[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / March 22, 2021 / Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE:ITKO; OTCQB:GLDRF; FSE:1QB1) (\"Idaho Champion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the final round of assay results from the 2020 diamond core drilling program at its 100% controlled Baner Gold Project (\"Baner\") in the producing Elk City Mining District of Idaho. Drilling Highlights: ICGB2020-9 intersected 0.58 g/t gold (\"Au\") over 18.13 metres from 115.87 metres down hole including 3.21 g/t Au over 0.40 metre from 120.75 m also including 1.06 g/t over 5m from 125m down hole ICGB2020-10 intersected 0.73 g/t Au over 10.00 metres from 154 metres downhole. Including 12.90 g/t Au and 203 g/t silver (\"Ag\") over 0.30 m from 162.90 metres Drill holes ICBG2020-9 and ICBG2020-10 are the first known drill tests at the historic BL Mine, and the quartz-sulfide veins encountered are open along strike and at depth. 2020 core drilling at Baner increases the known north-south footprint of mineralization by approximately 1.75 kilometres (\"km\") to approximately 2.25 km. \"The latest drill results from the Baner Project extend our mineralized corridor by more than 400%. The new intercepts at the historic BL Mine included strong gold and silver grades, which are open along strike and at depth. It is early days yet, but this new stepout to the northeast clearly warrants more work,\" commented President and CEO, Jonathan Buick. \"Baner drilling in 2020 showed us more of what we discovered in 2018. We continued to encounter near-surface gold in oxidized rocks, and this year we have seen strong gold values in sulfides as well. We had particularly good success within the central claim block, which will be a priority focus for us in the 2021 drill season.\" Baner Drilling Technical Summary The 2020 drill program consisted of eleven (11) diamond drill holes totaling 2,190 metres (Figure 1). Seven core holes (ICGB2020-1 to 6, and 11) were placed centrally in the company's claim block, targeting the northern extension of the mineralization discovered in Idaho Champion's 2018 drill program (see press releases dated November 30, 2018). Core holes ICGB2020-7 and 8 were collared in the western area of the claim block, targeting strongly anomalous gold values in surface grab samples. Core holes ICGB20209 and 10 are within the northeast corner of the claim blo...
