Jaguar Mining (OTCMKTS:JAGGF) (OTCMKTS:JAGGF) is a Canada-based junior gold producer, development and exploration company with operations concentrated in the Iron Quadrangle region of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The company is listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and trades in the United States on the OTCQX Best Market. Jaguar’s principal objective is to build a mid-tier gold producer through the optimization of its existing asset base and the continued exploration of its extensive land package in a historically gold-rich district.
Jaguar Mining’s core operations comprise three underground gold mines—Turmalina, Caeté and Pilar—each supported by on-site milling and processing facilities employing carbon-in-leach (CIL) technology. The company delivers gold doré to third-party refineries under long-standing offtake agreements. In addition to these producing assets, Jaguar holds a number of advanced exploration and development targets in the district, where ongoing drilling programs aim to expand mineral resources and convert them to reserves.
Since its founding in 1999, Jaguar has assembled its Brazilian portfolio through a series of acquisitions, including the Caeté complex in 2006, the Pilar operation in 2008 and the Turmalina mine in 2012. In 2018, the company successfully completed a creditor protection process under Canada’s Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, resulting in a strengthened balance sheet and a streamlined corporate structure. Jaguar is led by Chief Executive Officer Rodrigo Barbosa, who brings over two decades of experience in Brazilian mining and a focus on operational excellence.
With head offices in Vancouver and a regional office in Belo Horizonte, Jaguar Mining places emphasis on sustainable development, environmental stewardship and community engagement. The company continues to pursue strategic exploration, technical studies and potential acquisitions aimed at extending mine life and enhancing shareholder value in one of Brazil’s most prolific gold-producing regions.
