continued support of mineral exploration companies developing domestic supply of critical metals.

with our 2024 exploration plans."
About the 2024 Field Program
The first phase of the 2024 program will include till sampling on tighter spacing, boulder prospecting,
mapping, and trenching with channel sampling and metallurgical test work on sampling. The team is
employing multiple techniques to explore beneath the thin glacial sediments. Once outcrop or large
boulders are located, excavators are deployed to test for overburden depth and, in some cases, clear
the overburden for channel sampling of pegmatites.
For continued updates on the 2024 program, Champion Electric invites shareholders, potential
investors, and stakeholders to follow the Company's social media pages for ongoing photo updates of
