VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) ("VMS Ventures" or the "Company") is pleased
to announce that North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN) ("North American
Nickel" or "NAN"), issued a press release this morning announcing that Dr. Tony
Naldrett, Emeritus Professor at the University of Toronto, has joined the
Company's Advisory Board. VMS owns approximately 27.5% of NAN. The release is as
follows: 


"North American Nickel Inc. is pleased to announce that Dr. Tony Naldrett,
Emeritus Professor at the University of Toronto, has joined the Company's
Advisory Board. Dr. Naldrett is an internationally recognized and acclaimed
expert on magmatic (nickel, copper and platinum-group element) sulphide
mineralization. 


Over a career spanning more than forty years, Dr. Naldrett's research has
focused on magmatic sulphide deposits, the magmas from which they have formed,
the origin of these magmas in the mantle, the chemistry controlling the
segregation of sulphides from the magma, and the subsequent separation of
minerals from the cooling sulphides that are important in the beneficiation of
the ores. 


Recently, Dr. Naldrett was the featured speaker for NAN's Greenland and
Copenhagen lecture series on nickel sulphide deposits, with a focus on Greenland
where NAN is exploring its 5100 square kilometer 100% owned Maniitsoq property
in south west Greenland. While in Greenland, he was able to inspect Maniitsoq
project drill core, which is stored in Nuuk. 


Rick Mark, CEO of North American Nickel states: "We are honored that Dr.
Naldrett has agreed to join the Company's Advisory Board and become part of a
growing team providing guidance to the immediate and long term development of
our Maniitsoq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM sulphide project. Literally, he has been
on the ground of all the significant nickel sulphide deposits in the world. His
understanding of these very complex systems is unparalled and he will be a great
help to the Company's technical team, as they explore and develop what we
believe can be the world's next nickel sulphide camp." 


Dr. Naldrett's work has always had a firm foundation in actual deposits. It has
led him and his research teams to visit and investigate some of the world's
classic nickel-copper-platinum group metal deposits in many parts of the world
including, in addition to Canada and the US, Russia, China, Australia, South
Africa, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Norway, Finland, Italy and Brazil. He has supervised
15 M.Sc. and 16 Ph.D. students and 15 Postdoctoral Fellows during his career. 


This remarkable on ground experience has resulted in his authoring, or
co-authoring, over 240 refereed papers and 8 books. He has also served as
President of the Mineralogical Association of Canada, the Society of Economic
Geologists, the International Mineralogical Association and the Geological
Society of America and as Chairman of UNESCO's International Geological
Cooperation Programme. 


North American Nickel would also like to announce that it has granted incentive
stock options to certain consultants and/or employees of the Company to purchase
up 200,000 common shares in the capital of the Company pursuant to the Company's
stock option plan. The options are exercisable, on or before September 30, 2018,
at an exercise price of $0.37 per share.
