Second Core Rig To Champagne Project In Idaho

TORONTO - Idaho Champion Gold Mines reported on the 2020 exploration program at the Champagne Gold Project in Idaho. As part of the 5,000 meter drilling program the company has mobilized a second core rig to focus on new target areas identified between and around the two past-producing open pits.

"Since adding an additional drill rig at Champagne in September, our technical team has identified favorable geology and alteration in the holes that have been drilled and logged so far. Our geologists have also developed additional targets peripheral to the historic open pits from mapping, sampling, and analysis of historic prospects and reports. By adding this additional drill rig even before assay results are returned, we can maximize our opportunity to assess these targets before the onset of winter," said Jonathan Buick, President and CEO.

Champion further announces the completion of the 2020 exploration program at the Baner Project, near Elk City, Idaho. The Baner drill program completed 13 holes for a total of 2,200 meters. While winter weather influenced the early termination of drilling, logging, and sampling of the drill core continues. The team has been encouraged by the geology and alteration encountered at Baner and the Company looks forward to the receipt of exploration results, including analysis of drill core, during the fourth quarter.
