JJ:
I don't know much about this outfit however it did catch my attention. I plan to do some snooping to see what, who, why, when etc.

Initial Bid Kidd Drilling Program Returns Favourable Gold and Copper Results
VANCOUVER, Jan. 19 /CNW/ - Christopher James Gold Corp. (VSE - CJG)
Christopher James Gold Corp. completed ten diamond drill holes during its October - November 1997 Big Kidd gold-copper alkalic porphyry drill program. The program began with holes BK 97-01, 02 and 03 being drilled on exploratory targets northeast and east of the Big Kidd breccia. Drill hole numbers BK 97-04, 05, 06 and 07 were drilled on exploration targets located on the Big Kidd breccia. A further three holes (BK 97-08, 09 and 10) were drilled on the Big Sioux Zone, 1000 metres north of the Big Kidd.
The company's project consultants have compiled exploration data for the first four holes, three from the exploration targets northeast and east of the Big Kidd breccia and one from the Big Kidd breccia itself. The following numbers present the more important gold-copper intersections from these four holes. The results from holes BK 97-01 and 04 in particular show encouraging gold grades and widths. Hole BK 97-04 returned five gold values in the 1 to 2 g/t range and one at
5.92 g/t (average 5 checks). All results have been checked internally by both Eco-Tech Laboratories of Kamloops and Chemex Laboratories of Vancouver.
Holes BK-01, 02 and 03 tested new areas on an IP chargeability anomaly not previously tested by the 1992 Placer Dome drilling. Hole BK 97-01 encountered a favourable gold geological environment with the lower portion of the hole averaging 0.32 g/t gold over 35.9 metres. Previous
sampling in 1997 from an old trench above this intersection returned gold values up to 2.67 g/t and 1.52% copper from narrow panel samples. In holes BK 97-02 and 03, intervals 2.5 to 4.5 metres long returned interesting copper and gold values.
Hole BK-04 tested beneath Placer Dome trench 92-2 in the northern part of the Big Kidd breccia pipe. This trench averaged 0.56 g/t gold and 0.112% copper over 32.5 metres. The lower zone 100 to 140 metres vertically below the trench included 59.56 metres of potassic altered breccia averaging 0.93 g/t gold and 0.18% copper (185.75 to 245.31 m). Within this interval an 18 metre long section averaged 1.97 g/t gold and 0.28% copper (227.31 to 245.31 m). Previous drilling by Placer Dome (DDH 92-1) in this general area was from the opposite direction and 30 degrees off section. It returned 71 metres averaging 0.75 g/t gold and 0.2% copper from similar vertical depth.

Christopher James Gold Corp.'s project consultants are excited about the gold potential of this property, which potential was not identified during pre 1990 copper exploration programs. Results
from the other 1997 holes drilled in the Big Kidd area will be released shortly including a twin (BK 97-05) to Placer Dome's DDH 92-1. The company now is preparing for further drill exploration
on the Big Kidd breccia.
The company's drill core and exploration data from the 1997 Big Kidd property program will be on display at the core shack during the Cordilleran Roundup in Vancouver on January 30th, 1998.
Drill hole and property location maps are available upon request.
(x) Note: geochemical ppb gold values have been converted to g/t and ICP ppm copper to % Cu.
