Jaguar Mining Announces Voting Results for its
Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders and
the Creation of a Special Committee
Toronto, Canada, June 5, 2019 - Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX: JAG) announced today
the voting results from its annual general and special meeting of shareholders held on June 4, 2019 (the “Meeting”).
Election of Directors
Each of the nominees for election as directors listed in the Company’s management information circular dated April 22,
2019 were elected as directors of the Company for the ensuing year or until their successors are elected or appointed.
The voting results for the election of directors were as follows:
Nominee Votes For % For Votes Withheld % Withheld
Richard D. Falconer 79,471,343 32.278% 166,734,070 67.722%
John Ellis 144,311,068 58.614% 101,894,345 41.386%
Robert Getz 146,383,485 59.456% 99,821,928 40.544%
Benjamin Guenther 241,762,305 98.195% 4,443,108 1.805%
Luis Ricardo Miraglia 241,759,767 98.194% 4,445,646 1.806%
Edward V. Reeser 79,474,055 32.280% 166,731,358 67.720%
Thomas Weng 242,034,393 98.306% 4,171,020 1.694%
Despite such elections, since Messrs. Reeser and Falconer received a greater number of votes “WITHHELD” than
votes “FOR” at the Meeting, each of them has tendered a resignation to the Chairman of the board of directors (the
“Board”), in accordance with the Company’s majority voting policy.
These voting results indicate there is a desire for change at Jaguar. According to the Company’s majority voting policy,
the Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committee is supposed to consider and make recommendations to
the Board on any offers of resignation made pursuant to the majority voting policy (the “ Review”). However, since
Messrs. Reeser and Falconer are members of the Governance, Com pensation and Nominating Committee, it is
expected that the Board will create a special committee (the “ Special Committee”) to complete the Review. It is
anticipated that the Special Committee will be comprised of Messrs. Weng, Miraglia and Getz. In order to fully undertake
the Review and act on the message received from shareholders at the Meeting, the Special Committee will also
complete a thorough review of the Company’s circumstances, operating and financial performance, corporate
governance and emergin g opportunities. The Company will utilize this opportunity to initiate positive change and
progressive development at Jaguar in a manner that is in the best interest of the Company while considering all
stakeholders and prioritizing a desire to maximize shareholder value. This is expected to involve, among other things:

completing the hiring of a new, permanent Chief Executive Officer with extensive knowledge, capabilities and
experience in mining operations;
developing and implementing a plan for modernizing the mining and processing infrastructure as well as equipment of

optimizing the Company’s operations in order to increase ore processing and gold production while significantly
reducing the expenses per tonne processed and per ounce of gold produced; and
financing this change in a manner that will strengthen the Company’s balance sheet while maximizing expected
shareholder returns and minimizing debt.
Therefore, the Special Committee will consider the offers of resignation and also the candidates who are best suited to
fill any vacancies on the Board. Taking into account the recommendations of the Special Committee, the Board will
make its decision on whether to accept these offers of resignation and will announce it in a subsequent press release
as soon as practical and in any event, within 90 days following the Meeting.
