Jangada Mines plc ('Jangada')
Acquisition Completion, Issue of Equity and TVR
Jangada Mines Plc (AIM: JAN), a natural resource development company with assets in Brazil and other jurisdictions, is pleased to announce, further to its 19 August 2025 announcement, the completion of its acquisition of an initial 33.3% equity interest in MTGOLD MINERAÇÃO LTDA ("MTgold"), the owner of the highly prospective Paranaíta Gold Project ("Paranaíta" or the "Project"), located in Brazil's historically significant Alta Floresta - Juruena Gold Province. Following this acquisition Jangada has now assumed operatorship of the Project.
The 7,211-hectare Paranaíta Gold Project is a gold-rich porphyry-epithermal system with extensive historical data, artisanal mining activity, and structural similarities to nearby high-grade producing deposits. More than $2 million has been invested in exploration to date, including 1,756 metres of diamond drilling, leading to the identification of 15 high-grade gold occurrences along an 8 km east-west mineralised corridor. The Project hosts resource of approximately 210,000 ounces of gold grading 3.165 g/t Au, compliant with Comissão Brasileira de Recursos e Reservas standards and readily convertible and extendable to JORC classification with further work. The next phase will target multiple open-ended gold structures to accelerate development of the project.
The consideration for the acquisition of the initial 33.3% interest comprises the equivalent of £1 million in value of new Jangada Ordinary Shares (based on a 20-day VWAP calculated as 0.535 pence) and £250,000 in cash. Accordingly, the Company has issued 186,880,956 new Ordinary Shares to the vendors (with the split as set out below) (the "Consideration Shares"), which are subject to a 12 month lock-up, save for certain limited customary carve-outs. Jangada also holds an option to increase its stake in MTgold to 50.1% through the issue of a further £500,000 in new Ordinary Shares, again priced using a 20-day VWAP at the time of exercise.

Paulo Misk, CEO of Jangada, commented:
"I am delighted to confirm the successful acquisition of 33.3% in the highly prospective Paranaíta project. The asset benefits from substantial historical exploration, including over 1,750m of diamond drilling, which has helped identify an initial 210,000 ounces of gold at grades of c3.165g/t.
I have recently returned from site and having reviewed the data and proposed work programme I am keen to get exploration activities underway in the near term. A separate update will be released shortly, but with an already identified 8km mineralised corridor, which houses 15 primary high grade gold targets (including a drilled intersection grading over 18g/t), following our recent capital raise of £800,000 I believe we can unlock significant value in the short term in a highly cost-effective manner.
I look forward to providing an operational update in the near term during these exciting times for Jangada."
Admission and Total Voting Rights:
The Company has applied for the admission of the Consideration Shares to trading on AIM ("Admission"), with such Admission to become effective and that dealings commence on 26 August 2025. Following Admission, the Company's issued share capital will consist of 640,482,989 Ordinary Shares, each with one voting right. As the Company does not hold any shares in treasury, this figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the share capital of the Company following Admission under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
