Vancouver, British Columbia, September 12, 2013 – North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN) (OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that a new discovery has been made with diamond drill hole MQ-13-029. The discovery, named Imiak North, is 950 metres northeast of the previously announced Imiak Hill intersections (see News Releases dated August 23 and September 5, 2013), and 1200 metres northwest of the previously announced Spotty Hill discovery (see News Release dated December 23, 2012).

These three mineralized zones are part of the newly named Imiak Hill Conduit Complex (IHCC) which is located in the northern part of the Company’s 100% owned Maniitsoq Nickel - Copper – Cobalt and PGM project in southwest Greenland. (See figure 1 and figure 2)

MQ-13-029, beginning 57.75 metres down the hole, intersected 55.75m metres of sulphide mineralization, including;

· 9.99 metre core length of near solid to solid sulphides averaging approximately 30-40% total sulphides, and

· 45.76 metre core length of disseminated, blebby and net textured sulphide mineralization averaging approximately 3 - 5% sulphides.

As at Imiak Hill and Spotty Hill, mineralization remains open at depth at Imiak North.

NAN CEO and Chair, Rick Mark, states: “We are very pleased to inform shareholders that the Company’s exploration program continues to deliver discoveries of near solid to solid sulphide mineralization at Maniitsoq. This discovery at Imiak North is in close vicinity to Imiak Hill’s nickel, copper, cobalt mineralization and Spotty Hill’s nickel, copper, cobalt and PGM mineralization. And, according to our borehole surveys, these mineralized zones are all open at depth. This follows the conduit model our geological team is using anticipating the nickel mineralization to accumulate in an embayment or footwall contact below these discoveries.”
