Gungnir Drills New Ultramafic Horizon, 150 Metres North of
Lappvattnet Nickel Deposit, Sweden
Surrey, BC – July 26, 20 22 - Gungnir Resources Inc. (GUG: TSX -V, ASWRF: OTCPK) (“Gungnir” or the
“Company”) is pleased to report discovery of a new ultramafic unit, specifically, characteristic “jack-straw”
textured peridotite which is host to the high-grade Lappvattnet nickel deposit. Please see attached maps
and photos (see Figure 1).
“Encountering jack-straw peridotite outside of the known nickel deposit opens up further potential on the
property, in particular in the untested area north of the deposit which was highlighted earlier as having a
geophysical signature similar to the Lappvattnet deposit itself . The north target area is highlighted in the
accompanying maps,” commented Jari Paakki, CEO of Gungnir.
The new ultramafic unit was intersected approximately 150 metres north of the Lappvattnet nickel
deposit in two holes, LAP22 -12 and LAP22 -13, drilled from the same set -up on Section 8E testing the
western part of a string of near-surface electromagnetic (EM) anomalies defined in late 2021 (see n ews
release dated February 9, 2022). A 3.5-metre interval of jack -straw peridotite with minor sulphides was
intersected almost near the end of hole LAP22-13, and a 0.30 -metre finer grained peridotite unit with
minor disseminated sulphides was cut in hole LAP22-12, also close to the end of the hole. Both holes will
be extended. All assays and analyses pending. Two additional holes are also being drilled 40 metres to the
east on Section 9E.
To date in 2022, the Company has completed 13 holes from 9 sites for 1,850 metres at Lappvattnet with
drilling continuing. Initial assays from 2022 are expected in the coming weeks. Most of the drilling has
been directed at areas below and down plunge of Gungnir's 2021 drill program which produced several
hits of high-grade and wide-grade nickel mineralization over a strike length of approximately 140 metres
(see below).
2021 Highlight Drill Results:
• 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)
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.
