Developing High-Quality Jade Assets in North America

Press Releases

Overview

Jade Leader Corp. (TSXV:JADE) is a mineral exploration company focused on the acquisition and exploration of early-stage jade projects in North America. Jade Leader has six projects located in Washington and Wyoming, US. as well as one jade project in British Columbia, Canada.

Jade is one of the toughest minerals in the world and holds a place of the utmost significance and importance in Chinese culture, arguably beyond that of any other gemstone or precious metal. In recent years, the market has seen a resurgence of jade sales due to the middle class’ rising numbers, economic power and interest in owning the Stone of Heaven.

There are two types of jade: nephrite and jadeite. Both are used in a variety of applications, such as statues, jewelry, vases and other works of art due to its durability and the stunning array of colors that the mineral stone can be found in. However, pinning a price on jade can be difficult as each piece is unique. Factors such as color, translucency, size and workability play a part in determining an individual pieces’ value.

Jade Leader’s flagship DJ project is located in Washington state, US. Exploration conducted on the property in 2017, outlined extensive jade-bearing zones at Lode 1 and Lode 2. Lode 1 has a strike length of over 170 meters and remains open in all directions and Lode 2 has two exposed sections occurring over a strike length of approximately 50 meters. Both targets have been drill tested to depths of up to 30 meters vertically below the surface and widespread jade intersections have been observed. The DJ project is the only drill-tested, confirmed jade asset held by a public company anywhere in the world today. With numerous nephrite jade intercepts to vertical depths of up to 30 meters and jade bearing systems remaining open in all directions, the DJ project is currently the most advanced of its strong portfolio of jade assets.

Finally, Jade Leader’s Keithly Mountain property is located in the Cariboo goldfields, British Columbia. The Cariboo goldfields are typically prospective for gold, copper and nickel, but occurrences of jade have been noted in the area. Jade Leader has identified jade mineralization on the property.
