Company Overview and Highlights

North American Nickel is an international mineral exploration and resource development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) as at May 3, 2011 trading under the symbol NAN. The Company is focused on the exploration and development of a diversified portfolio of nickel-copper-cobalt-precious metals sulphide projects that should be economically feasible assuming conservative long-term commodity prices. The Company’s principal asset is its Maniitsoq Property, in Southwest Greenland, a district scale land position.

North American Nickel was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by filing of Memorandum and Articles of Association on September 20, 1983, under the name Rainbow Resources Ltd.

Since 2011 the Company has continued the advancement of its camp scale Maniitsoq Project in Southwest Greenland and the Post Creek Property in Sudbury, Ontario. The 2018 exploration and drilling program at its Maniitsoq project was completed in September with a total 14,287 metres of drilling, representing an increase of 5,520 metres from the previous program in 2017. The drilling was focused on testing a geochemical strategy within several of the main Maniitsoq intrusions and has confirmed the presence of melanorite and re-affirmed the significance of the high magnesium oxide (MgO) control on NiS mineralization.

The Company’s Post Creek project has been held as an asset since 2010 because of its prospective location. The Company has been exploring the project with a combination of geophysics, prospecting, trenching, mapping. A two-hole drill program was completed in 2018 with the objective of assessing magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies within a corridor of breccias and quartz diorite extending radially away from the Whistle Offset and to provide a platform for downhole geophysics. Base metal massive sulphide-type high-grade zinc with silver mineralization were discovered.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

In early 2018, NAN initiated a strategy to assemble a diversified portfolio of highly prospective nickel-copper-cobalt projects that were located in countries with the Rule-of-Law and that should demonstrate sustainable economics assuming conservative long-term commodity prices. As a result of this work, NAN has acquired 3 new projects in Ontario which include: the Lingman Nickel Project, covering a portion of the Archean age Lingman Lake Greenstone Belt and the Quetico Nickel Project which is known to host intrusions with Ni-Cu-Co-PGM mineralization related to a late 2690 Ma Archean magmatic event. Most recently, the Company entered into an agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Loveland Nickel property in the Timmins area of Ontario.

On October 2, 2019, the Board of Directors and Management completed a consolidation of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares on the basis of ten pre-consolidation shares for one post-consolidated share.

On December 18, 2019, the Company completed a bought deal private placement issuing of 2,224,666 flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of $0.18 per FT Share and 7,373,265 common share units at a price of $0.18 per Unit for gross proceeds of $1,727,627.58.

Maniitsoq Nickel-Copper-PGM Project, Southwest Greenland

The Greenland properties currently being explored for nickel-copper-cobalt-PGM sulphide by the Company have no mineral resources or reserves. The Maniitsoq project is centered 100 kilometres north of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland which is a safe, stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction. The centre of the project is located at 65 degrees 18 minutes north and 51 degrees 43 minutes west and has an arctic climate. It is accessible year-round either by helicopter or by boat from Nuuk or Maniitsoq, the latter located on the coast approximately 15 kilometres to the west. The deep-water coastline adjacent to Maniitsoq is typical of Greenland’s southwest coast which is free of pack ice with a year-round shipping season. The optimum shipping conditions are due to the warming Gulf Stream flowing continuously past the south west coastline of Greenland. There is no infrastructure on the property; however, the Seqi deep water port and a quantified watershed for hydropower are located peripheral to the project.

The Maniitsoq property is centred on the 75 kilometre by 15 kilometre Greenland Norite Belt which hosts numerous high-grade nickel-copper sulphide occurrences associated with mafic and ultramafic intrusions. Between 1995 and 2011, various companies carried out exploration over portions of the project area. The most extensive work was carried out by Kryolitselskabet Øresund A/S Company (“KØ”) who explored the project area from 1959 to 1973. KØ discovered numerous surface and near surface nickel-copper sulphide occurrences and this work was instrumental in demonstrating the nickel prospectivity of the Greenland Norite Belt.

The Company acquired the Maniitsoq project because it has potential for the discovery of significant magmatic sulfide deposits in a camp-scale belt. The company believed that modern, time-domain, helicopter-borne electromagnetic (EM) systems would be more effective at detecting nickel sulphide deposits in the rugged terrain of Maniitsoq than previous, older airborne fixed wing geophysical surveys available to previous explorers. In addition, modern, time domain surface and borehole EM systems could be used to target mineralization in the sub-surface.

The Maniitsoq property consists of four exploration licenses, Sulussagut No. 2011/54 and Ininngui No. 2012/28 comprising 2,689 and 296 square kilometres, respectively and the recently acquired Carbonatite property No. 2018/21 (63 km²) and the Ikertoq property No. 2018/31 (33 km²):

Sulussugut License – 2011/54

Effective August 15, 2011, the Company was granted an exploration license, No. 2011/54 (the “Sulussugut License”), by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (“BMP”) of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights of an area located near Sulussugut, Greenland. The Sulussugut License was valid for 5 years until December 31, 2015, with December 31, 2011 being the first year providing the Company meets the terms of the license, which includes that specified eligible exploration expenditures must be made. The application for another 5-year term on the Sulussugut License was submitted to the Greenland Mineral License & Safety Authority (MLSA) which was effective on April 11, 2016, with December 31, 2019 being the nineth year.

The Greenland MLSA for the year 2019 has adjusted the minimum required exploration expenditures to DKK 44,755,600. The annual license fee on the Sulussugut License for year 9 and forward is approximately DKK 41,000.

Details of required work expenditures and accrued work credits are tabulated and given below:

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.

Ikertoq License – 2018/31

The Company was granted a second exploration license, No. 2018/31 (the “Ikertoq License”) on May 4, 2018 in an area approximately 110 km north of the Mannitsoq project. The license was subsequently relinquished due to no further plans to carry out exploration work.

Exploration and Development Activities during YTD 2019

In 2019, The Company had planned to return to Maniitsoq and other regional target areas to continue our systematic exploration program. Unfortunately, the Company was not successful in completing a treasury financing within the lead-time required for the logistical planning in Greenland. The initial 2019 work program for Maniitsoq project has been postponed to the 2020 summer season subsequent to a successful financing capable of supporting an integrated exploration programs.

The Company reported its remaining results from the 2018 exploration program on the Maniitsoq property in April 2019. Details are provided below. Holes drilled in 2018 are referenced in Figures 1 and 2 in Exploration and Development Activities section under “2018 Exploration Activities”.

Hydropower assessment of watershed 06.H was continued with the emplacement of devices to measure the seasonal variability of water levels in Lake Taserssuatsiaq and to provide a framework for further surveys over the next 3-5 years.

A prospecting permit for west Greenland was awarded by the Greenland government.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

Fossilik

Detailed geological, geochemical, and geophysical investigations were undertaken to provide the framework to drill test the P-058 sulphide zone and the keel zone of the large Fossilik intrusion. The melanorite keel area is interpreted to be the primary source of high-grade mineralization previously identified in the P-058, P-059, and P-004 zones at the southwest margin of the intrusion. Historic exploration established a strong empirical relationship between the highest grades and tenors of magmatic sulphide mineralization and the distribution of high magnesium oxide (MgO) norite rocks, termed melanorite. Geochemical and geophysical data point to the importance of dense melanoritic bodies with elevated levels of MgO and chromium (Cr) as the principal repository of known magmatic sulphide mineralization. The high conductive signature of heavy disseminated, breccia, and massive sulphide mineralization makes this type of mineralization an exceptionally good target for deep-penetrating surface electromagnetic surveys (EM).

Holes MQ-18-161, 173 and 184 totaling 2,626.7 m were drilled within the southwest area of the intrusion and hole MQ-18-158 tested the margin of the main Fossilik Intrusion adjacent to the P-058 mineral zone. Holes MQ-18-158, drilled to a depth of 797 m and -161 did not intersect any significant mineralization. Assay results for holes MQ-18-173 and MQ-18-184 are given in Table 5.

The 2018 work program did not identify significant mineralization in the keel structure of the Fossilik intrusion however the potential for a discovery at depth remains open, and the most prospective keel portion lies below the bottom of drill hole MQ-18-173.

Imiak Hill

Four heavily deformed intrusions with gravity and IP anomalies were drill tested in 2018 at Imiak Hill. G-017, G-025, G-026, and G-036 by seven holes for a total of 3,499.8 m.

G-017 was tested by holes MQ-18-170 and 178 for 1,230.8 m to evaluate melanorite outcrop associated with a gravity high. No significant nickel or copper sulphide mineralization was intersected.

G-025 occurs on the western edge of the IHC and consists of discontinuous outcrops of melanorite. Hole MQ-18-176 undercut previous historic surface grab samples with values of up to 0.79% nickel and 0.42% copper. The hole was drilled to a depth of 516 m and intersected a thick interval of melanorite with maximum values of 0.54% nickel and 0.19% copper between 115.15 m to 121.0 m.

G-026 is located west of the Imiak Hill zone and was tested with holes MQ-18-165, -166 and -179 totaling 1,174 m. Hole MQ-18-165 was abandoned shortly after casing and restarted as 166 but failed to encounter melanorite or nickel enrichment. Hole MQ-18-179 tested a chargeability high and resistivity low and intersected low MgO noritic rocks with 0.43% Ni and 0.13% Cu over 7.0 m from 382m to 389m, and 0.56% Ni and 0.17% Cu between 399.45 m to 402 m.

G-036 is interpreted to be a possible faulted and displaced continuation of the mafic intrusive host to the Imiak Hill mineral zone. The intrusion, which may represent the keel of the system, is marked by a gravity high. Borehole MQ-18-160 was drilled to a depth of 579 m and intersected a thick sequence of melanorite with 0.37% Ni and 0.19% Cu over 1.65 m at 93.35 m.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

Spotty Hill P-055

Hole MQ-18-157 tested a gravity anomaly within a melanorite keel 300 m down-plunge of known mineralization for 778 m. Previous drill hole intercept values included 1.35% Ni and 0.26% Cu over 7.8 m from hole MQ17-143. Sub-economic values of 0.27% Ni and 0.07% Cu over 4.63 m from 527.8 m to 532.43 m were intersected. BHEM results were negative.

P-030/P-031/P-032

The P-030-032 target area is located in the southern portion of the Greenland Norite Belt and is a two km long, northeast-striking norite intrusion with surface gossans that assay up to 2.26% Ni, 0.67% Cu and 0.33g/t PGM’s. The intrusion was tested by holes MQ-18-181, MQ-18-186 and MQ-18-188. DDH MQ-18-181 intersected 0.86% Ni and 0.19% Cu between 194.10 m and 196.80 m. A systematic increase in MgO concentrations with depth suggests the primary keel of the intrusion extends below the depth of drilling.

MQ-18-188 tested the P-031 noritic intrusion northeast of the P-032 sulphide zone that had assay results of up to 0.49% Ni, 0.22% Cu and a combined PGM content of 0.7g/t. This hole was shut down early in melanorite at a depth of 672 m due to the termination of the 2018 exploration program. Based on MgO contents the keel of the intrusion occurs at depths below current drilling.

MQ-18-186 was completed to a depth of 417 m to test if mineralized melanorite extended below the near-surface P-030 mineral zone. The hole failed to intercept and a follow-up BHEM survey did not identify any anomalies.

Pingo

Three holes totaling 1,017 m were drilled to evaluate the melanoritic Pingo dyke located approximately 23 km northwest of the Imiak Hill Complex. The melanoritic intrusion has an interpreted strike of >7 km and varies in width from 35 to 165 m. Historic surface grab samples collected along the intrusion returned values of 0.78% Ni and 0.26% Cu; 0.74% Ni and 0.34% Cu; and 0.78% Ni and 0.23% Cu.

Hole MQ-18-183 indicates that the gossanous melanorite exposed at surface extends to depth. BHEM did not identify strongly conductive plates in association with the intrusion.

Hole MQ-18-187 encountered noritic rocks underneath the surface outcrop of mineralized melanorite. The weakly conductive BHEM plates modelled from this hole point back towards the surface gossan and 3D modeling indicates the mineralized segment of the dyke has been tested for a conductive target satisfying an economic threshold above ~400 m depth. The VTEM airborne geophysical response does not provide a focus for further evaluation of the strike-extent of the dyke.

Other Noritic Instructions

P-005: MQ-18-164 was drilled to a depth of 122 m to evaluate a previously identified VTEM anomaly modelled with a 252 Siemen conductance plate. The hole intersected weak but high nickel tenor stringer sulphide mineralization and returned a best value of 0.27% Ni and 0.22% Cu with 1.51% S over 1 m. Follow up BHEM indicates an off-hole anomaly below the drill hole, indicating that the bulk of the mineralization potentially lies at depth.

P-012: MQ-18-159 targeted a near surface 400 Siemen conductance surface pulse EM anomaly and a historic 1483 Siemen off-hole anomaly, modelled from DDH MQ-15-093. The 329 m borehole intersected stringer/vein sulphide mineralization in mafic gneiss from 24.20 to 30.85 m with a best assay of 0.22% Ni, 0.14% Cu over 0.60 m.

P-293: Two holes, MQ-18-180 and 182 were drilled for 338 m to evaluate a set of known VTEM anomalies 2 km north east of the Mikissoq sulphide zone. Both holes intersected norite with associated barren sulphide mineralization.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

Qeqertaasaq Carbonatite Complex

Two holes were drilled to follow up on potential nickel sulphide targets in the Qeqertaasaq Carbonatite Complex (QCC). DDH MQ-18-168 and 169 totaled 553 m and targeted EM anomalies detected during the 2018 surface EM program. MQ-18-168 encountered thin veins of barren pyrite and pyrrhotite. DDH MQ-18-169 intersected a 30 m thick interval of conductive magnetite. Four short drill holes totaling 752 m targeted the concentric radiometric high developed at the periphery of the carbonatite intrusion where historic grab samples from the fenite zone contained elevated tantalum and niobium concentrations. DDH MQ-18-171, the easternmost hole, returned the highest niobium values of 3218 ppm over 0.9 m and 3376 ppm over 0.3 m. The highest tantalum values occur in the northern part of the QCC with hole MQ-18-172 returning values of 166 ppm tantalum over 0.5 m and 163 ppm tantalum over 0.15 m. Mineralization occurs along narrow irregularly shaped veins and segregations in association with fenitized basement rocks.

Outlook - Exploration and Development for 2020-2023

Management is recommending a three-year exploration plan for Maniitsoq with the objective of maximizing the potential value of the asset while extending the period that the Company maintains control of the project. The impact of Covid-19 will prevent the planning and execution of field work in Greenland. The Greenland Government is considering eliminating the expenditure requirements for 2020. Management will assess the situation with the expectation of implementing the three-year plan starting in 2021.

2020 – Apply the Company’s cumulative knowledge to Maniitsoq and other areas of Western Greenland and identify the geoscience data gaps to effective targeting.

– Continue the assessment of hydropower development within watershed 06.H.

2021 - Acquire the additional required geoscience data and additional properties of merit; conduct test drilling if any priority targets are identified and drill ready.

2022 – Execute a major drill campaign of prioritized targets.

This three-year plan will allow for the generation of priority drill targets while drawing down on the three years of exploration credits (Table 1 & 2). The drilling expenditure in 2023 would extend the Company’s 100% ownership of the Maniitsoq project until 2025.

Exploration History

The Company undertook numerous exploration activities and completed various mineralogical studies during the period from 2012 to 2016, including 9,596 metres of drilling in 2016. A National Instrument 43-101 was completed on the Maniitsoq property in March 2016 and QEMSCAN mineralogical analyses on drill core samples documenting favourable liberation and recovery characteristics for Maniitsoq mineralization was reported in April 2016.

Exploration program for the year 2017 commenced in May with the opening of the exploration base camp at Puiattoq Bay and was completed in September. The objective was step-out drilling at the Imiak Hill Complex (IHC), Fossilik and P-013SE, to advance one or more areas to the delineation drilling stage for 2018 (Figures 1 and 2). Infrastructure, environmental baseline studies and ongoing corporate social responsibility initiatives were also undertaken. 11,000 metres of diamond drilling were targeted for 2017 building on 2015 and 2016 exploration results. Borehole gyro, electromagnetic (BHEM), optical tele-viewer and physical properties surveys, surface electromagnetic and Induced Polarization (“IP”) geophysical surveys, mapping, prospecting, sampling, structural geological studies and 3D modeling accompanied drilling.

Twenty-three drill holes totalling 8,767 metres were completed to test mineralized zones and geophysical targets. The 2017 program of drilling on the mineral zones of the IHC and Fossilik areas indicate that the plunging zones of mineralization in the IHC and Fossilik areas extend to depth, but these zones do not increase significantly in width and/or lateral extent, and they are often offset by shallow fault zones. Some of the zones are open and untested at depth, so there is some possibility that these zones link to more extensive zones of mineralization, but the strategy of following these zones with drilling and borehole geophysics was reconsidered as an outcome of the 2017 program of work.

Based on field mapping, prospecting and re-examination of exploration results, the high-MgO parts of the larger Norite Province Intrusions with proximal zones of mineralization (e.g. P-004, P-058, Imiak Hill Complex occurrences) were identified as a possible source for the high nickel grade and tenor mineralization. The larger melanorite (> ~12.5 wt MgO) domains have the capacity to host more extensive zones of breccia and semi-massive sulphide mineralization in association with disseminated sulfides. Although the intrusions are extensively modified by deformation and metamorphism, the contacts and keels of the larger bodies provided focus to next phase of exploration work.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2019

2018 Exploration Activities

Exploration work in 2018 focussed on targeting the outer contacts and keels of differentiated intrusions containing significant amounts of melanorite. Work was prioritized intrusions at Fossilik, the Imiak Hill Complex, P-030, P-032, P-008 and Pingo which are believed to have good potential to host economic accumulations of Ni-Cu-Co-PGM sulfide mineralization. Exploration in 2018 utilized:

● Surface electromagnetic surveys targeting of the melanorite “keel” structures which may contain larger sulfide accumulations from which the known mineral zones were structurally detached;

● A targeted 12,500 metres of diamond drilling, including borehole electromagnetic (BHEM) surveys, and

● Mapping, prospecting, sampling, structural geological studies and 3D modeling

Systematic analysis of geochemical data indicates that melanorites are an important host to disseminated sulphide mineralization and this rock type also hosts thick zones of breccia and semi-massive sulphides. The known mineral lenses at P-004, P-058, and Spotty Hill are adjacent to under-explored intrusions containing melanorite. The melanorite keels of large mineralized intrusions such as Fossilik and target G-025 therefore represent an important geological environment to explore for large tonnage, high grade mineralization.

Figure 1-2 summarizes 2018 drill targets and drill holes including the location of P-008 and the newly identified mineral zone.

The 2018 exploration program commenced in June and was completed in September with 14,288 m of drilling that targeted the roots of large intrusions with thick intervals of melanorite. The total meterage is an increase of 5,521 m from the 2017 program and surpassed the initial planned program of 12,500 m.

A small but important intrusion comprising melanorite at the P-008 target south of Fossilik (Figure 1) was identified. Two holes (MQ-18-162, MQ-18-163) were drilled to test the surface EM target and both intersected significant sulphide mineralization. A third hole, MQ-18-167, followed-up on holes MQ-18-162 and MQ-18-163 and indicate that the zone is more extensive at depth and extends into the footwall at the north wall of the intrusion. A BHEM survey has identified further targets at depth that were tested with DDH MQ-18-177. This hole deviated and was drilled outside of the plunge of the mineralization. Selected drill and assay results are summarised in Table 4.

Melanorite is the host for the majority of the highest-grade nickel mineralization comprising heavily disseminated, net-textured, breccia and massive sulphide mineralization. Targeting of these holes was accomplished using optimized deep-penetrating surface electromagnetic methods including borehole EM surveys to target the melanorite and keel zones of prioritized intrusions at Fossilik, P-030-31-32, P-008, Pingo and in the footprint of the Imiak Hill Complex (Figure 2). The extensive program of work has generated the data and samples required to add significant value to the Maniitsoq database and provides a basis to refine future exploration strategies.

Table 4. Summary of drill and assay results, MQ-18-167.

Target	Drill Hole	Location	Intercept
P-008	MQ-18-167	Fossilik	7.50m @ 1.26% nickel, 0.24% copper,
			0.05% Co and 0.47 g/t Pt+Pd+Au
			including
			5.10m @ 1.68% nickel, 0.29% copper,
			0.06% cobalt and 0.63 g/t Pt+Pd+Au

Drilling and electromagnetic (EM) data have indicated a 335-metre dip-extent to the P-008 mineralization that remains open down dip and along strike. It comprises high tenor (6.5-7.7% nickel), strongly conductive high-grade remobilized sulphide and, less conductive disseminated to blebby sulphide that is typical of the Maniitsoq style of mineralization.

Carbonatite and Ikertoq

On May 4, 2018 the Company was awarded an exploration license (2018/21; “Carbonatite”) over a highly prospective block of ground to the west of the Fossilik Intrusion in an area which has very limited nickel exploration and contains the Qeqertassaq carbonatite complex. The work program for 2018 has consisted of compilation, field work, surface sampling for geochemistry, surface EM work in areas with possible norite-associated mineralization modified by the carbonatite complex and drilling to evaluate the potential for strategic metals (niobium, tantalum, and rare earth elements) in areas outside of the focus areas of historic drilling.

Compilation work and re-interpretation of historic data for the 15 km2 Qeqertassaq Carbonatite Complex, part of the Greenland Norite Belt, was commenced on September 10. The purpose was to identify norite-hosted nickel sulphide targets and focus exploration on the potential for rare and strategic metals. Ground EM surveys were undertaken over targets identified from a 1995 GEOTEM airborne survey. Two drill holes for a total of 553 m were drilled to test resultant conductive responses for potential nickel targets intersected stringers of barren pyrrhotite within a carbonate-magnetite host rock in association with a thick interval of magnetite. A surface rock sampling and drilling program was initiated to assess the strategic metal potential for pyrochlore-hosted tantalum and niobium. A total of 284 rock samples were collected from a zone of elevated tantalum and niobium correlated with historic airborne radiometric and magnetic anomalies at the margin of the Qeqertassaq Carbonatite Complex. Four holes were also drilled for a total of 1,305 m to assess this zone. A report on the strategic metal potential of the Qeqertassaq carbonatite was commissioned, and emphasis was placed on understanding the upside potential of the light rare earth element vein system, the niobium mineralization, and the potential for tantalum mineralization is association with soeviite series rocks.

A second new exploration license (2018/31; “Ikertoq”) was awarded to the Company on May 4, 2018 in an area approximately 110 km north of the Maniitsoq project. This area was intermittently explored by KØ A/S Company, Greenland Gold Resources and Northern Shield Resources. A program of field work was undertaken in July of 2018 centered on the differentiated ultramafic Ikertoq Intrusion and within the footprint of potential ultramafic rocks identified as a result of processing of a Worldview-2 satellite image of the license. The high Ni-tenor sulphide mineralization associated with the center of the Ikertoq Intrusion was shown to be related to localized veins of coarse-grained late felsic micaceous pegmatites that have locally incorporated nickel to form pentlandite. No evidence of primary magmatic concentrations of nickel-cobalt sulfide were found either in association with the Ikertoq Intrusion or in association with the colour anomalies identified from the Worldview-2 satellite image. As of December 31, 2018, the license was relinquished due to no further plans to carry exploration work.

CSR, Environment and Infrastructure

Hydropower Development – A watershed prospecting license for the assessment and development of hydropower resources at Maniitsoq was awarded by the Ministry of Industry, Labour, Trade and Energy of the Greenland Government in March 2017. The two-year license provides for the exclusive right to assess and develop potential hydropower resources with an option for a three-year extension. EFLA Consulting Engineers completed a feasibility analysis of hydropower development within watershed 0.6H in January 2018. The analysis of hydropower within watershed 0.6H identifies two subordinate watersheds 7038-001 F03 and 7038-001 F04 with the capacity to supply a 12 MW base load and an 18 MW maximum load and generate 96 GWh per annum for the Maniitsoq Project. The two watersheds included in this assessment have the capacity to supply the required hydroelectricity at an installed cost of $5.621 USD/kW and $5.049 USD/kW respectively at a CAPEX of between $101.2 and $90.9 million USD respectively. Operating expenses are 1-2% of CAPEX. Both watersheds encapsulate or are close to priority nickel sulphide mineralized zones and the Seqi Port.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Corporate Social Responsibility - The 2018 program for Corporate Social Responsibility was completed on August 24 with community presentations in Sisimiut, Maniitsoq, Atammik and Napasoq and presentations to the Mineral Licencing and Safety Authority and the Ministry of Industry and Energy of the Greenland government in Nuuk. The National Association for Hunters and Fishers (KNAPF) also located in Nuuk was updated on 2018 exploration activities. The Company renewed its support for the annual Greenland mineral hunt.

Environmental Surveys – Sampling to establish baseline geochemical values for low total dissolved solids freshwaters, fauna and flora was continued in areas of active exploration and in the area of watershed 0.6H. Watershed survey area surveys were undertaken in support of ongoing hydropower assessments that are ongoing. All surveys have been undertaken by qualified personnel of Golder Associates (Copenhagen). Final reports have been received for both environmental surveys and weather station databases. Weather stations have been removed from the field as sufficient data has been acquired to prepare a model for wind-related particulate dispersion in the Maniitsoq area.

Tailings Facility - Discussions were held with the MLSA and the Greenland Department of Nature, Environment and Energy regarding the process for selecting and developing a tailings facility to support nickel mining and milling activities. This process is required to be undertaken as part of the submission of an exploitation license for extraction of nickel ore.

Canada Nickel Projects - Sudbury, Ontario

Post Creek Property

The Company entered into an option agreement in April 2010, subsequently amended in March 2013, to acquire rights to Post Creek Property located within the Sudbury Mining District of Ontario. On August 1, 2015, the company has completed the required consideration and acquired 100% interest in the property. The Company is obligated to pay advances on the NSR of $10,000 per annum, which will be deducted from any payments to be made under the NSR.

The property is located 35 kilometres east of Sudbury in Norman, Parkin, Alymer and Rathburn townships and consists of 39 unpatented mining claims in two separate blocks, covering a total area of 912 hectares held by the Company. The center of the property occurs at UTM coordinates 513000mE, 5184500mN (WGS84, UTM Zone 17N). The Post Creek property lies adjacent to the Whistle Offset Dyke Structure which hosts the past–producing Whistle Offset and Podolsky Cu-Ni-PGM mines. Post Creek lies along an interpreted northeast extension of the corridor containing the Whistle Offset Dyke. Offset Dykes and Footwall deposits account for a significant portion of all ore mined in the Sudbury nickel district and, as such, represent favourable exploration targets. Key lithologies are Quartz Diorite related to Offset Dykes and Sudbury Breccia associated with Footwall rocks of the Sudbury Igneous Complex which both represent potential controls on mineralization.

Outlook – Exploration and Development for 2020-2021

The objective of further compilation work on the Post Creek Project was to provide a basis for prospecting and sampling of parts of the property that have received incomplete historic exploration. The targets comprised radial and concentric offset dykes of the Sudbury Igneous Complex which are known to be associated with high grade Cu-Au-PGE sulfide mineralization.

2020 – Two targets in the southern part of the Post Creek Property were flagged for prospecting: 1. The footprint around a quartz diorite boulder which is slightly different in texture and composition to the main stripped outcrop of quartz diorite; 2. A grab sample from a gossan in a zone of Sudbury Breccia yielded 0.276g/t Au and 2.62% Cu, but no significant Ni, Pt, or Pd. Neither of these target domains has a response in historic IP, VTEM, or surface EM. The chalcopyrite mineralization sits within the main breccia belt that extends NNE of Whistle and controls the Podolsky Deposit, so it warrants follow-up with prospecting and sampling.

2021 – Prospect and search for mineralization and/or quartz diorite on parts of the Post Creek Properties that remain overlooked by previous exploration. Complete geophysical surveys over prospective target areas, and conduct test drilling if any priority targets are identified and drill ready.

This two-year plan will allow for the generation of priority drill targets while drawing down on the available exploration credits. The work expenditure in 2021 would extend the Company’s 100% ownership of the Post Creek Project into 2025 and beyond.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Exploration History

(All drill intercepts described in this section refer to core lengths not true widths)

Previous operators completed geological, geophysical and Mobile Metal Ion soil geochemical surveys. Highlights of this work included:

● A drill intersection returning 0.48% copper, 0.08% nickel, 0.054 grams/tonne palladium, 0.034 grams/tonne platinum and 0.020 grams/tonne gold over a core length of 0.66 metres; and

● A grab sample from broken outcrop which returned 0.83% nickel, 0.74% copper, 0.07% cobalt, 2.24 grams/tonne Pt and 1.05 grams/tonne Pd.

A NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report was completed by Dr. Walter Peredery, formerly of INCO, in 2011 and subsequently accepted by the Securities Commission.

During the period of 2011 to 2016, the Company carried out exploration programs comprising ground geophysics (magnetics and electromagnetics), diamond drilling (1,533 metres in 7 drill holes), borehole electromagnetic surveys, georeferencing of selected claim posts, prospecting, trenching, geological mapping, sampling and petrographic studies. This work has identified new occurrences of Quartz Diorite dyke and Sudbury Breccia, both of which are geologically significant lithologies known to host ore deposits associated with the Sudbury structure. Ground traverses, trenching and mapping carried out in 2016 outlined a Sudbury Breccia belt of at least 300 metres by 300 metres in size which lies along the same trend at the Whistle Offset Dyke located on KGHM property to the southwest. These findings support the potential for the Post Creek property to host both Footwall and Offset Dyke type deposits.

In 2017, the Company initiated support for a two-year MITAC project whereby an M.Sc. student will be carrying out field and laboratory study aimed at understanding the mineral resource potential of the Post Creek Property.

2018 Exploration Activities

A two-hole drill program was completed in 2018 and reported in 2019 with the objectives of assessing magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies within a corridor of breccias and quartz diorite extending radially away from the Whistle Offset and to provide a platform for downhole geophysics (Figure 3).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Figure 3. Location of the Post Creek Project and the Sudbury Breccia Zone.

Hole PC-18-21 was drilled beneath an outcrop of quartz diorite to establish the depth extent of the dyke and hole PC-18-22 tested the breccia belt immediately to the north of the Whistle Offset Dyke (Figure 4). Both drill holes encountered a thick sequence of mafic volcanic rocks however quartz diorite, partially melted country rocks or Footwall-style mineralization were not encountered. DDH PC-18-21 did intersect a thick interval of volcanogenic massive sulphide-type sphalerite mineralization including:

7.50 m @ 3.55% zinc and 0.82 ppm silver including

● 3.70 m @ 4.66% zinc and 0.58 ppm silver and

● 0.8 m @ 10.96% zinc and 3.05 ppm silver

Multiple BHEM anomalies were detected both north and south of the zinc mineralization and are potential drill targets for volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralization.

Hole PC-18-022 tested the possible strike extension of the Whistle Offset in a broad corridor of Sudbury Breccia and was collared in an area of anomalous copper values in outcrop within a well-defined ground magnetic anomaly. A thick sequence of mafic volcanic rocks overprinted with locally developed shear and breccia zones were intersected. One of the shear zones hosted vein-type chalcopyrite mineralization. A strongly magnetic, highly altered ultramafic unit is responsible for the observed magnetic anomaly.

Corporate Social Responsibility

The Company has established excellent working relationships with the Wahnapitae First Nation (“WFN”) at Capreol (Ontario) commencing with a community presentation in May and followed up with ongoing contact with the Resource and Environmental officer. Prior to the initiation of drilling all drill sites and access routes to drill sites were reviewed by the WFN and no issues were identified. A post-drilling review of the drill sites indicated no problems related to drilling. The relationship with WFN continues to develop positively. In 2019 North American Nickel financially supported the 2019 Pow-Wow celebration held at Capreol. Prospecting and exploration on the property is planned and will include assistance of casual labour hired from the WFN community.

Halcyon Property

As at the date of this MD&A, the company holds 100% interest in Halcyon Property and is obligated to pay advances on the NSR of $8,000 per annum, which will be deducted from any payments to be made under the NSR.

The property is located 35 km northeast of Sudbury in the Parkin and Aylmer townships, and consists of 53 unpatented mining claims for a total of 864 hectares. It is readily accessible by paved and all-weather gravel road. Halcyon is adjacent to the Post Creek property and is approximately 2 km north of the producing Podolsky Mine of FNX Mining. Previous operators on the property defined numerous conductive zones based on induced polarization (I.P.) surveys with coincident anomalous Mobile Metal Ions soil geochemistry. Base and precious metal mineralization have been found in multiple locations on the property but follow-up work was never done. The former producing Jon Smith Mine (nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum) is situated 1 km North of the property.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Outlook – Exploration and Development for 2020-2021

The objective of further compilation work on the Halcyon Project was to provide a basis for prospecting and sampling of parts of the property that have received incomplete historic exploration. The targets comprised radial and concentric offset dykes of the Sudbury Igneous Complex which are known to be associated with high grade Cu-Au-PGE sulfide mineralization.

2020 – The Halcyon portion of the property has 2 priority areas flagged for follow-up in 2020, viz: 1. Possible Sudbury type quartz diorite in historic drill core associated with IP chargeability and B horizon soil Cu-Ni anomalies; 2. Two areas with minimal historic work that rest on the corridor projection of the Milnet Fault Offset of the Parkin QD with no EM or IP coverage. In these target areas, NAN will be prospecting for mineralization and/or radial/concentric offsets dykes located along stratigraphic horizons similar to those controlling the inflexion in the Parkin Offset at the historic Milnet Deposit.

2021 – Prospect and search for mineralization and/or quartz diorite on parts of the Halcyon Property that remain overlooked by previous exploration. Complete geophysical surveys over prospective target areas, and conduct test drilling if any priority targets are identified and drill ready.

This two-year plan will allow for the generation of priority drill targets while drawing down on the available exploration credits. The work expenditure in 2021 would extend the Company’s 100% ownership of the Halcyon Project into 2025 and beyond.

Exploration History

During the period 2011 to 2016, the Company carried out a small amount of exploration including ground geophysics (magnetics and electromagnetics), diamond drilling (301 metres in 1 drill hole), a borehole electromagnetic survey, georeferencing of selected claim posts, prospecting, geological mapping, sampling and petrographic studies. The single hole located on the southeast corner of the property was drilled with the purpose of providing geological information and to provide a platform for borehole pulse EM (“BHPEM”). No anomalies were detected although quartz diorite breccia and partial melt material with 2-3% disseminated pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite was intersected over short core lengths. The property is strategically located adjacent to the Company’s Post Creek property, located immediately to the south, where occurrences of both quartz diorite and Sudbury Breccia have been identified.

Work completed on the property during the year ending December 31, 2016 consisted of geological traverses, prospecting and sampling and was carried out on the southern portion of the Halcyon Property. This program was carried out concurrently with similar work on the Post Creek Property. Assay, whole rock and thin section samples were collected for analysis and study. Results have been received and compiled.

In November 2016, a georeferencing program was completed involving the acquisition of DGPS coordinates for claim posts for selected claims.

Quetico Property

During FY 2018, the Company acquired 809 claims known as Quetico located within the Sudbury Mining District of Ontario. The Company incurred total acquisition and exploration related costs of $64,256. Cells were acquired to assess (i) the Quetico Sub-province corridor, which hosts intrusions with Ni-Cu-Co-PGM mineralization related to a late 2690 Ma Archean magmatic event, and (ii). the Neoproterozoic (1100 Ma MCR) magmatic event and related intrusions. Three clusters of claims cells, labeled Quetico South, East and West cover magnetic features interpreted to represent small differentiated intrusions. The review of government geological and geophysical data, and historic assessment file data was completed in 2019 and recommendations for additional exploration work were prepared. An application has been lodged with the Mining Lands Administration of the Ontario Government to extend the tenure of the claim blocks due to impact from COVID-19 on implementation of exploration work.

Outlook – Exploration and Development for 2020-2021

2020 – The long-lived Quetico structural corridor controls a number of Mid-Continent Rift-related mafic-ultramafic intrusions formed during an early phase of rifting that is known to be prospective for small heavily mineralized intrusions such as Eagle and Tamarack. The Eastern Quetico claim block is located adjacent to the Current Lake Property where differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusions in cross-linking structures of the Quetico Fault control the distribution of mineralization in the Current Lake Deposit and other mineralized intrusions. MCR-aged peridotites and possible prospective reverse-polarity mafic intrusions on NAN ground next to Current Lake. Compilation work has identified peridotites with similar geochemical signature to the Current Lake Intrusion on the Eastern claim group. A program of prospecting, sampling and geochemical analysis will be completed in 2020.

17 | TSXV: NAN / YEAR END 2019

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

2021 – Subject to the identification of mineralization and/or ultramafic intrusive rock bodies in the eastern claim block, NAN will revisit plans design to complete an airborne VTEM survey which was designed to identify coincident EM responses in association with the magnetic response expected from differentiated mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the Quetico structural zone.

Subject to the extension of the original Quetico claims, this two-year plan will allow for the generation of priority drill targets while drawing down on the available exploration credits. The work expenditure in 2020 and 2021 will extend the Company’s 100% ownership of the East Quetico Project into 2025 and beyond.

Lingman Lake Property

The Company digitally staked 188 cells/claims known as Lingman Lake on April 15, 2019. The property occurs about 65 km South East of Red Sucker Lake First Nation and about 35 km southwest of Sachigo Lake First Nation, approximately 650 km northwest of Thunder Bay. The Company incurred total acquisition and exploration related costs of $26,453. The Lingman Nickel Project, covers a portion of the Archean age Lingman Lake Greenstone Belt that includes tholeiitic-komatiitic rocks and sulphide facies iron formation. Historic field work has identified ultramafic rocks with elevated nickel and copper in grab samples. A 2011 VTEM survey shows a strong magnetic response over 13 km in strike length with numerous coincident magnetic/EM anomalies that are untested. The compilation of historic data has been completed and the Company is preparing plans for an initial program of field work to evaluate the Ni-Cu-Co and precious metal sulphide potential.

Loveland (Enid Creek) Nickel Property

The Loveland Nickel Property is located 30 km northwest of Timmins and has year-round access. The property is underlain by a mineralized differentiated mafic-ultramafic complex that is host to the historic Enid Creek showing. Recent analyses of a historic drill sample by the Ministry of Northern Development and Mines in Ontario returned 2.74% Ni, 1.3% Cu, 1.66ppm Pd. A VTEMMAX survey completed in 2017 identified several new and untested conductors. One of the targets extends for 950 m in strike length and is located to the southeast along strike from the known mineralization. The exploration target is high grade nickel mineralization located in a depression or embayment structure at the base of the intrusion.

On September 25, 2019, the Company entered into earn in agreement with International Explorers and Prospectors Inc. whereby the Company may acquire a 100% interest in the Loveland Nickel. Consideration for the acquisition is $1,525,000 in cash, 300,000 post-consolidation common shares and $4,500,000 in work commitments over a 5-year period. The TSX Venture Exchange approved the transaction for filing on October 24, 2019. The 300,000 common shares were issued subsequent to the quarter as a purchase consideration with a value of $60,000.

During YTD 2019, the Company incurred acquisition related costs of $82,560.

US Nickel Project - Michigan

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. The reclamation deposit was reallocated to receivables at December 31, 2019 and received subsequent to year end.

18 | TSXV: NAN / YEAR END 2019

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Project Pipeline

Due to long term nickel market forecasts indicating a supply deficit developing, the Company believes that it is a good time to acquire nickel exploration and development projects that could be developed assuming conservative long-term nickel prices. The company maintains a nickel project generation activity focusing on high prospectivity projects in counties with the Rule of Law and reasonable development economics.

In the context of rising nickel prices and positive developments in the electric vehicle market, the Company will look to enhance shareholder value by aggressively expanding its nickel sulphide project pipeline. The Company’s staff are proceeding with compilation work on prospective geological environments related to North American Archean craton margins where structural space controls the development of mafic-ultramafic intrusions. The objective of this work is to identify underexplored or unexplored open system intrusions where large zones of high-grade sulphide mineralization are controlled within the footprints of very small intrusions. The development of a Moroccan-based subsidiary company is proceeding and will provide an opportunity to assess nickel sulphide potential throughout the country.

Financial Capability

The Company is an exploration and development stage entity and has not yet achieved profitable operations. The business of the Company entails significant risks. The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property costs is dependent upon several 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.

At the end of FY 2019, the Company had working capital of $746,049 (FY 2018 - $2,416,411) and reported accumulated deficit of $54,340,875 (FY 2018 - $29,343,420). The Company will require additional funds to continue its planned operations and meet its obligations.

As at December 31, 2019, the Company had $1,097,856 in available cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (December 31, 2018— $2,838,669). There are no sources of operating cash flows. Given the Company’s current financial position and the ongoing exploration and evaluation expenditures, the Company will need to raise additional capital through the issuance of equity or other available financing alternatives to continue funding its operating, exploration and evaluation activities, and eventual development of the mineral properties. Although the Company has been successful in its past fund-raising activities, there is no assurance as to the success of future fundraising efforts or as to the sufficiency of funds raised in the future.

On December 18, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing for gross proceeds of $1,727,628.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS For the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2018  

Results of Operations

Net loss of $28,859,111 in FY 2019 was higher by $25,837,256 compared to a loss of $3,021,855 in FY 2018. The higher loss in FY 2019 was mainly driven by impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and lower interest income offset by lower property investigation costs, lower foreign exchange loss and lower general and administrative expenses during FY 2019, compared to FY 2018.

Total Assets

Total assets during FY 2019 decreased by a net of $27,461,005 from the end of FY 2018. The decrease is mainly attributed to a decrease in exploration and evaluation assets of $25,845,727, decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $1,741,187, and decrease in equipment of $6,955, offset by an increase in receivables and other current assets of $122,818 and increase to advances of $24,000.

Investment in Exploration and Evaluation Assets

Investment in exploration and evaluation assets relates to the Greenland property and properties in Ontario. During FY 2019, the Company spent a total of $645,774 in cash additions to exploration and evaluation assets, of which $390,443 related to Greenland and $255,331 to other properties located in Canada. The company also paid $51,000 in non-cash consideration for acquisition related costs. At the end of December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a significant write-down of its Greenland exploration and evaluation asset of $26,499,159 resulting in the total remaining book value of $38,633,309 in exploration and evaluation assets.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Going Concern

Liquidity

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt and the securing of joint venture partners where appropriate.

The Company’s principal requirements for cash over the next twelve months will be to fund the ongoing exploration costs at its mineral properties, general corporate and administrative costs and to service the Company’s current trade and other payables.

On December 18, 2019, the Company closed a non-brokered private placement equity financing for gross proceeds of $1,727,628. The offering consisted of the issuance of 2,224,666 flow-through common shares of the Company at a price of $0.18 per flow-through share and 7,373,265 units of the Company. Each unit issued consisted of one common share in the capital of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one common the share for a period of 24 months following the closing date at a price of $0.25. All Securities issued pursuant to this offering will be subject to a hold period expiring April 19, 2020. The Company incurred total share issuance costs of $343,639. The Company allocated a $286,662 fair value to the warrants issued in conjunction with the private placement. The fair value of warrants was determined on a pro-rata basis 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 1.73% and an expected volatility of 147.26%.

The net proceeds from the sale of the units will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

This financing transaction improved the liquidity and increased the capital resources of the Company.

Working Capital

As at December 31, 2019, The Company had working capital of $746,049 (December 31, 2018 - $2,416,411), calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities. The decrease in working capital is mainly due to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments.

Going Concern

As at December 31, 2019 the Company had accumulated losses totaling $54,340,875. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support of shareholders, its ability to raise capital through the issuance of its securities, and/or obtaining long-term financing.

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties.

The 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 pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Future Accounting Standards and Pronouncements

Amendments to References to the Conceptual Framework in IFRS Standards

Both documents are effective from January 1, 2020 with earlier application permitted.

Some Standards include references to the 1989 and 2010 versions of the Framework.
