shown by one type of the Jade ( see NR 22-04 October 3, 2022 and NR 22- 06 November 15, 2022).
The second article is a short “Gem Note” presenting the characteristics of the gemstone Rhodonite ,
which is also found at the Company’s DJ project.
“There is always a great deal of interest in the gem and jewelry world for new gem material s like
our color shifting Jade, and it is vital to get them properly analyzed, characterized and published. It
is an honor to have this work on our new Washington Jades presented to the worldwide
gemmological community in the highly respected Journal of Gemmology ” stated JP Jutras, P.Geol,
President of the Company. “These articles will bring significantly increased visibility for the
Company’s successes in discovering this unique color-shifting Jade and help provide the exposure it
so richly deserves”.

Rossman (Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences, California Institute of Technology) as
