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.
