Jade Art Group Inc., operating through its existing operating subsidiaries in the People's Republic of China, is focusing its business-model on the jade industry with the formation of Jiangxi SheTai Jade Industrial Co., Ltd., its wholly-owned subsidiary, and its Exclusive Distribution Right Agreement with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. for the distribution of jade.

JADG News:
January 18 - Jade Art Group Announces an Exclusive Distribution Right Agreement for Jade
Jade Art Group Inc. (OTCBB: JADG), which recently announced its foray into the jade industry and has historically been a manufacturer of both hand-carved and machine-carved wood products in China, announced that Jiangxi SheTai Jade Industrial Co., Ltd. ("JST"), its wholly-owned subsidiary, signed an Exclusive Distribution Right Agreement with Wulateqianqi XiKai Mining Co., Ltd. ("XiKai") for the distribution of jade.
The agreement commits XiKai to sell 90% of the raw jade material produced from its SheTai Jade mine, located in Wulateqianqi, China, to JST for a period of 50 years. Per the agreement the production from XiKai will be no less than 40,000 tons per year, with an average cost per ton for JST not to exceed RMB 2,000 (approximately USD $275). In exchange for this exclusive right, Jade Art Group would transfer 100% ownership interest in its wholly-owned subsidiary, Jiangxi XiDa Wooden Carving Lacquerware Co., Ltd. ("JXD"), and RMB 60 million (approximately USD $8.3 million) to XiKai, subject to Jade Art Group's board and shareholder approvals.
The SheTai Jade mine's reserves are unique, in that they include some of the oldest jade ore found in China and are subsequently of the highest quality in terms of rigidity and the size of its pieces. The characteristics of this jade are equivalent to Burma's famous jade mines and therefore can be readily used for construction and building materials, as well as fine jewelry.
Lu-Shan Cheng, Mayor of Yujiang County, who attended the signing ceremony, said, "The Yujiang government looks forward to JST's involvement in the region and will provide full government support."
Hua-Cai Song, CEO of Jade Art Group, stated, "Through this Exclusive Distribution Right Agreement, Jade Art Group receives exclusive distribution rights for the jade mine with the largest reserves in China. 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."

"First, our relationship with Peptisyntha is a major step towards ensuring that we can supply commercial quantities of peptides once products are developed through our pharmaceutical program. Second, this agreement will immediately provide peptide supplies to our marketing partners for our rapidly growing consumer product segment. These partners introduced over a dozen products into the market during 2007 by which we generated our first material revenue. Current indications lead us to believe that our consumer product revenue could exceed $1 million in 2008 and could be in excess of $5 million in 2009.
