Vancouver, B.C. - Christopher James Gold Corp. (the "Company") has received assay results for 20 of 37 holes (more than 6,000 metres) now completed of a planned 10,000-metre drilling program at the Ranch Project.  Results to date confirm previous high-grade gold intersections in the Bonanza Zone, while suggesting the possibility a significant new gold resource in the nearby Mickey Zone.

Bonanza Zone Drilling

The first 29 drill holes of this year's program were designed to test the lateral and vertical continuity of the zone of high-grade mineralization previously defined at the Bonanza Zone.  The holes were drilled at between 55 and 60 degrees, on six east-west trending lines spaced 25 metres apart.  The average depth of the holes was 160 metres.

Company President Dr. E Max Baker commented: "Drilling at the Bonanza Zone has delineated vein mineralization with an aggregate strike length of several hundred metres which will contribute to the overall aggregate resource of the Ranch Project.  The Company will now commence modeling the resource at Bonanza, with independent verification by Micromine Pty Ltd.

Highlights from the first 20 drill holes from the Bonanza Zone are summarized below:

Mickey Zone Drilling

The Mickey Zone, discovered in the fall of 2006 and located midway between the Bonanza and Thesis Zones, has been tested by only two holes so far in this year's drilling.  Although assay results are not yet available, both holes intersected visually-favorable mineralization over intervals up to 12 metres, at down-hole depths of up to 170 metres (approx 120 metres vertical).  The Mickey Zone structure has been traced at surface for more than 1,000 metres, indicating that the structure has potential for a significant near-surface gold resource.  An induced polarization survey to delineate areas within the mapped structures considered most favorable for high grade mineralization is scheduled to commence in the next couple of weeks.

Company President, Dr. E Max Baker, commented; "The first two holes from the Mickey Zone intersected the same "vuggy silica" altered rock that, characteristically, has hosted the high-grade to bonanza-grade gold mineralization on the Ranch.  Based on these initial highly-encouraging results, we will focus of the bulk of our next 4,000 metres of drilling on the Mickey Zone and the nearby Thesis Zone."

Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC")  

The 2007 exploration program and interpretation of data, was conducted under the supervision of Barney Bowen, BSc. P.Geo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101.  This news release was prepared in conjunction with Max Baker, PhD, Member a member of the AusIMM and qualified person under Canadian National Instrument 43-101.

Drill core was sawn in half, with one half stored for future reference.  Sampling and assaying procedures were subject to a rigorous QA/QC program, which included insertion of standards and blanks for each batch of samples.  All samples were shipped in sealed packages to ALS in Vancouver for preparation and analyses.

Mineralized intervals reported are down-hole lengths and may not represent the true width of mineralization; grades are reported as weighted averages; and core recoveries were sufficiently high that no adjustments were applied to reported grades to compensate for core loss.

The Company has approximately $7.5 million in treasury and is well-funded to explore its large portfolio of gold projects in British Columbia, Nevada, and Mexico:

• Most notably, it has the exclusive option to acquire 100% of Guardsmen Resources Inc., a private company that owns a number of highly-prospective properties in northern British Columbia, including the Ranch and Lawyers properties.
   
• In Durango State, Mexico, the Company has set up an exploration office with three full time geologists, and is actively looking for additional projects, while it completes this year's program on the Chesapeake Gold Corp.'s Cucaracha Dorada gold project.
   
• In southern British Columbia, the Company owns 100% of the copper and gold rights to the historic Craigmont mine, in addition to 100% ownership of the Brassie Creek, Big Kidd, and Portage Lake gold properties.
   
• In Nevada, the Company has recently completed a three-hole drill program to test for Carlin-type mineralization beneath pediment cover.  Alteration with anomalous geochemical values was intersected in the carbonate rocks, samples have been submitted for petrographic analysis to determine the stratigraphy and style of alteration.
