[{"type":"text","content":" Highlights include 132 g/t Silver and 20.7% Copper Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - March 23, 2023) - Idaho Champion (CSE: ITKO) (OTCQB: GLDRF) (FSE: 1QB1) (\"Idaho Champion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the results from its fall 2022 reconnaissance mapping and sampling program at the Company's Twin Peaks cobalt project located in the heart of the Idaho Cobalt Belt (Figure 1). The program represented the initial exploration work in some of the remote areas of the large property package, focused on historical mine sites and outcrop of metasedimentary rocks, such as argillite and siltite. The team collected 19 samples and visited several historical workings while assessing significant areas of outcrop wherever encountered. Most of the mineralized samples reported here come from sampling of historical mine dumps. The initial work identified vein and structurally controlled mineralization that was the likely host of the historical mining, but the Company also recognized multiple directions of veining and faulting extending away from the historical mines that warrant additional work later in 2023. Figure 1 - Idaho Champion Cobalt Belt Properties Jonathan Buick, Idaho Champion's CEO, commented: \"The fall sampling program was our first visit to some of these areas. The sampling validated the mineralization at some of the historical mines on the Twin Peaks Project and turned up additional historical prospects of which we weren't aware. These metasedimentary rocks are part of the Belt Supergroup of Precambrian rocks that host significant copper-silver deposits in addition to the copper-cobalt deposits that made the Idaho Cobalt Belt famous. In these early days of prospecting for the project, it is encouraging to see these narrow structures hosting high grades of silver, copper, and lead. These showings will help direct our first full season of follow-up work.\" Table 1 lists all the samples from the program that contained greater than 10 g/t silver or 0.5% copper or lead.
