REED COPPER DEPOSIT:
CASH FLOW EXPECTED IN 2015
  The high grade nature of the Reed Copper deposit gives the project strong leverage to
  copper prices.

  The following table shows a copper price sensitivity analysis based on the operating
  parameters set out in the Prefeasibility Study Published in May 2012.

•   Underexplored (previous hole lengths averaged < 60 m) but lots of high-
    grade historical assays with consistent high sulphide Ni tenor (6-8%).
•   Mafic intrusions hosting the mineralization are contaminated mantle melts
    and appear to have been part of a long-lived, dynamic magma conduit
    system triggered by a large impact (possibly the largest yet recognized on
    Earth).
•   Centred on major, deep seated structures that were active from the Archean
    to the Jurassic (2.8 billion years).
•   New helicopter geophysical technology is proving far more effective than
    techniques used in the past; over 75 conductive zones identified to date.

     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).

  • 14. Maniitsoq Project A World Class Nickel Camp? • High-grade, multi-element diamond drill intersections over long intervals. e.g. 123.94 m @ 0.81% Ni, 0.21%Cu, 0.03% Co and 0.26 g/t PGM incl. 24.20 m @ 1.75% Ni, 0.34% Cu, 0.06% Co and 0.52 g/t PGM • Underexplored (previous hole lengths averaged < 60 m) but lots of high- grade historical assays with consistent high sulphide Ni tenor (6-8%). • Mafic intrusions hosting the mineralization are contaminated mantle melts and appear to have been part of a long-lived, dynamic magma conduit system triggered by a large impact (possibly the largest yet recognized on Earth). • Centred on major, deep seated structures that were active from the Archean to the Jurassic (2.8 billion years). • New helicopter geophysical technology is proving far more effective than techniques used in the past; over 75 conductive zones identified to date. Slide 14
  • 15. Investor Risk Mitigation  100% ownership; Camp-sized land package (>Sudbury)  Public Co management/financing experience  Technical team is deep  Secure political jurisdiction  Accessible, along pack ice free coast line  Historic exploration data is remarkable ($10M plus)  Geology  Abundance of Ni-Cu occurrences at surface & in drilling  High Nickel Tenor – consistent and economic grade  Major, long lived structures  Large-scale mafic igneous event  New technologies in “old” camp work – 75 EM anomalies Slide 15
  • 16. Maniitsoq Project Location • Situated in a safe, stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction. • Close to tide water that is navigable year-round. • Straight forward permitting process. • No land claims issues. • Mine development activities nearby including road and deep water port construction (London Mining’s Isua Iron project). Slide 16
  • 17.

Slide 17
  • 18. Consistently High Nickel Tenor Ni vs. S for Historical GNB Drill Core • Sulphides have a relatively consistent Typical 100% sulphide mixture of Po+Cp+Pn contains 35.7% S nickel tenor of 6 to Kerr, 2003 8% Ni recalculated to 100% sulphide. Nickel wt. % • Presence of pyrite means there is more S for a given amount DRILL CORE of sulphide than in typical magmatic sulphide deposits consisting mainly of pyrrhotite-pentlandite and chalcopyrite. After Shore, 2000 Sulphur wt. % (Falconbridge Limited) Slide 18
  • 19. 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). Slide 19

  • 22. Plans for 2013 Diamond Drilling (~7500 meters) Approximately 5,000 meters to follow-up targets from 2012 program and 2,500 meters to test new targets generated from 2013 work. VTEM Surveys (~450 kilometers) Over several showings and intrusions not previously flown. Induced Polarization (~30 kilometers) To help map out zones of disseminated sulphide mineralization. Field Mapping and Sampling To ground truth and sample VTEM anomalies and zones of disseminated mineralization exposed on surface. Slide 22
