Surrey, BC – March 10, 2021 - Gungnir Resources Inc. (GUG: TSX-V, ASWRF: OTCPK) (“Gungnir” or the “Company”) announces drilling and geophysical work plans at the Company’s gold and nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE projects in northern Sweden.

Work Plans:

• Drilling to test structural extensions of the Knaften 300 Gold Zone “Knaften 300”. Drill results at Knaften 300 include shallow intersections of high-grade gold (59.6 g/t Au over 1.00 metres in hole KN19-06) and numerous wide zones of gold mineralization including 2.92 g/t Au over 13.00 metres in hole 200707 (re-sample by Gungnir);
• Induced Polarization (IP) geophysics to outline potential extensions of Knaften 300 and new targets on recently acquired permits;
• Drilling at the Company’s nickel-copper-cobalt-PGE projects, Lappvattnet and Rormyrberget testing for deposit extensions, and grade and distribution of PGEs (platinum, palladium and gold);
• Work is expected to commence in Q2 2021 as soon as approvals are received and ground conditions allow. Up to 50 line-kilometres of IP geophysics and 2,500 metres of drilling has initially been planned.

Knaften Gold Target:

The target is the bedrock source(s) of the large Knaften gold-in-till anomaly (“Knaften anomaly”), one of the largest in Sweden. The bedrock source is believed to be partially identified at Knaften 300, but based on the sheer size of the Knaften anomaly it is reasonable to expect more gold to be found in situ. Other gold-in-till anomalies in the region cover either current and past-producing gold mines or known gold resources, including the Barsele intrusive-hosted gold deposit (Agnico Eagle/Barsele JV with more than 2 million ounces of gold ⁽¹⁾) and the Boliden/Bjorkdal gold deposit area with more than 5 million ounces of gold produced ⁽²⁾.

Drilling highlights at Knaften 300 from Gungnir and previous operators include:

• 14.07 g/t Au over 4.25 m (from 138.75 to 143.00 m) in hole KN19-06
  • Includes 59.6 g/t Au over 1.00 m
• 5.39 g/t Au over 2.00 m (from 98.00 to 100.00 m) in hole KN19-09
• 3.45 g/t Au over 10.75 m (from 67.05 to 77.80 m) in hole 96009
• 3.20 g/t Au over 10.00 m (from 83.50 to 93.50 m) in hole 200707
• 2.92 g/t Au over 13.00 m (from 81.5 to 94.50 m) in re-sample 200707
• 3.11 g/t Au over 8.00 m (from 135.80 to 143.80 m) in hole 200714
• 2.13 g/t Au over 14.45 m (from 55.00 to 69.45 m) in hole KNA01001
• 2.01 g/t Au over 6.70 m (from 190.50 to 197.20 m) in hole 200710
• 2.89 g/t Au over 5.00 m (from 118.80 to 123.80 m) in hole 200715

Nickel-Copper-Cobalt-PGE Projects:

The Company’s Lappvattnet and Rormyrberget nickel deposits are located in the same general area as the Knaften property. The two deposits collectively contain a newly expanded NI43-101 resource which outlined 177 million pounds of nickel in the inferred resources category (see news release dated November 25, 2020). At Lappvattnet, there is potential for significant PGEs as demonstrated by Gungnir’s sampling including 50.91 g/t PGEs (39.0 g/t platinum, 11.8 g/t palladium, 0.11 g/t gold) with 2.13% nickel over 0.45 metres at Lappvattnet (see news release dated March 30, 2020). Also, there is potential to improve nickel grades with assaying of un-sampled drill core within the Rormyrberget resource and to expand higher-grade zones including 2.33% nickel over 12.50 metres (see news release dated July 14, 2020).

2020 Resources ⁽³⁾:

• Rormyrberget: Inferred Resource of 36,800,000 tonnes grading 0.19% nickel for 154 million lbs of nickel.
• Lappvattnet: Inferred Resource of 780,000 tonnes grading 1.35% nickel for 23.1 million lbs of nickel.
