Why Own North American Nickel?
The Right Geology Maniitsoq’s geology is exemplary for hosting a district scale nickel camp:
Abundance of high-grade Ni-Cu±Co±PGE sulphide occurrences throughout a 75 x15 km belt
Sulphide mineralization has consistently high nickel tenor
Ni-Cu±Co±PGE occurrences are related to a large-scale, mafic-ultramafic magmatic event associated with major, long-lived structures
Mineralogical test work indicates potential for good Ni recovery using conventional techniques
The Right Technology: Application of new technology has lead to better detection and targeting
Modern, helicopter-borne, time domain electromagnetic (TEM) technology has proven successful at locating Ni-Cu±Co±PGE mineralization that previous fixed wing airborne surveys missed due to difficulties associated with rugged terrain.
Surface gravity has the potential to outline the sub-surface extents of prospective mafic-ultramafic intrusions
Modern surface EM surveys have enhanced depth penetration
Borehole EM is helping to target mineralization in the subsurface
5
Why Own North American Nickel?
The Right Place Greenland is a secure, first world political jurisdiction supported by pro-mining government
Greenland, outside of infrastructure and labor supply, is ranked top 10 in the Fraser Institute’s annual survey of mining jurisdictions around the world
In 2013 Greenland issued an exploitation license to London Mining for the >1 billion tonne IsuaIron deposit situated 50 km inland from the Maniitsoq project. Six mineral exploitation licenses issued during period 2003-2014.
Adjacent to tide water that is navigable year-round. Southwest Greenland is warmed by the Gulf Stream current
The Right People Highly experienced management and technical team with over 125 years of exploration and mining
experience and a track record of discovery
VMS Ventures Reed Lake Copper Mine, Manitoba
Board well versed in operation of public companies and financing; advisors with specialized experience in nickel and also operating in Greenland
NAN has strong strategic investors
The Sentient Group owns 41.2%

PROJECT OVERVIEW
District scale property covering 3,601 sq km in SW
Greenland. 100% Owned.
Property covers 75km x 15km Greenland Norite Belt
(GNB) hosting numerous mineralized intrusions
Three norite bodies (Imiak Hill, Mikissoq & Spotty Hill)
within a 2 km radius which comprise the Imiak Hill
Complex (IHC)

EXPLORATION HISTORY (GNB)
1959 – 1973: Kryolitselskabet Øresund (KØ)
Systematic prospecting from the air, shallow-looking surface
geophysics (< 50m) and shallow diamond drilling (average
hole length <55 m)
Surface nickel occurrences and nickel intersections in
drilling:
• Fossilik II: 12.89m @ 2.24% Ni & 0.63% Cu
• Imiak Hill: 9.85m @ 2.67% Ni & 0.60% Cu
• Quagssuk: 4.95m @ 1.97% Ni & 0.43% Cu
no airborne geophysics, modern ground EM surveys or
borehole EM
1995: GEUS
Commissioned Geoterrex to fly fixed wing GeoTEM survey
1995 – 1996: Cominco
ground follow-up of airborne EM picks
limited ground geophysics
1996 – 1998: Platinova and Monopros
Diamond exploration
1999 – 2000: Falconbridge Limited
Prospecting & re-analysis of historical
drill core to confirm high grade assays and
establish nickel tenors
Limited ground geophysics
No drilling by either Cominco or Falconbridge

New TechnologyHelicopter-borne TDEM
Borehole TDEM
Surface Gravity
The Past
Prospecting, fixed wing airborne EM and shallow surface geophysical surveys
Successful at locating outcropping mineralization but airborne EM surveys hampered by rugged terrain
Historical drilling was shallow and did not include borehole EM
The Present
Helicopter-borne EM surveys mantle the terrain and can detect conductors not seen by historical airborne EM surveys > 200 EM anomalies
Surface gravity surveys potentially outline mafic-ultramafic intrusions in the sub-surface
Borehole EM increases “search radius” of drill holes and helps target follow-up drilling
