Turmalina Drilling Intercepts Shallow High-grade Gold at Orebody C Defines Additional Mineralization Trend at Pontal South

Rhea-AI Summary

Jaguar Mining Inc. has released promising results from its exploration at the Turmalina Gold Mine Complex in Brazil. The drilling at Orebody CNW revealed high-grade gold intersections, including 14.81 g/t Au over 3.10m, indicating significant mineral potential. Similarly, the Pontal South exploration unveiled a new mineralized zone with notable grades such as 4.09 g/t Au over 11m. These findings suggest the potential for expanding the company's mineral resources and improving profitability as drilling continues to identify economically viable gold targets.

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2022 / Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX:JAG)(OTCQX:JAGGF) is pleased to announce results from exploration completed at its Turmalina Gold Mine Complex, located in the Iron Quadrangle in the state of Minas Gerais, Brasil. In - mine and mine-contiguous drilling at Turmalina is part of the Company's ongoing growth exploration strategy.

At Orebody C Northwest (CNW) drilling targeted shallow strike and depth extensions proximal to and accessible from underground development.

At Pontal South, drilling has defined a newly identified mineralized zone occurring in the gap area between the Pontal and Faina Areas. (Figure 1).

Drill intersections reported from both areas are outside currently defined mineral resource limits and highlight the potential to add additional mineral resources to the Company´s mineral resource inventory.

Vern Baker, President, and CEO of Jaguar Mining stated: "Our tenements surrounding the Turmalina Mine have always excited us with their potential. The exploration work and drilling at Pontal South continues to confirm the large-scale continuity of structure and mineralization starting at the Turmalina Mine, running through the Faina resource and on to the Pontal resource - a trend now estimated to be approximately three kilometers in length. The excellent intercepts at CNW demonstrate down plunge continuity of a zone that appears to be of mineable grade and thickness. Drilling at CNW and at Pontal South is continuing with the aim of further identifying potentially economic mineral resources, as well as supporting the extensive engineering and metallurgical work being done following the recent completion of infill drilling on the Faina mineral resource. Development headings have already commenced from workings in our C-Central portion of Orebody C into the CNW structure identified by this in-mine exploration drilling and highlighted in Figure A."

Turmalina Mine - Orebody C-Northwest (CNW)

At Turmalina - underground exploration diamond drilling of the Orebody C Structure intersected a series of higher grade "lenses" near current underground development and approximately 240m below surface. Geological and structural logging of drill core along with mapping of nearby underground development defined two higher-grade, structurally controlled mineralized zones. The mine has initiated development into this higher-grade area to better understand the structural controls and to allow further diamond drilling. Diamond Drill hole intersections are shown in Table 1 and presented in section and plan in figures 2 and 3.

Pontal South

At Pontal South, exploration diamond drilling targeting the area between the Faina Resource and Pontal Resource was initiated. This drilling has intersected a previously unrecognised mineralized structure. Diamond drilling targeted anomalies occurring directly on trend between the two resources (Figure 6).

To date, the mineralization at Pontal South found in these intersections corresponds to a prospective stratigraphic horizon that is more than 30m thick, with a strike length of 300m.

Drilling information and recent fieldwork suggest that the down-plunge continuity of the mineralized lenses is along the orientation azimuth of 70°, thus mimicking the average down-plunge orientation of the well-known economic zones at the Turmalina Mine. It has been estimated that the strike length for each individual lens may be up to several hundred meters. Ongoing diamond drilling at Pontal South is aimed at testing the mineralization continuity to depth assuming this 70°plunge azimuth.

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 southeastern 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 holds the third largest gold land position in the Iron Quadrangle with over 50,000 hectares.
