NAN North American Nickel Inc

North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF)(CUSIP:65704T 108) (the
"Company") is pleased to announce Crone Geophysics of Mississauga, Ontario has
been awarded Electromagnetic and Gravity surveys, scheduled to start in
mid-April at the Company's 100% owned Maniitsoq nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM project
in southwest Greenland. 


Both the surface time-domain EM survey and the gravity survey at Maniitsoq will
be performed by Crone Geophysics & Exploration Ltd (www.cronegeophysics.com).
Crone specializes in the manufacture of high-quality time-domain EM equipment,
specifically the Crone Pulse EM system (PEM), and also provides well-trained
crews to safely and efficiently perform surveys with the PEM system and other
third-party geophysical equipment.


The PEM system operates by placing a large loop of insulated wire on the ground
through which a precisely-controlled changing current induces magnetic responses
from conductors hundreds of metres deep in the ground. It can be used to detect
and discriminate between a wide range of conductivities from poor (zinc), to
excellent (copper and nickel). Due to its unique transmitted current waveform
and its receiver's measuring system, Crone has developed a step-response
transformation of the data which extends this range of detection and
discrimination into the extremely high conductance that is seen in nickel
exploration. This feature has made the Crone PEM system an important part of the
exploration efforts in nickel exploration camps around the world, such as the
Raglan camp, Voisey's Bay, Sudbury, Alaska, Tanzania, Western Australia, and now
Greenland.


The deep penetration power of the Crone PEM system is also impressive; It was a
Crone PEM system that discovered the Lalor Lake deposit 800 metres below surface
in 2007, the largest base metal deposit discovered in Canada in decades. Crone
has a well-deserved reputation of building rugged, reliable, and portable
equipment, capable of working through extremes of temperature and humidity while
still having unmatched accuracy and low noise. 


In addition to the Pulse EM survey, Crone will carry out a gravity survey with a
2 person crew consisting of a gravity operator and a GPS operator with extensive
experience in precision gravity surveys. The equipment consists of LaCoste &
Romberg model G gravity meters with a reading resolution of 0.01 mGal. The
differential GPS (DGPS) system is the Leica - model 1230 Dual Frequency, Dual
Constellation (GPS & GLONASS) RTK, rover and Base Station with an accuracy of 1
cm + 1 ppm in separation from the base station to the rover. The crew has
extensive worldwide experience and is capable of reducing the data to bouguer
mGal values nightly in the field. Gravity surveys measure extremely small
variations in the Earth's gravitational field, which can be used to locate high
density material such as nickel sulphide-bearing rock.


About North American Nickel 

North American Nickel is a mineral exploration company with 100% owned
properties in Manitsoq, Greenland, Sudbury, Ontario, and the Thompson, Manitoba
nickel belt. VMS Ventures Inc. (TSX VENTURE:VMS) owns approximately 23.9% of
NAN.


The Maniitsoq property in Greenland is a Camp scale project comprising 3,601
square km covering numerous high-grade nickel-copper sulphide 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. 


Statements about the Company's future expectations and all other statements in
this press release other than historical facts are "forward looking statements"
