Jaguar Mining Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

TORONTO, June 16, 2020 - Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG) announces that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted Jaguar's notice to make a normal course issuer bid (the "Bid") to purchase for cancellation up to 36,232,694 common shares in the capital of the Company ("Common Shares") in total, being 5% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at the date of Jaguar's notice to the TSX, to be transacted through the facilities of the TSX. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased pursuant to the Bid will be determined by management of the Company (the "Management"). The Bid will commence on June 18, 2020 and will terminate on June 17, 2021, or such earlier time as the Bid is completed or terminated at the option of Jaguar.

Purchases pursuant to the Bid will be made by PI Financial Corp. on behalf of the Company. Decisions regarding the timing of purchases under the Bid will be determined by Management based on market conditions, share price and other factors. Management may elect to not purchase any Common Shares under the Bid or may elect to suspend or discontinue the Bid at any time. Any purchases pursuant to the Bid will be financed from the working capital of Jaguar.

In accordance with temporary blanket relief announced by the TSX on March 23, 2020, daily purchases made by Jaguar through the TSX on or before June 30, 2020 may not exceed 413,537 Common Shares, representing 50% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares on the TSX for the six-month period ended May 31, 2020 (being 827,074 Common Shares). Following the expiry of such temporary relief on June 30, 2020, the number of Common Shares that can be purchased pursuant to the Bid may not exceed 206,768 Common Shares, representing 25% of the average daily trading volume of the Common Shares for the six-month period ended May 31, 2020. These daily maximums are subject to certain exceptions prescribed by the TSX, including the "block purchase exemption". The price that Jaguar will pay for any Common Shares under the Bid will be the prevailing market price on the TSX at the time of such purchase.

The Board of Directors of Jaguar believes that the underlying value of the Company may not be accurately reflected at times in the market price of the Common Shares. Accordingly, the purpose of the Bid is to enhance long-term shareholder value through the purchase and cancellation of Common Shares at a discount to the underlying value of the Company. Furthermore, the purchases by Jaguar will help mitigate the dilutive effects of any future potential issuances of additional Common Shares as consideration for capital raises, joint ventures or asset acquisitions.

A copy of the Form 12 (Notice of Intention to Make a Normal Course Issuer Bid) filed with the TSX in connection with the Bid can be obtained from the Company upon request without charge.

As of the close of business on June 11, 2020 (being the date of Jaguar's aforementioned notice to the TSX regarding the Bid), the Company had 724,653,890 Common Shares issued and outstanding.
