June 26, 2007 Vancouver, B.C. - Christopher James Gold Corp. (CJG: TSX.V, the "Company") has commenced first-phase drilling at the Garcia Flats gold project, located at the southern extension of the Carlin Trend, in north-central Nevada.  The Company has the option to acquire up to 70% of the Garcia Flats project from Harvest Gold Corp. (TSXV-HGV, "Harvest").

Company President, Dr. E. Max Baker, commented: "The Garcia Flats gold project is the type of highly-prospective, drill-ready project in a mining-friendly district that we are keen to get involved in and that we have the ability to explore expeditiously.  The project is supported by good exploration data, which has identified three large geochemical anomalies that display characteristics similar in both direction and extent to existing ore trends found in major Carlin-style, gold-bearing systems.  We are excited by the potential of the property to host another multi-million ounce Carlin-style deposit."

Details of the Drilling Program
The Company has contracted Lang Exploration Drilling to conduct this first-phase drill program.  A flooded reverse circulation drill rig will be used to complete up to six holes, totaling up to 2,000 metres (6,400 feet).  Initial drill testing of the Garcia Flats property will focus on locating evidence of mineralization in the units underlying the pediment cover.  Three sizeable target zones have been developed with dimensions ranging up to 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) in width and 3,500 metres (11,480 feet) in length, comparable in size to the larger Carlin-style gold systems in Nevada.

The drill holes will test the Eastern and Central anomalies to a maximum depth of approximately 650 metres (2,000 feet).  The Eastern anomaly is approximately 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) wide and at least 3,500 metres (11,480 feet) long. The Central anomaly is 600 metres (1,968 feet) wide and at least 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) long. These anomalous zones are adjacent to an interpreted buried intrusion in the southern portion of the claim block and have been defined by a combination of enzyme-leach soil geochemistry, gravity, and magnetic data.

The Garcia Flats project comprises 250 unpatented mining claims covering approximately 20 sq. km. (approximately 5,000 acres) in two claim blocks within a covered pediment setting.  Permitting for this drill program has been completed and the program has received approval from the Bureau of Land Management.

Christopher James Gold has the option to earn an undivided 70% interest in the property by expending a total of $2,500,000 on exploration and issuing a total of 225,000 shares to Harvest over three years, including expenditures of at least $500,000 in the first year.  Harvest is the operator of the project.
