CALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / July 11, 2024 / Jade Leader Corp. (TSXV:JADE) ("Jade Leader" or "the Company") announces that its most recent scientific article outlining results from continuing research and investigation of its 100% owned Wyoming Jade (USA) properties, published in the March, 2024 issue of The Journal Of Gemmology, is now publicly accessible online here. The Company thanks the British Gemmological Association (Gem-A), publisher of this important international scientific journal for permission to distribute the link.
"Nephrite Jade from the Sky Zone, USA: Characteristics and Primary Hydrothermal Origin." is one of the issue's main feature articles, outlining results of in-depth technical studies on the genesis of Jade Leader's Wyoming Jades. High-level, scientific articles like this bring technical details of these new gemstones to the attention of the international gemstone market and substantially increase our Jade's visibility in the rapidly diminishing Jade supply chain. They also lay out the characteristics and testing parameters for third parties to properly test and evaluate our jades. Importantly, the special geological relationships documented regarding formation of Sky Jade significantly enhance exploration for new jade targets across all of Jade Leader's Wyoming properties.
"As the trend towards ethically sourced colored gems continues and synthetics drive the gem world away from diamonds, articles like this give the gem industry the technical information they need to appreciate the near and long-term market potential for these new American Jades," stated JP Jutras, P.Geol, President of the Company. "Jade supplies are dwindling worldwide and we are revolutionizing understanding of the previously undocumented geological processes behind Wyoming nephrite Jade formation. Articles like this significantly increase the visibility of our products and expertise and it is an honor to share it with the worldwide gemmological community through the highly respected Journal of Gemmology."
Company President JP Jutras prepared the 18 page feature article in collaboration with independent geologist Lanny Ream and Bear and Cara Williams of independent Stone Group Labs, both Fellows of the Gemmological Association of Great Britain (FGA). The article is based largely on characterization work performed on our Wyoming Jades at University of Alberta's Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Department electron microprobe laboratory with the assistance of Dr. Andrew Locock. The article was independently peer reviewed by gem experts, as is standard for feature articles in The Journal of Gemmology.
