Production Update for the Third Quarter
In the third quarter of 2024, Jaguar Mining Inc. reported gold production results.

Comparison with Previous Year
When compared to the same quarter of the previous year, the gold production was slightly lower. Jaguar Mining produced 17,316 ounces of gold in the third quarter of 2023.

Processed Tonnage and Grade Control
Jaguar Mining processed a total of 173,940 tonnes of material during the third quarter of 2024. This was lower than the 207,982 tonnes processed in the third quarter of 2023. However, the company recorded a significant improvement in the grade of the ore processed. The average grade during this period was 3.67 grams per tonne (g/t), compared to 2.95 g/t in the same period last year.
The improvement in grade is attributed to the company’s emphasis on better grade control, which ensures that higher-grade ores are prioritized. Additionally, the contribution from the development of the Faina and BA zones further boosted the quality of the material processed.
Strategic Focus on High-Grade Ore
Jaguar Mining's strategic focus on extracting higher-grade ore reflects its commitment to maintaining operational efficiency. By concentrating efforts on areas with richer gold deposits, such as the Faina and BA zones, the company has been able to maintain strong production figures despite processing a lower volume of material.
