Nature And Continuance Of Operations
Nature and Continuance of Operations	1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS North American Nickel Inc. (the “Company” or “NA Nickel”) was incorporated on September 23, 1983, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The primary mailing office is located at 3400 – 100 King Street West, PO Box 130, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4 and the records office of the Company is located at 666 Burrard Street, Suite 2500, Vancouver BC V6C 2X8. 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, Canada and United States. 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. 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. Further, in March 2020, the World Health Organization declared coronavirus COVID-19 a global pandemic. This contagious disease outbreak, which has continued 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 impact on the Company is not currently determinable but management continues to monitor the situation. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on August 19, 2020. The discussion in notes to the financial statements is stated in Canadian dollars except amounts in tables are expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars.

Basis Of Preparation And Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation and Significant Accounting Policies	2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (a) Statement of Compliance These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 could result in restatement of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements. (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, 2019. (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.

Disclosure Of Notes And Other Explanatory Information Explanatory Abstract
Changes in Accounting Policies	3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES New Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Effective This Year: Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards On March 29, 2018 the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) issued a revised version of its Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (the Framework), that underpins IFRS Standards. The IASB also issued Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards (the Amendments) to update references in IFRS Standards to previous versions of the Conceptual Framework. Both documents are effective from January 1, 2020. Some Standards include references to the 1989 and 2010 versions of the Framework. The IASB has published a separate document which contains consequential amendments to affected Standards so that they refer to the new Framework, with the exception of IFRS 3 Business Combinations which continues to refer to both the 1989 and 2010 Frameworks. IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors In October 2018, the IASB issued amendments to International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 1, Presentation of Financial Statements and IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The amendments are to clarify the definition of ‘material’ and to align the definition used in the Conceptual Framework and the standards themselves. The amendments are effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of these amendments did not result in any impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Based on the results of the exploration program completed in April 2020, the management elected not to proceed with further exploration on the property and terminated the agreement. Accordingly, all acquisition and exploration related costs were written off as at June 30, 2020, totalling $436,897. Section 35 Property On January 4, 2016, the Company entered into a 10-year Metallic Minerals Lease (the “Lease”) with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources for an area covering approximately 320 acres. The terms of the Lease required annual rental fees. At the end of 2019 year, management of the Company made a decision to relinquish the mineral lease. As a result, all cumulative exploration related costs of $11,393 were written-off as at December 31, 2019. The Company applied and received approval for refund of a $13,016 (US $10,000) reclamation deposit held by the Department of Natural Resources in Michigan. Maniitsoq The Company has been granted certain exploration licenses, by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (“BMP”) of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights of an area comprising the Maniitsoq Property, located near Ininngui, Greenland. The Property is subject to a 2.5% NSR. The Company can reduce the NSR to 1% by paying $2,000,000 on or before 60 days from the decision to commence commercial production. At the expiration of the first license period, the Company may apply for a second license period (years 6-10), and the Company may apply for a further 3-year license for years 11 to 13. Thereafter, the Company may apply for additional 3-year licenses for years 14 to 16, 17 to 19 and 20 to 22. The Company will be required to pay additional license fees and will be obligated to incur minimum eligible exploration expenses for such years. The Company may terminate the licenses at any time, however any unfulfilled obligations according to the licenses will remain in force, regardless of the termination. Future required minimum exploration expenditures will be adjusted each year on the basis of the change to the Danish Consumer Price Index. During the six months period ended June 30, 2020, the Company spent in aggregate of $83,191 (June 30, 2019 - $357,187) in exploration and license related expenditures on the Maniitsoq Property, which is comprised of the Sulussugut, Ininngui and Carbonatite Licenses. Further details on the licenses and related expenditures are outlined below. IFRS 6 requires management to assess the exploration and evaluation assets for impairment. Accordingly, management believed that facts and circumstances existed at December 31, 2019 to suggest that the carrying amount of the Maniitsoq Property exceeds its recoverable amount. As a result, management determined the Maniitsoq Property should be impaired by $26,499,159 and its recoverable amount at December 31, 2019 was $36,149,667. The valuation was based on historical drilling results and management’s future exploration plans on the Maniitsoq Property. The Company intends to plan and budget for further exploration on the Maniitsoq Property in the future. Further details on the licenses comprising the Maniitsoq Property and related expenditures are outlined below: Sulussugut License (2011/54) (All references to amounts in Danish Kroners, “DKK”) Effective August 15, 2011, the Company was granted an exploration license (the “Sulussugut License”) by the BMP of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights of an area located near Sulussugut, Greenland.
