success of exploration, development and mining activities, currency fluctuations, capital requirements, project studies, mine

forward-looking information contained herein, including, among other things, assumptions about the estimated timeline and for the
development of the drill program at the Turmalina Gold Mine and its mineral properties; the supply and demand for, and the level
and volatility of the price of, gold; the accuracy of reserve and resource estimates and the assumptions on which the reserve and
resource estimates are based; the receipt of necessary permits; market competition; ongoing relations with employees and impacted
communities; and political and legal developments in any jurisdiction in which the Company operates being consistent with its
current expectations including, without limitation, the impact of any potential power rationing, tailings facility regulation,
exploration and mine operating licenses and permits being obtained and renewed and/or there being adverse amendments to mining or
other laws in Brazil and any changes to general business and economic conditions.
Forward-looking information involves a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including among others: the risk of
Jaguar not meeting the forecast plans regarding its operations and financial performance; uncertainties with respect to the price
of gold, labor disruptions, mechanical failures, increase in costs, environmental compliance and change in environmental
legislation and regulation, weather delays and increased costs or production delays due to natural disasters, power disruptions,
procurement and delivery of parts and supplies to the operations; uncertainties inherent to capital markets in general (including
the sometimes volatile valuation of securities and an uncertain ability to raise new capital) and other risks inherent to the
gold exploration, development and production industry, which, if incorrect, may cause actual results to differ materially from
those anticipated by the Company and described herein. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of
gold exploration, development, mining and production, including without limitation environmental hazards, tailings dam failures,
industrial accidents and workplace safety problems, unusual or unexpected geological formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding,
chemical spills, and gold bullion thefts and losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance, or the inability to obtain insurance,
to cover these risks). Although we have attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or
results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions,
events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those
anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
