Idaho Champion (CSE:ITKO, OTCQB:GLDRF) announced that it has begun a work program on its two 100%-owned lithium pegmatite projects in Quebec’s James Bay district.
The discovery-focused exploration company said the work program will begin with high-resolution magnetic, VLF-electromagnetic, radiometric and LiDAR/imagery surveys covering about 2,188 line-kilometres.
“The airborne survey that is currently underway will help us assess the geology and setting from a district-scale perspective, while our team on the ground is focused on following up on showings reported from historic work,” Idaho Champion (CSE:ITKO, OTCQB:GLDRF) CEO Jonathan Buick said in a statement.

“Our ‘micro-macro’ approach should provide considerable guidance for the direction of our 2023 program,” Buick added.
Idaho Champion noted the data sets will provide it with geophysical and topographic information that will be useful in advancing the regional structural interpretation and analysis of the prospective lithium pegmatite projects.
The company added that it has also engaged and mobilized a Quebec-based consulting geology team to advance prospecting, geological mapping, and sampling programs aimed at prioritizing targets for a second phase of field work in 2023.
Idaho Champion’s Quebec lithium properties consist of the Blanche and Charles projects.
