North American Nickel Inc has commenced exploration on the extensively mineralized Bell Lake quartz diorite offset dyke. The property is located on the southwest corner of the Sudbury Intrusive Complex close to the town of Nairn Centre, about 50 kilometers from Sudbury. Access to the property is excellent via the Trans Canada Highway and a system of gravel roads.

Mr Mark Fedikow president & COO of North American Nickel Inc said that "The Bell Lake Offset dyke is situated along the prolifically mineralized Worthington Offset and its location on the Offset was a significant factor in acquiring the property. Building on our historic database from the Bell Lake property has allowed North American Nickel to plan for geophysical and diamond drilling approaches to exploration on this dyke. The fact that the dyke is exposed at surface and is extensively mineralized with disseminated and near solid sulphide mineralization carrying significant nickel, copper and total precious metal values provides us with an immediate advantage to assess the economic feasibility of this property."
