Jade Leader Updates Drilling Preparation Progress and Announces Financing
Calgary, Alberta (FSCwire) - Jade Leader Corp. (TSX.V: JADE) (“Jade Leader”, or “the Company”) is pleased to announce progress towards mobilizing for the maiden drill program at its DJ Jade project, Washington State.
In anticipation of a positive response to its drilling program outline from the relevant authorities, the Company has been working to engage a contractor with portable equipment developed to operate with minimal environmental disturbance. The Company is now finalizing the contracting process with an objective to mobilize and begin its drilling program during the second to third week of October in order to utilize its current permitting window and optimum field conditions.
The program’s current outline allows for up to 2,000 meters of HQ diameter size core drilling, testing in excess of 100 meters of strike length of the nephrite bearing jade systems identified with surface work to date, as allowed by current access. Depth of testing on this maiden program is expected to be up to 50 meters vertically.
The Company also announces, subject to TSX Venture approval, a non-brokered private placement of up to 3,600,000 Units, at a price of $0.25 per Unit, for gross proceeds of $900,000. Each Unit consists of one common share and a full common share purchase warrant. Each full common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”) will entitle the holder to purchase an additional common share at a price of $0.40 per share for a period of two years following closing.
The Units are to be offered on a non-brokered basis by way of private placement to accredited investors and all securities issued under the offering will be subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of closing. A finder’s fee of 5% may be paid to eligible agents upon closing.
Proceeds of the financing are to be used for working capital and general corporate purposes as well as funding of the DJ drilling program.
Jade Leader has also granted to a consultant, under its Stock Option Plan, an option to purchase 75,000 common shares for a period of three years commencing on October 1, 2018 at an exercise price of $0.25 per share.
