This management information circular (the “Information Circular”) is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by or on behalf of the management of North American Nickel Inc. (the “Company”) for use at the annual meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”) to be held at Suite 1750 – 1185 West Georgia Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 4E6 on Friday, June 15, 2012 at 10:00a.m. (Vancouver time) and at any adjournments thereof for the purposes set out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. Although it is expected that the solicitation of proxies will be primarily by mail, proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone by directors or officers of the Company. Arrangements will also be made with clearing agencies, brokerage houses and other financial intermediaries to forward proxy solicitation material to the beneficial owners of common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”) pursuant to the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 — Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer. The cost of any such solicitation will be borne by the Company.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Information Circular is given as at May 11, 2012.

The purpose of a proxy is to designate persons who will vote the proxy on a Shareholder’s behalf in accordance with the instructions given by the Shareholder in the proxy. The persons named in the enclosed proxy (the “Management Designees”) have been selected by the directors of the Company.

A Shareholder has the right to designate a person (who need not be a Shareholder), other than the Management Designees to represent the Shareholder at the Meeting. Such right may be exercised by inserting in the space provided for that purpose on the proxy the name of the person to be designated, and by deleting from the proxy the names of the Management Designees, or by completing another proper form of proxy and delivering the same to the transfer agent of the Company. Such Shareholder should notify the nominee of the appointment, obtain the nominee’s consent to act as proxyholder and attend the Meeting, and provide instructions on how the Shareholder’s shares are to be voted. The nominee should bring personal identification with them to the Meeting.

To be valid, the proxy must be dated and executed by the Shareholder or an attorney authorized in writing, with proof of such authorization attached (where an attorney executed the proxy). The proxy must then be delivered to the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc., Proxy Department, 100 University Avenue, 9th Floor, Toronto, Ontario, M5J 2Y1, or by fax within North America to 1-866-249-7775, and outside North America to (416) 263-9524, at least 48 hours, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, before the time of the Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Proxies received after that time may be accepted by the Chairman of the Meeting in the Chairman’s discretion, but the Chairman is under no obligation to accept late proxies.

Any registered Shareholder who has returned a proxy may revoke it at any time before it has been exercised. A proxy may be revoked by a registered Shareholder personally attending at the Meeting and voting their shares. A Shareholder may also revoke their proxy in respect of any matter upon which a vote has not already been cast by depositing an instrument in writing, including a proxy bearing a later date executed by the registered Shareholder or by their authorized attorney in writing, or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, either at the office of the Company’s registrar and transfer agent at the foregoing address or the head office of the Company, at Suite 301 — 260 West Esplanade, North Vancouver, B.C. V7M 3G7, Phone: (604) 986-2020, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the date of the Meeting, or any adjournment thereof at which the proxy is to be used, or by depositing the instrument in writing with the Chairman of such Meeting, or any adjournment thereof. Only registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered Shareholders who wish to change their vote must, at least seven days before the Meeting, arrange for their respective nominees to revoke the proxy on their behalf.

Voting at the Meeting will be by a show of hands, each registered Shareholder and each proxyholder (representing a registered or unregistered Shareholder) having one vote, unless a poll is required or requested, whereupon each such Shareholder and proxyholder is entitled to one vote for each Common Share held or represented, respectively. Each Shareholder may instruct their proxyholder how to vote their Common Shares by completing the blanks on the proxy. All Common Shares represented at the Meeting by properly executed proxies will be voted or withheld from voting when a poll is required or requested and, where a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon has been specified in the form of proxy, the Common Shares represented by the proxy will be voted in accordance with such specification. In the absence of any such specification as to voting on the proxy, the Management Designees, if named as proxyholder, will vote in favour of the matters set out therein.

The enclosed proxy confers discretionary authority upon the Management Designees, or other person named as proxyholder, with respect to amendments to or variations of matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and any other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. As of the date hereof, the Company is not aware of any amendments to, variations of or other matters which may come before the Meeting. If other matters properly come before the Meeting, then the Management Designees intend to vote in a manner which in their judgment is in the best interests of the Company.

In order to approve a motion proposed at the Meeting, a majority of greater than 50% of the votes cast will be required (an “ordinary resolution”), unless the motion requires a “special resolution” in which case a majority of 66 2/3% of the votes cast will be required.

Only registered shareholders or duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” or “beneficial” shareholders because the shares they own are not registered in their names, but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the shares. More particularly, a person is not a registered shareholder in respect of shares which are held on behalf of that person (the “Beneficial Holder”) but which are registered either: (a) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Beneficial Holder deals with in respect of the shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSP’s, RRIF’s, RESP’s and similar plans); or (b) in the name of a clearing agency (such as The Canadian Depository for Securities Limited (“CDS”)) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with the requirements of National Instrument 54-101 of the Canadian Securities Administrators, the Company has distributed copies of the Notice of Meeting, this Information Circular and the Proxy (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries for onward distribution to Beneficial Holders.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders unless a Beneficial Holder has waived the right to receive them. Very often, Intermediaries will use service companies to forward the Meeting Materials to Beneficial Holders. Generally, Beneficial Holders who have not waived the right to receive Meeting Materials will either:

(a)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of shares beneficially owned by the Beneficial Holder but which is otherwise not completed. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Beneficial Holder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Beneficial Holder who wishes to submit a proxy should otherwise properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company’s transfer agent as provided above; or

(b)

more typically, be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary, and which, when properly completed and signed by the Beneficial Holder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “proxy authorization form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the proxy authorization form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the proxy authorization form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label containing a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a proxy authorization form, the Beneficial Holder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and return it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company.

In either case, the purpose of this procedure is to permit Beneficial Holders to direct the voting of the shares which they beneficially own. Should a Beneficial Holder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person, the Beneficial Holder should strike out the names of the Management Designees named in the form and insert the Beneficial Holder’s name in the blank space provided. In either case, Beneficial Holders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or proxy authorization form is to be delivered.

Other than as set forth herein, management of the Company is not aware of any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting, other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditors, of any person or company who has been: (a) if the solicitation is made by or on behalf of management of the Company, a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the beginning of the Company’s last financial year; (b) if the solicitation is made other than by or on behalf of management of the Company, any person or company by whom or on whose behalf, directly or indirectly, the solicitation is made; (c) each proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company; or (d) any associate or affiliate of any of the foregoing persons or companies.

The Company is authorized to issue unlimited common shares, without nominal or par value, of which as at the date hereof 56,747,693 common shares are issued and outstanding.

The holders of common shares of record at the close of business on the record date, set by the directors of the Company to be May 11, 2012, are entitled to vote such common shares at the Meeting on the basis of one vote for each common share held.

The Articles of the Company provide that a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting is two (2) Shareholders, or one or more proxyholders representing two Shareholders, or one Shareholder and a proxyholder representing another Shareholder,

To the knowledge of the directors and senior officers of the Company, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities carrying more than 10% of the outstanding voting rights of the Company other than:

The directors have determined that all shareholders of record as of the 11th day of May, 2012 will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting. Those shareholders so desiring may be represented by proxy at the Meeting.

TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE COMPANY’S DIRECTORS, THE ONLY MATTERS TO BE PLACED BEFORE THE MEETING ARE THOSE REFERRED TO IN THE NOTICE OF MEETING ACCOMPANYING THIS INFORMATION CIRCULAR. HOWEVER, SHOULD ANY OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY COME BEFORE THE MEETING, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY SOLICITED HEREBY WILL BE VOTED ON SUCH MATTERS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE BEST JUDGMENT OF THE PERSONS VOTING THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY.

Additional detail regarding each of the matters to be acted upon at the Meeting is set forth below.

The audited financial statements of the company for the financial year ended December 31, 2011 (the “Financial Statements”), together with the Auditors’ Reports thereon, will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board” or the “Board of Directors”) currently consists of six (6) directors, all of whom are elected annually. The term of office for each of the present directors of the Company expires at the Meeting. All of the current directors of the Company will be standing for re-election. At the Meeting, the Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, approve an ordinary resolution fixing the number of directors to be elected at the Meeting at six (6).

It is proposed that the persons named below will be nominated at the Meeting. Each director elected will hold office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company or until his successor is duly elected or appointed pursuant to the Articles of the Company unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) or the Company’s Articles.

It is the intention of the management designees, if named as proxy, to vote for the election of the said persons to the Board of Directors, unless the Shareholder has specified in its proxy that its Common Shares are to be withheld from voting on the election of directors. Management does not contemplate that any of the nominees will be unable to serve as a director.

The following information relating to the nominees for election to the Board of Directors is based on information received by the Company from said nominees.

Other than as disclosed below, to the knowledge of the Company, no director or proposed director of the Company is, or within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular has been, a director or executive officer of any company, including the Company, that while that person was acting in that capacity:

(a)

was the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the company access to any exemption under securities legislation for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

(b)

was subject to an event that resulted, after the director ceased to be a director or executive officer of the company being the subject of a cease trade order or similar order or an order that denied the relevant company access to any exemption under securities legislation, for a period of more than 30 consecutive days; or

(c)

within a year of that person ceasing to act in that capacity, became bankrupt, made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency or was subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold its assets.

Douglas E. Ford was an officer of Casey Container Corp., formerly Sawadee Ventures, Inc. (“Casey”) from September, 2006 to September 12, 2008, a director from September 2006 until January 19, 2009; and was a control person from September 2006 until July 2010. On January 20, 2009, the British Columbia Securities Commission issued a Cease Trade Order against Casey as a result of a failure to file interim financial statements and related management’s discussion and analysis for the financial period ended September 30, 2008. Casey subsequently filed the required financial statements and related documents and the Cease Trade Order was revoked on June 10, 2010.

Douglas E. Ford is a former director of Malaspina Capital Ltd. (“Malaspina”). On July 28, 1999, the Alberta Stock Exchange (a predecessor to the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”)) suspended trading in Malaspina for failure to complete a major transaction within the time frame set out by the TSXV. In August 2001, Malaspina’s shareholders approved as a major transaction the amalgamation with Miranda Mining Development Corporation. The amalgamation was completed in November 2001 and in March 2002, the resulting corporation, Miranda Mining Corporation, began trading on the Canadian Venture Exchange (a predecessor to the TSXV).

To the knowledge of the Company, no director or proposed director of the Company has, within the ten years prior to the date of this Circular, become bankrupt or made a proposal under any legislation relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, or been subject to or instituted any proceedings, arrangement or compromise with creditors, or had a receiver, receiver manager or trustee appointed to hold the assets of that individual.

Other than as described below, no proposed director of the Company has been subject to any penalties or sanctions imposed by a court relating to securities legislation or by a securities regulatory authority or has entered into a settlement agreement with a securities regulatory authority, or has been subject to any other penalties or sanctions imposed by a court or regulatory body that would likely be considered important to a reasonable securityholder in deciding whether to vote for a proposed director.

Edward D. Ford, was subject to a Cease Trade Order issued by the Alberta Securities Commission on July 25, 1990. At the relevant times preceding the date of issuance of the Cease Trade Order, Mr. Ford was a director of Eleven Business Acquisitions Inc., an Alberta reporting issuer (“Eleven”). As a result of Eleven having failed to comply with certain continuous disclosure obligations, the Alberta Securities Commission ordered that Mr. Ford cease trading in all securities as defined in the Securities Act (Alberta) for a period of 30 days from the date of the Cease Trade Order.

Management proposes the reappointment of Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte, Chartered Accountants (“DMCL”), as auditors of the corporation at a remuneration to be fixed by the board of directors. DMCL were initially appointed auditors of the Corporation at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders held on June 28, 2005.

In the absence of instructions to the contrary the shares represented by proxy will be voted in favour of a resolution to appoint Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton LaBonte, Chartered Accountants, as Auditors of the Company for the ensuing year, at a remuneration to be fixed by the Board of Directors, unless the Shareholder has specified in the Shareholder’s proxy that the Shareholder’s Common Shares are to be withheld from voting on the appointment of auditors.

At last year’s Annual and Special General Meeting, the Shareholders approved a rolling stock option plan (the “Stock Option Plan”), authorizing the issuance of incentive stock options to directors, officers, employees and consultants up to an aggregate of 10% of the issued shares from time to time. The policies of the TSX Venture Exchange require the shareholders to approve the Stock Option Plan each year.

There are currently 56,747,693 shares issued and outstanding and therefore the current 10% threshold is 5,674,769 shares under the Stock Option Plan.

Accordingly, at the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to consider and, if thought fit, to pass with or without amendment, the approval of the Stock Option Plan by an ordinary resolution.

For purposes of this Information Circular, “named executive officer” of the Company means an individual who, at any time during the year, was:

(c)

each of the Company’s three most highly compensated executive officers, or the three most highly compensated individuals acting in a similar capacity, other than the CEO and CFO, at the end of the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2011 and whose total compensation was, individually, more than $150,000 for that financial year; and

(d)

each individual who would be a named executive officer under paragraph (c) but for the fact that the individual was neither an executive officer of the Company, nor acting in a similar capacity, at the end of the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2011;

Based on the foregoing definition, during the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2011 of the Company, there were three Executive Officer(s), namely, its President, Mark Fedikow, its Chief Executive Officer, Richard J. Mark, and its Chief Financial Officer, Edward D. Ford.

In assessing the compensation of its executive officers, the Company does not have in place any formal objectives, criteria or analysis; instead, it relies mainly on Board discussion, with input from and upon the recommendations of, the Compensation Committee.

The Company’s executive compensation program has three principal components: base salary, incentive bonus plan and stock options.

Base salaries for all employees of the Company are established for each position through comparative salary surveys of similar type and size companies. Both individual and corporate performances are also taken into account.

Incentive bonuses, in the form of cash payments, are designed to add a variable component of compensation based on corporate and individual performances for executive officers and employees. No bonuses were paid to executive officers and employees during the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2011.

Other than as described below under “Termination and Change of Control Benefits” the Company has no other forms of compensation, although payments may be made from time to time to individuals or companies they control for the provision of consulting services. Such consulting services are paid for by the Company at competitive industry rates for work of a similar nature by reputable arm’s length services providers.

Stock options are granted to provide an incentive to the directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company to achieve the longer-term objectives of the Company; to give suitable recognition to the ability and industry of such persons who contribute materially to the success of the Company; and to attract and retain persons of experience and ability, by providing them with the opportunity to acquire an increased proprietary interest in the Company. The Company awards stock options to its executive officers based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, which recommendation is based upon the Committee’s review of a proposal from the Chief Executive Officer. Previous grants of incentive stock options are taken into account when considering new grants.

Implementation of a new incentive stock option plan and amendments to the existing stock option plan are the responsibility of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

The following table sets forth the total compensation paid to or earned by the Named Executive Officers for the Company’s financial year ended December 31, 2011.

New Board members receive an orientation package which includes reports on operations and results, and public disclosure filings by the Company. Board meetings are sometimes held at the Company’s offices and, from time to time, are combined with presentations by the Company’s management to give the directors additional insight into the Company’s business. In addition, management of the Company makes itself available for discussion with all Board members.

The Board has found that the fiduciary duties placed on individual directors by the Company’s governing corporate legislation and the common law and the restrictions placed by applicable corporate legislation on an individual director’s participation in decisions of the Board in which the director has an interest have been sufficient to ensure that the Board operates independently of management and in the best interests of the Company.

The Board considers its size each year when it considers the number of directors to recommend to the shareholders for election at the annual meeting of shareholders, taking into account the number required to carry out the Board’s duties effectively and to maintain a diversity of view and experience.

The Board does not have a nominating committee, and these functions are currently performed by the Board as a whole. However, if there is a change in the number of directors required by the Company, this policy will be reviewed.

The Company does not have a separate Compensation Committee, so the entire Board of directors is responsible for determining compensation for the directors and officers of the Company to ensure it reflects the responsibilities and risks of a public company.

The Board has no other committees, other than the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

Due to the minimal size of the Company’s Board of directors, no formal policy has been established to monitor the effectiveness of the directors, the Board and its committees.

Under National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”) reporting issuers are required to provide disclosure with respect to its Audit Committee including the text of the Audit Committee’s Charter, composition of the Committee, and the fees paid to the external auditor. The Board of Directors adopted an audit committee charter on May 2, 2006. The Company provides the following disclosure with respect to its Audit Committee:
