Gungnir Drills 2.14% Nickel over 3.3 Metres, 5.15% Nickel over
0.73 Metres, 9.8 Metres of 0.82% Nickel and 349 g/t Silver
over 1.72 Metres at Lappvattnet
Surrey, BC – September 7, 2022 - Gungnir Resources Inc. (GUG: TSX-V, ASWRF: OTCPK) (“Gungnir” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report further assays from drilling at the Lappvattnet nickel deposit in northern
Sweden. Results are for three drill holes, LAP22-06B, -08 and -09. To date in 2022, the Company has drilled
a total of approximately 2,800 metres in 18 holes with further results to follow from drill hole LAP22-10
onward. Please view accompanying map (see Figure 1).
“Our nickel resource drill-off at Lappvattnet continues. Holes reported today were drilled to further define
the limits and trend of the main peridotite body in the western part of the deposit. All three holes
recorded a 5% or better nickel assay and a bonanza silver hit of 349 g/t in hole LAP22-09. Initial indications
suggest both upper and lower contacts of the peridotite could be favourable sites for higher-grade
concentrations of precious metals, silver as well as platinum group metals, including previously reported
44.9 g/t platinum, and 39.0 g/t platinum with 11.8 g/t palladium all of which can be valuable by-products
in massive nickel sulphide deposits”, commented Jari Paakki, CEO.
Results Table
Results are from continuing, systematic drilling of the Lappvattnet nickel deposit with the goal of
upgrading and expanding the existing resource with a focus on defining further high-grade nickel shoots.
Drilling has now progressed to the sparsely drilled eastern two -thirds of the deposit where the resource
is based on just thirteen drill intercepts, six of which contain individual assays of greater than 5% Ni. Our
current drilling in this area to date inc ludes holes LAP22-16 to -19 which are currently being logged and
prepped for cutting. Holes LAP22-12 to LAP22-15 tested the Lappvattnet north target. Hole LAP22-11 was
not drilled. All assays are pending.

Holes LAP-06B, -08 and -09 were drilled between Sections 10E and 12E to define part of the upper contact
of the main peridotite body, the key source rock for nickel (see Figure 1) . Peridotite was intersected in
two of the three holes, LAP22-6B (1.6 metre core length) and LAP22-08 (6 metre core length), the latter
of which produced the wide r nickel interval of 9.8 metres grading 0.82% Ni . Nickel intersections of 3.3
metres of 2.14% Ni and 2.45 metres of 1.87% Ni in holes LAP22-06B and LAP22-08, respectively, occur at
the upper contact of the peridotite. The high-grade silver of 349 g/t Ag including 0.48% Ni over 1.72 metres
in hole LAP22-09 was intersected immediately before a massive sulphide interval which graded 5.15% Ni
over 0.73 metres, both within sedimentary gneisses. All nickel intersections are within 80 metres vertically
below surface.
Please refer to corporate presentation for all 2021 drill results and news release dated Aug 9, 2022 for the
first batch of 2022 assays. Additional historic results are contained in the 2020 Technical Report. Highlight
assay results are shown in Figure 1. Please note d rill intercept points in this figure are preliminary; final
positions to follow once down-hole surveys are all plotted.

The Company also reports that it has received final drilling approvals to the end of 2023 for up to 10,000
metres.
Drill core was logged and tagged for sampling at the Company’s core logging facility in Lycksele then
shipped to ALS Minerals’ Core Services Laboratory in Mala. Core was sawed on site in Mala by ALS staff
and prepped sample material was sent to ALS’s Lab in Ireland. Core was analyzed for multi-elements using
code ME-MS41, CuOG46 analysis for >10000 ppm Cu, NiOG46 analysis for >10000 ppm Ni, and Pt, Pd, and
Au were analyzed using fire assay method PGM -ICP27. Blanks , certified standards and duplicates are
routinely included in sample batches for quality assurance and control.
