(TSX VENTURE: ELT) (A14NCM.F) (the "Company" or "Electra") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement with D.Javorsky Prospecting Inc.

The Polar Placer Jade Project is situated approximately 40 km east of the Town of Dease Lake, British Columbia, along the Boulder Creek Mining trail and approximately 1 km north of the Polar Jade(TM) Mine, one of Canada's premier Jade mining operations. "The famous gem-grade discovery at the Polar Mine secured Canadian Jade's fame as a world class gemstone producer." (Industrial Minerals with emphasis on Western North America, 2004)


Geology

The region is underlain by upper Mississippian to Permian ultramafic rocks of the Cache Creek Complex. These rocks consist of peridotite, dunite and pyroxenite which are generally serpentinized. The rocks locally include pods of nephrite jade. (BC Government Minfile 104I 083)


Jade Market

Sales price and volume of B.C. Nephrite Jade has reportedly increased significantly over the past several years according to private producers. Increased interest in Nephrite Jade in South-East Asian countries, specifically China is the primary reason for the rise in demand.

John Costigan President of ELT stated that "The Polar Jade acquisition continues to enhance our Jade strategy by acquiring gem-quality opportunities within the jade space. In addition, we believe that the substantial deposits and the toughness and beauty of even non-gem grade BC Nephrite Jade is ideally suited as a new entry into the dimensional stone business."
