NAN North American Nickel Inc

North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF)(CUSIP:65704T 108) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce that drill and camp contracts have been
awarded for 2014 exploration at its 100% owned Maniitsoq
nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM project in Southwest Greenland. 


Cartwright Drilling Inc. of Goose Bay in Central Labrador, Newfoundland and
Labrador has been awarded the Diamond Drilling contract and Xploration Services
Greenland ApS of Nuuk, Greenland has been awarded the Logistics/Camp contract.
Both companies are highly experienced in Greenland exploration operations and
have been part of previous exploration campaigns for the company.


DRILLING PROGRAM 

For the upcoming drill season North American Nickel is planning a two drill
program at its Maniitsoq project. The first drill is set to test immediate down
plunge extensions of nickel sulphide mineralization as defined by the 2012/2013
drill campaigns and the associated Crone three-component borehole
electromagnetic (BHEM) geophysical surveys at the Imiak Hill Conduit Complex
(IHCC) focusing on:




--  Imiak Hill, drilling down plunge of drill hole MQ-13-028, (see figure 1,
    Nov, 2013) which intersected 24.75 metres of near massive to massive
    sulphide grading 3.19% Ni, 1.14% Cu, 0.11% Co, including; 
    
    --  17.91m of 3.80% nickel, 1.42% copper, 0.13% cobalt and 0.01 g/t PGM 
        
--  Imiak North, drilling down plunge of drill hole MQ-13-029, (see figure
    2, Nov, 2013) which intersected 55.75m of disseminated to near massive
    and massive sulphide grading: 1.28% nickel, 0.36% copper, 0.04% cobalt,
    and 0.03 g/t PGM, including; 
    
    --  9.99m of 4.65% nickel, 0.33% copper, 0.13% cobalt and 0.08 g/t PGM 
        
--  Spotty Hill, drilling down plunge of drill hole MQ-12-005, (see figure
    3, Nov, 2013) which intersected 123.94 meters of disseminated, net-
    texture, to near massive and massive sulphide grading: 0.81% nickel,
    0.21% copper, 0.03% cobalt & 0.26 g/t platinum (Pt) + palladium (Pd) +
    gold (Au), including: 
    
    --  24.20 m @ 1.75% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.06% Co & 0.52 g/t Pt+Pd+Au. 



Before final decisions on targeting the drills at the IHCC (see figure 4, Nov,
2013) are made, NAN's exploration team will analyse the results of the ground
geophysics Deep Penetrating Electromagnetic (DPEM) and Gravity surveys scheduled
to begin in mid-April at the IHCC.


The second drill will focus on priority regional EM exploration targets
commencing at a new target 25 kilometres to the northwest of the IHCC called
Pingo. It is a historical showing that graded 1.09% Ni and 1.00% Cu in a
mineralized grab sample within a norite host rock. NAN geologists will meet in
early April to finalize the list of regional exploration targets to be drill
tested this year.


Drill and support crews will be on the ground on June 7th with drilling
scheduled to start approximately June 10th.


Cartwright Drilling Inc. was established in 1995 and has been servicing the
mining/exploration industry with lightweight, fully hydraulic custom built
drills. Cartwright has drilled in Greenland continuously since 2004, sometimes

occurrences associated with norite and other mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the
Greenland Norite Belt (GNB). The greater than 75km-long belt is situated along,
and near, the southwest coast of Greenland, which is pack ice free year round. 


The Post Creek/Halcyon property in Sudbury is strategically located adjacent to
the past producing Podolsky copper-nickel-platinum group metal deposit of KGHM
International Ltd. 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.
