9. Nickel Supply/Demand: In Our Favor
The Nickel market is likely to face large deficits in 2nd half of this decade – only a doubling of NPI output could
balance it (difficult given Indonesian ore constraints combined with Chinese cost pressures) Nickel prices, as in
2005‐2007, will likely have to rise to force demand in line with available supply.
China is going to need 1+ MILLION tonnes more nickel annually during this decade and ROW will
also need more.
Supply response will be structurally insufficient as current projects under construction only
provide half this requirement (at best, as many are struggling) and “project cupboard” is largely
empty ‐ underpinned by 35+ years of underdevelopment.
Limited interest in new HPAL projects, no new high grade (>2%) FeNi projects in 30 years.
Few sulphide projects discovered/developed.

2012 QEMSCAN Mineralogical Study
To identify and quantify nickel and copper-bearing minerals in
three high-grade samples from Imiak Hill and Spotty Hill and to
determine the liberation and association characteristics of nickel
and copper sulphides in the samples. The study was performed
by SGS Canada Inc.
HIGHLIGHTS:
Nickel
All three samples show high potential nickel
recovery. Mineralogically limiting grade-recovery
curves indicate maximum potential nickel grades of
35% at recoveries of 84 to 87%.
Pentlandite is the main nickel-bearing mineral and
contains 95.5 to 96.3% of all the nickel in the
samples. Silicate hosted nickel comprises less than
1% of all the nickel.
Pentlandite P80 grain sizes range from 53 to 65 μm.
Total potentially floatable pentlandite ranges from
96.3 to 97.6%.

Hot ultramafic magma flows to surface through a
“conduit system” comprised of restricted conduits
and larger magma chambers.
Hot magma assimilates country rock (locally sulphidic)
resulting in sulphur saturation and production of a
sulphide liquid.
Ni+Cu+Co±PGE sulphide collects in zones of lower
velocity within the conduit system.
Continual magma flow upgrades the nickel tenor of
sulphide already deposited.
Magmatism eventually ceases and conduit system is
preserved as noritic rock.

“To date, core analysis (2012 assay data) suggests an admixture of 100 percent iron sulphide
(pyrrhotite - pyrite) - nickel sulphide (pentlandite) could carry 6 to 8% nickel - this is a guessing
game, but 2012 data provides some substance to this qualitative view:”

Summary
NAN’s holds 100% exclusive rights to explore the Greenland norite Belt and significant nickel
occurrences in the area.
Three intrusions comprising the Imiak Hill Conduit Complex (IHCC) all with significant sulphide mineralization
and open at depth. The 3 conduits may converge into a single larger source deposit at depth!
Additional mineralization and target zones within 10 km of IHCC.
Very large, underexplored, new area with potential to host multiple deposits.
Sulphide nickel deposits are the high value source for the worlds nickel and are in decline as a source.
What’s Next
Spring 2014 commence deep penetrating ground geophysical surveys to develop deeper targets at the Imiak Hill
Conduit Complex.
Begin focused drilling to expand and define mineralized zones.
Test down plunge of near solid to solid sulphide and disseminated mineralization at Imiak North, Spotty
Hill, Imiak North and Fossilik zones
Drill test priority regional target zones across the belt along with additional helicopter geophysical surveys to
explore targets throughout the project area.
