<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt"><B>NORTH AMERICAN NICKEL INC. ANNOUNCES THE APPOINTMENT OF NEIL RICHARDSON AND JOHN PATTISON TO THE<BR>
ADVISORY BOARD; GRANT OF STOCK OPTIONS</B>



<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Vancouver, B.C. &#150; December&nbsp;9, 2010 &#150; North American Nickel Inc. (OTCbb: &#147;WSCRF&#148;; CUSIP: 65704T 108)
is pleased to announce the appointment of Neil Richardson and John Pattison to the Advisory Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Mr.&nbsp;Richardson has over 22&nbsp;years experience in mineral exploration and mining operations of base
metal and precious metal deposits throughout Canada. Mr.&nbsp;Richardson is the newly appointed COO of
VMS Ventures (TSXV: VMS), which owns approximately 45% of North American Nickel. Prior to his
appointment, Neil was the Manager of Exploration for Murgor Resources Inc. Prior to joining Murgor
in 2006, he worked for HudBay Minerals Inc. as a Senior Exploration Geologist responsible for
greenfield and brownfield projects in the Flin Flon &#151; Snow Lake area. He was part of a team that
discovered a number of new mineralized zones throughout the belt. He also has past experience as a
Senior Mine Geologist with extensive background in resource &#151; reserve estimations and operations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">John Pattison is a professional geoscientist with a B.Sc. degree in Geological Sciences from the
University of Toronto. He has a strong technical background and over 25&nbsp;years experience in
copper-zinc and nickel-copper-PGE sulphide exploration. He specializes in the effective application
of Geographical Information Systems (GIS)&nbsp;technology to mineral exploration. John presently
consults to VMS Ventures and is also on their Advisory Board.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Recently, he was Chief Geologist with Exploration Syndicate, Inc. where he was part of a team of
geoscientists that discovered high-grade copper-zinc massive sulphide on the western side of the
Flin Flon belt at Suggi Lake, Saskatchewan in 2008. From 1983 to 2002 John worked with Falconbridge
Limited and associated companies where he was responsible for managing base metal, PGE and gold
exploration projects throughout Canada and southern Africa. After leaving Falconbridge in 2002 and
prior to joining Exploration Syndicate in 2006 John provided geological consulting services to
major and junior mining companies including Falconbridge and Anglo American.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company has granted incentive stock options to certain directors, officers, employees,
consultants and advisors of the Company to purchase up to 200,000 common shares in the capital of
the Company pursuant to the Company&#146;s stock option plan and subject to regulatory approval. The
options are exercisable, on or before December&nbsp;8, 2015 at an exercise price of $0.10 per share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><U><I>About North American Nickel</I></U>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">North American Nickel is a mineral exploration company with properties in the Sudbury, Ontario and
Thompson, Manitoba mining camps. The Company&#146;s initial focus is on two Sudbury, Ontario properties.
The Post Creek property is strategically located adjacent to the producing Podolsky
copper-nickel-platinum group metal deposit of Quadra FNX Mining. The property lies along the
extension of the Whistle Offset dyke structure, which is a major geological control for Ni-Cu-PGM
mineralization. The Bell Lake property is a 256-acre property that covers approximately one
kilometre of the Mystery Offset dyke or MOD. The MOD is interpreted to be an extension of the
Worthington Offset dyke which is a 10 to 11 kilometre-long mineralized structure that extends from
the southwest margin of the Sudbury igneous complex. The Company also has option to acquire 100%
ownership in the Woods Creek and Halcyon properties in the Sudbury area; and has acquired 100%
ownership in the high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE South Bay property near Thompson, Manitoba and the large
grassroots Thompson North and Cedar Lake properties, which are part of the world-class Thompson
Nickel Belt in Manitoba. North American Nickel Inc. is a member of the North Shore Mining Group.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Statements about the Company&#146;s future expectations and all other statements in this press release
other than historical facts are &#147;forward looking statements&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;27A of
the <I>Securities Act of 1933</I>, Section&nbsp;21E of the <I>Securities Exchange Act of 1934 </I>and as that term
defined in the <I>Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995</I>. The Company intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbours created thereby. Since these statements
involve risks and uncertainties and are subject to change at any time, the Company&#146;s actual results
may differ materially from the expected results.
