North American Nickel Inc announces that it has acquired a mineral exploration licence granting exclusive exploration rights to a 4,841 kilometers area covering numerous high grade nickel copper sulphide occurrences associated with norite and other mafic ultramafic intrusions situated along the southwest coast of Greenland.

The new acquisition, called The Maniitsoq Project, is named after the nearest community which is approximately 160 kilometers north of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland. Ports in this part of Greenland have a year round shipping season.
