| Jaguar Mining is a gold producer in Brazil with operations in a prolific greenstone belt in the state of Minas Gerais. Jaguar is also engaged in developing the Gurupi Project in the state of Maranhão. Based on its development plans, Jaguar is one of the fastest growing gold producers in Brazil. The Company is actively exploring and developing additional mineral resources at its approximate 256,300-hectare land base in Brazil.
Jaguar is committed to increasing shareholder value through its aggressive expansion program, sizeable exploration effort and commitment to a best practices program where health, safety and environmental considerations receive the highest priority. Jaguar has no gold hedges in place thereby providing the leverage to gold prices directly to its investors.
Jaguar is a Canadian-chartered entity with its principal executive office in Belo Horizonte, Brazil and administrative office in Concord, New Hampshire, USA. The common shares of Jaguar are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol JAG.
Jaguar's Investment Appeal:
- Low risk profile - Brazil's stable democratic government, strong mining code and abundant natural resources provide a measure of safety compared to a number of gold operations located elsewhere in Latin America, Africa or other locations.
- Rapid production growth - Jaguar first began commercial gold production in 2005 and expanded production at a cumulative annual average growth rate of more than 50 percent from 2005 through 2010.
- Low discovery and conversion costs - identified high-grade brownfield gold deposits to relatively shallow depths reduces Jaguar's mineral acquisition and conversion to reserves costs.
- Proven exploration potential - mines in the district where Jaguar operates have proven continuity to depths of 2,400 meters. Jaguar's mineral resources are to an average depth of less than 400 meters.
- Outstanding infrastructure - with its operations near Belo Horizonte, a city of four million people, Jaguar is able to source trained personnel, power, equipment, and the permits and licenses it requires to develop and conduct its operations. Moreover, Jaguar's local team of over 1,800 employees live at home in close proximity to schools, medical facilities and are active in their communities, which Jaguar supports through various outreach programs.
- Experienced local management team - Jaguar's local senior management team have centuries of collective experience operating in the mining region where Jaguar operates. Their ability to reach any of Jaguar's operations on a daily basis is invaluable to help resolve issues in a timely manner. Very few mining companies possess this unique benefit.
