Champion Minerals Expands Its Iron Property Holdings in Labrador and Quebec;
Appoints Exploration Management Team
Toronto (Canada), March 24, 2008 - CHAMPION MINERALS INC. ("Champion" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CHM) is pleased to announce that it has expanded its property holdings adjacent to its wholly-owned Attikamagen Lake Iron Property ("Attikamagen") which is located in Labrador, near Schefferville, Quebec. With the staking of the Lake Attikamagen Extension Claim Block, which consists of 451 claims contiguous to and partially surrounding the 52 claim Attikamagen, Champion's Labrador property holdings have increased to 503 claims comprising 126 km2. On the Quebec side of the Labrador/Quebec border, adjacent to the northern portion of the Attikamagen Extension Claim Block, the Company staked an additional 29 claims, the Lac Sans Chef Quebec Claim Block, comprising 13.7 km2. Collectively, the Attikamagen, Attikamagen Extension Claim Block and Lac Sans Chef Quebec Claim Block cover 139.7 km2 and will be referred to as the Attikamagen Property.
Champion's recently completed airborne geophysics and surface sampling campaign at Attikamagen, in combination with a detailed review of the assessment work in the area led to the decision to stake the properties containing favourable iron formations. Little historical work has been performed on the newly acquired properties, but previous mapping by Hollinger North Shore Exploration Company in 1959 outlined taconitic iron formation and also enriched iron formations in outcrop, the direct shipping ore type that was previously mined in the Schefferville camp during its production era.
Champion is planning to perform detailed surface work and drilling along these favourable horizons, combined with mini-bulk sampling in order to quantify the higher quality iron mineralization at the Attikamagen Property.
Champion is also pleased to announce new appointments to its exploration management team. Mr. Martin Bourgoin, P. Geo. has been appointed Executive Vice President, Operations, Mr. Alexander Horvath, P. Eng, a director of Champion since September 2007, has been appointed Executive Vice President, Exploration, and Mr. Jeff Hussey, P. Geo. has been appointed as Vice President, Exploration. Champion President and CEO, Thomas Larsen, stated, "On behalf of the board of directors and management at Champion, I would like to welcome our new team members and look forward to their contributions in mineral exploration and strategic planning as Champion moves forward with its promising mineral property portfolio." |
