The attached Exhibit 99.1 was disseminated on May 3, 2011 to announce that the
Company’s listing application has been conditionally accepted by the TSX Venture
Exchange.  Once listed, the common shares of North American Nickel will be
trading under the symbol “NAN”.

The Company also announced that subject to regulatory approval, North American
Nickel has arranged two non-brokered private placements. The proceeds of the
private placements will be used for exploration on NAN's properties in the
Sudbury, Ontario and Thompson, Manitoba mining camps; and will be added to
general working capital.

NAN will complete a private placement of flow-through shares for up to
$1-million at $0.22 per share. Additionally, the Company will complete a private
placement of units for up to $2-million at $0.20 per unit. Each unit will
comprise one common share plus one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant
shall be valid for 18-months, subject to earlier expiry on the occurrence of a
"Trigger Event"; each warrant will entitle the Purchaser to purchase one (1)
additional share at an exercise price of $0.35 per share. A triggering event
(the "Trigger Event") shall occur when the closing price for the Company's
common shares on the TSX Venture Exchange is greater than $0.50 per share for a
period of twenty (20) consecutive trading days. On the occurrence of a Trigger
Event at any time more than 120 days after closing, the Company may within 10
days of such a Trigger Event (but is not required to do so) shorten the term of
the warrants by giving thirty (30) days notice to the holders by way of a news
release, in which case the warrants shall expire within thirty (30) days of the
date of dissemination of the news release. Finders fees may be payable in
connection with the private placement in such amounts as may be permitted under
the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.

Additional information with respect to the Company is contained in the Company's
Listing Application (TSX Venture Exchange Form 2B) which has been filed on
SEDAR. In addition, the Company has filed a Technical Report on SEDAR regarding
its Post Creek Property prepared by Walter V. Peredery, Ph.D., P.Geo., in
compliance with National Instrument 43-101. The Listing Application and
Technical Report are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
