(CSE: ITKO) (“Champion” or the “Company”), a discovery-focused gold exploration company, announces a non-brokered private placement of up to 12,500,000 units at a price of $0.08 per unit for a gross proceeds of up to $1,000,000 (the “Financing”).Each unit will consist of one (1) common share and one (1) non-transferrable purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).

The Company may pay finders’ fees consisting of 8% cash and 8% non-transferable warrants in connection with the financing, subject to compliance with the policy of the Canadian Securities Exchange (the “CSE”). Completion of the private placement and payment of any finders’ fees remain subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the CSE. The proceeds of the financing will be used for funding an exploration program at the Baner Gold and Champagne Projects in Idaho, USA and for general working capital purposes.Baner Gold ProjectThe Baner Gold Project is located near Elk City, Idaho County, Idaho.  In 2018 Idaho Champion made a gold discovery at the Baner Creek project with near surface oxide gold mineralization in drilling over a 500-meter strike length.  During 2020, the Company anticipates continued exploration on the Baner Gold project. The Baner Project is located within the Orogrande shear zone (OSZ), a 20-kilometer-long and up to 1-kilometer wide regional shear zone located in Central Idaho.  The OSZ resembles a series of grabens composed of metamorphosed Proterozoic belt sedimentary rocks, Cretaceous Idaho batholith intruded by Tertiary rhyolites and dacitic dikes.  The BC claim block covers a series of parallel shear zones on the eastern margin of the OSZ. Hydrothermal alteration is spatially associated with the OSZ and consists of silicification, seritization, and chloritization. Mineralization is hosted by three types of broadly defined deposit types; Tertiary epithermal deposits, Cretaceous intrusive related gold systems and orogenic shear zone deposits hosted within the batholith. Mineralization includes disseminated low-grade precious metal mineralization in associated stockwork veins, hydraulic breccias and extensive widespread alteration; high-grade gold associated with discreet structurally controlled quartz veins and silicified zones.The Baner/Sally Project is in the central Idaho Gold Belt, 8 km south of the of Elk City, Idaho. The Elk City is an historic gold mining region dating back to the 1860s and once supported more than 20 underground mines and extensive placer operations.  During the 1930’s there were three cyanide gold mills along Crooked River processing open pit and underground sulfide ore.  Exploration in the district during the 1980’s and 1990’s included Cypress-Amax, Kinross Gold, and Bema Gold primarily focused on near-surface bulk-tonnage gold potential.  Premium Exploration conducted extensive drilling, soil sampling, and airborne and surface geophysics in the 2010 era.  Currently a Finnish gold producer, Endomines is developing the Friday project at Orogrande into an underground gold operation and is constructing a gold processing mill.“Jonathan Buick”Jonathan Buick, President and CEOFor further information, please visit the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com or the Company’s corporate website at www.idahochamp.com.For further information please contact:
