Gungnir Resumes Drilling at High-Grade Lappvattnet Nickel Project, Sweden

SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / May 8, 2023 / Gungnir Resources Inc. (TSXV:GUG)(OTC
PINK:ASWRF) ("Gungnir" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that drilling
will start this week at the Company's Lappvattnet high-grade nickel project in
northern Sweden. Drilling will continue to focus on upgrading and potentially
expanding the Lappvattnet nickel deposit, specifically targeting: (a) the
eastern, shallow down-plunge extension of the main nickel zone; (b)
additional, thickened high-grade nickel shoots within the eastern half of the
existing inferred resource; and (c) grade and continuity of the newly
discovered footwall zone.

"Drilling at Lappvattnet continues to deliver high-grade nickel sulphides with
possibly some of the highest-grade nickel drill intersections recorded in
Sweden. We had an 80% hit-rate with our drilling in 2021 and 2022 which
returned numerous, impressive near-surface nickel intersections including
twelve holes with individual assays greater than 5% Ni with a peak assay of
7.38% Ni. We plan to build on these successes moving forward," commented Jari
Paakki, CEO.

Highlight drill results from 2021/22:

·      10.4 m @ 1.51% Ni including 4.25 m @ 3.19% Ni (ddh LAP21-02, from
45 m)

·      14.0 m @ 1.40% Ni including 5.65 m @ 2.62% Ni (ddh LAP21-05, from
60 m)

·      10.0 m @ 1.74% Ni (ddh LAP21-13, from 21 m)

·      36.0 m @ 0.93% Ni (ddh LAP21-04, from 49 m)

·      9.0 m @ 2.35% Ni including 5.66 m @ 3.02% Ni (ddh LAP22-19, from
66 m)

·      18.28 m @ 1.49% Ni including 5.76 m @ 4.04% Ni (ddh LAP22-25,
from 58 m)

In 2022, the Company drilled 30 holes for a total of 4,240 metres and 15 holes
for 1,300 metres in 2021. The 45 holes were drilled in the western half of the
property covering a strike length of 450 metres with nickel intercept points
(main nickel zone) to a vertical depth of about 100 metres.

The current two-year drill permit at Lappvattnet is valid to the end of this
year with further drilling possible with a new work plan submission. The total
amount of drill metres in 2023 will be based on continuing positive results
and access to planned drill sites. Heavier than normal snowfall this winter
and subsequent melt may result in prolonged wet conditions in the eastern
parts of the planned drill area. The Company is actively monitoring spring
thaw and ground conditions.
