Jangada Mines plc ('Jangada' or the 'Company')

Unaudited Interim Results for 6 Months Ended 31 December 2019

Jangada Mines plc ('Jangada' or 'the Company'), a natural resources company, is pleased to announce its unaudited Interim Results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2019.

Chairman's Statement

We began 2020 with our focus firmly on continuing to realise value at our 100% owned Pitombeiras Vanadium Project ('Pitombeiras' or 'the Project'), located in the state of Ceará, Brazil. During the period under review, we established the strong mineral potential of the asset as drilling, magnetic data and rock chip geochemistry enabled us to estimate a JORC (2012) Exploration Target of between 40Mt to 60Mt at 0.3% to 0.6% vanadium oxide (V2O5), 40% to 55% iron oxide (Fe2O3) and 8% to 10% titanium dioxide (TiO2). Our current focus is now on establishing a JORC compliant Mineral Resource estimate.

We commenced a 2,500m drill programme in January 2020 to test the three most prospective magnetic anomalies at the Pitombeiras North, Pitombeiras South and Goela targets over a 3km NE-SW structural trend. Drilling is scheduled to be completed in Q2 2020. Results received to date are very encouraging with three drill holes at Pitombeiras North all intersecting vanadium titanomagnetite ('VTM') mineralisation. These include 38.00 meters at 0.558% V2O5, 11.31% TiO2 and 38.40% Fe2O3, and 32.18 meters at 0.547%, 10.79% TiO2 and 37.22% Fe2O3, including 13.25 meters at 0.740% V2O5, 14.63% TiO2and 48.9% Fe2O3. However, as announced at 27 March 2020, given the prevailing environment and impact of COVID-19, and considering in particular the health and safety risks of keeping our team at site at these times of uncertainty, we have elected to reduce the programme to a total of approximately 1,350 metres. It is expected that this will not have a material impact on our immediate plans because, by completing the planned holes (albeit to a shallower depth) we will have tested the boundaries of the anomaly as required and we will have sufficient data to continue with a preliminary economic assessment ('PEA') and JORC resource estimate. We look forward to sharing further results from this drilling in due course.

The confirmation of VTM mineralisation is a significant achievement as VTM type deposits are the principal sources of vanadium globally. Further boosting this commercial potential, initial Davis Tube Recovery ('DTR') test work completed at Pitombeiras in September 2019 demonstrated that the mineralisation responds very well to magnetic separation with mass recovery of 59% and 62% and concentrate grades increasing to greater than 1.2% V2O5, including 95% Fe2O3. The titanium dioxide was concentrated on a non-magnetic fraction reaching grades around 33% TiO2 and the results also established that the magnetic recoveries produced a low silicon dioxide and low aluminium oxide product. This confirms that we are able to produce a product of potentially economic grades.

Of course, resource quality is not the only factor to be considered when assessing the commercial potential of an asset; the ability to access and export is critical too. In November 2019, C. Steinweg Handelsveem Latin America S.A. was commissioned to prepare an initial analysis of the most favourable logistical routes for vanadium product from Pitombeiras on the basis of an estimated production of 300kt of V2O5 concentrate in 2020, increasing to 600kt of V2O5 concentrate in 2022. The study identified three possible routes to market: two to Main Chinese Ports ('MCP') and one to Brazil-based Companhia Siderurgica de Pecém ('CSP') refinery. These were based on shipping from both the Pecém and Fortaleza seaports in Ceará state, which are within the Ceará Free Trade Zone, an industrial free trade area for exporting companies, which provides tax and exchange benefits and simplified administrative procedures that positively impact selling margins and bring additional competitive advantages to Jangada.

Total indicative costs (ground and ocean costs) to transport ore from Pitomberias to MCP using the Fortaleza seaport have been estimated at US$84.64/wet metric tonne (wmt). Using the Pecem seaport as an alternative route, the total indicative costs have been estimated at US$90.02/wmt. Total indicative costs considering CSP as a final destination have been estimated at US$36.00/wmt, which only involves ground transportation using trucks as CSP is located close to Pecém. These findings prove that the Project is well located to reach overseas markets on a competitive cost basis and will form part of a Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA'), which we are in the process of preparing.

Testament to our confidence in the growing importance of this resource and also of Pitombeiras' potential, in November 2019, we extended the Project's footprint having identified a new target, Goela, which is currently being targeted as one of our priority drill targets. Following this, in February 2020 we added an additional 864 hectares to include additional tenements known as Mocidade, which have prospective airborne magnetic anomalies similar to the Pitombeiras VTM targets. The total Project area is now 1,958 hectares.

Detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling will be undertaken at Mocidade as part of our approved multi-phase exploration programme across the full licence area. Alongside this and the current drilling, we will also undertake a ground magnetic survey, a detailed topographic survey and test soil geochemistry in order to support the definition of a JORC resource. We also intend to complete metallurgical test work on three bulk samples (200 kg/sample) in order to define the best process for ore beneficiation.

As a result of Pitombeiras' significant value potential, we took the strategic decision to firmly focus our attention and resources on its rapid development. Accordingly, we divested our interest in Pedra Branca Brasil Mineracao Ltda, the entity that holds the Pedra Branca Project in Brazil ('Pedra Branca') to TSX-V listed Valore Metals Corp. ('ValOre') whilst retaining a strategic upside exposure through a significant shareholding in ValOre. We look forward to following ValOre's exploration efforts as it continues to unlock the Project's resource potential.

Financials

ValOre purchased Pedra Branca in August 2019 for CAD$3,000,000 alongside the issue of 25,000,000 ValOre common shares to Jangada. In February 2020, the final CAD$1,000,000 of cash consideration was received together with the first tranche of 500,000 deferred consideration ValOre common shares. The Company currently holds a 24.9% interest in ValOre, with the remaining 2,500,000 ValOre common shares due to Jangada payable in six-monthly instalments of 500,000 shares each. The consideration will support the Company's working capital requirements, allowing us to substantially progress the development of Pitombeiras, including the PEA and identification of the JORC resource.

Outlook

We are now focussed on unlocking the inherent value of Pitombeiras for the benefit of all stakeholders. To this end, we have a clear development path thanks to a defined exploration programme. The ramp up of activity at Pitombeiras is undoubtedly timely given the favourable market dynamics that are placing increasing demand on clean energy materials such as vanadium. We look forward to sharing more exploration results in due course.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank shareholders for their continuing support and our team for their consistent hard work. As an active investor in the Company myself, my interests are firmly aligned with shareholders and I truly believe the growth prospects of Jangada are excellent.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE SIX MONTHSED 31 DECEMBER 2019

   1.    General Information 

The Company is a public limited company limited by shares, incorporated in England and Wales on 30 June 2015 with the registration number 09663756 and with its registered office at 20 North Audley Street, London W1K 6WE. The Company's principal activities are the exploration and development of mining assets in Brazil.

   2.    Accounting Policies 

Basis of preparation

The interim unaudited financial information for the period ended 31 December 2019 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting. The results for the period ended 31 December 2019 are unaudited.

The condensed unaudited consolidated financial information for the period ended 31 December 2019 has been prepared on a basis consistent with, and on the basis of, the accounting policies set out in the financial information in the Company's published results for the year to 30 June 2019. The unaudited interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies, presentation, methods of computation and estimation techniques expected to be adopted in the financial information by the Company in preparing its annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020.

The consolidated financial information is presented in United States Dollars ($), which is also the functional currency of the Company and Group. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand ($'000), unless otherwise stated.

Changes in accounting principles and adoption of new and revised standards

In the period ended 31 December 2019, the Directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards. The only relevant new standard that is effective for this year's financial statements is IFRS 16 "Leases", but this does not have a material impact on the financial statements.

There are no standards in issue but not yet effective which could have a material impact on the financial statements.

Going concern

As disclosed in the 30 June 2019 financial statements, there exists a material uncertainty, which may cast doubt about the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Given the proceeds from the sale of the Pedra Branca project and based on the Company's planned expenditure on the Pitombeiras vanadium deposit and the Company's working capital requirements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to meet its capital requirements for the foreseeable future. For that reason, the Directors have concluded that the financial statements should be prepared on a going concern basis.

The financial statements do not include the adjustment that would result if the Group and Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Financial assets

All of the Group's financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to collect contractual cash flows which are solely payments of principals and interest and therefore classified as subsequently measured at amortised cost.

Group's financial assets include cash and cash equivalents, Company's financial assets include cash and other receivables. The Group assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses, defined as the difference between the contractual cash flows and the cash flows that are expected to be received.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities include the other short-term monetary liabilities, which are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method.

Exploration and evaluation assets

Exploration and evaluation assets represent the costs of pre-feasibility studies, field costs, government fees and the associated support costs at the Group's Pitmobeiras project and formerly the Pedra Branca Platinum Group Metal project.

Costs incurred prior to obtaining the legal rights to explore an area are expensed immediately to the Statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income. Only material expenditures incurred after the acquisition of a license interest are capitalised. Historically, the expenditures related to exploration and evaluation have not been material, as the Company is active in areas where there are minimal and immaterial exploration and evaluation costs and therefore the costs in previous years have been expensed.

Interests in associates

Associates are those entities in which the Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial and operating policies.

The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate.

   3.    Critical accounting estimates and judgements 

The Company makes certain estimates and assumptions regarding the future. Judgements, estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. In the future, actual experience may differ from these estimates and assumptions. The judgements, estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

Judgements

As discussed in Note 2 there exists a material uncertainty which may cast significant doubt about the Group and Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Given the proceeds from the sale of the Pedra Branca project and based on the Company's planned expenditure on the Pitombeiras vanadium deposit and the Company's working capital requirements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company will have adequate resources to meet its capital requirements for the foreseeable future.

The Directors have considered the criteria of IFRS 6 regarding the impairment of exploration and evaluation assets and have decided based on this assessment that there is no basis to impair the carrying value of its exploration assets for the Pitmobeiras project (2019: $179,000, 2018: $nil) at this time.

Estimates and assumptions

In arriving at the carrying value of investments in associates, the group determines the need for impairment based on the level of geological knowledge and confidence of the mineral resources. Such decisions are taken on the basis of the exploration and research work carried out in the period utilising expert report.

The Company measures share options at fair value. For more detailed information in relation to the fair value measurement of such items, please refer to Note 13.

   4.    Segment information 

The Company evaluates segmental performance on the basis of profit or loss from operations calculated in accordance with IFRS 8. In the Directors' opinion, the Group only operates in one segment: mining services. All non-current assets have been generated in Brazil.

The Directors believe that the Group's operations are not subject to any significant seasonality.
