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

Initial Drilling Results from the Follow-on 2,000-metre Step-out Drilling Campaign at

Pitombeiras Vanadium Project

Jangada Mines plc, a natural resources company, is pleased to announce the initial results of the second phase of its 2020 drilling programme at its 100% owned Pitombeiras Vanadium Project ('Pitombeiras Project' or the 'Project'), located in Ceará State, Brazil. The 2,000-metre diamond drilling ('DD') programme, which commenced in October 2020, is continuing to evaluate the structural corridor associated with the known vanadium titanomagnetite ('VTM') mineralisation, including the Pitombeiras North, Pitombeiras South and Goela anomalies.

Highlights:

· Six of seven drill holes completed to date for a total of 468.45 linear metres intersected VTM mineralisation

· Assay results from SGS-Geosol labs have been received for three holes with intercepts including:

o 36.03 metres at 0.56% vanadium pentoxide ('V2O5'), 10.64% titanium dioxide ('TiO2') and 54.39% ferric oxide ('Fe2O3')

o 14.60 metres at 0.62% V2O5, 11.99% TiO2 and 59.36% Fe2O3, including 7.00 metres at 0.71% V2O5, 13.71% TiO2 and 67.59% Fe2O3

· Drilling to date is illustrating that the mineralised zone is extending to the north, north-east and remains open along strike

· Programme is designed to upgrade the confidence of the current resource base of 5.70Mt at an average grade of 0.51% V2O5 as well as to expand its overall size

Brian McMaster, Executive Chairman of Jangada, said: "We are very pleased that the initial step-out drill results confirm our thesis that the Pitombeiras North's orebody footprint extends further north from the existing resource area; this reinforces our conviction that Pitombeiras North holds a larger resource. The results reported indicate that the VTM mineralisation extends on a N-NE direction and is open along the strike. Our fully funded programme continues at site as planned and we are awaiting additional results in due course."

Further Information:

Jangada started a new 2,000-metre drilling programme in October 2020 and seven drillholes have been completed for a total of 468.45 linear metres. All the drillholes concluded are located on the Pitombeiras North target with the main objective to expand the mineral resource. Currently, the Pitombeiras North target has an Indicated Resource of 705,508 tonnes grading 0.62% V2O5 and an Inferred Resource of 1.68 Mt grading 0.60% V2O5 on a high-grade domain with an additional Mineral Resource (Indicated + Inferred) of 2.61 Mt grading 0.40% V2O5 on a low-grade domain.

Recently, the Company received the assay results from the first three drillholes, DD20PI30, DD20PI31 and DD20PI32, which all intersected VTM mineralisation, mostly associated with an amphibole-bearing massive magnetitite unit (Photo 1) hosted on a metamafic volcanic sequence.

The widest mineralised interval was 36.03 metres on drillhole DD20PI32 and the highest average grade was 0.62% V2O5 on drillhole DD20PI30. Both drillholes (DD20PI30 and DD20PI32) also reported internal high-grade intersections expressed by 7.00 metres grading 0.71% V2O5 and 10.00 metres grading 0.70% V2O5, respectively (Table 1). The results reported on this announcement indicate that the VTM mineralisation extends on a N-NE direction and is open along the strike (Figure 1). Additional drillholes are planned to continually test the Pitombeiras North mineralised area.

Currently, the Company has 101 core samples (including QA/QC samples) under analysis at the SGS-Geosol laboratory.

Quality Assurance & Quality Control

All drill core 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.
