Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018

(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)

1. NATURE AND CONTINUANCE OF OPERATIONS

North American Nickel Inc. (the “Company” or “NA Nickel”) was incorporated on September 23, 1983, under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The head office and principal address is located at 3400 — 100 King Street West, PO Box 130, Toronto, Ontario, M5X 1A4 and the records office of the Company is located at PO Box 63623 Capilano, North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V7P 3P1. The Company’s common shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”) under the symbol “NAN”.

The Company’s principal business activity is the exploration and development of mineral properties in Greenland, Canada and United States. The Company has not yet determined whether any of these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable. The recoverability of carrying amounts shown for exploration and evaluation assets is dependent upon a number of factors including environmental risk, legal and political risk, the existence of economically recoverable mineral reserves, confirmation of the Company’s interests in the underlying mineral claims, the ability of the Company to obtain necessary financing to complete exploration and development, and to attain sufficient net cash flow from future profitable production or disposition proceeds.

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the assumption that the Company will continue as a going concern, meaning it will continue in operation for the foreseeable future and will be able to realize assets and discharge liabilities in the ordinary course of operations. The ability of the Company to continue operations as a going concern is ultimately dependent upon achieving profitable operations. To date, the Company has not generated profitable operations from its resource activities and will need to invest additional funds in carrying out its planned exploration, development and operational activities. These uncertainties cast substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

The exploration and evaluation properties in which the Company currently has an interest are in the exploration stage. As such, the Company is dependent on external financing to fund its activities. In order to carry out the planned exploration and cover administrative costs, the Company will use its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. Although the Company has been successful in its past fundraising activities, there is no assurance as to the success of future fundraising efforts or as to the sufficiency of funds raised in the future. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire interests in additional properties if there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if adequate financial resources are available to do so.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements were approved and authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Company on May 17, 2018.

2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Statement of Compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), including IAS 34 Interim Financial Statements. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017. Any subsequent changes to IFRS that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 could result in restatement of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

(b) Basis of Preparation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the revaluation of any financial assets and financial liabilities where applicable. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies.

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018

(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements are consistent with those used in the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017.

(c) Basis of consolidation

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, North American Nickel (US) Inc. which was incorporated in the State of Delaware on May 22, 2015. Consolidation is required when the Company is exposed, or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. All intercompany transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated upon consolidation.

3. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

New standards adopted during the three months period ended March 31, 2018:

IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” (IFRS 9)

IFRS 9 addresses classification and measurement of financial assets. It replaces the multiple category and measurement models in IAS 39 for debt instruments with a new mixed measurement model having only two categories: amortized cost and fair value through profit and loss. IFRS 9 also replaces the models for measuring equity instruments. Such instruments are either recognized at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Where equity instruments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, dividends are recognized in the statement of earnings to the extent that they do not clearly represent a return of investment; however, other gains and losses (including impairments) associated with such instruments remain in accumulated comprehensive income indefinitely. Requirements for financial liabilities were added to IFRS 9 in October 2010 and they largely carried forward existing requirements in IAS 39 except that fair value changes due to credit risk for liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss are generally recorded in other comprehensive income. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not result in any impact to the Company’s financial statements.

IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 to replace IAS 18, Revenue, IAS 11, Construction Contracts, and related interpretations on revenue. IFRS 15 establishes principles to address the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. IFRS 15 also results in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provide guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improve guidance for multiple element arrangements. Companies can elect to use either a full or modified retrospective approach when adopting this standard and it is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not result in any impact to the Company’s financial statements.

Standards, Interpretations and Amendments Not Yet Effective:

IFRS 16 “Leases”

IFRS 16 replaces current guidance in IAS 17. Under IAS 17, lessees were required to make a distinction between a finance lease (on the balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). IFRS 16 now requires lessees to recognize a lease liability reflecting future lease payments and a “right-of-use asset” for virtually all lease contracts. The IASB has included an optional exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low value assets, however this exemption can only be applied by lessees. The standard applies to annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019, with earlier application permitted if IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, is also applied. The Company has not yet assessed the impact of this standard.

Maniitsoq

The Company has been granted certain exploration licenses, by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (“BMP”) of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights of an area comprising the Maniitsoq Property, located near Ininngui, Greenland. The Property is subject to a 2.5% NSR. The Company can reduce the NSR to 1% by paying $2,000 on or before 60 days from the decision to commence commercial production.

At the expiration of the first license period, the Company may apply for a second licence period (years 6-10), and the Company may apply for a further 3-year licence for years 11 to 13. Thereafter, the Company may apply for additional 3-year licences for years 14 to 16, 17 to 19 and 20 to 22. The Company will be required to pay additional license fees and will be obligated to incur minimum eligible exploration expenses for such years.

The Company may terminate the licenses at any time; however any unfulfilled obligations according to the licenses will remain in force, regardless of the termination

Future required minimum exploration expenditures will be adjusted each year on the basis of the change to the Danish Consumer Price Index.

The Company also granted the agent an overallotment option for a period of 30 days,

Notes to the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

For the three months ended March 31, 2018

(Unaudited - Expressed in thousands of Canadian dollars)

which expired unexercised.

Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to acquire one common share at an exercise price of $0.12 until August 15, 2019. The Company allocated a $519 fair value to the warrants issued from the private placement. Direct financing costs totalled $16 resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $3,058. The fair value of warrants was determined on a pro-rata basis using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model with the following assumptions; expected life of 2 years, expected dividend yield of 0%, a risk-free interest rate of 1.23% and an expected volatility of 98.64%.

b) Preferred shares issued and outstanding

iii) the shares are convertible at any time after 6 months from the date of issuance, upon the holder serving the Company with 10 days written notice; and

iv) the number of the common shares to be received on conversion of the preferred shares is to be determined by dividing the conversion value of the share, $1 per share, by $0.90.
