(TSXV:JADE) (\"Jade Leader\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Andrew Shaw as an Advisor to the Company, which includes the establishment of a commissions agreement for sales of material to third parties introduced during the term of the Advisory position.Mr. Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol, the President and a director of Jade Leader, stated \"I have known Andrew since November of 2016, the first year that I competed as a Jade carver in China.
