Jangada gets on vanadium bandwagon
Date: Mar 12, 2019
Brazil-focused explorer Jangada Mines (AIM:JAN) has picked up 0.80% vanadium intercepts near its Pedra Branca PGM project.
The company said four drill holes at Pitombeiras West, totalling 300m, had picked up a an average 0.57% V2O5 and 8.1% TiO2, with mineralised sections ranging from 26m to 46m wide.
The magnetite deposit starts at the surface and remains open at depth and along strike, the company said.
Last month, Jangada said 72 surface samples had given 0.91% V2O5 and 14.3% TiO2.
Investors were keen on the drill results, pushing the share price up 4.7% to 2.78p (US3.61c).
Brazil is home to Largo Resources’ Maracás Menchen mine, which is forecast to produce 10,000 tonnes of V2O5 this year.
