North American Nickel Posts First Assay Results from Maniitsoq

North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV:NAN,OTCBB:WSCRF) released the first assay results from a diamond drill program that began in June at its Greenland-based Maniitsoq project.
As of the end of August, 4,981 meters across 27 holes had been completed; the release covers results from seven of those holes.
Highlights include:

• Spotty Hill zone extended 80m down plunge by hole MQ-15-075 which intersected 1.06% Ni, 0.24% Cu and 0.31 g/t TPM(total precious metals incl. Pt, Pd & Au) over 15.55 metres including 1.77% Ni, 0.23% Cu and 0.46 g/t TPM over 6.0 metres.
• Magmatic sulphides intersected over appreciable widths at P-058 in hole MQ-15-077 which returned 0.55% Ni and 0.27% Cu over 21.5 metres.
• New copper-rich norite-hosted mineralization intersected at P-059 while drilling previously untested EM anomalies. Hole MQ-15-078 returned 1.16% Ni, 1.00% Cu and 0.27 g/t TPM over 12.15 metres.
• P-013 Centre mineralization expanded by hole MQ-15-079 which intersected 1.03% Ni and 0.39% Cu over 10.65 metres and 1.15% Ni and 0.18% Cu over 5.25 metres.

Keith Morrison, CEO of North American Nickel, commented:

The success of these early 2015 drill holes, continue to provide additional evidence of both the geographically diversified nature, and the high level of nickel prospectivity, at Maniitsoq. This data will be used to prioritize targets for detailed follow-up drilling next season.
