North American Nickel is a public company that trades on the TSX Venture Exchange (NAN: TSX.V) and is committed to discovering nickel-copper-platinum group metal mines in Canada and Greenland. The Company’s main focus will be on its Maniitsoq project in Greenland and on its two offset dyke projects in the world-renowned Sudbury mining camp in Ontario. The Company has acquired a Mineral Exploration Licence on the southwest coast of Greenland that grants exclusive exploration rights to a 4,841 km2 area. The licence covers numerous high-grade drill-indicated and surface outcrop exposures of nickel – copper sulphide mineralization associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusions. The Maniitsoq Project is 160 km north of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. The property sits on tide water where ports have a year-round shipping season. Surface exploration and helicopter-borne time-domain EM (TEM) and magnetic surveys, completed in 2011 by NAN, identified new targets and showed that modern, helicopter TEM is a powerful and effective exploration tool in this area. Drilling and additional helicopter TEM surveying is planned for 2012.

A World Class Nickel Camp?
• Underexplored (previous hole lengths averaged < 60 m) but lots of
high-grade historical assays (e.g. 9.85 m @ 2.67% Ni and 0.60%
Cu).
• Strong evidence of a large-scale, long lived mafic igneous event.
• Major, deep seated structures that were active from the Archean
through to the Mesozoic.
• Intrusions hosting the mineralization appear to have been part of a
dynamic magma conduit system.
• Proof that modern helicopter geophysical technology is significantly
more effective in this rugged terrain than techniques used in the
past.
• Over 70 conductive zones identified to date across the entire 75 km
Greenland Norite Belt.

• Situated in a safe, stable,
mining-friendly jurisdiction.
• Close to tide water that is
navigable year-round.
• Straight forward permitting

• No land claims issues.
• Mine development activities
nearby including road and deep
water port construction (London

around the Finnefjeld Gneiss

Regional Showings
• 14 significant Ni-Cu showings. Most are
concentrated in the Greenland Norite Belt
(GNB) outlined here by purple dashed lines.
• All showings were discovered by
Kyrolitselskabet Øresund A/S (KØ) between
1962 and 1972 through surface prospecting.
• KØ made numerous intersections including:
9.85 meters averaging 2.67% Ni and
0.60% Cu at Imiak Hill
12.89 meters averaging 2.24% Ni and
0.63% Cu at the Fossilik showing.
• KØ drilled 119 holes totalling 6,287 m (i.e.
average hole <55 m long) to test outcropping
norites, exposed sulphide mineralization and
shallow electromagnetic (EM) anomalies
directly associated with exposed
mineralization. This was the only drilling
for nickel in the GNB.

15. Previous Exploration Stymied by
Lack of Conductive Targets
Cominco 1995 – 1996
• 20,446 line-km of airborne GeoTEM EM and
magnetic surveying.
– Lines 200-400 m apart oriented 080° (i.e.
subparallel to orientation of norites resulting
in poor coupling).
– Large fixed wing aircraft had difficulty hugging
the rugged terrain resulting in noisy data.
– Very few anomalies associated with norites.
– Ground follow-up prospecting, minor surface
geophysics (<30 line-km) but no drilling.
Falconbridge 1993 & 2000
• 100 line-km of UTEM over Imiak Hill and part
of Fossilik.
– Lines 200 to 400 m apart.
– No conductors detected and no drilling
done.
Slide 15

16. Now Many Targets Thanks to Modern
Regional Setting
Helicopter Geophysics
• SkyTEM and VTEM helicopter-borne TEM
surveys flown by NAN in 2011 and 2012
have detected over 75 conductive zones
(circled in red on the adjacent map).
• This technology was not available to
previous explorers in the belt.
• NAN has flown the areas outlined in
green, which total 860 km2 and cover a
major portion of the GNB.
• Interpretation of the 2012 data is in
progress. To date over 75 conductive
zones have been identified (circled in red
on map).

TARGET B1-J (IMIAK HILL): 3D VIEW LOOKING WEST
• 170 m long by 16 m wide conductor that comes to
surface and is directly coincident with the Imiak Hill
showing.
• The model shows that the mineralization strikes parallel
to most of the historical drilling and therefore has not
been properly tested.
• The model has very limited dip extent (21 m) but the
best intersection on the showing (9.85 m averaging
9.85m @ 2.67% Ni, 0.60% Cu 2.67% Ni and 0.60% Cu) occurs 130 m below surface
indicating that strong mineralization at surface is

Slide 22

23. Regional Setting
• Located in the Archean Akia terrane of the
South-West Greenland Archean complex
(correlated with the Nain province in
Labrador, Canada).
• Akia terrane consists of 80% retrogressed
3.4 – 2.9 Ga granulite facies gneisses
intercalated with supracrustal rocks (15%
amphibolites of volcanic origin and 5%
layered mafic complexes). The
supracrustal rocks occur in belts up to 6
km wide folded into dome and basin
Finne-
Fjeld
Gneiss
patterns.
• Project is roughly centred on the Finnefjeld
gneiss complex (2975 Ma), which has
recently been interpreted to represent the
centre of a giant meteorite impact site
(Garde et al, 2012).
Slide 23

24. Undeformed Norite Host
Rocks
• Distinct appearance in field
forming rounded hills covered
with brownish-grey, often rusty,
coarse gravel.
• Individual bodies range in size
from <2x2 m to 2 x 4 km.
• Intrusions often crosscut
gneissosity (i.e. significantly
younger than country rock).
• Many intrusions appear to be
emplaced along 060° trending
structures.
• Bodies are often enveloped by
narrow mylonite zones but
interiors are usually massive
with little or no foliation.
• Intrusions are typically multi-
phase and range in composition
from quartz diorite, through
norite, to lherzolite.
Gabbronorite is the most
common phase.
• Insitu differentiation is
minimal (dynamic system).
• Assimilation of host gneiss is
common.
Slide 24

25. Mineralization
• Sulphide
mineralization
consists of mono-
clinc pyrrhotite,
pyrite, pentlandite
and chalcopyrite. Imiak Hill
• Inclusion-bearing
sulphide is a
common texture. Pingo
• Disseminated and
net textured
sulphides also Imiak Hill
common.
