[{"type":"text","content":" HIGHLIGHTS New rock samples from the Baner Trend yield a maximum value of 25.9 g/t from the historic Zenith Mine, just west of recent drilling New gold anomalies extend the gold footprint in the Orogrande Shear Zone by more than 1 kilometre TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / December 7, 2020 / Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE:ITKO) (OTCQB:GLDRF) (FSE:1QB1)(\"Idaho Champion\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce rock sample results from a mapping and sampling program on the North Claims of the Baner Gold Project. Numerous samples from drill pads, access roads, historic mines, and prospect pits returned gold values above 1.0 g/t gold. The Zenith Mine site is located west of the recently completed 2020 drill pattern and will be a priority target for the 2021 drilling season.

It is clear from these new results that the OroGrande Shear Zone is host to a robust gold system for kilometers along strike. The new gold anomalies to the west and north of our 2020 drilling program location give us confidence that there are many more targets to be assessed with our 2021 exploration program.\" This new documented gold occurrence at the BL Mine on the Baner North claims adds more than one kilometre to the gold-bearing strike length of the OroGrande Shear Zone. The recently completed 2020 drill program tested this rich part of the structure. While laboratory delays have been a challenge throughout the western US this year, assay results from the 2020 drill program are expected during December. These rock samples were generally collected from excavations of drill pads, access roads, or the prospect pits and mines along the route. The sampling procedure was to collect representative chip samples across 1 meter of outcrop. In total, this mapping and sampling program entailed the collection of 117 samples across the northern part of the p...
