Champion Electric Metals Inc. announced that the Company is a recipient of a grant from Québec's Ministère des Ressources Naturelles et des Forêts (MRNF) for it 2024 field program at its Lithium Property in James Bay, Quebec. The MRNF grant of CAD 167,000 will contribute towards the metallurgical test work programme that will be conducted as part of current and ongoing exploration which will also include drilling to be carried out later in 2024. The Program developed by the MRNF is designed to help mineral exploration companies carry out development of projects aimed at the discovery of critical and strategic minerals in Québec.

The first phase of the 2024 program will include till sampling on tighter spacing, boulder prospecting, mapping, and trenching with channel sampling and metallurgical test work on sampling. The team is employing multiple techniques to explore beneath the thin glacial sediments. Once outcrop or large boulders are located, excavators are deployed to test for overburden depth and, in some cases, clear the overburden for channel sampling of pegmatites.

For continued updates on the 2024 program, Champion Electric invites shareholders, potential investors, and stakeholders to follow the Company's social media pages for ongoing photo updates of the spring field program. The Champion Electric Lithium Property is close to the Trans-Taiga Road and covers the northern extension of the Lac Guyer Greenstone Belt, which hosts neighbouring Patriot Battery Metals' Corvette and Winsome Resources' Cancet advanced projects in the prolific James Bay region of Quebec.
