JADE LEADER ENTERS HISTORIC WYOMING JADE FIELDS
Calgary-Alberta, Jade Leader Corp. is pleased to announce that it has entered the historical jade fields of Wyoming
through the acquisition by staking of more than 50 Mineral Lode Claims covering in excess of 1,035 acres (419
hectares). The claims cover 4 distinct contiguous blocks in areas where field work found geology favorable for jade
formation. This includes abundant nephrite jade float, subcrop and in -situ jade occurrences as well as many numerous
small-scale historical produc tion pits. All of the new ground is on public lands administered by the Bureau of Land
Management. None of th is historically productive jade-bearing area has been previously evaluated using modern day
jade-genesis concepts or exploration technologies.
In addition to staking, the Company has entered into a n Option Agreement to acquire a 100% interest in an existing
Lode Claim (20. 7 acres/9 has ) with extensive nephrite jade exposed in hand dug pit s and small trenches. The
Agreement allows the Company to buy a 100% interest in the claim, subject to certain royalties, over a period of 2
years. The first year’s Option payment has been made to the vendor. This claim has also never been evaluated using
today’s understanding of jade genesis.
“As one of the first public Companies to appreciate the scale of the Nephrite Jade market in Asia following China’s
return to its traditional appetite for this most desirable stone, we are putting our first-mover advantage and in -house
expertise to assemble the most prospective jade land position in North America,” stated J.P. Jutras, P.Geol, Jade Leader
President and C EO. “These latest acquisitions , on which we have already identified or confirmed nephrite Jade
occurrences in widespread outcrop s give the Company an extensive portfolio of jade exploration opportunities in
multiple jurisdictions for on-going evaluation.”
These acquisitions are the outcome of over a year of background research and 4 weeks of field work including
prospecting, mapping a nd mechanized sampling completed in June . Geologists collected s ome 62 samples of various
jade types, colors and textures as well as their associated host rocks , which are currently being evaluated to confirm
mineralogy, texture, translucency and general workability as ornamental, carving or gem material.
As the Company advances permitting of the DJ project in Washington for drilling, it will simultaneously advance these
newly acquired Wyoming properties through continued laboratory testing, analysis and field exploration work.
The Company has also recently received notices of exercise or intent to exercise 550,000 of its 3 .8 million outstanding
warrants at $0.10. Outstanding share capital at this time stands at 33.177 million shares.
Mr. Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol., President of the Company, is the Qualified Person for the Company’s Jade projects as
defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release.
