Hey john, how's things?
Thought these guys were toast. Bit of a pulse today. Probably just gold fever.
Found a couple of old PRs.
First off they're off the TSE and on the CDN now,

Caussa Options Churchill Gold Property
TORONTO, ONTARIO--Caussa Capital Corporation is pleased to announce that it has secured an option to earn a 100% interest in the Churchill gold property, Churchill Township, Ontario. The Churchill property is located in the Shining Tree area of Northern Ontario and encompasses two new gold occurrences discovered by local prospectors in 2001. Gold mineralization on the Churchill property occurs in two structures namely the H-G Zone and the Scheelite Zone.
The H-G Zone is a west trending zone lying perpendicular to the Scheelite Zone and has been traced through surface stripping and trenching over a distance of 350 metres. Six grab samples selected at various locations along the strike length of the zone have yielded assay results ranging from 2.02 grams to 39.05 grams of gold per tonne.
The Scheelite Zone is a north trending zone and has been traced by trenching over a strike length of 300 metres displaying widths of 5 to 8 metres. Selected grab samples taken from the zone have returned assays ranging from 0.07 grams to 3.29 grams of gold per tonne, with low but significant tungsten values.
Caussa is currently planning an exploration program to further evaluate these new gold occurrences. Exploration work is scheduled to commence in the spring assuming the necessary financing can be arranged.
