It was 280 metres east of Hole LAP21-05, which assayed 2.62% nickel over 5.65 metres within a 14.0-metre interval grading 1.40% nickel, and 320 metres east of Hole LAP21-02, which assayed 3.19% nickel over 4.25 metres within a 10.4-metre interval grading 1.51% nickel, both reported in 2021.
The 195-metre hole, drilled at a dip of -75 degrees, is part of the continuing, systematic drilling of the Lappvattnet nickel deposit, with the goal of upgrading and expanding the existing resource, and a focus on defining further high-grade nickel shoots. Visually, the best mineralization in Hole LAP22-19 occurs in Box 9, which consisted of massive, semi-massive, net-textured, veined, and disseminated sulphides, extending from about 64 to 75 metres. To date in 2022, the company has drilled a total of approximately 2,800 metres in 18 holes with assays results to follow from drill hole LAP22-10 onward.
Gungnir's nickel sulphide resources in Sweden include Lappvattnet and Rormyrberget, with both accessible year-round with good transportation and industrial infrastructure including shipping facilities and are located about an hour drive from Boliden's mill complex. In 2020, the company updated both resources which collectively total 177 million pounds of nickel.
