Idaho Champion Gold Increases Baner Property Package and Initiates Sample Program on New Target

Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE:ITKO)(OTCQB:GLDRF) ("Champion" or the "Company"), announces a property package increase at the Baner Gold Project ("Baner") with the addition of Twelve (12) new mining claims (the "Angel Zone") due west and parallel of the 2018 Baner gold discovery and where current drilling is underway. Champion will immediately begin a grid sampling program

"During our 2018 exploration program, we ran IP and geophysical surveys across our entire property package and the west end showed tremendous potential as a parallel zone. Our Baner drilling success suggested a strong correlation to the IP and geophysical hot spots which leads us to believe that the Angel Zone could host a parallel structure to the system we are drill-defining currently," stated Jonathan Buick, President and CEO. "One of our geologists, Angel, was the person that sampled the area within our property package at the end of the 2018 exploration program and the results warranted further expansion of our Baner property boundaries."
