Deal Private Placement
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - October 31, 2019) -
North American Nickel Inc. (TSXV: NAN) (OTCQB:
WSCRF) (CUSIP: 65704T 405)
(the "
Company
" or "
NAN
") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with
Laurentian Bank Securities Inc. (the "Underwriter") pursuant to which the Underwriter has agreed to purchase for resale
$2,000,000 of securities of the Company on a bought-deal private placement basis (the "
Offering
"). The Offering shall consist of
a combination of flow-through common shares of the Company (the "
FT Shares
") at a price of $0.18 per FT Share and units of
the Company (the "
Units
") at a price of $0.18 per Unit. Each Unit issued pursuant to the Offering will consist of one common
share in the capital of the Company (a "Common Share") and one-half of one Common Share purchase warrant (each whole
common share purchase warrant, a "
Warrant
"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one Common Share for a
period of twenty-four (24) months following the closing date, at a price of $0.25.
The Company has also granted the Underwriter the option to purchase up to an additional 15% FT Shares and Units, in such
proportion as the Underwriter may determine, exercisable at any time until 48 hours prior to closing date, to cover over-
allotments, if any.
The net proceeds from the sale of the Units will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.
The gross
proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the FT Shares will be used to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses that are
"flow-through mining expenditures" (as such terms are defined in the
Income Tax Act
(Canada)) on the Company assets in
Ontario, which will be renounced to the subscribers with an effective date no later than December 31, 2019, in the aggregate
amount of not less than the total amount of the gross proceeds raised from the issue of FT Shares.
The Offering is scheduled to close on or about November 22, 2019 and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited
to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including that of the TSX Venture Exchange.
This press release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale in the United States or to "U.S. persons" ("
U.S. persons
"),
as such term is defined in Regulation S promulgated under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "
U.S.
Securities Act
"). The securities being offered have not been, nor will be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state
securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons absent registration or an applicable
exemption from such registration requirements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION
This press release contains certain "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" under applicable securities
laws concerning the business, operations and financial performance and condition of the Company. Forward-looking statements
and forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the timing and completion of the
Offering, the use of proceeds of the Offering and the availability of regulatory approvals for the Offering. Except for statements of
historical fact relating to the Company, certain information contained herein constitutes forward-looking statements. Forward-
looking statements are frequently characterized by words such as "plan," "expect," "project," "intend," "believe," "anticipate",
"estimate" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may" or "will" occur. Forward-looking
statements are based on the opinions and estimates of management at the date the statements are made and are based on a
number of assumptions and subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or
results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Many of these assumptions are based on
factors and events that are not within the control of the Company and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct.
Factors that could cause actual results to vary materially from results anticipated by such forward-looking statements include the
inability to obtain regulatory approvals required in relation to the Placement. The Company cautions that the foregoing list of
important factors is not exhaustive. Investors and others who rely on forward-looking statements should carefully consider the
above factors as well as the uncertainties they represent and the risk they entail. The Company believes that the expectations
reflected in those forward-looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove
to be correct and such forward-looking statements included in this press release should not be unduly relied upon. These
statements speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company undertakes no obligation to update forward-looking
statements if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change except as required by applicable securities
laws.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. Statements concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates may also be
deemed to constitute forward-looking statements to the extent they involve estimates of the mineralization that will be
encountered if the property is developed.
Statements about the Company's future expectations and all other statements in this press release other than historical facts are
"forward looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act, Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 and as that term defined in the Private Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company intends that such
forward-looking statements be subject to the safe harbours created thereby. Since these statements involve risks and
uncertainties and are subject to change at any time, the Company's actual results may differ materially from the expected results.
