Heraldo de Madrid - Gungnir Adds 92 Square Kilometres to Its Knaften-Hemberget Gold Line Property Package in Sweden

Highlights:

• Expanded, under-explored 150 sq km property package ⁽¹⁾ situated along the same "Gold Line" structural trend as First Nordic Metals Corp. that recently closed a C$11.5-million financing to fund exploration.

• Located immediately up-ice of one the largest gold-in-till anomalies in the district.

• Pre-expansion permits host the open-ended Knaften 300 Gold Zone ⁽²⁾, a new 2024 surface gold target discovery, unsourced mineralized glacial float cluster with assays up to 8.52 g/t Au, untested high chargeability drill targets, as well as secondary base metals targets.

• New permit applications expand coverage of potentially favourable greenstone belt lithologies, shear zones and intrusive rocks known to host gold mineralization in the region.

"With recent developments in the region and at a time of record gold prices, we have decided to focus on our highly prospective gold project in Sweden. In doing so, we submitted applications to significantly increase our land holdings along the Gold Line where we have held permits for some time with the intention of continuing to explore for the bedrock source(s) of the large Knaften regional gold-in-till anomaly", commented Jari Paakki, CEO. Mr. Paakki further added, "To fund and advance our now expanded Knaften-Hemberget gold project, as well as our temporarily paused nickel projects, the Company is considering multiple alternatives, including raising funds, an earn-in type arrangement or possibly an equitable merger".

The main new application area (Knaften nr 800) adjoins west and east of the Knaften property permits covering folded greenstone sequences with north-west and north-east trending shear zones ⁽³⁾ representing potential structural-lithologic sites for gold deposition. The smaller application (Knaften nr 900) covers the north-east corner of the known gold-hosting, quartz diorite intrusion. Other than mainly regional geological mapping, limited exploration is reported on these application areas with known drilling conducted on Gungnir's pre-expansion permits, mainly focused at the open-ended Knaften 300 Gold Zone. Significant drill results at the Knaften 300 Gold Zone by Gungnir and previous operators include:

• 59.60 g/t Au over 1.00 m (from 142.00 m) in hole KN19-06

• 5.39 g/t Au over 2.00 m (from 98.00 m) in hole KN19-09

• 3.45 g/t Au over 10.75 m (from 67.05 m) in hole 96009

• 3.20 g/t Au over 10.00 m (from 83.50 m) in hole 200707

• 2.92 g/t Au over 13.00 m (from 81.50 m) in re-sample 200707

• 3.11 g/t Au over 8.00 m (from 135.80 m) in hole 200714

• 2.13 g/t Au over 14.45 m (from 55.00 m) in hole KNA01001

• 2.01 g/t Au over 6.70 m (from 190.50 m) in hole 200710

• 2.89 g/t Au over 5.00 m (from 118.80 m) in hole 200715

Successful earlier exploration work by Gungnir at Knaften also includes discovery of a glacial float (boulder) cluster with assays returning up to 8.52 g/t Au (remains unsourced), identification of a new intrusion-hosted gold model at Knaften 300 with strong IP chargeability anomalies up to 40 mV/V in the south-east part of the intrusion (remain untested), as well as secondary targets including drill-discovery of VMS-related alteration and mineralization with anomalous zinc and gabbro-hosted copper-nickel mineralization, both previously unrecognized in the Knaften region. Work completed by Gungnir includes regional and local prospecting, completion of various geophysical surveys and drilling over 6,000 metres from 2017 to 2021.

Our latest developments in the Knaften-Hemberget area include our 2024 discovery of highly anomalous gold, up to 0.74 g/t Au in outcrop, from first-pass sampling within a newly identified gold exploration target on the Hemberget property (see news release dated September 16, 2024). The surface gold exploration target is defined by a two-kilometre-plus trend of angular to sub-angular mineralized and altered boulders, plus local possible lamprophyre dykes. The disseminated style of mineralization (arsenopyrite) and related silica-sericite alteration, makes this new surface gold discovery ideal for Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics to potentially outline drill targets with the goal of locating higher-grade gold mineralization; for further details including maps and photos refer to link below: https://www.gungnirresources.com/_resources/pdfs/Hemberget-September-2024.pdf?v=110309.

Gold Line Summary

The Knaften-Hemberget project is located in the south-east portion of the Gold Line, immediately north, up-ice of one of the largest, mainly unsourced gold-in-till anomalies in the district. The Gold Line is a proven but under-explored gold belt covering gold deposits and occurrences in different geological environments roughly aligned along a regional tectonic zone with gold mineralization primarily associated with arsenopyrite. It hosts Gungnir's Knaften 300 Gold Zone and more advanced gold deposits including Barsele containing greater than 2 million oz Au (Agnico Eagle 55% / First Nordic Metals 45%; see First Nordic's website) and Dragon Mining's Svartliden and Faboliden deposits which includes a gold mill at Svartliden.

As an interesting empirical observation, these four deposits/zones along the Gold Line are roughly 30 km apart on average, similar to regularly-spaced intervals of orogenic gold deposits in much larger global gold belts in Superior, Canada, and Yilgarn, Australia where deposits cluster into camps, commonly spaced every 30 to 50 km ⁽⁴⁾. It may be a coincidence or it could possibly also suggest fundamental structural sites for gold deposition along the Gold Line with further up-side potential, especially in the less explored Knaften-Hemberget area.

High-Grade Nickel

The Company continues to seek a quality partner to continue advancing its nickel assets, including the high-grade Lappvattnet nickel deposit. Gungnir to date has drilled 7,345 metres in fifty-three holes at Lappvattnet (2021-2023) with the goal of potentially upgrading and expanding the existing nickel deposit. Drilling has produced numerous, impressive near-surface nickel hits (Main Zone) including individual assays up to 7.38% Ni, as well as discovery of a new Footwall Zone. The key drill-target is the shallow, eastern down-plunge deposit extension where historic drilling is very sparse. Up to September 30, 2024, the Company reported C$1.36M in expenditures at Lappvattnet. Highlight Main Zone drill intersections include:

• 3.19% Ni over 4.25 metres within 10.4 metres of 1.51% Ni in hole LAP21-02 (from 45 metres)

• 2.62% Ni over 5.65 metres within 14.0 metres of 1.40% Ni in hole LAP21-05 (from 60 metres)

• 1.74% Ni over 10.00 metres in hole LAP21-13 (from 21 metres)

• 36.00 metres grading 0.93% Ni in hole LAP21-04 (from 49 metres)

• 3.02% Ni over 5.66 metres within 9.0 metres of 2.35% Ni in hole LAP22-19 (from 66 metres)

• 4.04% Ni over 5.76 metres 18.28 metres of 1.49% Ni in hole LAP22-25 (from 58 metres)

• 2.47% Ni over 6.10 metres hole LAP23-01 (from 66 metres)

Notes/Reference:

1. The expanded Knaften-Hemberget property package consists of seven permits, including four currently valid permits (Knaften nr 100, 200, 600 and 700), one permit under application for extension (Knaften nr 300) and two new permit applications (Knaften nr 800 totaling 8,967 ha and Knaften 900 totaling 249 ha), with the latter three applications pending final approvals. Payments for applications have all been made. Gungnir previously held Knaften nr 900 and a portion of Knaften nr 800. Adjustments to current and new permit blocks can be expected from time to time based on prospectivity, renewal costs and successful extension applications.

2. The reader is cautioned that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource at the Knaften 300 Gold Zone, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource.
