What are your key goals for the next 3 months?:
In the last quarter of 2026, Jaguar Mining has several goals: (1) bringing its Turmalina Mine back up to full operating rate, (2) completing a 5,000 meter directional drilling program at its Pilar Mine to asses the potential below the current 1.1 km depth, (3) completing sufficient development work at its Santa Isabel Mine to begin production in 2027 , (4) receiving the final permit required for construction to start at the Onças de Pitangui development project.

What are your key goals for the next 6 months?:
Over the next 6 months (Q4 2026 and Q1 2027), Jaguar Mining anticipates undertaking the acquisition of a gold producer of equal size and future production profile.

What are your key goals for the next 12 months?:
Jaguar's primary goal is to produce over 70,000 ounces of gold by the end of 2027.

What do you think makes your company such a compelling investment?:
Up to this point, Jaguar Mining has been a 'turnaround' story. The company has now not only turned back to productivity, it has set aggressive growth goals (organically and via acquisition) with a lofty ultimate goal of being a +250,000 producer in 5 years. This growth trajectory, in combination with the supporting gold prices and highly prospective exploration ground within haulage distance to one of three mining complexes makes Jaguar a compelling investment.
