Additional High-Grade Drilling Results from Pitombeiras North Target

Jangada Mines plc ('Jangada' or 'the Company'), a natural resources company, is pleased to announce additional high-grade assay results from its diamond drilling ('DD') programme at its Pitombeiras Vanadium Project ('Pitombeiras' or 'the Project') in Brazil. The programme has evaluated the structural corridor associated with the known vanadium titanomagnetite ('VTM') mineralisation, which includes the Pitombeiras North and Pitombeiras South anomalies and the newly discovered Goela VTM targets.

Highlights:

· Highest vanadium pentoxide ('V2O5') grade intercept received to date at 0.81%

· Both drilling results also represent the best results to date on a grade and width basis

· Results received include:

o 35.25 metres at 0.70% V2O5, 13.22% titanium dioxide ('TiO2') and 64.74% ferric oxide ('Fe2O3'), including 7.00 metres at 0.81% V2O5, 15.29% TiO2 and 72.69% Fe2O3 on drillhole DD20PI19

o 38.00 metres at 0.64% V2O5, 12.51% TiO2 and 61.42% Fe2O3, including 14.00 metres at 0.75% V2O5, 14.46% TiO2 and 70.97% Fe2O3 on drillhole DD20PI20

Brian McMaster, Chairman of Jangada, said: "The Pitombeiras North resource drilling programme continues to reassure the consistency of the grades, widths and continuity within the 50m by 100m drilling grid whilst surprising us with these new highest grades intercepts, which increase the average grade of the programme to date to 0.535% V2O5 over an average of 31.34 metres in apparent thickness. There remain seven mineralised holes to be returned from the SGS-Geosol laboratory, six of them from the Goela target are expected in the coming weeks. We look forward to sharing these in due course and then determining an initial JORC resource estimate and continuing with a preliminary economic assessment."

Further Information:

A total of 19 DD holes have been completed in 2020 for a total of 1.360.80 metres, including 1,058.85 metres at the Pitombeiras North target and 301.95 metres at the Goela target. 16 from a total of 19 drillholes intersected VTM mineralisation.

Assay results have been received for 9 (nine) DD holes, including newly received Hole DD20PI19, which intersected 35.25 metres at 0.70% V2O5, 13.22% TiO2 and 64.74% Fe2O3, including 7.00 metres at 0.81% V2O5, 15.29% TiO2 and 72.69% Fe2O3, and Hole DD20PI20, which intersected 38.00 metres at 0.64% V2O5, 12.51% TiO2 and 61.42% Fe2O3, including 14.00 metres at 0.75% V2O5, 14.46% TiO2 and 70.97% Fe2O3.

Upon receipt of assay results for the remaining seven drillholes, six of them from the Goela Target, the Company will have sufficient data (20 VTM mineralised holes, including 2019 and 2020 drilling) to determine initial mineral resources and continue with a preliminary economic assessment ('PEA') and JORC resource estimate. These activities are to be funded from existing cash resources. Currently, the Company has 182 drill samples (including QA/QC samples) under analysis on the SGS-Geosol laboratory.

The concluded 2020 drilling programme is a follow-on from the five drill holes campaign executed in 2019. With the addition of the recently received Holes DD20PI19 and DD20PI20, the intersected weighted average grades and apparent widths for all 13 mineralised holes stands at 0.535% V2O5, 10.58% TiO2 and 56.19% Fe2O3 as set out on Table 1 and Figure 1.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

All drill samples have been prepared and analysed by SGS-Geosol Laboratórios Ltda ('SGS-Geosol') based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. SGS-Geosol is ISO14001:2004 and ISO 9001:2008 accredited and is independent of Jangada. The samples were analysed by fusion with lithium tetraborate-XRF for Al2O3, CaO, Co, Fe2O3, K2O, MgO, MnO, Na2O, P2O5, SiO2, TiO2, V2O5 and retained moisture (LOI) by multi-temperature.

QA/QC procedures include the submission by Jangada of systematic duplicates, blanks and standard samples within every sample batch submitted to SGS. In addition, SGS-Geosol inserts its own standards, blanks and duplicate samples. The results from these control samples indicate acceptable consistency of analysis.
