_____________________________________________________________________________________ _____
Toronto, September 3, 2025 – Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX: JAG) today announced
the successful resolution of all outstanding legal matters related to the incident at the Satinoco dry-stacked pile at
its MTL complex . The final settlement with the Public Prosecutor's Office in Brazil , together with previously
concluded agreements, definitively addresses all known liabilities arising from the incident . This resolution
represents an important milestone for the Company’s financial stability and provides greater operational clarity.
The conclusion of these matters underscores the Company’s commitment to proactive engagement, responsible
corporate conduct, and robust governance. By successfully concluding these complex negotiations, the Company
has mitigated financial risk and can now fully focus on its core gold mining operations and advancing future growth
plans.
Background and Comprehensive Resolution
The Satinoco incident led to several legal and administrative actions, including claims for community compensation,
environmental fines, and a significant Public Civil Lawsuit. The Company has worked diligently to address each of
these matters through constructive dialogue and negotiation, aiming for outcomes that are financially prudent for
shareholders while responsibly addressing all impacts.
With this final agreement, all known legal matters related to the Satinoco incident have been successfully resolved:
1. Public Civil Lawsuit (Public Prosecutor's Office): An agreement has been reached to settle this lawsuit,
for a final payment of R$40 million. The payment terms are structured to preserve financial liquidity, with
R$10 million payable upon signing and the remaining R$30 million over 24 installments beginning in March
2026. The agreement also includes the hiring of an external audit to evaluate company structures, providing
assurance for the safe resumption of operating activities.
2. Environmental Fine: As previously announced (see press release dated July 14, 2025) , the Company
negotiated a reduction of the environmental fine from an estimated R$320 million to R$60 million. This
settlement include s a portion dedicated to socio -environmental projects and a long -term installment
payment plan.
3. Community Compensation: An agreement with the Public Defender's Office (see press release dated
March 24, 2025) provided for community compensation of approximately R$58 million, reflecting the
Company’s commitment to support affected individuals.
The successful conclusion of these negotiations, particularly the final agreement with the Public Prosecutor's Office,
represents the full resolution of all known legal matters related to the Satinoco incident. The aggregate fines, totaling
approximately US$28 million at present value, will be paid in installments under terms that allow the Company to
manage these costs while resuming operational activities.

multi-million-ounce gold deposits such as Morro Velho, Cuiabá, and São Bento. Jaguar holds the second largest
gold land position in the Iron Quadrangle with over 46,000 hectares.
