Independent Nickel Corp. Closes $13 Million Financing

Sudbury, Ontario – May 8, 2007 – Independent Nickel Corp. (TSX-V: INI) (the “Company”) has closed the $13 million non-brokered financing previously announced on April 17th, 2007.

The financing consisted of 11,764,706 common share units (“Units”) at $0.85 per unit, for gross Unit proceeds of $10,000,000 and 3,000,000 flow through common shares (“Flow Through Shares”) at $1.00 per share, for gross Flow Through proceeds of $3,000,000. Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one half common share purchase warrant of the Company. The combination of two half warrants entitles the holder, for a period of eighteen months following the closing of the financing, to acquire one common share of the Company for $1.00.

The Company paid finder’s fees of $710,455 and issued 1,398,149 finder’s warrants in respect of the financing. Each finder’s warrant entitles the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a purchase price of $0.90 for a period of 24 months from closing.

Shares issued pursuant to this private placement, including any shares issued as a result of the exercise of finder’s warrants, will be subject to a four month hold period expiring September 8, 2007.

A portion of the proceeds from the Unit private placement will be used to fund the previously announced acquisition of the royalty of up to 3% on Victory Nickel Inc.’s Minago Nickel property, located in northern Manitoba. The balance of the Unit net proceeds will be used to fund pre-feasibility and permitting of the Company’s Lynn Lake property and for general working capital purposes. Proceeds from the Flow Through private placement will be used to fund exploration at the Company’s Lynn Lake project located in Manitoba.

The private placement is subject to final acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.
