Jangada Is Granted Trial Mining License
Jangada Mines plc ("Jangada" or "the Company"), a natural
resources company, is pleased to announce the Brazilian National
Mining Agency (ANM - Agência Nacional de Mineração) has granted a
trial mining license ("Guia de Utilização", or "GU") for its
100%-owned Pitombeiras Project ("Pitombeiras" or "the Project"),
Ceará State, Brazil. The GU allows for the extraction of up to
300,000 tonnes of Ferrovanadium ('FeV') bearing material per year
from Jangada's exploration licenses with the purpose of continuing
to evaluate the technical aspects and economic benefits of the
Project.
Brian McMaster, Executive Chairman of Jangada, said : "We are
very pleased with the timely grant of the Pitombeiras Project GU
within three months from submitting the application; another
significant development milestone has been achieved. This outcome
is a result of our solid development strategy and communication
with local authorities about the quality of our project and the
benefits to the local community and regional development. As we
advance towards mineral resources expansion and updated Preliminary
Economic Assessment ("PEA"), the granted GU provides a fundamental
section to our fast-track implementation path."
Further Information
On March 19(th) , 2021, the Company announced that Jangada
Mines' Executive Director, Luís Azevedo, and VP Project Manager,
Jose Luís Martins, met in Fortaleza, Ceará with the local ANM
Manager, Mr. Ricardo Bezerra, and submitted Jangada's application
for the trial mining license, also known as Guia de Utilização, or
GU. On June 25(th) , 2021, the GU was granted, allowing Jangada to
mine up to 300,000 tonnes of FeV bearing material per year from its
exploration licenses.
As previously reported, the objective of the trial mining
license is to initiate the extraction of FeV from the Project,
through an open pit mine operation. At this stage of development,
the Pitombeiras PEA has focused on evaluating a Direct Shipping Ore
("DSO") operation for the sale of a saleable magnetite concentrate
containing a minimum of 62% Fe and additional credit from 25%
contained V(2) O(5) .
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 by crushing and
screening, and dry magnetic concentration.
