FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TSX:JAG
Jaguar Mining Reports Strong Full-Year and Fourth Quarter 2016 Results;
Generated $38 Million in Operating Cash Flow and Turned Free Cash Flow Positive
Toronto, Canada, March 21, 2017 - Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX: JAG) today announced
financial and operating results for the fourth quarter (“Q4 2016”) and full -year ended December 31, 2016 (“FY 2016”). All
dollar amounts are in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
FY 2016 Consolidated Highlights
● Operating cash flow up 56% to $37.8 million as compared to FY 2015. Free cash flow turned positive year-over-year to
$11.3 million.
● 2016 gold production of 96,608 ounces exceeded 2016 guidance. Delivered record gold recovery of 91%, higher grade
of 3.74 g/t, and higher throughput levels.
● Increasing consolidated 2017 gold production guidance between 100,000 – 110,000 ounces.
● Substantial increase in capital investments with $25.4 million of sustaining capital in FY 2016 to transform operations,
support a growing production profile, and expand mine life. Primary development increased 44% to 5,462 metres while
secondary development more than doubled to 4,751 metres compared to FY 2015.
● Capital expenditures up 58% to $29.8 million, of which 85% was invested in sustaining capital, financed 100% through
operating cash flow demonstrating the sustaining capability of the operations.
● Improved cash operating costs (“COC”) to $719 per ounce sold, from $755 in FY 2015. Despite the strengthening of the
Brazilian Real and restart of development at Pilar, the Company achieved the lower end of 2016 COC guidance range
of $700 – $750 per ounce sold.
● All-in sustaining costs (“AISC”) of $1,099 per ounce sold, reflects a 47% increase in sustaining capital spend.
● Working capital improved to $8.9 million as at December 31, 2016, up from $2.0 million at December 31, 2015.
Working capital reflects a substantial increase in cash invested in primary and secondary development, up 44% and
113% respectively, and includes $10.3 million in loans from Brazilian banks which are renewed every six months and
are all classified as short-term.
Q4 2016 Consolidated Highlights
● Strengthened the balance sheet with the full conversion of $21.5 million of the Senior Secured Convertible Debentures.
● Operating cash flow up 25% to $8.5 million after paying approximately $2.9 million in recoverable taxes.
● Consolidated gold production of 25,407 ounces, up 10% from 23,169 in Q4/15. Gold sales up 3% to 25,110 ounces.
● COC of $735 per ounce sold, up 16% from $631 in Q4 2015, primarily due to an appreciating Brazilian Real compared
to the US dollar, and the restart of secondary development at Pilar, now positioned to commence stoping phase.
● AISC of $1,098 per ounce sold, up 11%, from $991 in Q4 2015, reflecting higher sustaining capital spending across all
three mines to accelerate primary development, exploration drilling, and equipment investments including the rebuild of
the paste-fill plant and recommissioning of Mill #3 at Turmalina.
● Established a $10.0 million secured loan facility with Sprott Private Resource Lending (Collector) LP (“Sprott Lending”)
to fund $8.0 million in accelerated growth exploration commenced in 2017 at all operating mines.
● Entered into an arrangement with Avanco Resources Limited to develop and acquire up to 100% of the Gurupi Project
through an Earn-In Agreement and NSR Royalty; while retaining exposure to full exploration upside of the property.
Rodney Lamond, President and Chief Executive Officer of Jaguar, commented, "2016 was a successful and
transformational year for Jaguar Mining. We exceeded 2016 production guidance and improved cash operating costs to
$719 per ounce sold, despite operating under a strengthening Brazilian foreign currency. Operating cash flow increased
56% to $37.8 million while free cash flow turned positive with $11.3 million generated during 2016. Capital investment across
all operating mines significantly increased and the projects undertaken in 2016 were fully funded through operating cash
flow. During the fourth quarter, Jaguar completed the conversion of all senior secured debentures to common shares which
strengthened the balance sheet and our capital structure. Our ability to access capital enabled us to negotiate a $10.0 million
secured loan facility with Sprott Lending. Up to $8.0 million of the facility will be used to fund an accelerated growth
exploration program in 2017. Additionally, we entered into an arrangement with Avanco Resources Limited to advance the
development of Gurupi while retaining Jaguar’s exposure to the significant upside potential of the property.”
“In 2017, we expect our gold production to increase to between 100,000 – 110,000 ounces. We are also focused on delivering
lower unit costs through the formalization of company-wide expense controls, leveraging technology, and efficiency and
productivity improvements from operational excellence programs at both Turmalina and Pilar. Consolidated cash operating
costs are expected to be between $720 - $755 per ounce sold and AISC of $900 - $1,000 per ounce sold.”
Mr. Lamond concluded: “Sustaining exploration drilling programs completed during 2016 were designed to grow and replace
the mining depletion of mineral reserves at our core mining assets and to extend mine life. For 2017, we are confident that
our growth exploration drilling programs will provide additional resource growth opportunities. Our team is reviewing and

evaluating efforts to achieve the Company’s strategic goal to increase production by 50% by adding back capacity from the
Paciência mining complex. This asset was previously placed on care and maintenance in 2012. At our core assets, we are
maintaining the increased pace of mine development and accelerated exploration programs to continue to build confidence
in current geological models and mine plans. This focus will enable us to achieve our 2017 production guidance with an
expected increase in production during the second half of 2017. We are confident and motivated on executing our five-year
strategy of increasing the sustainable gold production profile to approximately 200,000 ounces per year.”

FY 2016 and Q4 2016 Key Financial Statement Highlights
● Revenue for Q4 2016 increased 13% to $30.3 million, compared with $26.8 million in Q4 2015, due to a 10% year-over-
year increase in the average realized gold price to $1,205 in Q4 2016 compared with $1,098 in Q4 2015, and a 3%
increase in ounces sold. Revenue for FY 2016 also increased 13% to $120.5 million from $106.5 million in FY 2015.
● Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2016 was mainly a result of the change in the fair value of the convertible
debentures (non-cash loss of $78.0 million) based on the significant increase in Jaguar’s share price from December
31, 2015 to the respective conversion dates of the debentures, which was partially offset by a decrease in the Company’s
labour litigation provision amounting to $6.6 million primarily due to a change in the estimate in the first quarter of 2016.
● Adjusted EBITDA for Q4 2016 was $6.3 million compared to $7.4 million for Q4 2015, while adjusted EBITDA for the
year ended December 31, 2016 was $36.6 million compared to $21.4 million in FY 2015.
● Operating cash flow (excluding cash tax refunds) was $8.5 million for Q4 2016, compared to $6.5 million in Q4 2015.
For FY 2016, operating cash flow (excluding cash tax refunds) was $36.8 million compared to $16.6 million for FY 2015.
● Free cash flow was $2.3 million for Q4 2016 and $11.3 million for FY 2016 based on operating cash flow (excluding
cash tax refunds) less total capital expenditures, compared to $0.9 million and negative $1.6 million in Q4 2015 and FY
2015, respectively. Free cash flow per ounce sold was $117 in FY 2016 compared to negative $7 in FY 2015.

2017 Key Growth Drivers
● Completing 2017 capital investment program to increase the number of available working areas through increased
development and exploration to grow sustainable production across all operating mines.
● $8.0 million to be spent on major growth exploration program including Turmalina and Pilar, as well as the high priority
Pacheca and Cubas targets near Pilar and other advanced targets. Approximately $6.0 million will be allocated towards
Jaguar’s core assets, Turmalina and Pilar, to drive increased mine life. The remaining $2.0 million will be distributed
towards other growth targets.
● This growth exploration program is primarily focused on increasing identified mineral resources at core assets and the
discovery of new resources near existing infrastructure across operating mines. The growth exploration program is
expected to complete approximately 31,000 metres of diamond drilling, including approximately 15,000 metres of drilling
down-plunge continuities of Orebodies A and C at Turmalina and Orebodies BFII and BF at Pilar. Lastly, approximately
8,500 metres of surface diamond drilling will test the Pacheca and Cubas targets and other advanced targets.
● Growing mine production, increasing throughput, and reducing cash operating costs guidance.
● Commencing mine-wide Operational Excellence Program (“OEP”) at Pilar to identify and eliminate waste, lower costs,
and improve productivity to create and deliver results, which will drive future growth. Continuing OEP at Turmalina.
● Implementation of formalized capital allocation and value driven decision making.

The Iron Quadrangle
The Iron Quadrangle has been an area of mineral exploration for centuries, dating back to the 16th century. The discovery
in 1699-1701 of black 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 just over 25,000 hectares.

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 above stated footnotes where the Company expanded on its use of non-IFRS measures.
1. Cash operating costs and cash operating costs per ounce sold 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, dep letion,
share-based payment expenses, and reclamation costs. Cash operating costs per ounce are based on ounces sold and are calculated
by dividing cash operating costs by commercial gold ounces sold. The Company discloses cash operating costs and cash operatin g
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 directly 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 December 31, 2016 is set out in the Company's fourth quarter 2016 MD&A filed on SEDAR
at www.sedar.com.
2. All-in sustaining costs per ounce 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 costs as the sum of production costs, sustaining capi tal (capital
required to maintain current operations at existing levels), corporate general and administrative expenses, and in -mine exploration
expenses. All-in sustaining costs 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 December 31, 2016 is set out in the Company's fourth quarter 2016 MD&A filed on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
