Plays like this come along once every 10-15 years
I totally agree with you robin, I can't find any other company with a mineralized nickel belt 75km x 15km long, and that's huge, larger than most Iv'e seen.
I bought and happy I did, long for 2013 drill results.

Tests up to 35 % Ni & 34 % Cu
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 11, 2013 – North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN) (OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received a report on the results of mineralogical studies performed by SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”) on three samples of mineralized drill core selected by NAN from NAN’s 100% owned Maniitsoq Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project in southwest Greenland. Two of the samples came from the Imiak Hill zone and one from the Spotty Hill zone.
The objectives of the study were to identify and quantify the nickel, copper and cobalt-bearing minerals within the samples and to determine the liberation and association characteristics of the nickel and copper sulphides.
Highlights and selected results are presented below.
John Pattison, North American Nickel’s Chief Geologist states: “QEMSCAN is a new technology that gives us a detailed picture of the mineralogy of our sulphide mineralization and host rocks and how it might affect the metallurgy in a mining/processing scenario. At this early stage of exploration it is very helpful for management and investors to know that, based on the mineralogical characteristics of the samples analyzed, there is potential for high nickel recoveries from both the Imiak and Spotty Hill zones.”
QEMSCAN REPORT HIGHLIGHTS
• All three samples show high potential nickel recovery. Mineralogically limiting grade-recovery curves indicate maximum potential nickel grades of 35% at recoveries of 84 to 87%.
• Pentlandite is the main nickel-bearing mineral and it contains 95.5 to 96.3% of all the nickel in the samples. Silicate hosted nickel comprises less than 1% of all the nickel.
• Pentlandite P80 grain sizes range from 53 to 65 µm.
• Total potentially floatable pentlandite ranges from 96.3 to 97.6%.
• All copper is hosted by chalcopyrite. Chalcopyrite P80 grain sizes range from 30 to 40 µm.
• Potential recoveries for copper are variable across the samples. Mineralogically limiting grade-recovery curves indicate maximum potential copper grades of 34% at recoveries of 52 to 77%.
• Total potentially floatable chalcopyrite ranges from 87.1 to 95.4%.
• Pentlandite and pyrite are the main hosts of the cobalt in the samples.
It was good to see the interest and share appreciation. Appears the offers are lighter. Seems that holders are waiting for the drilling news etc.
I think the price jumped a bit due to the up coming drilling.
Obviously more news is coming, I'm holding for assays.
GLTA
Anyone know why the big jump in share price today? It's nice to see!
Thanks HowdyDoo,
I also believe this company will deliver in 2013.
I hold a small position I bought it a few months ago.
Not too many jrs have $$$$ to work their projects.
NAN.V/WSCRF has $4 million + for 2013.
Drills will turn soon and results to follow.
All the best.

Hey, thanks for posting. I have a good feeling about this company. Hopefully they have a bright and prosperous future!
FYI,
Vancouver, British Columbia, May 28, 2013 – North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN) (OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has finalized the 2013 exploration plan for its 100% owned Maniitsoq project. The program, which is scheduled to commence in mid-June, will consist of a minimum of 3,000 meters of diamond drilling to follow-up on 2012 discoveries and test new geological, geophysical and geochemical targets identified from a review of exploration datasets. Surface pulse time domain electromagnetic (PEM) surveys and 550 line-km of helicopter time domain, electromagnetic and magnetic surveying will also be undertaken in areas not covered in 2011 and 2012.
NAN CEO, Rick Mark states: “We expect this to be a busy, exciting and productive year at Maniitsoq. Our experience on the project for the last two years and particularly our camp/drilling experience last year has allowed us to ramp up for our planned $5,500,000 2013 program smoothly and efficiently. Chief Geologist John Pattison has been full time on the project since we left Greenland last September. COO Neil Richardson will accompany our expanded ground team to Maniitsoq in early June with drilling expected to begin on, or around, June 21, 2013. Target identification has been very successful, as we now have identified more than 100 targets for consideration at Maniitsoq.”
Sometimes I think there full of sh** too. But I'm not too heavily invested. Plus nickel is an awesome and pretty metal, so I'm gonna stick with them and see what happens. But it's probably going nowhere! Lol. How deep are you into them?
Wait!. I think I found the info. These companies havent generated any operating revenue for years.
Lol, youre right. I can't get the numbers either!
So what are the operating revenues for these three companies Harvest/NAN and VMS?
I cant ascertain the real value of the current pps based on profits! Seems to me the only thing these three comapnies are trading in is shares and loaning each other money in between.
Thanks and sorry for the late reply.
NAN.V will be drilling in the summer, I expect news soon.
They have a very large nickel belt to explore.
Thanks for posting. I expect this to be a good stock in the future. Lets hope?
North American Nickel - Maniitsoq Impact Crater
METALLURGICAL TEST WORK CONFIRMS PENTLANDITE
Vancouver, B.C. – March 14, 2013. North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN) (OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) North American Nickel ("NAN") is pleased to announce that it has received the first results of metallurgical studies performed by SGS Canada Inc. (“SGS”). SGS, using QEMSCAN analysis on samples of mineralized drill core from NAN’s 100% owned Maniitsoq Ni-Cu-Co-PGE sulphide project in southwest Greenland, has clearly identified the nickel mineralization as being pentlandite.
This is a positive first step for the metallurgy of Maniitsoq because pentlandite is the principle nickel mineral in the world
’s nickel sulphide camps.
On the completion of these metallurgical studies by SGS, NAN hopes to establish the macro parameters that will guide subsequent larger scale metallurgical testing of the multiple surface and near surface Ni, Cu, Co and PGM bearing sulphide prospects located within Maniitsoq’s 75 km by 15 km Greenland Norite belt.
The QEMSCAN analysis is conducted in three stages with stage one now complete and stage two and three in progress and results expected in April.
John Pattison, North American Nickel’s Chief Geologist states: “Stage one, the field stitch (FS) imagery, covers only small sections of core, but the results are very encouraging as we can now confirm medium and coarse-grained pentlandite in two of the three samples. We look forward to receiving the results of the particle mineral analysis (PMA) as they will provide us with an indication of the liberation characteristics of the sulphides. While the Maniitsoq project is at a relatively early stage, it is not too early to begin investigating the metallurgical characteristics of the mineralization, as we plan for success in drilling several targets in 2013.”

Pentlandite: World Occurrence’s
Pentlandite is found within the lower margins of mineralised layered intrusions, the prime example being the Bushveld igneous complex, South Africa, the Voiseys Bay troctolite intrusive complex in Canada, the Duluth gabbro, in North America, and various other localities throughout the world. In these locations it forms an important nickel ore.
Pentlandite is also the principal ore mineral won from Kambalda type komatiitic nickel ore deposits, the type examples of which are in the Yilgarn Craton of Western Australia. Similar deposits exist at Nkomati, Namibia, in the Thompson Belt, Canada, and a few examples from Brazil.
Pentlandite, but primarily chalcopyrite and PGEs, are won from the supergiant Norilsk nickel deposit, in trans-Siberian Russia.
The Sudbury deposit in Ontario, Canada, is associated with a meteorite impact crater. Pentlandite-pyrite-pyrrhotite ore in this location was formed from an extensive melt sheet formed by melting of rock post impact, which became sulfur saturated and formed extensive sheetlike ore deposits.

Your board won't be so lonely much longer.Plays like this come along once every 10-15 years.This company likes to put out PRs to let the world know what's going on with their project.With over 500 samples in the lab,and long intercepts all but guaranteed,they will have a field day putting out PRs for the next 3-4 months.They also need to raise cash through either a PP or debenture,so a major pump will happen,and it'll start with the first results anytime.
100% ownwership of the whole pile.You can't beat that!
Announces Preliminary Results - Maniitsoq Nickel Project
“All five holes intersected disseminated nickel copper sulphide mineralization at depths of 2 to 52 meters below surface.”
“The recognition of this bulk mineable nickel copper mineralization...”
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Vancouver, B.C. – October 3, 2012. North American Nickel Inc. (TSX VENTURE: NAN) (OTCBB: WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 108) North American Nickel ("NAN") is pleased to announce that the preliminary results from its first drill campaign at the 100% owned Maniitsoq project in Southwest Greenland indicate the property has the potential to host not only high-grade, semi-massive to massive sulphide type nickel copper deposits, but disseminated, bulk mineable nickel copper deposits, as well.
Historically, nickel exploration at Maniitsoq has focused mainly on massive sulphide type mineralization. Two of NAN’s 2012 drill holes (MQ-12-001 and 002) intersected semi-massive to massive sulphide mineralization in noritic rocks at the known Imiak Hill occurrence in the northern part of the Greenland Norite belt. This style of mineralization responds well to electromagnetic (EM) techniques and the results of bore hole EM (BHEM) surveys indicate that the mineralization is open down plunge, as described in a NAN press release dated September 6, 2012.
Importantly, significant amounts of disseminated, bulk mineable nickel copper style sulphide mineralization were encountered in two of NAN’s 2012 holes located approximately 1.25 km east of Imiak Hill at an occurrence known as Spotty Hill.
Historical drilling at Spotty Hill consisted of five closely spaced holes, 32.8 to 59.8 m in length, drilled within a 120 x 40 meter area. All five holes intersected disseminated nickel copper sulphide mineralization at depths of 2 to 52 meters below surface. NAN’s drill holes were spaced 80 meters apart and went deeper. In hole MQ-12-05, NAN intersected disseminated mineralization over a core length of 118.8 meters to a depth of 130 meters below surface, significantly increasing the known depth extent of the mineralization.
NAN Chief Geologist, John Pattison, states: “Once we saw the disseminated, bulk mineable nickel copper style mineralization in core, it provided us with a new understanding of what is possible within this camp-sized land package. Fortunately, two of our geologists, Neil Richardson and Mark Fedikow were at the Maniitsoq camp and we still had time to identify and visit several potential sites for this style of mineralization before the season ended. The recognition of this bulk mineable nickel copper mineralization provides us with a wider scope for discovery and, it appears, many additional targets for our 2013 program.”
In the press release dated September 20, 2012, NAN announced the drill program at Maniitsoq totalled 1,550 meters of diamond drilling in nine holes. (See Figure 1 for locations of areas drilled). A total of 531 core samples have been submitted to Activation Laboratories for analysis and results are pending.
The program was originally planned to include 10 holes totalling up to 2,000 meters. This was based on an average hole length of 200 meters. Several drill holes intersected the target well above 150 meters, so it was not necessary to take them to 200 meters. Also, two targets in the southern part of the property were not drilled as the cost of moving the drill such a long distance, so late in the season with deteriorating weather, could have driven costs up to an unacceptable level. It was decided to leave these targets for next season’s drilling.
