[{"type":"text","content":"Jade Leader Completes Airborne Survey, Increases Land Holdings and Identifies 5 Priority Targets in Wyoming Jade FieldsCALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / June 12, 2019 / Jade Leader Corp. (TSX.V: JADE) (\"Jade Leader\", or \"the Company\") is pleased to report on its continued progress at its Wyoming Jade Fields property, where a recently completed field program has identified 5 priority targets on which application with the relevant authorities will be filed for a phase of mechanized trenching and sampling to be conducted as soon as permits are in place.To advance its comprehensive evaluation of the district potential of the historic Wyoming Jade fields, the Company flew a high resolution, helicopter borne magnetics and radiometric geophysical survey over an area of approximately 48 square kilometers. The survey covered the Company's existing properties, and additional areas of newly recognized alterations and geology considered to be favorable for Jade formation.A three week field program was conducted to review the airborne geophysical data, conduct additional prospecting and outline the first mechanized trenching targets for further follow up.The field program resulted in additional nephrite Jade discoveries at surface and led the Company to stake an additional 25 lode claims (209 hectares/516.5 acres), increasing the size of its current 4 claim blocks, and adding an entirely new block of claims to cover a new target, bringing in the Company's land package to 91 fully owned claims as well as one optioned claim.Mr Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol, the President and a Director of Jade Leader stated: \"Being the first group with such a strong mineral industry background to evaluate this historical district comprehensively with modern technologies has allowed us to have a strong advantage in staking the large alteration systems within which Jade has historically been found. While there remains many further areas to expand on within the current portfolio of properties, 5 very strong targets have now been defined with sufficient confidence to move forward to mechanized trenching to test and expose the systems where Jade has historically, and continues to be been found, to begin determining system dimensions, geometries and overall stone quality distribution. Given the long history of the area in producing some of the most highly prized nephrite...
