Idaho Champion Gold Bolsters Technical Team with

Appointment of New Chief Geologist

Toronto, ON – March 24, 2021 - Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE: ITKO;

OTCQB: GLDRF; FSE: 1QB1)(“Idaho Champion” or the "Company") is pleased to announce

that Robert Kell has been appointed Chief Geologist of the Company. Among his other duties,

he will be directing exploration at the Company’s 100% controlled Champagne Gold Project

(“Champagne”) in Idaho.

Mr. Robert Kell has over 41 years of experience as a geologist, focused in North and South

America, in exploration for base and precious metals deposits. Mr. Kell has worked in many

capacities, ranging from field geologist to management roles in which he directed both large

drilling programs and generative exploration programs. For 17 years, Robert worked as a senior

geologist and vice president of exploration for South American Mining and Exploration Corp.

(SAMEX Mining). His experience includes other companies such as Arbor-Wealth, BHP

Minerals, Homestake Exploration, Newmont Mining, and Anaconda Minerals Company.

Mr. Kell is a practical and field-oriented geologist who is intimately knowledgeable about the

geology of Idaho. He is considered to be an expert on epithermal gold and silver deposits.

Robert will oversee exploration programs at both Baner and Champagne with specific focus on

Champagne.

“Upon commencement of our 2020 Champagne exploration program, Robert joined the

exploration team at Champagne as a consulting geologist. We quickly realized that Robert’s

leadership of the team and contributions to the geological model at Champagne warranted a

permanent role. We welcome Robert to the team as we continue to uncover what Champagne

has to offer,” stated President and CEO, Jonathan Buick.

The new Chief Geologist, Robert Kell, commented: “During the Company’s maiden exploration

season at Champagne, it became clear from the drill bit and through the IP survey results that

Champagne was hiding what I believe is a major deposit. The massive IP anomaly to the west

of the historic past producing open pits is the ‘heart’ of the mineralizing system and is perfectly

intact beneath the detachment fault. It is a pleasure to be able to work with the Champion team

to test these exciting targets. I am looking forward to the 2021 exploration season.”

The Company also announces that it has granted incentive stock options to purchase 1,950,000

shares of the Company at an exercise price of $0.20 per share for a period of five years to certain

directors and consultants in accordance with the provisions of its stock option plan.
