NIA strongly encourages its members to begin researching the stock: Idaho Champion Gold Mines Canada Inc. (CSE: ITKO). It closed yesterday at $0.075 per share. ITKO has discovered six high-grade, near-surface gold intercepts of between 4.80 g/t and 9.02 g/t over an average width of 5.29m in its very first drilling campaign at a brand new, unexplored gold project located in a Top 10 ranked mining jurisdiction and adjacent to a major new high-grade gold mine that is about to enter production... yet it is trading at a market cap of less than USD$5 million! Adding to the insanity, ITKO owns a second past producing Idaho gold project that previously produced approximately 25,000 oz of gold per year!
