Notes to the Editors

Jangada Mines plc (AIM: JAN) is focused on developing the Pedra Branca PGM Project ('the Project'), one of the largest undeveloped PGM projects outside of Africa, with the potential to supply a market in long-term deficit.  The Project has a JORC (2012) Compliant Resource of approximately 1 million ounces of PGM+Au at a grade of 1.3 g/t, 109Mlbs of Ni, 23Mlbs of Cu, 6.4Mlbs of Co and 670kt of Cr.  Circa 52% of this is contained within current three mining licences and is considered a low development risk due to previous exploration work totalling + US$35 million.  The Company is aiming to establish a low-cost, low-capex, open-pit mine; a Scoping Study announced Q4 2017 suggested an IRR of 80%, a payback period of 1.3 years, and an NPV of US$158.4m at a 10% discount rate.   Additionally, the Company has a further 44 exploration licences spanning 55,000 hectares, which have upside potential for PGM, nickel, copper, chrome, rhodium, gold, and vanadium.  The team has a wealth of experience, not only of the Project but of mining in South America across a range of commodities.
