About North American Nickel
North American Nickel is a new company with its first focus on its two key Sudbury properties. The Post Creek property is strategically located adjacent to the producing Podolsky copper-nickel-platinum group metal deposit of FNX Mining. The property lies along the extension of the Whistle Offset dike 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 dike or MOD. The MOD is interpreted to be an extension of the Worthington Offset dike 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 rights to explore the Woods Creek and Halcyon properties in the Sudbury area; and has an agreement to acquire 100% ownership to the high-grade Ni-Cu-PGE South Bay property near Thompson and the large grassroots Thompson North and Cedar Lake properties, which are part of the world-class Thompson Nickel Belt in Manitoba.
