prospectivity.
The Company’s principal operating assets are in the iron quadrangle, a prolific greenstone belt in the Brazilian state of Minas
Gerais and include the MTL complex (Turmalina mine and plant), which operations were suspended in December 2024 due to
Satinoco tailings pile incident (the “Incident”) and, as previously reported on the Company's Q4 2025 operating results press
release issued on January 14, 2026, remained temporarily suspended throughout Q4 2025 and restarted in Q1 2026, and Caeté
complex (Pilar mine, Roça Grande mine and Caeté plant). The Company also owns the Paciência complex (Santa Isabel mine
and plant), which has been on care and maintenance since 2012, and is currently undergoing preparatory activities for
restarting production toward the latter half of 2026.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY – Q4 2025 Performance and Strategic Outlook
This executive summary provides a concise overview of Jaguar Mining Inc.'s performance for the three-months ended December
31, 2025, highlighting key financial and operational results, strategic priorities, and the primary opportunities and challenges
ahead.
1. Key Findings and Results (Q4 2025 vs. Q4 2024)
Financial Performance:
o Revenue: Decreased by 10% to $38.0 million (from $42.4 million), primarily due to a 43% reduction in gold ounces sold
(9,124 oz vs. 16,043 oz) resulting from the Turmalina mine and plant suspension. This was partially offset by a significant
58% increase in the average realized gold price1 to $4,170 per ounce.
o Net loss: Reported a net loss of $20.5 million, compared to $19.9 million in Q4 2024. The loss is mainly due to changes
in reclamation provision for non-operating sites. Net loss also reflected $15.9 million expenses related to the Incident
at Turmalina which led to its operational suspension.
o Liquidity: Cash and cash equivalents totaled $66.5 million, compared to $46.4 million at December 31, 2024, while
working capital¹ increased to $25.0 million from $13.7 million. The increase primarily reflects cash received from the
private placement completed in October 2025. This was partially offset by cash outflows related to changes in legal
provisions, including the settlement of the Satinoco fines as well as changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities
and notes payable. In addition, increases in asset retirement obligations impacted working capital but did not affect
cash, as these represent non-cash adjustments. These impacts were further offset by a positive variance in short term
investments.
Operational Performance:
o Consolidated Gold Production: Totaled 9,356 ounces (down 37% compared to the 14,787 ounces produced in Q4 2024),
entirely from the Pilar mine as the Turmalina mine remained suspended throughout the year.
o Pilar Mine: Delivered a solid performance, producing 9,356 ounces (down from 10,511 ounces in Q4 2024), with a
reduced head grade of 3.41 g/t (down 22%) and a recovery rate of 89% (up from 88% from Q4 2024).
o Costs: Cash operating costs1 increased by 32% to $1,456 per ounce sold, and All−in
