JAGUAR MINING REPORTS FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE THIRD QUARTER 2024
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Toronto, November 8, 2024 – Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG, OTCQX:JAGGF)
today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024. All figures are in
US Dollars, unless otherwise expressed.
Third Quarter Highlights
• Gold production was 16,912 ounces, marginally lower than the 17,316 ounces produced in the third quarter of
2023. The net reduction reflects 16% fewer tonnes processed, substantially offset by 24% higher head grades.
• Gold sold was 15,726 ounces, representing a 5% decrease from the 16,502 ounces sold in the third quarter of
2023, mainly reflecting the slightly lower year-over-year production. Realized gold prices for the quarter were
$2,474 per ounce, an increase of 29% over the $1,916 per ounce realized in the third quarter of 2023.
• Cash operating costs per ounce¹ sold decreased by 7% to $1,101 per ounce of gold sold from $1,188 per ounce
of gold sold in the third quarter of 2023, reflecting a 12% reduction in Operating Costs.
• All-in sustaining costs (AISC) per ounce¹ increased by 7% to $1,831 per ounce of gold sold from $1,7 04 per
ounce of gold sold in the third quarter of 2023. The increase mainly reflects higher sustaining capital
investments in the Faina zone at the Turmalina mine, which became operational in the second quarter of 2024
and is still in the process of ramping up production.
• As the Faina zone had its first production and gold sales during the second quarter of 2024 , its ongoing
development costs were reclassified from growth capital to sustaining capital. Over $2.0 million of growth capital
incurred during the second quarter was reclassified in the current quarter to sustaining capital, which generated
a negative figure for reported mine site non-sustaining capital at the Turmalina mine.
• The elevated rate of development capital invested in the Faina zone during the quarter was to support the
planned ramp-up of production in 2025 from this zone. Low production volume of 1,819 ounces from the Faina
zone, combined with high levels of sustaining capital which included the catch -up of second quarter 2024
sustaining capital, resulted in the Turmalina mine’s AISC per ounce sold being elevated this quarter.
• Revenue for the quarter was $ 38.9 million, representing a 23% increase from the $31.6 million in revenue in
the third quarter of 2023. This increase was driven by higher realized gold prices year -over-year and w as
partially offset by fewer ounces sold.
• Operating costs for the quarter were $ 17.3 million, a reduction of 12% compared to operating costs of $ 19.6
million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Net income for the quarter was $2.3 million, a decrease of $1.5 million compared to net income of $3.8 million
in the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted net income 1 for the quarter , excluding the impact of $6.0 million in
provisions for civil and labour litigations, was $8.3 million ($0.10 per share).

1400-25 Adelaide Street East, Toronto, Ontario M5C 3A1 T: 416-847-1854
• Free cash flow1 for the quarter was $4.8 million, an increase of $3.3 million compared to free cash flow of $1.5
million in the third quarter of 2023. Free cash flow per ounce1 sold for the quarter was $306 per ounce compared
to $92 per ounce in the third quarter of 2023. Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less asset
retirement obligation expenditures and sustaining capital expenditures.
Cash position and working capital1
• As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $ 41.6 million, compared to a
balance of $22.0 million at December 31, 2023. Cash and cash equivalents increased by approximately $19.6
million during the first nine months of the year, mainly reflecting the impact of higher realized gold prices and
the receipt of other accounts receivable of $4.0 million from BHP in March 2024.
Vern Baker, President and CEO of Jaguar, stated : “ Results for this quarter reflect our continued focus on the
development of new mining areas at both of our operations. We are encouraged by the Faina zone at the Turmalina
mine which contributed 1,819 ounces to our production from a combination of development ore and our first stoping
block. Overall grades were at an average head grade of 4.39 g/t. The stoping tonnes were less than half the total
tonnage processed at average grades of over 5.0 g/t. Development of this area is going well and in the fourth
quarter we expect to increase both development me ters and diamond drilling meters at the Faina zone. In 2025 ,
we plan to continue developing at high er rates and expect to see an increase in production to full rates starting in
2026.
Development of the BA zone at the Pilar mine also continued. Accesses reaching or progressing towards five
separate sub-levels of the BA zone continued during the quarter for the purposes of test stoping in several levels
starting in the fourth quarter. Diamond drilling also continued and our next MRMR update should reflect ounces in
this part of the BA zone.
The focus on development of new sub-levels for the purpose of future production at both mines led to limited work
in historical mining areas during the quarter, resulting in lower tonnes processed and higher waste tonnes moved.
Efforts to maximize production grades combined with the addition of the higher-grade Faina ore led to improved
head grades. Our average head grade increased significantly year-over-year from 2.95 g/t to 3.67 g/t.
On the cost side, our cash operating costs per ounce were 7% lower , the result of the higher grades, while our
AISC’s increased due to the inclusion of development expenditures as sustaining capital at the Faina zone rather
than as growth capital as in prior quarters. The elevated A ISC per ounce seen this quarter is expected to improve
as production at Faina increases.
During the quarter, we continued to benefit from a strong realized gold price. We added over $4 million in cash and
ended the quarter with approximately $42 million dollars, almost doubling our cash position over the past nine
months. This positions us to continue investing in the development of our ore zones which will grow ounce
production. It also allows us to invest in additional projects which support our growth plan to significantly increase
production over the next five years.”

Non-GAAP performance
The Company has included the following Non-GAAP performance measures in this document: cash operating costs
per ounce of gold sold, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold, average realized gold price (per ounce of gold
sold), sustaining capital expenditures, non-sustaining capital expenditures, adjusted operating cash flow, free cash
flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBIT DA and working
capital. These Non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and,
therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain
investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. Accordingly, they are intended to provide
additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance
prepared in accordance with IFRS. More specifically, Management believes that these figures are a useful indicator
to investors and management of a mine’s performance as they provide : (i) a measure of the mine’s cash margin
per ounce, by comparison of the cash operating costs per ounce to the price of gold; (ii) the trend in costs as the
mine matures; and (iii) an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines. The
definitions of these performance measures and reconciliation of the Non -GAAP measures to reported IFRS
measures are outlined below.

The Iron Quadrangle
The Iron Quadrangle has been an area of mineral exploration dating back to the 16th century. The discovery in
1699–1701 of gold contaminated with iron and platinum -group metals in the southeastern corner of the Iron
Quadrangle gave rise to the name of the town Ouro Preto (Black Gold). The Iron Quadrangle contains world -class
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 42,000 hectares.
About Jaguar Mining Inc.

Non-IFRS Measures
This news release provides certain financial measures that do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. Readers are
cautioned to review the below stated footnotes where the Company expands on its use of non-IFRS measures.
1. Cash operating costs and cash operating cost per ounce are non-IFRS measures. In the gold mining industry, cash operating costs and
cash operating costs per ounce are common performance measures but do not have any standardized meaning. Cash operating costs
are derived from amounts included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and include mine -site operating
costs such as mining, processing and administration, as well as royalty expenses, but exclude depreciation, depletion, share -based
payment expenses, and reclamation costs. Cash operating costs per ounce are based on ounces produced and are calculated by
dividing cash operating costs by commercial gold ounces produced; US$ cash operating costs per ounce produced are derived fro m
the cash operating costs per ounce produced translated using the average Brazilian Central Bank R$/US$ exchange rate. The Company
discloses cash operating costs and cash operating costs per ounce, as it believes those measures provide valuable assistance to
investors and analysts in evaluating the Company's operational performance and ability to generate cash flow. The most direct ly
comparable measure prepared in accordance with IFRS is total production costs. A reconciliation of cash operating costs per ounce to
total production costs for the most recent reporting period, the quarter ended September 30. 2024, is set out in the Company's third
quarter 2024 Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
2. All-in sustaining cost is a non-IFRS measure. This measure is intended to assist readers in evaluating the total costs of producing gold
from current operations. While there is no standardized meaning across the industry for this measure, except for non -cash items the
Company's definition conforms to the all -in sustaining cost definition as set out by the World Gold Council in its guidance note dated
June 27, 2013. The Company defines all -in sustaining cost as the sum of production costs, sustaining capital (capital required to
maintain current operations at existing levels), corporate general and administrative expenses, and in -mine exploration expenses. All-
in sustaining cost excludes growth capital, reclamation cost accretion related to current operations , interest and other financing costs,
and taxes. A reconciliation of all -in sustaining cost to total production costs for the most recent reporting period, the quarter ended
September 30. 2024, is set out in the Company's third quarter 2024 MD&A filed on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com.
