Nickel up 2.66% in overseas trading!$3.4 million in the bank and 177 million ounces of nickel. Results pending front LAP-19. Trading at .11 per share. Gungnir Resources Inc. has hit an impressive drill intercept of massive sulphides in drill hole LAP22-19 from continuing drilling at the Lappvattnet nickel deposit in northern Sweden.
Visually the best mineralization in drill hole LAP22-19 occurs in box 9, consisting of massive, semi-massive, net-textured, veined and disseminated sulphides. The mineralized zone extends from about 64 to 75 metres. Assays pending.
Hole LAP22-19 was drilled on section 16E in the sparsely drilled central part of the Lappvattnet resource. It is part of the continuing, systematic drilling of the Lappvattnet nickel deposit with the goal of upgrading and expanding the existing resource with a focus on defining further high-grade nickel shoots. Hole LAP22-19 was drilled at an azimuth of 335 degrees at location 1,741,809mE and 7,165,274mN (RT90-2.5 co-ordinates). The 195-metre-long hole was drilled at a dip of minus 75 degrees.
