TORONTO, March 17, 2021 /CNW/ - Canada Nickel Company Inc. (TSXV: CNC) (OTCQB: CNIKF) ("Canada Nickel" or the "Company") today announced that it is accelerating the expiry date of its common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants") issued on September 30, 2020 under the warrant indenture (the "Warrant Indenture") between TSX Trust Company (the "Warrant Agent") and the Company.

As of March 16, 2021, 1,822,750 of the original 2,675,000 Warrants issued remain outstanding to be exercised.
"The acceleration and exercise of these Warrants provides us additional runway to continue our drill program at our Crawford Nickel-Cobalt Sulphide Project, including our recently announced MacDiarmid nickel target once permits are received in early April, and progress the related feasibility study due for completion by the end of 2021," commented Mark Selby, Chair and CEO of Canada Nickel.
Accelerated Expiry Date
The Company is entitled under the Warrant Indenture to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants upon the occurrence of an Early Expiry Event (as defined in the Warrant Indenture). The Company has delivered to the Warrant Agent a notice of the occurrence of such Early Expiry Event and its election to accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants from September 30, 2022 to April 27, 2021 (the "Accelerated Expiry Date").
Any Warrants that have not been exercised by 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on the Accelerated Expiry Date will automatically expire and no longer be exercisable.
