Gungnir To Focus on High-Grade Nickel in 2022

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 1, 2022 / Gungnir Resources Inc. (TSXV:GUG)(OTC PINK:ASWRF) ("Gungnir" or the "Company") is pleased to provide exploration highlights from 2021 and outline plans in Sweden with nickel as a key driver in 2022.

Jari Paakki, CEO, commented: "Our plan for 2022 is to build upon Gungnir's 2021 high-grade nickel results which were some of the top, near-surface nickel drill intercepts reported in the junior-sector last year. We are planning to allocate more than three-quarters of our available exploration funds on nickel, with most of the planned drilling directed at our Lappvattnet nickel project targeting further high-grade nickel shoots. We also have an impressive new gold target at Knaften which we plan to drill-test with a few holes."

Project Highlights from 2021:

Lappvattnet Nickel:

• Phase one drill program covered just 20% of the total strike length of Lappvattnet
• Consistent shallow drill hits of high-grade and wide zones of nickel mineralization, including:
  • 3.19% Nickel over 4.25 metres within a 10.4-metre interval grading 1.51% Nickel in drill hole LAP21-02 (from 45 metres)
  • 2.62% Nickel over 5.65 metres within a 14.0-metre interval grading 1.40% Nickel in drill hole LAP21-05 (from 60 metres)
  • 1.74% Nickel over 10.00 metres in drill hole LAP21-13 (from 21 metres)
  • 36.00 metres grading 0.93% Nickel in drill hole LAP21-04 (from 49 metres)
• Outlined a near-surface untested "twin" electromagnetic (EM) conductor 100 metres north of the Lappvattnet nickel resource

Knaften Gold:

• Target: bedrock source of one of the largest gold-in-till anomalies in Sweden
• Expanded the property to cover entire favourable host rock, a 4 km x 5 km intrusion
• Completed induced polarization ("IP") geophysical survey over parts of the expanded area which outlined very significant IP chargeability anomalies (up to 40 mV/V) within the intrusion

Rormyrberget Nickel:
• Outlined untested EM targets outside of the nickel resource

Planned 2022 Exploration Program:

• 75% or more of available exploration funds on nickel with up to 4,000 metres of drilling planned
• The Company intends to fund its exploration activities by financings in 2022, the details of which would be announced by a separate news release
• Anticipated start late spring as conditions allow
• At Lappvattnet, expanded drilling to test for further high-grade nickel shoots along strike, down-plunge and down-dip of 2021 drill holes, plus the "twin" north EM conductor
• At Knaften Gold, initial testing of new IP anomalies (area has not seen any previous exploration); drill permits and approvals pending
• At Rormyrberget, evaluate and prioritize targets; timing of drilling to be determined

Nickel Resources:

Gungnir's nickel sulphide resources in Sweden include Lappvattnet and Rormyrberget. In 2020, the Company updated both resources which collectively total 177 million pounds of nickel. The properties are accessible year-round with good transportation and industrial infrastructure including shipping facilities and are located about an hour drive from Boliden's mill complex.

• Lappvattnet: Inferred Resource of 780,000 tonnes grading 1.35% nickel for 23.1 million lbs (10.5 million kg) of nickel.
• Rormyrberget: Inferred Resource of 36,800,000 tonnes grading 0.19% nickel for 154 million lbs (70 million kg) of nickel.
