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 it has
received preliminary results from this year's VTEM Plus helicopter borne
geophysical survey. VMS Ventures owns approximately 23.9% of NAN. The release is
as follows:


"North American Nickel Inc. is pleased to announce that it has received
preliminary results from this year's VTEM Plus helicopter borne geophysical
survey completed at its 100% owned Maniitsoq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM project in
Southwest Greenland.


A total of 917.3 line-kilometres were flown in nine survey blocks (A1 to A9 in
Figure 1) resulting in a total of 389 electromagnetic (EM) responses being
detected. A preliminary review of the survey results by the Company has
identified one hundred new conductor zones. These target zones will be field
checked in 2014 and targets with higher nickel sulphide potential will be added
to the growing drill target list at Maniitsoq.


The purpose of the 2013 VTEM Plus survey was threefold:

1) To obtain EM and magnetic coverage over areas which contain norite and other
mafic-ultramafic intrusions that might be associated with economic nickel
sulphide mineralization. All these new EM targets are outside the Greenland
Norite Belt, which has been the focus of the Company's exploration work for the
past 3 years;


2) To obtain deeper EM penetration over prospective areas that were surveyed in
2011 with SkyTEM (the new VTEM Plus system has four times the dipole moment of
the 2011 SkyTEM system); and


3) To detail other conductors of interest detected by previous VTEM and SkyTEM
surveys.


NAN CEO, Rick Mark, states: "The market has been focused on the Imiak Hill
Conduit Complex the past three months and rightly so, as the high grade drill
results around Imiak have been outstanding. Today, we want to remind investors
that our 100% owned Maniitsoq property, which is larger than the Sudbury basin,
has the potential to host the world's next sulphide nickel-copper-cobalt camp.
These preliminary airborne results bolster that belief and provide us with a new
array of targets to analyze and prepare for in 2014."


From the preliminary data, the most interesting conductors are those associated
with the Pingo norite in flight block A1 (Figure 2). The Pingo norite is
situated 24 km northeast of the Imiak Hill Conduit Complex, where the Company
has recently made significant nickel sulphide intersections (e.g. 24.75m @ 3.19%
Ni and 1.14% Cu in hole MQ-13-028 at Imiak Hill).


The Pingo norite is a northeast-striking, dyke-like intrusion approximately 30
to 80 metres wide exposed intermittently over a distance of more than four
kilometres. Numerous rusty zones, containing trace to 5% disseminated sulphides,
occur throughout the intrusion. The strongest EM response occurs over strike
lengths of up to 200 metres immediately along strike of the Pingo norite
(conductors P-146 and 233 in Figure 2) and are the highest priority targets in
the block. Additionally a moderate 300 metre-long VTEM conductor (P-149 in
Figure 2) occurs near the centre of the norite. From historical drill data the
Pingo Norite is known to be nickeliferous.


The final databases for the 2013 VTEM surveys are expected in before year-end
and detailed analysis and target rankings based on this data will be carried out
early in the New Year. The survey was flown by Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario
and nominal flight line spacing ranged from 100 to 200 metres. Condor Consulting
of Lakewood, Colorado monitored the survey for quality control and identified EM
anomalies in the preliminary datasets.

subject to receipt of required permits, is scheduled for production in Q4-2013,
Copper Project, McClarty Lake Project, Sails Lake Project, Puella Bay Project
and Morton Lake Project. Outside of the Snow Lake camp, the Company holds
massive sulphide prospective properties near the past producing Fox Lake and
Ruttan copper-zinc mines, near the communities of Lynn Lake and Leaf Rapids in
northern Manitoba. These properties are located in the mining friendly province
of Manitoba, Canada. The Company also has optioned the Black Creek property in
the Sudbury mining camp.


VMS Ventures owns approximately 23.9% of North American Nickel Inc. (TSX
