Aberdeen Minerals Ltd - Investee Company Update

Gunsynd Plc (AIM: GUN, AQSE: GUN) is pleased to announce that it has received an update from its investee company Aberdeen Minerals Ltd ("Aberdeen"; formerly known as Strategic Minerals Europe Ltd), a private UK company exploring for Nickel-Copper-Cobalt deposits in North East Scotland.

Aberdeen has completed its first phase of drilling and assaying at the Arthrath Project in Aberdeenshire, where it is exploring for deposits of nickel, copper and cobalt.

Highlights

·  Aberdeen's maiden drilling programme involved the completion of seven angled diamond drill holes ranging in length from 130 to 400 metres for a total length of 1,715 metres.

·  High grade highlights in the longest hole ever drilled at Arthrath, AR007DD (400 metres), confirm the depth continuity of mineralisation 100 metres below the level of historical drilling and include:

o  1.7 metres grading 0.66% nickel (Ni), 0.47% copper (Cu), 0.06% cobalt (Co) (0.91% nickel equivalent, NiEq) from 249 metres

o  4.5 metres grading 0.70% Ni, 0.39% Cu. 0.06% Co (0.92% NiEq) from 258 metres

o  2.0 metres grading 0.73% Ni, 0.70% Cu. 0.07% Co (1.08% NiEq) from 270 metres

·  Validated the Aberdeenshire mafic-ultramafic intrusive system is dynamic and the application of modern nickel exploration technology and the latest 'conduit style' geological models could uncover higher grades than the shallow historical results.

·  Intervals of net-textured and massive sulphides were intersected within a broader zone of disseminated style mineralisation, with individual sample grades up to 2% nickel and 1.2% copper providing evidence for higher grade potential.

·  All holes intersected nickel-copper-cobalt sulphides within a wide and continuous zone of "magmatic sulphide" mineralisation which extends from near surface and is confirmed by drill intercepts including:

o  AR007DD: 90 metres grading 0.28% Ni, 0.18% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.38% NiEq) from 184 metres

o  AR001DD: 89 metres grading 0.22% Ni, 0.17% Cu, 0.02% Co (0.30% NiEq) from 95 metres

o  AR002DD: 44 metres grading 0.30% Ni, 0.29% Cu, 0.03% Co (0.44% NiEq) from 98 metres

§ Includes 12 metres grading 0.45% Ni, 0.44% Cu, 0.04% Co (0.67% NiEq)

o  AR003DD: 15 metres grading 0.42% Ni, 0.28% Cu, 0.05% Co (0.59% NiEq) from 39 metres.

·  These results validate data from Rio Tinto drilling in 1972 providing Aberdeen with confidence in the historical dataset across the Arthrath Project area.

·  Exploration potential for clusters of high priority targets in the broader 100km x 100km intrusive district generated from Aberdeen's proprietary geophysical dataset (SkyTEM survey conducted in September 2022).

Aberdeen has retained CSA Global (a division of ERM), an independent mining industry consultancy, to prepare a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate and / or Exploration Target in accordance with the JORC Code 2012 Edition (Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves). This will represent a key milestone at the Arthrath Project for Aberdeen, and is an important step towards accelerated investment in exploration and development of its projects in North East Scotland.

Gunsynd subscribed for 2,000,000 shares at 7.5 pence per ordinary share for a total consideration of £150,000 as part of the fundraising announced on 16 January 2023.
