Jangada Mines plc ('Jangada' or 'the Company')
£1.2m Fundraise and TVR
Investing in the development of the high grade, shallow, Molly and Paranaíta
Gold Projects
in Brazil
Jangada Mines Plc (AIM: JAN), a Brazil focused natural resource development
company, is pleased to announce that it has raised, in aggregate, £1,200,000
before expenses (the "Fundraising") at a price of 1.4 pence ("Issue Price")
per new Ordinary Share issued, reflecting strong investor demand, as the
Company looks to advance the exploration and development of the Molly Gold
Project ("Molly") and Paranaíta Gold Project ("Paranaita") in Brazil.
The Fundraising consisted of a placing of £1.1m through the issue of
78,571,424 new Ordinary Shares ("Placing") by its broker, Tavira Financial
Ltd, and a cash subscription of £100,000 with Brian McMaster, Executive
Chairman of the Company, through the issue of 7,142,857 new Ordinary Shares
("Subscription"). In aggregate, the Company shall issue 85,714,281 new
Ordinary Shares (the "Fundraise Shares"). The Company shall issue one warrant
for every Fundraise Share, exercisable at 2.25 pence for two years from
Admission.
Use of Funds Overview
· Proceeds will fund drilling and exploration work at the Molly Gold
Project and further exploration at the Paranaíta Gold Project, both in Brazil
o Jangada recently signed a LOI to earn the option to purchase 100% of the
high-grade shallow Molly Gold Project subject to it completing a high impact
2,000m drill programme, which is to be executed immediately
o Exploration results at Paranaíta reinforced confidence in achieving the
objective of defining a shallow open-pit mining opportunity
· Board continues to look for value accretive projects where it can
utilise its in country expertise to acquire projects in similar structure to
Molly and Paranaíta, specifically low up-front cost and stage-gated, results
driven, funding requirements.
Jangada Mines CEO Paulo Misk said, "We are delighted with the strong investor
support for the oversubscribed Placing following the recent news on the
potential acquisition of the high-grade Molly Gold Project in Brazil and
exploration results from Paranaíta. We are now looking to advance two gold
projects in Brazil where exploration, through additional drilling and
geophysics, will allow us to fully ascertain their true potential.
Importantly, both are shallow, high grade data rich projects located in
premium gold districts with the potential for low-cost development.
"The funds raised will be allocated across both projects generating strong
news flow. At Molly, the Company aims to validate and build upon the existing
dataset, which includes a JORC (2004) resource estimate of 130,000 oz Au.
Outstanding high-grade drill intercepts, including 6.5 metres at 10.5 g/t Au
and 1 metre at 200 g/t Au, together with clear expansion potential, make Molly
a compelling addition to our portfolio. Supported by the current favourable
gold market conditions, initial results from Paranaíta, which currently hosts
a resource estimate of 210,000 oz Au, reinforce our confidence in achieving
the objective of defining a shallow open-pit mining opportunity at the
Paranaíta Project.
"We were delighted that our Chairman participated in the Fundraising as I
believe it demonstrates the confidence in both our portfolio and strategy, as
we continue to strive to achieve our objective of building a substantial,
multi-project company, growing resource ounces and establishing a production
profile that delivers long-term value for all stakeholders."
DETAILS
Background to and Reasons for the Fundraising
Jangada is a gold-focused resource development company pursuing the
establishment of a leading portfolio of high-quality gold assets across
Brazil, targeting advanced, data-rich projects with strong scalability and
near-term re-rating potential. The Company aggressively advances its assets
through low-cost exploration and technical excellence, operating a model that
prioritises minimal upfront acquisition costs, directs capital into the
ground, and links acquisition consideration to exploration success through a
combination of equity and cash. In line with this and following the
announcement of the structured Molly Gold Project potential acquisition on
9(th) February 2026, the Company is now advancing two gold projects in
parallel.
The Molly Project located in the Tapajós region of Pará State, Brazil
represents a high-grade, shallow gold project in a prime gold region that
aligns strongly with the Company's investment and development criteria. It has
outstanding high-grade intercepts from historic drilling, including 6.5m at
10.5 g/t and 1m at 200 g/t, and an initial JORC resource of 130,000 ounces of
gold. A three-dimensional geological and mineralisation model shows that
gold mineralisation extends from near surface to depths of approximately 150m
over a strike length of around 400m and geophysical data indicates that the
identified mineralisation, where the initial resource is located, represents
only part of a much larger system, with a well-defined structural corridor
extending more than 500m to the west. This highlights strong potential for
significant resource expansion through exploration.
The Paranaíta Gold Project, located in Brazil's historically significant Alta
Floresta-Juruena Gold Province is currently under exploration. The trenching
programme returned encouraging gold results and, when combined with historical
artisanal mining and previous data, confirmed a NE-SW trending mineralised
structure extending over 800m of strike and up to 100m in depth at the TP-02
target. Trenching delivered grades of up to 3.1 g/t Au with continuous
intervals of up to 20m, with additional results up to 4.3 g/t Au at TR-JG-05A
and TR-JG-05B. At the TP-3.2 target, soil sampling produced grades up to 6.4
g/t Au and continuous mineralised intervals of up to 32m, supported by further
anomalous results across multiple trench areas.
The drilling programme at Paranaíta is focused on expanding the current
210,000 oz Au resource to approximately 350,000 oz Au under the JORC Code
across an 8km mineralised corridor hosting multiple high-grade occurrences. A
total of 1,100m of drilling has been completed, with initial results
confirming trenching outcomes and intersecting multiple mineralised zones at
TP-02. Remaining assay results are expected shortly, after which geological
modelling and follow-up drilling will be planned to support resource expansion
and advance the definition of a scalable, shallow open-pit development
opportunity at Paranaíta.
The Company maintains its active project acquisition strategy to build a
portfolio of shallow, high grade data rich projects located in premium gold
districts with the potential for low-cost development. and continues to
evaluate opportunities that fit within its investment criteria.
Use of Proceeds
The funds raised will be used to fund drilling, geophysical and geological
studies at the Molly Gold Project, further exploration at the Paranaíta Gold
Project and for working capital purposes.
At Molly, as part of earning the right to the option to acquire it, the
Company has committed to undertake a low-cost, high impact, 2,000m drill
programme. The work will focus on step-out drilling to test the western
extension identified by geophysics, alongside infill drilling to upgrade the
existing Inferred Resource of 130,000 oz Au to the Indicated category at the
Molly 1 target area (see announcement dated 9(th) February 2026). Phase 2 aims
to define a multi-pit operation, including initial drilling at the Molly 2
prospect, metallurgical test work, and preliminary economic assessments.
At Paranaíta assay results from the remaining drill holes are expected later
this month. Upon receipt, the Company will work with GE21 to complete detailed
geological modelling and determine the next phase of resource delineation,
including the planning of further drilling aimed at expanding the current
inferred resource of 210,000 oz Au and converting it to JORC classification.
Additionally, the Company aims to test multiple mineralised structures with
open drill targets in all directions and along the 8km mineralise corridor.
In tandem with exploration studies, which are expected to generate significant
news flow, the Company continues to evaluate additional opportunities, and the
funds raised will also be utilised to execute this process.
Details of the Fundraising
The Company has conditionally raised gross proceeds of £1,100,000 through a
