VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2014) -
North American Nickel Inc.
(TSX-VENTURE:NAN)(OTCBB:WSCRF)(CUSIP:65704T 108) (the "Company") is
pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Patricia Tirschmann as
Principal Nickel Geologist effective May 12, 2014.
Patricia (Patti) Tirschmann is a Professional Geoscientist with
nearly 25 years of exploration experience specializing in magmatic
nickel-copper sulphide deposits. Most recently, Ms. Tirschmann
served for six years as Vice President, Exploration, for
Continental Nickel Limited and, prior to this, worked for over
eighteen years in various roles including Senior Geologist,
International Nickel Sulphide Exploration with Falconbridge Limited
(now Glencore Xstrata plc).
North American Nickel CEO, Rick Mark states: "Patti is well
known to our team, particularly to our Chief Geologist, John
Pattison, as they both worked at Falconbridge. We invited Patti to
participate in the three day technical meeting on Maniitsoq in
early April and were very impressed with her contributions. Patti
will work directly with COO, Neil Richardson, and is already
reviewing the data as it relates to drilling at the Imiak Hill
Conduit Complex and to the exploration of the regional targets. The
Maniitsoq project will benefit from Patti's familiarity with
several of the world's most important nickel camps and also from
her experience in taking the Ntaka Hill project from an early stage
single hole discovery through to the completion of multiple
resource estimates on newly discovered zones. We are very pleased
to have Patti join our search for nickel sulphide ore bodies at
Maniitsoq."
While at Continental Nickel, Ms. Tirschmann assembled and led
the exploration team which discovered and delineated a number of
new nickel sulphide zones and established several mineral resource
estimates at the Ntaka Hill project in Tanzania. During her career
with Falconbridge, Ms. Tirschmann was responsible for developing,
implementing and supervising exploration programs in the major
Canadian nickel belts of Sudbury, Thompson and Raglan and
participated in international nickel and copper projects in Norway,
Greenland, Alaska, Chile and Australia. She was also responsible
for the development and implementation of the company's use of
hyperspectral imaging for nickel exploration in the Canadian
Arctic. Ms. Tirschmann holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Geological
Sciences from the University of Manitoba and is a registered P. Geo
in the Province of Ontario.
