This agreement will commit XiKai to sell 90% of raw jade material produced from Jade’s SheTai mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China. In exchange for this exclusive right, Jade Art Group is to transfer 100% ownership interest in their wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiangxi XiDa Wooden Carving Lacquerware Co., Ltd , in addition to $8.3 million in cash.

The average selling price per ton of jade in China is roughly RMB 20,000 (approximately USD $2,750), which should enable us to reach significant profit levels. We are very excited about the Company’s new focus in the jade industry, including our association with XiKai and its extensive high-quality jade reserves.”
