The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “NAN”.

The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties in Greenland and Canada, as well as in Botswana through its participation in Premium Nickel Resources. The Company has not yet determined whether any of these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of carrying amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon a number of factors including environmental risk, legal and political risk, the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and to attain sufficient net cash flow from future profitable production or disposition proceeds.

These financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving profitable operations and its ability to raise additional capital. To date, the Company has not generated profitable operations from its resource activities and will need to invest additional funds in carrying out its planned exploration, development and operational activities. These uncertainties cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The exploration and evaluation properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and cover administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Although the Company has been successful in its past fundraising activities, there is no assurance as to the success of future fundraising efforts or as to the sufficiency of funds raised in the future. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire interests in additional properties if there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if adequate financial resources are available to do so.

The coronavirus COVID-19 declared as a global pandemic in March 2020 continued throughout the 2020 year and to date. This contagious disease outbreak, which continues to spread, and any related adverse public health developments, has adversely affected workforces, economies, and financial markets globally, potentially leading to an economic downturn. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of its business but anticipates that COVID-19 may impact the Company’s ability to conduct fieldwork on projects.

The consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 29, 2021. The discussion in notes to the financial statements is stated in Canadian dollars except amounts in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(Expressed in Canadian dollars)

(b) Basis of Preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of any financial assets and financial liabilities where applicable. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(c) Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, North American Nickel (US) Inc. which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 22, 2015. Consolidation is required when the Company is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting standards and amendments issued but not yet effective

Certain accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

IAS 16 - “Property, Plant and Equipment”

The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment to prohibit the deducting from property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while preparing an asset for its intended use. Instead, sales proceeds and its related costs must be recognized in profit or loss. The amendment will require companies to distinguish between costs associated with producing and selling items before the item of property, plant and equipment is available for use and costs associated with making the item of property, plant and equipment available for its intended use. The amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022, with earlier application permitted. The amendment is not currently applicable.

IAS 1 – “Presentation of Financial Statements”

The IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements to clarify one of the requirements under the standard for classifying a liability as non-current in nature, specifically the requirement for an entity to have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The amendment includes: (i) specifying that an entity’s right to defer settlement must exist at the end of the reporting period; (ii) clarifying that classification is unaffected by management’s intentions or expectations about whether the entity will exercise its right to defer settlement; (iii) clarifying how lending conditions affect classification; and (iv) clarifying requirements for classifying liabilities an entity will or may settle by issuing its own equity instruments. An assessment will be performed prior to the effective date of January 1, 2023 to determine the impact to the Company’s financial statements.

In April 2020, the Company applied for a one year exclusion under a COVID-19 relief program offered by the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, thus adjusting the claim anniversary dates to April and May of 2021. The COVID-19 relief program was offered again commencing in 2021, and the Company has applied an additional one year exclusion.

By the second anniversary of the recording of a claim and by each anniversary thereafter, a minimum of $400 worth of exploration activity per claim unit must be reported to the Provincial Recording Office. The Company could maintain mining claims by filing an Application to Distribute Banked Assessment Work Credits form before any due date. Payments in place of reporting assessment work may also be used to meet yearly assessment work requirements, provided the payments are not used for the first unit of assessment work and consecutively thereafter. Payments cannot be banked to be carried forward for future use. The total annual work requirement for Quetico project after April 26, 2021 is $324,000 should the Company maintain the current size of the claims. Work reports for 2020 were approved on June 4, 2021. $39,835 in work credits was approved on the Quetico East claims and $21,948 was approved on the Quetico West claims.

On April 20, 2021 the Company closed a non-brokered private placement consisting of an aggregate of 8,290,665 units of the Company (the “Units”) at a price of $0.24 per unit, for aggregate gross proceeds of $1,989,760. Each unit consists 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 entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company within twenty-four (24) months following its issuance date, at a price of $0.35. The warrants are subject to an acceleration clause such that if the closing market price of the common shares on the TSX-V is greater than $0.60 per common share for a period of 10 consecutive trading days at any time after the four-month anniversary of the closing of the placement, the Company may, at its option, accelerate the warrant expiry date to within 30 days.

In connection with the private placement, the Company has paid eligible finders (the “Finders”): (i) cash commission equal to 6% of the gross proceeds raised from subscribers introduced to the Company by such Finders, being an aggregate of $57,190, and (ii) a number of common share purchase warrants (the “Finder Warrants”) equal to 6% of the units attributable to the Finders under the private placement, being an aggregate of 238,289 Finder Warrants. Each Finder Warrant entitles the Finder to acquire one common share of the Company for a period of twenty-four (24) months following its issuance date, at an exercise price of $0.35.

The Company allocated a $580,187 fair value to the warrants issued in conjunction with the private placement and $33,351 to agent’s warrants. The fair value of warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions; expected life of 2 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk-free interest rate of 0.29% and an expected volatility of 163%.
