market: aim/ sector: mining 22 september 2025 jangada mines plc ('jangada' or the 'company')   interim results   jangada mines plc, a brazil focussed natural resource development company, is pleased to announce its unaudited interim results for the period ended six months to 30 june 2025.   chairman's statement since my last report, jangada has been transformed with a new strategy focussed on gold, an exciting project acquisition and the appointment of an award-winning ceo with a track record of building large scale mining operations in brazil.  we are now well set on a new path which we believe will lead to a revaluation the business and reward the patience of our shareholders.   the period under review was dominated by our desire to broaden our project base and deliver on our stated objective of acquiring high quality assets that we believe have transformative revaluation potential.  we evaluated the current commodity demand environment, assessed multiple potential projects and advanced several opportunities but unfortunately none came to fruition.  we needed to find the right asset. post period end, we achieved this, launching our new gold strategy, by acquiring a 33.3% interest and 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.    this transaction for £1 million in new jangada ordinary shares and £250,000 in cash, also provides us with management control and an option to increase our stake to 50.1% through the issue of a further £500,000 in new ordinary shares, priced using a 20-day vwap at the time of exercise.    paranaíta ticks the boxes in terms of our investment criteria, and we are extremely excited about its potential. developed by highly experienced brazilian geologists with deep regional expertise, the project has all the hall marks of a first-rate high grade open pittable project. with an in-ground gold acquisition cost of ~us$ 10/oz, early resource upgrade potential and a defined development path, we believe there is acute revaluation upside.   paranaíta is a 7,211-hectare gold-rich porphyry-epithermal system with extensive historical data, a record of artisanal mining, and structural similarities to nearby producing high-grade gold deposits.  to date, 15 primary high-grade gold occurrences have already been identified along an 8 km east-west mineralised corridor. an internally generated resource estimate currently stands at approximately 210,000 oz au grading 3.165 g/t, compliant with comissão brasileira de recursos e reservas standards. this is expected to be readily converted to jorc classification and expanded further with additional exploration work.   more than us$2 million has already been spent on historic exploration that identified six high-priority zones and yielded excellent results, underscoring paranaíta's potential. samples returned up to 135 g/t au, drill intercepts and trenching highlights include 5.0 metres at 5.48 g/t au and 3.8 metres at 12.5 g/t au respectively. the alignment of widespread gold mineralisation, geochemical anomalies, and their correlation with magnetic structures strongly indicates the potential presence of a large-scale deposit and we are confident of 1 million oz. importantly metallurgical test results yielded average overall gold recovery of 86%.   with a new project and strategy, we have strengthened the team operationally with the appointment of brazilian national, mr paulo guimarães misk as chief executive officer.  an award-winning mining professional with ~40 years' experience across the full project lifecycle primarily in brazil, he has the perfect credentials to execute our strategy. he led largo inc.'s recovery from near-bankruptcy to us$316m net income and a billion-dollar valuation in two years and has delivered complex projects across the commodity spectrum.  he has held senior roles at anglo american, amg and rhi magnesita and being recognised with multiple awards, incl. brazil mining personality of the year 2019. he was formerly president of bahia mining association and has the expertise to drive jangada forward and create value.   paulo has hit the ground running. following an immediate stie visit commenced a fully funded exploration programme has commenced at paranaíta. the initiative aims to grow the existing 210,000 oz au resource, to around 350,000 oz au under jorc, initially focussing on two priority zones: tp02, hosting 106,600 oz au at 16.65 g/t, and tp3.2, containing 34,588 oz au at 1.35 g/t. the programme includes 3,100 metres of trenching, 1,800 metres of rc drilling, topographic and geophysical surveys, and analysis of more than 600 historic samples. a preliminary economic assessment for a high-grade, open-pit operation producing 20,000 oz au per year is expected in q1 2026.   investment portfolio: on the investment portfolio, we still retain shareholdings in a number of entities. we retain 100% ownership of the pitombeiras ferrovanadium project, ceará, brazil, but as reiterated in my last communique, we have not actively pursued its development and instead elected to preserve cash and focus on identifying assets with a quicker pathway to production and more market attractiveness given current market sentiment.   with regards to fodere titanium limited, we continue to await updates from them regard funding, the execution of their business model and commercialising its environmentally sustainable technology for extracting valuable metals from titanium, vanadium, iron, and steel industries.   we have now partly exited our holding in blencowe resources plc ("blencowe"), the proceeds of which are being invested in paranaíta where we are in control.  we also maintain our small investment in axies ventures limited which is undertaking exploration of gold and copper projects in cyprus.  a full update on our investments will be provided in the final results when published.   financial results as a development company, the group is reporting a loss from continuing operations of $387k for the six months ended 30 june 2025 (30 june 2024: $275k). overall, the reported total comprehensive loss attributable to the group for the reporting period was $127k (2024: $428k).   outlook i believe we are in an excellent state to deliver future value.  paranaíta marks an entry point for the company into the gold arena where the market fundamentals for high grade development projects, with excellent data, are extremely strong. this acquisition offers compelling re-rating potential with limited capital requirements. with gold market fundamentals remaining strong and investor sentiment favouring quality exploration and development stories, we believe this is the ideal time to advance such a high-quality asset in a supportive and mining-friendly jurisdiction.   we have a new ceo, a strong balance sheet, and an excellent platform for growth.  these are exciting times and at a sub £5million market capitalisation, over the coming months, we expect to see a re-rating of our company as investors realise the potential of our gold strategy.   brian mcmaster executive chairman 22 september 2025     condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss and comprehensive income for the

prepared in accordance with the requirements of the aim rules for companies. as permitted, the company has chosen not to adopt ias 34 "interim financial statements" in preparing this interim financial information. the condensed consolidated financial information for the six months ended 30 june 2025 has been prepared on a basis consistent with, and on the basis of, the accounting policies set out

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 2024.           the interim financial information set out above does not constitute statutory accounts within the meaning of the companies act 2006. it has been prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of uk-adopted international accounting standards, and hence the previously reported accounting policies still apply.            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 2024.           statutory financial statements for the year ended 31 december 2024 were approved by the board of directors on 17 june

could have a material impact on the financial statements.            going concern   the directors, having made appropriate enquiries, consider that adequate resources exist for the company and group to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future and that, therefore, it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended 30 june 2025.        the interim financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. although the group's assets are not generating revenues and an operating loss has been reported, the directors are of the view that the group has sufficient funds to meet all committed and contractual expenditure and to maintain good title to the exploration licences.   as disclosed in the 31 december 2024 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. 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.     3.      critical accounting estimates and judgements   except as described below, the same

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 (2024: $nil) 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 10.   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
