New Tenements granted at Pitombeiras Vanadium Project

Jangada Mines plc ("Jangada" or "the Company"), a natural resources company, is pleased to announce that it has been granted by the Agência Nacional de Mineração (the agency which has replaced the DNPM) additional tenements alongside its 100% owned Pitombeiras Vanadium Project ("Pitombeiras"), located in the state of Ceará, Brazil.

Highlights:

-- Additional tenements, known as Mocidade, add 864 hectares to the total exploration area which is now 1,958 hectares

   --    Tenements acquired through direct application and consequently negligible cost 

-- New tenements include prospective airborne magnetic anomalies with signatures similar to the Pitombeiras' VTM targets

-- Detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling included in our current exploration programme

Brian McMaster, Chairman of Jangada, said: "Based on the work from our current exploration programme, and our increased knowledge of the project, we have identified suspected trends in the geology. The addition of the Mocidade property is part of this increased geological knowledge and we believe offers Jangada an exciting additional line of exploration enquiry. Initially, we will conduct detailed geological mapping and rock chip sampling, the results of which will be announced in Q2 2020."

Further Information:

Jangada has expanded its footprint area at its Pitombeiras Vanadium Project by adding, through direct staking, the Mocidade property, located approximately 3 km north of the main Pitombeiras' targets (Figure 1).

The Mocidade property has a total area of 864 hectares and contains several airborne magnetic anomalies with signatures similar to the Pitombeiras' VTM targets. Jangada has selected 6 magnetic targets to undertake a field reconnaissance, which will initially include geological mapping and rock chip sampling and followed by a detailed ground magnetic survey if initial results are deemed positive (Figure 2).
