Highlights:
· 2,000-metre drilling programme commenced at Pitombeiras
· Programme is designed to upgrade the confidence of the current resource base as well as to expand its overall size
o Building on the current initial resource estimate of 5.70 million tonnes ('Mt') at an average grade of 0.51% vanadium pentoxide ('V2O5'), 10.09% titanium dioxide ('TiO2') and 50.42% of ferric oxide ('Fe2O3') for a contained resource of 28,990 tonnes V2O5
o Objective is to delineate a further approximate 10Mt
· Programme is fully funded from available resources
Brian McMaster, Executive Chairman of Jangada, said: "We are pleased to have restarted our 2020 drilling campaign. This additional 2,000 metres of diamond drilling will further substantiate our mineral resource footprint within our three priority targets, building upon the strong initial resource we have already defined from drilling to-date. The programme is focused on step-out drilling aimed at delineating the ore body extensions for resource increase and upgrade of current inferred categories. While drilling is ongoing, results will be released as they become available and we continue to advance on the other key aspects of the Pitombeiras Project development, including an updated logistics' study, metallurgy work, and refining our planned processing route."
