Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 18, 2023) - Idaho Champion (CSE: ITKO) (OTCQB: GLDRF) (FSE: 1QB1) ("Idaho Champion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce details for the Company's upcoming Annual General Meeting ("AGM") which will be held virtually on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 2:00 PM EDT.

One of the main voting items will be a proposed name change to "Champion Electric Metals", a name which would better reflect the Company's transition into battery metals that started in 2022 and is now in full force. Following the name change, the Company will unveil the new branding and logo.

President and CEO Jonathan Buick commented:

"Last year, we made a decision to shift focus to critical metals and are proud of what we have accomplished to date. Both our lithium project in Quebec and cobalt projects in Idaho show great promise. The historic data and results of the field exploration programs completed last fall will guide our follow-up spring field programs that will begin in the short term.

"As part of our new strategy, we are undertaking a marketing and branding overhaul and are transitioning to a new name that would solidify our vision of becoming a leading exploration company looking for reliable domestic supply sources of battery metals.

"We are very excited for this next chapter."

All information related to the Idaho Champion AGM will be stored on the AGM Connect website after the mail date of Friday, April 21st, 2023: https://agmconnect.com/itko2023/.
