Description of Business

The Company is a mineral exploration and resource development company engaged in the business of acquiring, exploring and evaluating mineral properties, and either joint venturing, developing or disposing of the properties, when the evaluation is complete. The Company is currently focusing its resources in conducting exploration programs on its Maniitsoq Property, in Greenland and Sudbury, Ontario nickel properties being Post Creek and Halcyon.

Company History

North American Nickel Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada, by filing of Memorandum and Articles of Association on September 20, 1983, under the name Rainbow Resources Ltd. The company’s name was changed to Widescope Resources Ltd. on May 1, 1984, and to Gemini Technology Inc. on September 17, 1985. In conjunction with a reverse split of its common shares on a five-old for one-new basis, the Company adopted the name International Gemini Technology Inc effective September 23, 1993. The Company’s name was changed to Widescope Resources Inc., effective July 12, 2006. Effective April 19, 2010 the Company’s shareholders approved a special resolution to reorganize the Company’s capital structure by consolidating in a reverse stock split the existing common shares on the basis of each two (2) old shares being equal to one (1) new share and concurrently increasing the authorized capital of the Company from 100,000,000 common shares without par value to an unlimited number of common shares without par value. Also effective this date the Company’s name was changed to North American Nickel Inc. to reflect its new focus. All references to common shares, stock options, warrants and weighted average number of shares outstanding in this discussion and the accompanying consolidated financial statements retroactively reflect the share consolidation unless otherwise noted.

In April 2010 the Company initiated a series of actions to realign its focus into the field of nickel exploration in the prolific nickel belts around Sudbury, Ontario and Thompson, Manitoba. Concurrently the directors of the Company appointed new senior management to oversee the daily operations of the Company.

On May 3, 2011 the Company’s listing application was conditionally accepted by the TSX-V Venture Exchange. On May 30, 2011 the common shares of the Company began trading under the symbol “NAN”.

On August 15, 2011 the Company was granted an exploration license by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights over an area totalling 4,841 square kilometres located near Sulussugut, Greenland.

On March 4, 2012, the Company was granted an additional exploration license by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights over an area covering a total of 142 square kilometres license and located near Ininngui, Greenland.

On January 19, 2015 the Company signed an exclusivity agreement with Minelco AS to acquire the deepwater Seqi port. Minelco AS granted to the Company the right to proceed with a due diligence process on the Port and to negotiate exclusively with Minelco in relation to this transaction according to the terms set out in the agreement. During the exclusivity period Minelco provided the Company with access to its facilities, personnel, books, records and documents to allow the Company to conduct the due diligence process for the purpose of evaluating the transaction and use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide all documents and information requested by the Company. On March 31, 2015, Minelco AS and the Company signed an assignment agreement for the Seqi Port. Under the terms of the agreement Minelco assigned and transferred to the Company all its right title and interest in and to the Port. The assignment was made free of charge with no consideration payable by the Company to Minelco. To date, the Company has completed a surface due diligence examination of the Seqi pier and is currently undertaking due diligence of the underwater portion of the pier. Environmental due diligence was completed by Golder Associates – INUPLAN in and around the Seqi Port and a report in in preparation.

Trend Analysis

The business of the Company entails significant risks. Any analysis of the trend of the Company’s activities would reveal this and there is nothing to suggest that these trends will change.

The recoverability of amounts shown for mineral property costs 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. As of September 30, 2015 the Company had working capital of $4,823,919 (December 31, 2014 $6,106,599) and a deficit of $23,480,662 (December 31, 2014 $21,715,130). The Company has sufficient capital to continue its planed operations and to meet its obligations.

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to manage its capital.

The 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 pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. 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 it has adequate financial resources are available to do so. The Company has not yet determined whether these properties contain ore reserves that are economically recoverable.

Resource Properties

All technical information in this document has been reviewed by Patricia Tirschmann, P. Geo, the qualified person for the Company under National Instrument 43-101.

Maniitsoq, Greenland:

The project is located adjacent to the coastline 80 km north of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland (a safe, stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction) and covers numerous high-grade nickel-copper & PGM sulphide occurrences associated with norite and other mafic-ultramafic intrusions. The deep water coastline adjacent to Maniitsoq is typical to that of Greenland’s south west coast is pack ice free with a year-round shipping season. The optimum shipping conditions are due to the Irminger current, a tributary of the warming Gulf Stream flowing continuously past the south west coastline of Greenland. The Company acquired the project because it believes that modern, time-domain, helicopter EM systems will be more effective at detecting nickel sulphide deposits in the rugged terrain of Maniitsoq than previous geophysical surveys performed in the 1990’s that failed to produce any drill targets. Helicopter TEM systems were not available in 1990’s and their availability now gives the Company a significant advantage over previous explorers.

Effective August 15, 2011, the Company was granted an exploration license (the “Sulussugut License”) by the Bureau of Minerals and Petroleum (“BMP”), now called Mineral License and Safety Authority (MLSA), of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights over an area totalling 4,841 square kilometres located near Sulussugut, Greenland. The Company paid a license fee of Danish kroners (“DKK”) 31,400 upon granting of the Sulussugut License. The Sulussugut License is valid for 5 years until December 31, 2015, with December 31, 2011 being the first year providing the Company meets the terms of the license including specified eligible exploration expenditures. The chart below shows the eligible exploration expenditures and the granted credits for the excess which may be used towards future expense requirements. The surplus per year cannot be carried forward for credit more than three years.

Under the terms of the Sulussugut License, the Company was obligated to reduce the area of the license by at least 30% (1,452 square kilometres) by December 31, 2013. The Company completed this prior to year-end 2013.

In 2014 the Company reduced license 2011/54 from 3336 square kilometres to 2689 square kilometres with an exploration commitment of DKK 21,368,070. The Company has had approved expenditures from The Mineral Licence and Safety Authority (MLSA) for 2014 of DKK 55,509,353 which is made up of exploration expenditures of DKK 37,006,242 and a general supplement of DKK 18,503,121. With a credit from 2013 of DKK 28,680,741 and commitment of DKK 21,368,070 leaves the Company with excess credits of DKK 62,822,024

The required minimum exploration expenditures on the Sulussugut License for year 5, ending December 31, 2015 is based on an annual approximation of DKK 21,668,160. This assumes that the Sulussugut License area will not be reduced in 2015.

Effective March 4, 2012, the Company was granted an additional exploration license (the “Ininngui License”) by the BMP of Greenland for exclusive exploration rights over an area covering a total of 142 square kilometres license and located near Ininngui, Greenland. The Company paid a license fee of DKK 32,200 upon granting of the Ininngui License. The Ininngui License is valid for 5 years until December 31, 2016, with December 31, 2012 being the first year. The Ininngui License is contiguous with the Sulussugut License.

On September 28, 2013 the Ininngui license was enlarged to 265 square kilometres at the Company’s request.

In June 2015, the Ininngui license was enlarged to 296 square kilometres at the Company’s request.

For both licenses, future required minimum eligible exploration expenses will be adjusted each year on the basis of the change to the Danish Consumer Price Index.

Should the Company not incur the minimum eligible exploration expenses on either license in any one year from years 2-5, the Company may pay 50% of the difference in cash to MLSA as full compensation for that year. This procedure may not be used for more than 2 consecutive calendar years and to December 31, 2013; the Company has not used the procedure for either license.

After year 5, the Company may apply for an additional 5 years for either license. Thereafter, the Company may apply for a license for up to 12additional years, in 3year license increments. 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 license will remain in force, regardless of the termination.

In conjunction with the granting of the Sulussugut Licence, the Company has entered into an arm’s length Intellectual Property and Data Acquisition Agreement (the “IP Acquisition Agreement”) with Hunter Minerals Pty Limited (“Hunter”) and Spar Resources Pty Limited (“Spar”). Pursuant to the IP Acquisition Agreement, Hunter and Spar agreed to sell the IP Rights to the Company in consideration for the Company paying $300,000 in cash ($150,000 to each of Hunter and Spar which is paid) and the issuing of 12,960,000 share purchase warrants, 6,480,000 to each of Hunter and Spar exercisable for a period of five years. The warrants are exercisable at the following prices, 4,750,000 of the warrants are at a price of $0.50 per share, 4,750,000 of the warrants are at a price of $0.70 per share and 3,460,000 of the warrants are at a price of $1.00 per share. The warrants are subject to an accelerated exercise provision in the event the Company relinquishes its interests in the Maniitsoq Licenses or any other mineral titles held within a defined area of interest without receiving consideration for such relinquishment. The granted warrants have been recorded at a fair value of $1,813,263 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Granting to each of Hunter and Spar or their designates a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty, subject to rights of NAN to reduce both royalties to a 0.5% net smelter returns royalty upon payment to each of Hunter and Spar (or their designates) of $1,000,000 on or before the 60th day following a decision to commence commercial production on the mineral properties. On August 30, 2011 the Company issued 200,000 common shares at $0.14 per share for a value of $28,000 as a finder’s fee on the Greenland project.

Performance Summary:

2011
During 2011, the Company initiated its exploration program at Maniitsoq with a compilation of historic databases resulting in the examination of historic mineralized occurrences and the collection of 54 rock samples with subsequent analysis by Activation Laboratories. Assay results of up to 3.35% nickel were obtained thereby confirming previous sampling results by Kyrolitselskabet •resund A/S (1965-71, Cominco Ltd. (1995-96) and Falconbridge Greenland A/S (1993-2000). Drill cores from several Kyrolitselskabet Oresund A/S drill holes were examined at a government core facility in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.

Subsequently, two areas covering a total of 375 square kilometres, were selected for helicopter geophysical (electromagnetic and magnetic) surveys. SkyTEM ApS of Beder, Denmark completed the work on October 5, 2011 flying 2,217 line-kilometers. Condor Consulting selected electromagnetic 25 conductive zones were identified.

A second mineral exploration license of approximately 142 square kilometres contiguous with its original license (2011/54) was acquired.

2012
Exploration in 2012 continued with the geophysical interpretation of data acquired in 2011. Three dimensional Maxwell models were established by Condor Consulting for the 25 anomalies defined by the 2011 airborne surveys and three of these were selected for priority follow-up ahead of the first drill program on the property. Heliborne geophysical surveys by Geotech Ltd. totaling 3,532 line-kilometers over portions of mineral exploration licences 2011/54 and 2012/28 were continued in 2012, was flown. Preliminary interpretation of the data was completed August 13, 2012.

In August a field camp was established at the property to facilitate ground checking of geophysical anomalies identified from the SkyTEM and VTEM surveys.A total of 40 rock sampleswere submitted for geochemical/assay analysis. A diamond drill program was commenced September 23 and nine holes totaling 1,551 meters were drilled to test selected electromagnetic anomalies in the Imiak Hill area, the Spotty Hill area, Fossilik and P-59. A total of 636 core samples (including standards and blanks) were submitted to Activation Laboratories for geochemical/assay analysis.

The intersection of high grade nickel – copper mineralization at Imiak Hill was announced in November. The mineralization intersected by DDH MQ-12-001 averaged 1.36% nickel, 0.52% copper and 0.07% cobalt over 16.41 meters including 5.12 meters at 2.20% nickel, 0.55% copper and 0.07% cobalt. The mineralization in MQ-12-002 averaged 0.55% nickel, 0.20% copper and 0.02% cobalt over 66.08 meters and included 14.18 meters at 1.33% nickel, 0.38% copper and 0.04% cobalt. A new discovery of shallow nickel-copper-PGE mineralization was announced in December and included 123.94 meters grading: 0.81% nickel, 0.21% copper, 0.03% cobalt and 0.26 g/t platinum + palladium + gold.

2013
Assay and geochemical analyses on samples from the 2012 drilling program were completed in January and confirmed significant nickel + copper ± cobalt ±PGE mineralization at Imiak Hill and Spotty Hill. The 2013 Maniitsoq exploration plan consisting of 3,000 meters of diamond drilling, surface EM surveys and 550 line-km of heliborne geophysical surveys was finalized in May 2013.

Results from a QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Materials by Scanning Electron Microscopy) study for three samples of mineralized drill core at Imiak Hill and Spotty Hill were announced in June. Results indicated that nickel was hosted primarily in pentlandite and that potential existed for good recovery of nickel and copper.

Field work at Maniitsoq was completed on September 16, 2013 and included 25 diamond drill holes totaling 4,266 metres, 917.3 line-kilometres of helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic and magnetic surveys and field checking of all targets identified from 2012 field work. All but one of the diamond drill holes were surveyed by Crone Geophysics with a three-component bore hole electromagnetic (BHEM) probe.

The Company announced in August 2013 and again in September 2013 the intersection of massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization at Imiak Hill. Hole MQ-13-026 intersected this mineralization between 142 and 159 m vertically below surface and subsequently hole MQ-13-028 extended the mineralization to 185 m below surface, the deepest intercept at Imiak Hill to date.

Significant mineralization at Imiak North, 950 metres north northeast of Imiak Hill and 1200 metres northwest of Spotty Hill was announced in September. These three closely spaced mineralized zones are referred to as the Imiak Hill Complex (IHC). Later the same month a new discovery within the Fossilik norite intrusion situated approximately 9 kilometres from the IHC was announced. DDH MQ-13-018 intersected 4.53m @1.06% nickel, 0.23% copper, 0.04% cobalt, 0.33 g/t platinum+palladium+gold at 51.8 metres down the hole. This zone remains open at depth and additional drilling is warranted.

Assay results were received in October 2013 from mineralization intersected in DDH MQ-13-026 at Imiak Hill and averaged 3.25% nickel, 0.48% copper and 0.11% cobalt over a core length of 25.51 metres including 18.62 metres at 4.31% nickel, 0.62% copper and 0.14% cobalt.

The discovery of an additional 100 new electromagnetic exploration targets identified at Maniitsoq from the 2013 helicopter-borne geophysical surveys was announced in December 2013.

2014
The commencement of surface time-domain electromagnetics and gravity surveys was announced in April 2014 and subsequently Crone Geophysics completed gravity surveys at 655 stations and completing 67 km of surface Time Domain EM surveys at the IHC. Diamond drilling was commenced with one drill at the IHC and a second drill was used to test regional mineralized targets. In July 2014, new TDEM anomalies were identified at the IHC and Fossilik areas by the Crone surveys and gravity surveys were found to be potentially effective in outlining noritic intrusions in the subsurface. Structural geology mapping was initiated at the IHC and Fossilik in August 2014. An intercept of 11.03 metres of 3.07% nickel at Imiak hill was also announced along with the intersection of near-massive sulphide at Spotty Hill and target P-13.

An exploration update for the 2014 field season was provided by the Company in September 2014. Thirty – nine drill holes and one deepened hole were completed totalling 8,773 metres. Detailed structural mapping by Dr. John Fedorowich contributed significantly to the geological understanding of the structurally complex area at IHC. Later in September new regional discoveries were announced at targets P-058, P-149, P-004, P-013, P-030 and P-053. Highlights include DDH MQ-14-054 intersected 1.72% nickel and 0.26% copper over 5.58 metres, DDH MQ-14-041 intersected 0.36% nickel, 0.17% copper and 0.15 g/t platinum+palladium+gold over 23.2 metres and DDH MQ-14-051 intersected 0.94% nickel, 0.17% copper and 0.99 g/t platinum+palladium+gold over 4.31 metres.

Additional assay results were received in October including 2.98% nickel, 0.59% copper and 0.86 g/t platinum+palladium+gold over 8.55 metres and 1.69% Ni, 0.34% Cu and 0.50 g/t TPM over 10.60 metres at Spotty Hill.

Additional drilling and assay results at target P-13 were announced in November. Multiple nickel sulphide intersections at target P-013 included 5.85 metres of 2.07% nickel and 0.12% copper in DDH MQ-14-066 and 3.40 metres of 2.07% nickel and 0.34% copper in DDH MQ-14-068. Mineralization was described as net textured to semi-massive sulphide. More new nickel sulphide discoveries were announced in November 2014 including those from the southern portion of the Maniitsoq project and the IHC. Highlights from southern Maniitsoq included 20.10 metres of 0.63% nickel and 0.20% copper in DDHMQ-14-070 at target P-030 and 0.24 metres of 0.85% nickel and 1.80% copper in hole MQ-14-071 at target P-053. At Imiak Hill, DDH MQ-14-072 intersected 16.35 metres of 2.51% nickel and 0.77% copper and confirmed the continuity of mineralization in Zone 10 between holes historical hole IM-9 and MQ-14-037. At Imiak North, DDH MQ-14-073 intersected 61.35 metres of 0.63% nickel and 0.18% copper confirming the steep north easterly plunge of this mineralization.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

On March 2, 2015 the Company announced potential high nickel recoveries utilizing SGS Canada Inc. QEMSCAN (Quantitative Evaluation of Minerals by Scanning Electron Microscopy) on its regional targets. Pentlandite was found to be the main nickel-bearing mineral in each sample with nickel contents ranging from 90.1 to 93.1%. Potential recoveries ranged from 96.1 to 97.2% based on liberation, association and exposed characteristics of crushed samples that were stage pulverized to 90% passing 150 µm.

On March 26, 2015 the Company announced drilling and field services contracts were awarded to George Downing Estate Drilling Ltd. and Xploration Services Greenland (ApS) respectively for its 2015 exploration program at Maniitsoq.

On June 29, 2015 the Company announced an update on it Maniitsoq project highlighting approximately 6000 metres planned for diamond drilling, acquisition of additional 6500 line kilometers of VTEM airborne EM data over favourable geological terrane and additional prospecting and mapping of target zones and a direct structural mapping project carried out by SRK Consulting Canada Inc.

On August 5, 2015 the Company announced approximately 60 additional targets identified from the new VTEM airborne EM survey in 2015.

On September 2, 2015 the Company announced several new nickel sulphide intersections including:

    MQ-15-075: 1.06% nickel, 0.24% copper and 0.31 g/t platinum+palladium+gold over 15.55 metres including 1.77% nickel, 0.23% copper and 0.46 g/t platinum+palladium+gold over 6.0 metres at Spotty Hill. These results extended the mineralization by 80m in down plunge direction.

Additional analytical results from the drilling program will be announced as they are received and upon passing quality assurance and quality control procedures. The Company is completing petrographic work and QEMSCAM analysis on selected drill core and surface samples.

Sudbury, Ontario nickel properties:

Post Creek Property

On December 23, 2009, the Company executed a letter of intent whereby the Company has an option to acquire the mineral claim known as the Post Creek Property located within the Sudbury Mining District of Ontario. The Company paid a non-refundable deposit of $7,500. On April 5, 2010 the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire rights to Post Creek Property. On March 12, 2013 the Post Creek Property Option Agreement was amended, in order to acquire 100% working interests in the property, subject to certain net smelter return royalties (“NSR”) and advance royalty payments the Company agreed to the following amended consideration, which has been met, cash payments totalling $137,500 and the issuance of 1,000,000 common shares. The Company has exercised its option on Post Creek and as of August 1, 2015 the Company is obligated to pay advances on the NSR of $10,000 per annum, which will be deducted from any payments to be made under the NSR.

The property is located 35 km east of Sudbury in Norman and Parkin townships and consists of 40 unpatented mining claims covering an area of 928 hectares. It is strategically located adjacent to the past-producing Podolsky copper-nickel-platinum group metal deposit of KGHM. The property lies along the extension of the Whistle Offset Dyke Structure which hosted the former INCO Whistle Offset copper-nickel-PGM Mine as well as the Podolsky North and Podolsky 2000 copper-precious metal deposits. Production at Podolsky was forecast to be 372,049 tons of ore yielding 1.8 million pounds of payable nickel, 28.5 million pounds of payable copper and 27,300 ounces of payable platinum, palladium and gold for 2009. Previous operators located the extension of the Whistle Offset Dyke structure on the Post Creek property as a direct result of their geological, geophysical and Mobile Metal Ion geochemical surveys. A reconnaissance rock sample collected along the structure assayed 0.83% Ni, 0.74% Cu, 0.07% Co, 2.24 g/t Pt and 1.05 g/t Pd. Significant potential for nickel-copper-PGM is demonstrated on the Post Creek property.

Performance Summary:

The exploration program to evaluate the mineral potential of the Whistle Offset Dyke Structure was initiated September 24, 2010. This project included outcrop stripping, washing and detailed mapping. The geophysical approach to exploration on the property included compilation of historic airborne VTEM surveys, ground IP and magnetic surveys and new surveys including beep mat, VLF-EM, Abitibi Geophysics EM and magnetics. Mineralization exposed by outcrop stripping and washing was chip sampled for multi-element geochemical analysis including assay for nickel, copper, cobalt, gold, platinum and palladium. Selected Mobile Metal Ion Technology geochemical soil geochemical surveys were undertaken over historic IP chargeability anomalies.

Dr. Walter Peredery prepared a 43-101 technical report as part of listing requirements for North American Nickel. The report was accepted by the Exchange on May 27, 2011.

On October 18, 2011 new electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies detected from Abitibi Geophysics EM surveys. Anomalies were assessed with a seven hole, 1532.5 metre diamond drill program on December 14, 2011. All holes were surveyed utilizing borehole electromagnetic technology.

Prospecting expanded the offset dyke material or CJ Zone. Abitibi Infinitem geophysical anomalies were tested by seven diamond drill holes totally 1,532.5 metres and documented heavily disseminated to near-solid pyrrhotite, pyrite and minor chalcopyrite hosted within large blocks of Archean mafic volcanic rocks present within the offset dyke. AGAT Laboratory assay results indicate low base and precious metal values. The mineralization is interpreted to be Archean age.

A review of all characteristics of the Whistle Offset target and the results of diamond drilling indicate the CJ Zone is more accurately described as a breccia zone rather than a sharp-walled offset dyke. The breccia zone is along strike from the past-producing Podolsky nickel-copper-platinum group metal mine and is still considered as a high-priority exploration target. The breccia zone is now interpreted as an embayment structure based on a petrographic study of drill core samples from 2011. The base of this new embayment has not been intersected by drilling, and consequently, the most prospective section of the observed embayment has not been reached. The mapped embayment is open to the east, south and north.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

The Company on March 27, 2015 made the $15,000 payment as per the Property Option Agreements.

On August 1, 2015 the Company made a $5,000 advance royalty payment as per the Property Option Agreements.

Subsequent Events

There were no subsequent events following the end of the reporting period.

Activities contemplated in the future

The company will re-log historical drill core and collect geochemical samples in the coming months.

Halcyon Property

On April 5, 2010, the Company entered into an option agreement to acquire rights to Halcyon Property. On March 12, 2013 the Halcyon Property Option Agreement was amended. In order to acquire up to a 100% working interests in the property, subject to certain net smelter return royalties (“NSR”) and advance royalty payments the Company agreed to the following amended consideration, which has been met, cash payments totalling $120,000 and the issuance of 700,000 common shares. Further, commencing the amended date of August 1, 2015, if the Company exercises its option, the Company will be obligated to pay advances on the NSR of $8,000 per annum, which will be deducted from any payments to be made under the NSR.

The property is located 35 Km NNE of Sudbury in the SE corner of Parkin Twp, and consists of 53 unpatented mining claims for a total of 864 hectares. It is readily accessible by paved and all-weather gravel road. Halcyon is adjacent to the Post Creek property and contains the extension of the metallogenetically significant Whistle Offset Structure now interpreted to represent an embayment. It is approximately 2 km north of the producing Podolsky Mine of FNX Mining. Previous operators on the property defined numerous conductive zones based on induced polarization (I.P.) surveys with coincident anomalous Mobile Metal Ions soil geochemistry. Base and precious metal mineralization have been found in multiple locations on the property but follow-up work was never done. The former producing Jon Smith Mine (nickel-copper-cobalt-platinum) is situated 1 Km North of the property.

Performance Summary:

Data compilation was initiated with the aim of delineating potential areas for follow-up exploration. Based on newly acquired information from the Post Creek property the adjacent Halcyon property will be the target of geological prospecting and geophysical surveys.

On September 14, 2011 a partial cut grid was established on the western edge of the Halcyon property to accommodate the Abitibi Geophysics EM survey covering the adjacent Post Creek property.

On December 14, 2011, prospecting and a small amount of outcrop stripping were completed in preparation for a drill program. A single hole was drilled on the southeast corner of the property with the purpose of providing geological information and to provide a platform for bore hole pulse EM (“BHPEM”). No anomalies were detected with the BHPEM although quartz diorite breccia and partial melt material with 2-3% disseminated pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite was intersected over short core lengths.

The Halcyon Property Option Agreement was amended March 12, 2013 by modifying the property expenditure and property payment requirements in order for the Optionee to earn a 100% interest in the claims.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

The Company on March 27, 2015 made the $15,000 payment as per the Property Option Agreements.

On August 1, 2015 the Company made a $4,000 advance royalty payment as per the Property Option Agreements.

Subsequent Events

There were no subsequent events following the end of the reporting period.

Activities contemplated in the future

The Company is reviewing historical exploration data to aid in planning a prospecting, geological mapping and trenching program for spring of 2016.

Results of Operations

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015 compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,849,482 compared to a net loss of $3,155,327 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease of $1,305,845 in net loss is mainly the result of a share-based payment variance. At the end of September 30, 2015 a share-based payment amount of $319,015 was recorded for the grant of stock options and the vesting of options versus $1,996,792 recorded in September 2014 for the granting of stock options. The general operating costs increased by $536,147 which is mainly the result of the changes made to management and the additional board members done in Q4 of 2014. This resulted in an increase of $110,045 in management fees, an increase of $74,110 in travel and accommodation for increased management and technical meetings held for the Company, an increase of $103,326 in consulting fees as a result of engaging a humane resource consultant. The Company brought in an employee benefits program showing an increase of $42,834 in salaries and benefits. There was an increase of $58,874 in General and administrative costs as a result of higher rent on the new office and additional office setup. Investor relations reported a decrease of $114,411 as a result of less trade shows attended in the period. There has been a decrease of $31,253 for interest earned and there was a decrease in foreign exchange loss of $201,750 as a result of the Greenland drill program starting later than the previous year.

As at September 30, 2015 share capital increased since December 31, 2014 due to the Company closing a private placement of 29,054,079 units for net proceeds of $6,216,941, having 1,149,000 stock options exercised for net proceeds of $172,350 and having 7,461,748 warrants exercised for net proceeds of $1,566,967. As at September 30, 2015 total assets increased by $6,421,622 since December 31, 2014 as a result of capital expenditure purchases of $137,662 mainly computer software and spending $7,566,693 on the exploration properties and raising funds through a private placement. As at December 31, 2014, the Company had total assets of $27,050,038, an increase of $8,334,119 since December 31, 2013 which reported total assets of $18,715,919. The increase is a result of the Company raising funds through a private placement of $9,379,970 and using the funds on the drill program in Greenland.

Liquidity

As at September 30, 2015 the Company had accumulated losses totaling $23,480,662. The Company had working capital of $4,823,919 at September 30, 2015. The continuation of the Company is dependent upon the continued financial support of shareholders, its ability to raise capital through the issuance of its securities, as well as obtaining long-term financing when the company concludes an appropriate merger or acquisition agreement. On February 20, 2015, the Company issued 2,941,176 common shares upon conversion of 2,941,176 warrants at a price of $0.21 for proceeds of $617,646. During the current period the Company closed a private placement raising $6,216,941 net proceeds and had 1,099,000 stock options exercised for net proceeds of $109,900.

The Company has financed its operations to date primarily through the issuance of common shares and exercise of stock options and warrants. The Company continues to seek capital through various means including the issuance of equity and/or debt and the securing of joint venture partners where appropriate.

Capital Management

When managing capital, the Company’s objective is to ensure the entity continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to shareholders and benefits for other stakeholders. Management adjusts the capital structure as necessary in order to support the acquisition and exploration of mineral properties. The Board of Directors does not establish quantitative return on capital criteria for management, but rather relies on the expertise of the Company’s management team to manage its capital.

The 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 pay for administrative costs, the Company will spend its existing working capital and raise additional amounts as needed. The Company will continue to assess new properties and seek to acquire an interest in additional properties if it feels there is sufficient geologic or economic potential and if it has adequate financial resources to do so.

Management considers its approach to capital management to be appropriate given the relative size of the Company. There were no changes in the Company’s approach to capital management during the period.

Financial Instruments and Other Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables and trade payables and accrued liabilities. Cash and cash equivalents are designated as held for trading and therefore carried at fair value, with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in income. Receivables are designated as loan receivables and trade payables, are designated as other financial liabilities and recorded at amortized cost. Marketable securities are available for sale with the unrealized gain or loss recorded in other comprehensive income.

The fair value hierarchy establishes three levels to classify inputs to the valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted market prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value and are classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of accounts receivables and trade payables approximate carrying value because of the short term nature of these instruments.

The fair value of available for sale investments are determined based on a market approach reflecting the closing price of each particular security at the closing balance sheet date. The closing price is a quoted market price obtained from the exchange that is the principal active market for the particular security, and therefore available for sale securities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

Financial Instrument Risk Factors

Risk management is carried out by the Company’s management team with guidance from the Board of Directors. The Company’s risk exposures and their impact on the Company’s financial instruments are summarized below:

Credit Risk
The Company’s credit risk is primarily attributable to cash, short-term investments and amounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents, and short-term investments are held with one reputable Canadian chartered bank which is closely monitored by management. Financial instruments included in amounts receivable consist primarily of HST/GST recoverable from the Canadian government. Management believes that the credit risk concentration with respect to financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and amounts receivable is minimal.

Liquidity Risk
The Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet liabilities when due. As at September 30, 2015, the Company held cash and a short-term investment totaling $4,831,365 (December 31, 2014 — $6,326,117) and had current liabilities of $350,625 (December 31, 2014 — $297,344). All of the Company’s liabilities have contractual maturities of less than 30 days and are subject to normal trade terms.

Market Risk

i) Interest Rate Risk

The Company had cash balances and no interest bearing debt. The Company’s current policy is to invest excess cash in investment-grade short-term deposit certificates issued by its banking institutions. The Company periodically monitors the investments it makes and is satisfied with the creditworthiness of its banks. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had non-interest bearing accounts with one Canadian chartered bank.

ii) Foreign Currency Risk

The Company is exposed to the financial risk related to fluctuations of foreign exchange rates. The Company operates in Canada and Greenland and a portion of exploration and evaluation assets are incurred in US dollars, Euros and Danish Krones (“DKK”). Foreign currency risk is considered low as the majority of transactions are settled and reported in Canadian dollars.

iii) Price Risk

The Company is exposed to price risk with respect to commodity prices. Commodity price risk is defined as the potential adverse impact on earnings and economic value due to commodity price movements and volatilities. To mitigate price risk, the Company closely monitors commodity prices of precious metals and the stock market to determine the appropriate course of action to be taken by the Company.

Accounting Standards Not Yet Effective

Other accounting standards or amendments to existing accounting standards that have been issued but have future effective dates are either not applicable or are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

New standard IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”
This new standard is a partial replacement of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement”. IFRS 9 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets, additional changes relating to financial liabilities, a new general hedge accounting standard which will align hedge accounting more closely with risk management. The new standard also requires a single impairment method to be used, replacing the multiple impairment methods in IAS 39. IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted.
