Jaguar Mining Reports Updated Significant 49% Increase in Mineral Reserves at Pilar Mine, Reinforcing Long Term Growth Strategy

2026-03-31 21:11 ET - News Release

TORONTO, ON / ACCESS Newswire / March 31, 2026 / Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG)(OTCQX:JAGGF) announces a positive update to the Mineral Reserves of its Pilar Mine (in the Caeté Complex), located in the Iron Quadrangle, Minas Gerais, Brazil, reflecting the successful execution of infill and step‑out drilling programs and geological model reinterpretation completed during 2025.

During 2025, the Pilar Mine was Jaguar's sole operating mine, with the Turmalina Mine in the MTL Complex returning to operating status in March 2026 (see Jaguar Mining Press Release dated March 9, 2026). As a result, only the Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve (MRMR) for the Pilar Mine has been updated, as MTL remained on an embargo-related halt and no additional drilling could be completed throughout 2025. For the Onças de Pitangui (OdP) project, the MRMR figures remain unchanged from those reported in March 2025, despite an infill drilling program that commenced in 2025 and will continue through 2026. For both assets MTL and OdP, the Company plans to update the mineral resources next year.

The updated Mineral Reserve estimate for the Pilar Mine now totals 286,000oz, contained in 2,494 thousand tonnes at an average grade of 3.57 g/t Au, representing a net increase of 94,000oz in Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves, compared to the previously reported 192,000oz (1,536kt @ 3.89 g/t Au) of Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves. The NI 43-101 Technical Report on Caete Mineral Complex December 31,2025 is now available on SEDAR+.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • 94,000oz net increase in Pilar Mineral Reserves following successful infill and step‑out drilling and geological model reinterpretation completed in 2025.

  • Updated Pilar Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves total 286,000oz (2,494 kt @ 3.57 g/t Au), compared to 192,000 oz previously reported.

  • The December 2025 Pilar Mineral Reserves are estimated using a long-term gold price of $2500/oz, and Pilar Mineral Resources are estimated using a long-term gold price of $2700/oz, both use an exchange rate of R$5.5:US$1.0.

  • Reserve growth driven primarily by the BA and BFs orebodies, confirming continuity and scale of the Pilar mineralized system.

  • Pilar delivered consistent operational performance in 2025, producing 40,012 oz of gold with stable recoveries of approximately 89%, while advancing key underground infrastructure upgrades.

  • Drilling program successfully converted Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves, demonstrating the effectiveness of disciplined infill drilling and technical de‑risking

  • Targeted 5,000 m of directional drilling planned for Pilar in 2026, subject to capital allocation and planning priorities, focused on depth extensions at the BA orebody and continuity within BFs orebody.

  • Company remains focused on operational stability, disciplined capital deployment, and sustainable long-term growth.

The updated Mineral Reserves at the Pilar Mine are distributed across the following orebodies:

  • BA Orebody: 66 koz (514 kt @ 3.98 g/t Au)

  • BFs Orebodies: 141 koz (1,211 kt @ 3.62 g/t Au)

  • SW Orebody: 33 koz (312 kt @ 3.27 g/t Au)

  • Torre Orebody: 18 koz (173 kt @ 3.24 g/t Au)

  • Other Orebodies: 29 koz (285 kt @ 3.14 g/t Au)

This distribution highlights the continued importance of the BA and BF orebodies as the principal contributors to the Pilar Mine's Mineral Reserve base, while also reflecting the broader contribution from multiple mineralized structures within the mine.

2025 Operational Performance Provides a Solid Foundation

Throughout 2025, the Pilar Mine remained Jaguar's sole operating asset and delivered consistent operational performance, producing 40,012 ounces of gold for the year, supported by stable metallurgical recoveries of approximately 89%.

Operational activities during the year were conducted alongside planned investments in underground infrastructure, including improvements to ventilation, exhaust, and safety systems, which temporarily influenced mining sequence in certain areas but are expected to support long‑term operational continuity, safety, and efficiency.

The Company views the performance of the Pilar Mine in 2025 as a demonstration of the robustness of the asset, providing a stable operating base while simultaneously advancing technical work required to support future growth.

2025 MINERAL RESERVES AND MINERAL RESOURCES

The Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves reported herein, and respective changes in inventory were consolidated based on estimates sourced from the technical reports listed in Table 3.

MTL Complex Mineral Reserves

A total of 572 koz of Mineral Reserves are attributed to the MTL complex, distributed among the Turmalina Mine Orebodies A, B, & C, the Faina zone and the Onças de Pitangui project.

Longitudinal sections shown in Figures 3, 4 and 5 illustrate the spatial distribution of the Mineral Reserves and actual or planned development associated to the Turmalina Mine, the Faina zone and the Onças de Pitangui project.

Mineral Reserves were estimated by Jaguar staff, reviewed and validated by SLR's Qualified Persons.

Turmalina Mine

The Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves for Orebodies A, B, & C currently total 128 koz (1,225 kt @ 3.26 g/t Au), unchanged from the previous disclosure. These reserves are allocated as follows: Orebody A holds 29 koz (226 kt @ 3.95 g/t Au), Orebody B contains 30 koz (304 kt @ 3.04 g/t Au), and Orebody C comprises 70 koz (695 kt @ 3.12 g/t Au).

Faina Zone

The Faina zone contains 160 koz (1,019 kt @ 4.87 g/t Au) of Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves, unchanged from the previous disclosure.

Onças de Pitangui Project

The NI 43-101 Technical Report - Turmalina Mining Complex, Minas Gerais, Brazil by SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. (SLR) states that the Onças de Pitangui project contains Probable Mineral Reserves totalling 284 koz (2,122 kt @ 4.16 g/t Au), unchanged from the previous disclosure.

Caeté Complex Mineral Reserves

Pilar Mine

The 94 koz net increase in Mineral Reserves is underpinned by successful exploration and technical work completed in 2025, including:

  • Infill drilling, which improved geological confidence and supported the conversion of Mineral Resources into Mineral Reserves; and

  • Step‑out drilling, which expanded the interpreted limits of mineralization, particularly within the BA, BFs, and SW orebodies.

Drilling results from the BA Zone confirmed the presence of high‑grade mineralization with strong geological and structural continuity, reinforcing confidence in the Pilar Mine's ability to sustain and potentially expand its Mineral Reserve base through disciplined exploration. As a result, the updated estimates of the Pilar Mine Mineral Reserves total an amount of 286 koz (2,494 kt @ 3.57 g/t Au), a 94 koz net increase in the Proven & Probable Mineral Reserve categories if compared to the 192 koz (1,536 Kt @ 3.89 g/t Au) of Proven & Probable Mineral Reserves.

Mineral Reserves at the Pilar Mine are divided between Orebody BA (66 koz, 514 kt @ 3.98 g/t Au), Orebodies BFs (141 koz, 1211 kt @ 3.62 g/t Au), Orebody SW (33 koz, 312 kt @ 3.27 g/t Au), Orebody Torre (18 koz, 173 kt @ 3.24 g/t Au) and others (29 koz, 285 kt @ 3.14 g/t Au).

The Measured and Indicated Resources in the Caete Complex increased by 138 koz or 25%, and Inferred Resources Increased by only 34 koz or 7% due to the infill drilling focus in 2025.

The NI 43-101 Technical Report on Caete Mineral Complex December 31,2025 will be available on SEDAR as of March 31, 2026.

The Longitudinal sections shown in Figure 6 illustrate the spatial distribution of the Mineral Reserves and actual development at the Pilar Mine.

Mineral Resources

The Company's consolidated Mineral Resources as at December 31, 2025, include the updated Mineral Resources for the Pilar Mine, along with the unchanged Mineral Resources from previous disclosures for the Turmalina Complex, the Roça Grande, Santa Isabel and Marzagão mines, and the Córrego Brandão and Bahu deposits.

Consolidated Measured and Indicated Mineral Resources increased by 8% to 1,797 koz (13,575 kt @ 4.12 g/t Au). Inferred Mineral Resources increased by 2% to 1,709 koz (14,732 kt @ 3.61 g/t Au) which is a 34 koz net increase over the prior year.

Mineral Resources were estimated by Jaguar staff, reviewed and validated by SLR's Qualified Persons.

Building on the technical success achieved in 2025, Jaguar plans to advance a targeted directional drilling program of approximately 5,000 metres at the Pilar Mine in 2026, subject to ongoing planning and capital allocation priorities.

The objectives of the 2026 exploration program include:

  • Testing extensions of the BA orebody at depth;

  • Evaluating continuity within the BFs and adjacent structures; and

  • Improving geological confidence in deeper portions of the mine.

This program is designed to investigate a conceptual exploration target exceeding 500 koz of gold. The Company cautions that this target is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and that there is no certainty that further exploration will result in the delineation of additional Mineral Resources or Mineral Reserves.

Consistent with corporate guidance, Jaguar remains focused on operational stability at Pilar, disciplined capital deployment, and the advancement of exploration programs that have the potential to support long‑term value creation, rather than short‑term production growth.

Quality Control

All sampling and samples utilized at Jaguar for Mineral Resource and or Mineral Reserves estimation uses a quality-control program that includes insertion of blanks and commercial standards in order to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis.

HQ, NQ, and BQ size drill core is sawn in half with a diamond saw. Samples are selected for analysis in standard intervals according to geological characteristics such as lithology and hydrothermal alteration. Rock channel sampling of the underground development follows the same standard intervals as for the drill core.

Half of the sawed sample is forwarded to the analytical laboratory for analysis while the remaining half of the core is stored in a secure location. The drill core and rock chip samples for resource-reserve conversion and grade control samples are transported for physical preparation and analysis in securely sealed bags to the Jaguar in-house laboratory located at the company´s Caeté Complex, Caeté, Minas Gerais. Growth exploration samples are sent to the independent ALS Brazil (subsidiary of ALS Global) laboratory located in Vespasiano, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The analysis of these exploration samples is conducted at ALS Global's respective facilities (fire assay is conducted by ALS Global in Lima, Peru, and multi-elementary analysis is conducted by ALS Global in Vancouver, Canada). ALS has accreditation in a global management system that meets all requirements of international standards ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ISO 9001:2015. All major ALS geochemistry analytical laboratories are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for specific analytical procedures.

For a complete description of Jaguar's sample preparation, analytical methods, and QA/QC procedures, please refer to "Technical Report on the Roça Grande and Pilar Operations, Minas Gerais State, Brazil", a copy of which is available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedarplus.ca.

Mineralized material for each orebody was classified into the Measured, Indicated, or Inferred Mineral Resource categories based on the search ellipse ranges obtained from the variography study, the observed continuity of the mineralization, the drill hole and channel sample density, and previous production experience from these orebodies.

The Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves. For those portions of the Mineral Resources that comprise the Mineral Reserve, stope design wireframes were used to constrain the outlines of the Mineral Resource volumes.

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 south-eastern 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 Mining is the second largest operating gold company tenement holder in the Iron Quadrangle, holding or having access to approximately 46,600 hectares distributed among 56 mining and exploration titles (22,900 hectares held by Jaguar and 23,800 hectares held by Iamgold).
