VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 12, 2017 / Gungnir Resources Inc. (TSX-V: GUG, OTC PINK: ASWRF) ("Gungnir" or the "Company") has submitted applications to acquire 5 new permits totaling 25 sq. km in northern Sweden.
The permits cover significant gold, silver and copper mineralized boulders/blocks along a north-west trending corridor located approximately 200 km north of the Company's Knaften project. Historic prospecting results include:
- 7.7 g/t Au
- 4.3 g/t Au and 2.3 % Cu
- 3.7 g/t Au, 380 g/t Ag and 1.3 % Cu
- 2.6 g/t Au and 10 g/t Ag
- 2.54 g/t Au
- 2.09 % Cu, 25 g/t Ag and 0.9 g/t Au
- 1.96 % Cu and 1.3 g/t Au
- 1.52 % Cu and 33 g/t Ag
"As part of the Company's strategy to actively monitor new quality opportunities and to maintain a pipe-line of projects from prospecting to advanced stage, we have added these early-stage prospects to our portfolio. We believe we have picked the initial nuggets within this potentially over-looked mineralized trend in northern Sweden, and plan a summer prospecting program on all five permits," commented Gungnir's CEO, Jari Paakki.
Permit applications are subject to final approval by the Inspector of Mining in Sweden. Prospecting samples noted above are historic surface grab samples of boulders/blocks and may not be representative of mineralization hosted on the permits.

In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as "plans," "expects," "is expected," "budget," "scheduled," "estimates," "forecasts," "intends," "anticipates" or "believes," or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may," "could," "would," "might" or "will be taken," "occur" or "be achieved," or the negative of these words or comparable terminology. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual performance of the Company to be materially different from any anticipated performance expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements or information include, but are not limited to, statements or information with respect to Gungnir Resources' plan for future funding, and exploration and development of its properties.
