FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Jaguar Mining Continues to Intercept Significant Gold Mineralization at Orebody C;
Pilar and Turmalina Principal Orebodies Report Increasing Grades and Thickness
Toronto, June 18, 2018 – Jaguar Mining Inc ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX: JAG) today announced growth
exploration drilling results from 13 underground holes at Turmalina Gold Mine (“Turmalina”) targeting depth
extensions to Orebody C. The Company also reported results from infi ll drilling and recent underground
access development at Turmalina on Orebodies A and C and Pilar Gold Mine (“Pilar”) on Orebodies BF and
BFII.
Turmalina Exploration Highlights
● Turmalina Orebody C growth drilling, targeting down dip extensions, confirms gold mineralization 300m
below current operations and open for expansion
● Significant high grade, wide and thick intercepts reflect down plunge extensions of the central high -grade
payshoot at Orebody C currently being accessed for mining. Key intercepts in clude 7.77 g/t Au over
4.50m (ETW 4.25m), 9.22 g/t Au over 5.85m (ETW 5.11m) and 4.91 g /t Au over 15.10m (ETW
(14.65m)
● Infill drill results on Orebodies A and C confirm wide high -grade intercepts. Orebody A key intercepts
include 10.92 g/t Au over 17.29m (ETW 17.22m) and 17.23 g/t Au over 5.42m (ETW 5.35m)
Orebody C key intercepts include 12.61 g/t Au x 4.16m (ETW 3.52m) and 3.36 g/t Au over 14.27m (ETW
14.27m) including 6.17 g/t Au over 5.32m (ETW 5.32m)
Pilar Exploration Highlights
● Infill drilling conf irms wide, thicker and higher grade intercepts at BF and BFII Orebodies. Key intercepts
include 22.8 g/t Au over 6.3m (ETW 5.5m), 12.2 g/t Au over 13m (ETW 12.7m), 6.5 g/t Au over 29.7m
(ETW 28.8m) and 12.9 g/t Au over 8.4m (ETW 8.2m)
Definitions: ETW – estimated true width, g/t Au – grams per tonne gold, m – metres, Grade ( g/t Au) x
Thickness (m) = GM (gram – meters)
Rodney Lamond, President and CEO, Jaguar Mining commented: “We continue to make excellent progress
accessing and defining higher grade, thicker portions of principle orebodies at both Turmalina and Pilar mining
operations. The continued success of growth exploration initiatives, with many holes intercepting gold
mineralization, particularly on Orebody C at Turmalina, support our view that w e have a significant gold
system. The addition of Orebody C to our mineral resources inventory, including shallow high -grade
mineralization, provides Turmalina additional ore faces and operational flexibility going forward and gives us
confidence in our ab ility to deliver on production expectations. At Pilar, the wide, high -grade mineralization
now accessed through development further demonstrates and supports our strong belief that Pilar’s increased
production profile is achievable and sustainable. We cont inue to invest in maximizing the geological
information that new drilling and development bring through our mine geological -structural mapping initiative
and these observations will help drive our short and long-term planning.”

Turmalina Key Highlights
Results from a 13 growth exploration drill holes targeting down dip extensions to Orebody C below level 3
confirm continuity of the structure to beyond 8 level some 300m below current operations.
Recent drill results show sever al very high grade, wide drill intercepts with grade x thickness values > 30
including 7.77 g/t Au over 4.50m (ETW 4.25m), 9.22 g/t Au over 5.85m (ETW 5.11m) and 4.91 g/t Au over
15.10m (ETW (14.65m). These intercepts reflect the down plunge extensions of the central high -grade
payshoot currently being-accessed for mining on levels 3 and 4. Four drill intercepts with Grade x Thickness
values > 10 GM are also reported.
Orebody A
Results from infill drilling and access development from the main ramp on Leve ls 11.3 and 11.4 confirmed the
high grades and thickness profiles as predicted from the geological -resource models previously reported
(Refer press release to February 26, 2018). Results from 11 infill holes are reported of which seven holes
have intersections with grade x thickness of > 10 GM including two exceptional intercepts reporting 10.94 g/t
Au over 17.29m (ETW 17.22m) and 17.23 g/t Au over 5.42m (ETW 5.35m).
Orebody C
Results from infill drilling and access development on levels 3 and 4 confirmed the high grades and thickness
profiles as predicted from the geological -resource models and reported in the previous press -release (Refer
press release to February 26, 2018). Results from 22 infill holes are reported of which 14 holes have
intersections with a grade x thickness of > 10 GM including four intercepts with grade x thickness > 30 GM.
The two best intercepts reported are 12.61 g/t Au x 4.16m (ETW 3.52m) and 3.36 g/t Au over 14.27m (ETW
14.27m) including 6.17 g/t Au over 5.32m (ETW 5.32m).
Importantly, this infill drilling and geological – structural mapping on Orebody C access development has
allowed better definition and delineation of the orebody plunge which is now more to the SE (similar to that of
Orebody A) and helped define payshoot param eters for the higher grades and thicknesses within the overall
mineralized structure hosting this orebody. This information will inform mine design and planning to optimize
the extraction of these high-grade areas.
Pilar Key Highlights
Results from infill drilling and underground development on level 10 has exposed wider and materially higher -
grade mineralization in principal Orebodies BF and BFII.
Results from six infill holes targeting the principle orebodies on this level are reported. Of the 14 indiv idual
mineralized intercepts reported from these holes, four have grade x thickness intervals > 100 GM and a further
nine have grade x thickness intervals > 50 GM.
Key results include 22.8 g/t Au over 6.3m (ETW 5.5m), 12.2g/t Au over 13m (ETW 12.7m), 6.5 g/t Au over
29.7m (ETW 28.8m) and 12.9 g/t Au over 8.4m (ETW 8.2m)
Pilar commenced a mine wide, geological -structural mapping programme aimed at detailed mapping of all
available underground exposure at a scale of 1:100. Mapping of the BF and BFII Orebod ies on level 10.2 has
demonstrated the high grades exposed on this level are -related to the fold hinges and limbs of two
superimposed (by faulting) anticlines, which define the BF and BFII Orebodies. The plunges of these anticlines
have been verified by ma pping and structural measurements that will aid in targeting further exploration of
these important high-grade structures to depth. (Please refer to Figure 4).
As part of the previously reported growth exploration program at Pilar, drill -hole PPL443 was received
reporting strongly mineralized intervals within the targeted down plunge extensions to the principal ore zones
below 10 level. Key intercepts include were 2.7 g/t Au over 32.4m (ETW 18.2m) including 6.0 g/t Au over 3.1m
(ETW 1.7m) and 8.1 g/t Au over 4.0m (ETW 2.1m) and 3.4 g/t Au over 24.7m (ETW 15.9m) including 13.4 g/t
Au over 1.9m (ETW 1.2m) and 7.2 g/t Au over 4.6m (ETW 2.6m).

Jon Hill, Expert Advisor, Geology and Exploration, to the Jaguar Mining Management Committee commented:
“We are pleased to see closer spaced drill -results and mapping validate the predicted resources inventory as
the mining sequence progresses. It is even better when grade and contained metals estimations are exceeded
as the orebodies defined by drilling are physically accessed for extraction. As we complete more detailed
closer spaced drilling and development, and as mining progresses, drill results demonstrating increasing
grade-thickness and ounce per vertical meter have become the norm at Pilar and Turmalina. The positive
results reported today again demonstrate confidence in the predictive geological models in use that will allow
longer-term life of mine scenario planning to be completed. Drill programs in 2018 remain focused on
converting and upgrading the growing mineral resources inventory and upgrading mineral reserves while
systematically exploring a growing portfolio of targets within the Company’s strategic tenement portfolio.”
