REVIEW OF THE BUSINESS

Pitombeiras Vanadium Project

During the period under review, the Company continued to develop its 100% owned Pitombeiras Ferrovanadium Project ('Pitombeiras' or 'the Project'), located in the state of Ceará, Brazil and I am pleased to confirm that we have made great progress in this regard. The Company concluded the current phase of its drilling programme, and post period end, completed a consolidated updated National Instrument 43-101 ('NI 43-101') compliant resource estimate, comprising the results obtained to date from Pitombeiras North and South and Goela targets:

· Total Mineral Resource Estimate ('MRE') of 8.26Mt, representing an increase of 45%, with 62% now classified at the higher confidence Measured & Indicated ('M&I') Mineral Resources category;

· The Mineral Resource classification resulted in Measured & Indicated Resources of 5.10Mt at 0.46% V2O5, 9.04 % TiO2 and 46.06% of Fe2O3, and;

· Inferred Resource Estimate of 3.16Mt at 0.44% V2O5, 9.00% TiO2 and 45.86% of Fe2O3

Vanadiferous Titanomagnetite (VTM) mineralisation continues to be open and drilling to date has been conducted on 3 of 8 known targets. Due to the significantly larger MRE with higher category confidence levels from that previously reported and extensive other work undertaken, the Company will now be issuing a Definitive Feasibility Study ('FS') in Q4 2021, rather than an upgraded economic study.

In June 2021, a major milestone for project development was achieved with the granting of a trial mining license, which allows for the extraction of up to 300,000 tonnes of Ferrovanadium bearing material per year from Jangada's exploration licenses. A pilot operation under the trial mining license can be developed with a starter open pit operation utilising a contract mining fleet of hydraulic excavators, front-end loaders, 30 tonnes haul trucks, rotary drill rigs and ancillary equipment. The selected beneficiation process route is composed of crushing and screening, and dry and wet magnetic concentration.

Capital expenditure requirements and major operating expenditure items are at an advanced stage and the Company is fully funded for its existing work programme and, subject to completion of the FS to the Board's satisfaction, intends to proceed to mine development, with first production as early as mid 2022.

ValOre Metals Corp

During the period, the Company sold down a substantial part of the investment in ValOre to support the Company's working capital requirements, allowing the Company to substantially progress the development of Pitombeiras, including the PEA (announced in February 2021) and to continue to increase the JORC resource.

At the end of the reporting period, the Company had a 1.10% interest in ValOre's share capital.  Brian McMaster and Luiz Azevedo both resigned from the board of directors of ValOre on 1 June 2021 and as a result, it is no longer considered an associate for the purposes of preparing financial statements.

Fodere Titanium Limited

By channelling capital in a responsible way towards companies that innovate and address global challenges to create a more sustainable world, investing can make a difference.  With this in mind, as announced on 1 February 2021, the decision was made to take a 3.6% interest in Fodere Titanium Limited ('Fodere'), a company that is making great strides towards commercialising the production of titanium dioxide and vanadium from waste materials.

Fodere is rapidly advancing the commercialisation of its environmentally sustainable and highly innovative technology to extract high value metals from the titanium, vanadium, iron, and steel industries.  Fodere is currently in discussion with industrial offtakers as it moves toward building an initial plant to commence production. One of the Company's Non-Executive Directors, Nick von Schirnding, is Chairman of Fodere.

COVID-19

The directors note that COVID-19 has had a significant negative impact on the global economy during 2020 and 2021 with disruption felt globally. The Group has thankfully seen its inherent value significantly increase from its value in 2020 because of our successful exploration programme and project development initiatives. On a wider level COVID-19 has highlighted to the world the importance of sustainability across every aspect of life.  With a portfolio of assets and investments that support the drive towards greater sustainability, Jangada is well placed to contribute to the world's needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Financial Results

The progress during the financial year of advancing the Pitombeiras project and the sell down of the investment in ValOre shares, resulted in the Group making a profit from Continuing Operations of $1,016k (2020: loss $796k).

Overall and pleasingly, the reported Total Comprehensive Profit attributable to the Group for the reporting period was $921k (2020: loss of $925k).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

FOR THE HALF-YEAR ENDED 30 june 2021

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 condensed consolidated financial information for the year ended 30 June 2021 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 18 month period to 31 December 2020. The 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 as at 31 December 2020.

  The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information required for full annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.

The Board have conducted a review of forecast earnings and cash over the next twelve months, considering various scenarios and sensitivities given the COVID-19 situation and uncertainty around the future economic environment. The Board have a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements.

The consolidated financial information is presented in United States Dollars ($), which is also the functional currency of the Company. Amounts are rounded to the nearest thousand ($'000), unless otherwise stated.

  Changes in accounting principles and adoption of new and revised standards

In the year ended 30 June 2021, the Directors have reviewed all the new and revised Standards. 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 31 December 2020 financial statements, the directors do not consider there to be 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 Group's planned expenditure on the Pitombeiras vanadium deposit and the Group's working capital requirements, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group 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 Company were unable to continue as a going concern.

Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. This include investments in equities that are designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception and then subsequently managed and recognised at fair value.

The Company's financial assets include cash and other receivables. The Company 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 Company's Pitombeiras project and formerly the Pedra Branca 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 Company'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

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 Pitombeiras project (2021: $nil, 2020: $346,000) at this time.

Estimates and assumptions

In arriving at the carrying value of investments in associates, the Company 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 Company only operates in one segment: mining services. All non-current assets have been generated in Brazil.

The Directors believe that the Company's operations are not subject to any significant seasonality.
