SURREY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / September 21, 2021 / Gungnir Resources Inc. (TSXV:GUG)(OTC PINK:ASWRF) ("Gungnir" or the "Company") is very pleased to report additional high-grade nickel results from continuing drilling at the Company's Lappvattnet nickel deposit in Sweden. Today's results are expedited assays from hole LAP21-05 located 40 metres along strike of hole LAP21-02 which intersected 3.19% Nickel over 4.25 metres (see news releases dated August 31 and September 15, 2021).

Drill Hole LAP21-05 Highlights:

• 2.62% Ni over 5.65 metres within a 14.00 metre interval grading 1.40% Ni
• Peak of 6.67% Ni over 0.65 metres
• High-grade Nickel intercept less than 60 metres below surface

Results Table:

The high-grade nickel intercept in hole LAP21-05 consists of several sections of massive and semi-massive sulphides located at the upper contact of the host peridotite intrusion with the intercept located less than 60 metres below surface.

Hole LAP21-05 was drilled on Section 9E, 40 metres east of high-grade nickel mineralization recently intersected in hole LAP21-02 which drilled on Section 8E. LAP21-05 was one of three holes drilled on Section 9E testing a 90-metre interval up-dip of historic hole 2007-04 (0.97% Ni over 17.0 metres from 92.0 metres). Hole LAP21-05, along with LAP21-03 and LAP21-04 were all drilled at location 1,741,549mN and 7,165,169mE (RT90-2.5 co-ordinates) at an azimuth of 340 degrees. LAP21-05, a 100.3 metre hole, was drilled at a dip of -85 degrees, LAP21-04 was drilled 98 metres at a dip of -75 degrees, and LAP21-03 was drilled 77.5 metres at a dip of -45 degrees. Historic hole 74209 (2.87% Ni over 2.81 metres from 39.24 metres) is located between LAP21-03 and LAP21-04.

Drilling continues with tighter spaced holes at the shallow western part of the Lappvattnet deposit with a current plan of 15 drill holes covering a strike length of approximately 140 metres. Please link to accompanying attachment for plan map showing drill sections and a core photo of nickel mineralization in hole LAP21-05 (Figure 1).

Assays are pending for the lower portion of hole LAP21-05, as well as for holes LAP21-01, LAP21-03 to LAP21-06 and LAP21-08 to LAP21-10, all of which have been submitted to the lab. 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, Cu OG46 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 and certified standards are routinely included in sample batches for quality assurance and control.

Gungnir's nickel resources in Sweden include Lappvattnet and Rormyrberget. In 2020, the Company updated both resources which collectively total 177 million pounds of nickel (see Technical Report with an effective date of November 17, 2020):

• 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.
