Vancouver, March 30, 2021 - North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV: NAN) (OTCQB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 405) (the "Company") announces that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Placement") of units ("Units") to raise up to $1,500,000. The Placement will be by way of private placement to eligible purchasers for up to 6,250,000 Units at $0.24 per Unit.
Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company and one half transferable common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") of the Company. Each full Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at any time prior to 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the date that is twenty-four (24) months following its issuance date, at a price of $0.35.
If the closing market price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") is greater than $0.60 per Common Share for a period of ten (10) consecutive trading days any time after the four-month anniversary of the closing of the Placement, then the Company may deliver a notice (the "Acceleration Notice") to the holder notifying the holder that the Warrants must be exercised within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Acceleration Notice, otherwise the Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the thirtieth (30th) calendar day after the date of the Acceleration Notice.
The Units (and securities underlying the Units) issued under the Placement will be subject to a four-month and one day hold period from the date of closing. The closing of the Placement is subject to, among other things, approval of the TSXV.
The Company intends to allocate a portion of the gross proceeds of the Placement for continued investment in Premium Nickel Resources, further exploration in Morocco, activities to be completed at the Company's Maniitsoq project in Greenland and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The Company continues to evaluate ways to increase its participation in Premium Nickel Resources.

About North American Nickel
North American Nickel is a mineral exploration company with 100% owned properties in Maniitsoq, Greenland and Ontario, Canada. In 2019 the Company became a founding shareholder in Premium Nickel Resources ("PNR") a private Canadian company, to provide direct exposure to Ni-Cu-Co opportunities in the southern African region. PNR completed a Memorandum of Understanding to acquire the assets, in liquidation, formerly operated by BCL Limited in Botswana. In addition, the Company is expanding its area of exploration interest into Morocco and building a relationship with the Office National des Hydrocarbures et des Mines ("ONHYM"), the leading resource crown corporation and the single largest permit holder in Morocco.
The Maniitsoq property in Greenland is a Camp scale permitted exploration project comprising 3,048 square km covering numerous high-grade nickel-copper + cobalt sulphide occurrences associated with norite and other mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the Greenland Norite Belt (GNB). The >75km-long belt is situated along, and near, the southwest coast of Greenland and is accessible from the existing Seqi deep water port with an all-year-round shipping season and hydroelectric power potential from a quantified watershed.
The Post Creek/Halcyon property in Sudbury is strategically located adjacent to the past producing Podolsky copper-nickel-precious metal sulphide 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.
The Company acquired 100% ownership of property near the southern extent of the Lingman Lake Greenstone Belt in northwest Ontario known as Lingman Nickel and in the Quetico region near Thunder Bay Ontario. The acquisition of these properties is part of the Company's strategy to develop a pipeline of new nickel projects. The Company is evaluating direct and indirect nickel asset acquisition opportunities globally.
