North American Nickel Acquires Large Mineral Exploration Licence in Greenland

North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV:NAN,OTC:WSCRF) reports it has a Mineral Exploration Licence to explore numerous nickel–copper sulphide occurrences.

The press release is quoted as saying,

The Maniitsoq area is underlain predominantly by Archean gneisses. Supracrustal rocks comprise about 10% of the area and consist mainly of amphibolites, but cumulate mafic-ultramafic rocks also occur and locally contain nickel – copper mineralization. However, most of the nickel discovered to date is associated with younger, undeformed norite intrusions that are concentrated in (but not restricted to) a 15 km wide by 75 km long arcuate belt, referred to as the Greenland Norite Belt (GNB), that rims a large, complex known as the Finnefjeld gneiss complex.
