4300 Hectares
100% Ownership
The Worldstock and Portage Lake Properties are located in the Kamloops Mining Division approximately 22 KM northwest of Little Fort in southwestern British Columbia. Christopher James Gold Corporation acquired an 100% interest in the 174 claims covering approximately 4,350 hectares. The Company has incurred exploration expenditures in excess of $ 300,000 and has identified two principal targets known as the Portage Lake Project and the Worldstock Porphyry Project.
The Portage Lake Project has the potential for volcanic (Nicola Group) hosted massive sulphide zones. Subsequent drilling revealed several zones with copper-silver mineralization. Having analysed the results of the 2001 exploration program, it is clear that exploration of the Portage Lake copper-silver (gold) trend is still at an early stage. There is plenty of room along strike and to depth for larger high-grade zones at structural intersections and blow-outs.
The second identified target, known as the Worldstock Porphyry Project consists of significant copper mineralization in a porphyry environment. 2001 drilling tested only a small area of this large anomaly at shallow depth. It was determined that the Worldstock Porphyry was the first high-level, zoned, porphyry target to be recognized in the Little Fort section of the Nicola Belt (which hosts many of the past and present porphyry CU, CU-AU and CU-MO producers in BC). There exists good potential for higher grade and intrusive centred bulk tonnage copper-silver (+AU and/or MO) zones at depth and along the northwest trend.
Exploration Program
Early in 2004, a further prospecting program was undertaken focusing upon structural veins revealed during a road cut in the Portage Lake area. Further vein systems in a skarn setting were identified and rock samples taken. Assaying of some of these samples has revealed significant massive sulphide mineralization.
