TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / August 29, 2024 / Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG)(OTCQX:JAGGF) is pleased to provide an update on mine development and drilling at its Faina deposit ("Faina"). Faina is a north-western extension of the ore zones at the Turmalina mine, as part of the Company's MTL mining complex located in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, approximately 130 kilometers northwest of the city of Belo Horizonte.

During the second quarter (see press release dated August 7, 2024), Turmalina achieved a milestone with the first tonnage from the Faina deposit being milled. Faina ore generated by access development was processed at the Turmalina plant which produced 414 gold ounces. Continuing development and first stope production from the Faina deposit are expected in the second half of 2024.

Probable Mineral Reserves at Faina (as at December 2023) are reported as 132 koz (787 kt @ 5.22 g/t Au) within Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources of 233 koz (1,427 kt @ 5.08 g/t Au) and Inferred Mineral Resources of 232 koz (1,420 kt @ 5.09 g/t Au) (see Press Release dated December 18, 2023). Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources at Faina will be updated with 2024 metrics in the first quarter of 2025.

Since development of Faina commenced in 2022, approximately 4,439m of primary access development from the Turmalina mine to the Faina deposit has been achieved, with approximately 1,158m of development completed since the start of 2024, including approximately 155m of secondary productive development. To date, the Company has invested approximately US$16 million in capital at Faina which has mainly been spent on infill diamond drilling, metallurgical test work, access development and studies.

Vern Baker, President, and CEO of Jaguar Mining stated: "Progress at Faina on ramps and orebody access is advancing better than expected. We are also pushing definition diamond drilling as development opens up positions for diamond drilling. Currently, we have two drills working at Faina to define the ore zones that we will utilize for preliminary production in 2024 and for planned production levels in 2025. High grade mineralization intersected in recent development and drilling over good thicknesses continues to underpin our high confidence in this orebody. Our development rates continue to be slightly above plan, and we expect to see some stope production over the next several months. Our plan is focused on providing the sub-level accesses to grow production rapidly in 2025. The team at Faina is in the process of redefining the geological model with a focus on expanding the Mineral Resources inventory and conversion of Inferred Mineral Resources to higher-classification categories. We expect 2025 to be a year of strong growth at Faina while we position these orebodies to produce at +300,000 tonnes per year from 2026 onwards while also increasing our inventory of resources within those orebodies."

Faina Mineralization

Gold mineralization is hosted within a series of six separate structurally and stratigraphically controlled mineralized lenses defined as lens E (undifferentiated chemical sediments), and lens F to lens J (meta-mafic rocks). Recent development and diamond drilling has focused on the H-Lens where high grade mineralization over true thicknesses > 10m have been intersected. This infill drilling and access development is enabling the geological team at Faina to refine the geological and structural model which is already informing the detailed designs for planned stope and production areas in the second half of 2024 and into 2025.

Faina Diamond Drilling and Channel Sampling Results

Resource definition diamond drilling has reported high grade intercepts with grade x thickness (GT) values greater than 25 (GT) on H-Lens (Central) which are tabulated below in Table 1. A plan view showing the location of the diamond drill impact results is presented below in Figure 4.

Scientific and technical information contained in this press release has been reviewed and approved by Jonathan Victor Hill, BSc (Hons) (Economic Geology - UCT), FAUSIMM, Advisor Exploration and Geology to Jaguar Mining Inc., and is a "qualified person" as defined by National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("NI 43-101").

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.
