by North American Nickel.


The intersection in MQ-13-028 is the deepest of four significant sulphide
intersections made at Imiak Hill this year and extends Zone 30's significant
near solid to solid sulphide mineralization approx. 35 metres further down
plunge from hole MQ-12-026 to an overall vertical depth of 185 metres. (See
figures 1, 2 and 3). The mineralization remains open at depth. 


The sulphides in MQ-12-028 were contained within two intervals of mineralized
norite. The first is 17.91m long and averages 40-45% sulphide and the second is
2.40m long and contains 50-60% sulphide. The two intervals are separated by
4.44m of leucogabbro. The entire intersection is summarized in the table below.

Note: the visual percent sulphide estimates and descriptions in this news   
release are not intended to suggest grades of contained metals, which will  
require assaying to determine. Mineral percentages are volume not weight.   



MQ-13-028 was drilled to test an extremely strong "step response" type of
anomaly extending below the diamond drill hole MQ-13-026, which intercepted
18.62 m of mineralized norite containing an average of 40 to 45% total sulphides
within Zone 30 at Imiak Hill (see NAN August 23/13 press release for details on
Zone 30 and the previous three intersections). 


MQ-13-028 was surveyed with a 3 component bore hole EM (BHEM) system and this
mineralization has also produced an extremely strong "step response" type of
anomaly. The interpretation of the anomaly, by Crone Geophysics and Exploration
Ltd, indicates that the mineralization continues further down plunge at Imiak
Hill. Drill core for MQ-13-028 has been logged, samples sawed in half and
shipped to ALS Chemex in Sweden for analysis. 


NAN CEO, Rick Mark, states: "We are extremely pleased with the continuity of the
near solid to solid sulphide mineralization at Imiak Hill that we have
discovered this year. It has now been intersected from near surface to below 185
metres in depth and the borehole survey tells us it remains open down plunge.
That fits the nickel deposit model we are following. The Company's technical
team, led by COO Neil Richardson, Chief Geologist John Pattison and Project
Manager James Sparling, continues to deliver results for our shareholders."


As described in the August 23/13 press release, NAN has now delineated three,
closely spaced, north-trending, near vertically dipping, steeply south-plunging
mineralized zones at Imiak Hill. From east to west the zones have been
provisionally named 10, 20 and 30 as shown in plan in Figure 1 and in three
dimensions in Figure 2. The mineralization in MQ-13-028 correlates with Zone 30,
as do the other three sulphide intersections made at Imiak in 2013. A composite
longitudinal section through Imiak Hill showing the locations of all
intersections to date is included in Figure 3. 


Since commencing the 2013 field program in late June, NAN has drilled 22 holes
totaling 3,711 meters at Maniitsoq. The drill has now been moved from Imiak Hill
to test other high priority, norite-associated electromagnetic anomalies prior
to the end of the field season.


Collar coordinates for all of the Company's drill holes at Imiak are listed in
the table below.

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 5,106
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. 


Statements about the Company's future expectations and all other statements in
this press release other than historical facts are "forward looking statements"
