DIAMOND DRILLING INTERCEPTS HIGH GRADE AT LEVEL 18 EXPANDING POTENTIAL AT DEPTH

FIVE ACCESS SUB-LEVEL HEADINGS PROGRESSING TO PROVIDE ROBUST FUTURE PRODUCTION PLATFORM

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 5, 2024 / Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG)(OTCQX:JAGGF) is pleased to announce it has progressed access development on five sub-levels on its newly defined high-grade BA zone at the Pilar mine in Brazil. In the second quarter (see press release dated August 7, 2024), the Company reported that its Pilar mine had begun to benefit from higher grades and incremental production contributed from this new BA zone, a trend that is expected to continue going forward. It should be noted that the adjacent Torre zone is generally narrower with more variable grades and more geotechnical challenges, however, it is a future opportunity for incremental ore once the necessary evaluation has been completed to safely mine this material.

To date in 2024, cumulative access development of approximately 374 m has been completed on five sub-levels. This development has generated 30,547 tonnes of run-of-mine ore feed at an average grade of 4.64 g/t producing 4,032 ounces of Au in the first half of 2024. In parallel with this development, approximately 3,985 metres of diamond drilling has been completed to date, while two diamond drill rigs remain focused on definition and expansion of the mineralized zone both up and down-plunge from the initial discovery holes on level 15. For the second half of the year, the Company expects to mine between 50-60,000 tonnes grading approximately 4.14 g/t from the BA zone.

Vern Baker, President and CEO of Jaguar Mining stated "We have continued to make good progress accessing the BA zone with lateral development on five separate sub-levels since March. The higher grades seen from BA development ore, along with positive step-out diamond drilling results and geological mapping are confirming structural continuity. The headline drill intercept on level 18 indicates the potential for a vertical panel of mineralization down to level 18, all of which supports our goal of achieving consistent production from this area going forward. We expect the overall contribution from the BA zone to increase over the next few quarters to a point where approximately 50% of mined production at Pilar in the second half of 2025 will be sourced from this new zone once fully accessed and developed."

Highlights from diamond drilling completed since Q1 2024 include:

• 8.80 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 5.00m - (Hole PPL1066)

• 9.30 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 4.70m - (Hole PPL1065)

• 9.35 g/t Au over an estimated true width of 7.50m - (Hole PPL1102) (including 33.1 g/t over an estimated true width of 1.25m)

Geological Description

The high-grade gold mineralization is hosted by a well-developed layer of BIF as outlined by detailed geological mapping of development faces exposed in the access crosscuts. The BIF is comprised of both carbonate and silicate facies, surrounded by undifferentiated metavolcanic and sedimentary schists. The highest grades are associated with hydrothermal alteration (quartz-sericite-chlorite-carbonate) and 5-15% of semi-massive to disseminated coarse subhedral grains of Arsenopyrite and subsidiary Pyrrhotite.

The BIF exposures show a succession of overturned folds (synform-antiform pairs), with fold axes plunging to the south at medium to low angles.

Mineral Resources per vertical meter - Comparison between historical and potential future production

Historically the BA zone was the main contributor to ounce production at Pilar in the upper levels of the mine reaching a peak of some 1500 mineral resource ounces per vertical meter around level 3. Over time and with increasing depth the mine saw a decrease in the ounce per vertical meter profile attributed to this orebody to sub-economic levels in the vicinity of level 8. As commonly occurs with structurally controlled mineralized systems of this nature the decreased ounces per vertical meter profile on the BA structure was accompanied by a concomitant increase in the ounces per vertical meter profile attributed to the nearby BIF structures south along strike and since 2016 the mine has produced the majority of ounces from the BIF structures. The discovery of higher grades on the BA structure in the vicinity of level 15 during late 2022 and subsequent exploration diamond drilling and access development described in this, and previous press releases is highlighting increased ounce per vertical meter on the BA structure now confirmed from levels 14 to levels 19 as presented in Figure 4 below.

The graph highlights the historically important contribution of ore from the BA zone to production at shallow levels in the mine from level 1 to level 8, diminishing from level 9 to level 14 and now, with recent drilling and exploration, demonstrating an increasing profile downwards from level 14 to level 19.

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.
