Gungnir Drills 7.0 Metres of 1.16% Nickel and Identifies New
Footwall Nickel Target at Lappvattnet
Surrey, BC – December 1, 2022 - Gungnir Resources Inc. (GUG: TSX-V, ASWRF: OTCPK) (“Gungnir” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report further , near-surface drill results and visuals at the Company’s
Lappvattnet nickel deposit in northern Sweden. Highlighted holes include LAP22 -10 which cut 7.0
metres of 1.16% Ni and LAP22-19 which intersected a new footwall nickel target approximately 75
metres below the main Lappvattnet deposit. Assays are pending for thirteen holes. Please click link for
property map, cross-section and core photos (link to figures).
“It l ooks like we may have the beginnings of a new footwall nickel target in the central part of the
deposit, adding further potential at Lappvattnet. Historic holes in th is area from the 1970s appear to
have been drilled just short of this new target. So far, with longer drill holes, we have s ix footwall hits
over a strike length of approximately 100 metres in the central part of Lappvattnet where it r emains
mostly open along strike and at depth. Assays are pending for five of these six holes”, commented Jari
Paakki, CEO.
The new footwall target was encountered in holes LAP22 -16, -17, -19, -26, -27, and -28 drilled on
sections 15E to 16.5E (see accompanying map). The intercepts range from core lengths of 2 to 15 metres
consisting of variably mineralized peridotite, local sulphide pods and disseminated sulphides in enclosing
sedimentary gneisses. Assays f rom the lower part of LAP22-19 returned 5.0 metres of 0.30% Ni (or 2.4
metres of 0.40% Ni) from 149 metres, including 0.96% Ni over 0.42 metres from 150 metres down -hole.
Assays for the other five holes are pending. Notable “ball-textured” peridotite/pyroxenite (previously
not observed) with local matrix sulphides was encountered in hole LAP22 -28 (see slide 3 in
accompanying figures) , and may represent part of a conduit and source site for the nickel-bearing
magma. Modelling and evaluations continue.
Also reported today are the final assay results from the western part of Lappvattnet. Hole LAP22 -10,
drilled on section 12E, returned 7.0 metres of 1.16% Ni starting at a down -hole depth of 98 metres,
including 0.53 metres of 5.31% Ni at 103.9 metres. LAP22 -10 also includes 6.0 metres of 0.3 0% Ni
starting at 109 metres down-hole. Scout holes , LAP22-12 to -15 testing a small area to the north ,
encountered weakly anomalous nickel.
Assays are pending for holes LAP22-16, -17, -20 to -23, and -25 to -31. All of these holes are located
within the central part of Lappvattnet and include mineralized intervals from the main Lappvattnet
deposit and the new footwall target. Co -ordinate details for all holes drilled by Gungnir in 2021/22 are
tabled in slide 2 in the accompanying figures.
All lengths noted are core length; true width has not been determined. Core was logged and tagged for
sampling at the Company’s logging facility in Lycksele , Sweden , then shipped to ALS Minerals’ Core
Services Laboratory in Mala , Sweden. 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 mult i-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.
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 milli on 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.
