Arizona Tribune - Jade Leader Updates on Upcoming Public Speaking Event and Summer Field Program

In addition, the Company is pleased to announces that it's president, Mr. Jean-Pierre Jutras, B.Sc Hons geology, P.Geol has been invited as a guest speaker on nephrite Jade at the 2025 AGA Gemological Conference held during the Tucson Gem show in Tucson, Arizona this coming February. The AGA (Accredited Gemologists Association) is a top tier gemological association promoting education, research and new developments in the world of gems and gemology with a worldwide membership base.

"In addition to further field success in outlining district scale gem production potential at our 100% owned Jade properties, our investment in being leaders in research and publication of cutting edge nephrite Jade research at the highest academic levels is now leading to recognition by the gemological world which is hungry to learn about new gem discoveries and further understanding of gem formation," stated JP Jutras, President of the Company. "We continue to be encouraged with accretive success in the field, supporting the potential to become a new, ethical and long-time source of gem materials for the industry and the fact that our advocacy is now leading to opportunities to present our findings and materials with groups such as the AGA in Tucson, which continues to be recognized as the largest annual gem trade show on earth."

2024 Field Program Jades Update

The Company has confirmed that very fine grained to cryptocrystalline primary hydrothermal Jades, ranging in color from deep dark/green to black and ranging up to medium greens have been recovered in-situ at both the Toad property, located some 5 kilometers from where these primary jades were first identified at the Sky Zone, as well as on the Scorpion property, 6 kilometers away from the original Sky Zone. Banded Jade material, mixing colors such as dark olive to black and white to beige material was also discovered at both sites. A suite of the new jades being evaluated are outlined in Figure 1.

Additional materials recovered from the original Sky Zone, some 3 and 8 meters from the previous pilot scale sampling program in 2021, have shown that deep dark green/black Jades are also present at the Sky Zone in addition to the medium olive green Jade materials previously reported.

The surface area of the jade bearing formation tested at Toad in August 2024 outcrops at surface over some 140 meters of strike length by an average width of 20-40 meters for a total exposed surface area of approximately 1 acre. A second similar jade bearing alteration zone is present on the Toad property to the north, and remains open for future testing. The Scorpion systems require further field mapping to determine their extent.

Given the new data collected in 2024, the Company has prioritized the Toad property as a first order target to conduct a pilot scale production test in 2025, subject to permitting and funding requirements being met for the program.
