Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc., is pleased to report that the Company has a five-man crew in the field, working on 822 federal US mining claims in four blocks (approximately 6,871 hectares) in Lemhi County, Idaho collectively known as the “Champion Projects.” Field work will be comprised of site surveys, ridge & spur soil sampling, rock sampling, and geologic mapping. Results will be reported once received from our assay lab, American Analytical Services, Inc.
Jonathan Buick, President and CEO states, “Having completed our successful drill program at the Baner Gold project we have moved our geologic team to the Champion Cobalt projects to begin a field program that will gather vital information and understanding of the projects that will lead to a more robust program in 2019.”
(See Figure 1 below for an Idaho Cobalt Belt map with individual project locations).
The Company believes that the Idaho Cobalt Belt represents the premier district for primary Cobalt discoveries in North America. The region hosts a rich endowment of mineral resources only beginning to be unlocked due to recent exploration activity driven by the price of Cobalt. Modern exploration techniques have proven fruitful in expanding historic resources and making new discoveries.
The activities that will be carried out on the four projects are summarized as follows:
