[{"type":"text","content":" Work Program to Include High-Resolution Airborne Magnetics, VLF EM and LiDAR Surveys Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 10, 2022) - Idaho Champion (CSE: ITKO) (OTCQB: GLDRF) (FSE: 1QB1) (\"Idaho Champion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a work program on the Company's two 100%-owned lithium pegmatite projects (the \"IQ Projects\") in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay territory of Quebec. The work program will begin with high-resolution magnetic, VLF-electromagnetic, radiometric and LiDAR/imagery surveys covering approximately 2,188 line-kilometres. The survey will be completed by GoldSpot (TSXV: SPOT), a division of EarthLabs Inc. GoldSpot will conduct the survey using their newly developed M-PASS system, which consists of a triaxial magnetic gradient magnetic/VLF platform, which includes 2048 radiometric and high-precision LiDAR sensors, along with high-resolution cameras capable of producing four-band imagery. The high-resolution cameras are used to supplement the magnetic and VLF data sets with LiDAR and orthophotos. These data sets will provide the Company with geophysical and topographic information that will be useful in advancing the regional structural interpretation and analysis of the prospective lithium pegmatite projects. Idaho Champion has also engaged and mobilized a Quebec-based consulting geology team to advance prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling programs aimed at prioritizing targets for a second phase of field work in 2023. \"Now that we are boots-on-the-ground, we are eager to identify priority targets in this favourable district. The airborne survey that is currently underway will help us assess the geology and setting from a district-scale perspective, while our team on the ground is focused on following up on showings reported from historic work. Our \"micro-macro\" approach should provide considerable guidance for the direction of our 2023 program. We look forward to seeing the data and analysis that results from our maiden program in Quebec,\" stated Jonathan Buick, President and CEO. About the IQ Lithium Projects (Blanche and Charles) Blanche is comprised of 256 claims totaling approximately 130 km2. The project lies within a volcano-sedimentary belt striking ENE. The bedrock geology at the Blanche project is mainly composed of a broad east-northeast tren...
