[{"type":"text","content":"Jade Leader Harvests Over 5.7 Tonnes (12,500 Pounds) of Jade Samples in Trenching of T1 Target, WyomingCALGARY, AB / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2019 / Jade Leader Corp. (TSXV:JADE) (\"Jade Leader\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing trenching and sampling program on its Wyoming properties, especially with regards to progress on its T-1 target where previously recognized Jade zones are being trenched (See News Releases of August 20, 2019 (NR 19-05) and June 12, 2019 (NR 19-03).Two productive trenches are currently being completed and sampled, located approximately 600 feet (180 meters) apart along a well-defined, roughly N-S trend of nephrite Jade outcrops, subcrop and float. Representative samples from each trench will be tested in the field to ascertain overall quality, color range, texture and workability in the coming weeks. Trenching completed at the T1 target has consisted of 507 linear feet (155 meters) of the 2,128 feet (649 meters) total permitted to date.As of September 28, 2019, the northern trench (T1A) yielded 70 pieces of Jade with a range of individual weights of 50 to 1,000+ pounds totaling an estimated 7,000 to 8,000 pounds of material. Trench T1A is approximately 14 feet in width, and 5 feet at its deepest point. The southern trench (T1C), 600 feet south of T1A along a prominent airborne geophysical linear, yielded a further 56 pieces of Jade with individual estimated weights ranging from 50 to 500+ pounds with a combined estimated total weight between 5,500 to 6,000 pounds. Trench T1C is approximately 14 feet in width, and around 6 feet at its deepest point.Mr. Jean-Pierre Jutras, P.Geol, the President and a Director of Jade Leader stated: \"This program is rapidly taking the Company from the early exploratory hand sample stage to the bulk harvesting of Jade for evaluation and eventual marketing. The sheer amount of material collected to date at T1 target makes it our top priority target for this field season. Field evaluation of Jades obtained from these trenches to date include a full range of potential qualities, from basic ornamental stones, to carving and jewelry grade material. We will continue to use our successful trenching of geophysically and geologically indicated targets to the fullest in this sampling program\".Field Mobilization of the D8T caterpillar bulldozer occurre...
