NAN North American Nickel Inc

North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108)
(the "Company") 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 exploration 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."

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 4,983
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.
