"North American Nickel Inc.is pleased to announce that it has been notified by
the Greenland Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum that its application to expand
mineral exploration licence 2012/28 by 123 square kilometers has been accepted.
The text of the new licence agreement is expected from the Greenland Government
shortly. The expansion will bring the total area covered by the project to 5,106
square kilometers. 


Licence 2012/28 is one of two contiguous licences that comprise the Maniitsoq
project and the expansion consists of the six separate blocks outlined in red on
the 2013 land claims map available on our website www.northamericannickel.com.
The blocks are contiguous with the Company's current land holdings and they fill
gaps in the project area that, until recently, belonged to an exploration
company focused on diamond exploration. Many of the blocks contain exposures of
norite, the rock type most commonly associated with nickel and copper sulphide
mineralization at Maniitsoq. Many of the blocks also contain outcrops of
kimberlite dykes. 


NAN CEO, Rick Mark, states: "With the acquisition of this new ground, North
American Nickel now controls over 90% of the highly prospective Greenland Norite
Belt. The Company currently has field crews and a diamond drill rig operating on
the project and is drill testing targets throughout the norite belt." 


Qualified Person 

All technical information in this release has been reviewed by Dr. Mark Fedikow,
P.Geo, who is the Qualified Person for the Company and President, North American
Nickel Inc."
