TORONTO, March 23, 2020 - Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE:ITKO) ("Champion" or the "Company"), a discovery-focused gold exploration company, announces that it has implemented preventative measures for both corporate and technical offices in order to maintain the health and safety of the Company's employees and their local communities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
First and foremost, the Company is focused on the safety of our employees, consultants and advisors. Non-essential travel has been eliminated and in-person meetings have been curtailed given the social distancing that most groups are observing. As an exploration stage company, we often work remotely in the normal course, and we have formalized that approach for the time being with little impact on productivity.
The Company's current focus is on two areas, each of which is progressing well:
- Review of the newly acquired data base for our Champagne mine. Champion's technical team is currently reviewing the technical data base for the Champagne mine, the data base was purchased from Kinross Gold (Press release March 11, 2020). The Company will provide updates on its findings in due course.
- Budgeting and planning for 2020 field season at Baner and Champagne. With the recently closed over-subscribed Private Placement, our team is currently putting together the field program for both projects. Champion has received its drill permit for the Baner project. Work would normally commence after spring break up, so, as of this date, the Company has not been delayed in commencing work.
Each of these activities is of importance, and each is well advanced. The plan remains to complete these de-risking steps and then evaluate market conditions prior to commencing field programs.
