PACIFIC COAST NICKEL CORP ACQUIRES FURTHER LAND POSITION NEAR BIG NIC, ADDS WELL-KNOWN TECHNICAL ADVISOR

Vancouver, BC, December 12, 2007- Pacific Coast Nickel Corp. (TSX-V: NKL) is pleased to announce that it has agreed to acquire a 100% interest in the Devil's Lake Nickel property. The Company also welcomes Dr. Robert Brozdowski as a Special Consultant.

The Devil's Lake Nickel property is southeast along trend from Pacific Coast Nickel's existing Big Nic project located near Hope, BC and covers 525 hectares. Historical reports indicate nickel-copper sulphide mineralization was exposed on the property over a width of fourteen feet during railway construction. Pacific Coast Nickel plans to complete a first phase of work on the property immediately, as less snow falls at its lower elevation compared to Big Nic.

Dr. Brozdowski brings over 25 years of experience and specializes in mining exploration in covered terranes, focused on nickel, platinum metals and uranium exploration. He has extensive international experience and contributed to successful programs with Western Mining Corporation (7 years), Callahan Mining Company (8 years) and Exxon Minerals (2 years). He obtained a PhD-Geology from the University of Western Ontario, his MSc degree in Geology from Temple University and a BSc degree in Geoscience from Temple University. Dr. Brozdowski is a Fellow of the Geological Association of Canada, a member of Society for Mining, Metallurgy, and Engineering, a Fellow of the Society of Economic Geologists, and member of the PDAC.

The terms of the Devil's Lake Nickel option agreement include staged payments over 3 years totaling $10,000 and the issuance of 80,000 shares of Pacific Coast Nickel. Michael Sweatman, President of the Company, noted "the acquisition cost for this prospective property is modest, with the added benefit of allowing Pacific Coast Nickel to continue exploration in the region over the winter months."

Pacific Coast Nickel controls approximately 11,000 hectares of land adjacent to or near the former Giant Mascot nickel mine. Target deposit types include both massive sulphide, Giant Mascot-style as well as bulk tonnage which is basal and margin style. The basal and margin style has not been extensively explored for previously. Pacific Coast Nickel has traced mineralized mafic lithologies along a 1.2 kilometre strike length on the northernwestern portion of the Big Nic property and these lithologies have the potential to host basal and margin style mineralization.
