Second Quarter 2025 Highlights
-
All financial and operating results for the second quarter reflect contributions solely from the Company's Pilar mine, its only operating mine during the period. This compares to the second quarter of 2024, when the Company had two operating mines: Pilar and Turmalina. The Turmalina mine remains temporarily suspended following a slump of material at the dry-stack facility that occurred at the MTL complex on December 7, 2024. Rehabilitation work to ensure the stability of the Satinoco pile is well underway, and the Company currently expects the resumption of operations at Turmalina in the first quarter of 2026.
-
Gold productionfor the quarter totalled 10,973 ounces, entirely from the Pilar mine, compared to 16,829 ounces from both Pilar and Turmalina in the second quarter of 2024. The year-over-year variance reflects a 14% increase in head grade, offset by a 45% reduction in ore tonnes processed. Production from Pilar increased by 11% compared to the first quarter of 2025, driven by operational efficiency improvements at the mine.
-
Gold soldfor the quarter was 10,986 ounces, compared to 19,022 ounces sold in the second quarter of 2024. Realized gold price¹ increased to $3,264 per ounce, representing a 39% increase from the $2,354 per ounce realized in the second quarter of 2024.
-
Cash operating costs¹ were $1,191 per ounce of gold sold and all-in sustaining costs(AISC)¹ were $1,814 per ounce, representing increases of 11% and 18%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2024. These increases mainly reflect lower sales volumes spreading fixed costs over fewer ounces.
-
Revenuefor the quarter was $35.8 million, reflecting contributions solely from the Pilar mine, compared to $44.8 million in the second quarter of 2024, when revenue included ounces produced and sold from both the Pilar and Turmalina mines. Despite the lower number of ounces sold, the impact on revenue was partially offset by higher realized gold price year-over year.
-
Operating costsfor the quarter were $13.1 million, compared to $19.9 million in the second quarter of 2024.
-
Net lossfor the quarter was $6.6 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to a net income of $13.5 million, or $0.17 per share, in the second quarter of 2024. Adjusted net income¹ for the quarter, excluding the impact of $23.5 million in expenses recorded due to the incident at the MTL complex, was $16.8 million, or $0.21 per share.
-
Free cash flow1for the quarter was $11.3 million, compared to $15.2 million in the second quarter of 2024. Free cash flow is calculated as operating cash flow plus asset retirement obligation expenditures, less sustaining capital. On a per-ounce bases, free cash flow increased to $1,031 per ounce of gold sold in the second quarter of 2025 compared to $801 per ounce of gold sold in the second quarter of 2024.
Cash position and working capital¹
-
As of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $48.3 million, representing a 4.1% increase from $46.4 million as of December 31, 2024 mainly reflecting the impact of higher realized gold prices.
-
As of June 30, 2025, working capital was $11.1 million, compared to working capital of $13.7 million as of December 31, 2024.
Luis Albano Tondo, CEO of Jaguar, stated_: "The second quarter of 2025 represented a pivotal period for Jaguar, as we continued to operate exclusively from our Pilar mine following the temporary suspension of Turmalina late last year. We were encouraged by Pilar's robust operational performance, driven by higher head grades and ongoing efficiency improvements. While total production was lower year-over-year due to Turmalina's absence, Pilar's output increased by 3% year-over-year and 11% compared to the first quarter of 2025. A significantly higher realized gold price partially offset the impact of lower volumes on our margins. Despite reporting a net loss for the quarter, adjusted net income of $16.8 million-excluding expenses associated with the MTL incident-highlights the strength of Pilar's operating performance. Additionally, strong free cash flow per ounce underlines our ability to generate value, even as a single-asset producer._
Subsequent to the quarter-end, we successfully resolved a significant environmental fine (see press release dated July 14, 2025), marking an important milestone as we advance toward the planned restart of Turmalina, targeted for the first quarter of 2026. We were also pleased to announce further exploration success at Pilar's BA zone (see press release dated August 5, 2025), where recent drilling returned a standout intercept of 12.80 g/t Au over 25.00 meters (320.00 GT - Grade x Thickness), confirming the presence of robust, high-grade mineralization at depth. With the BA zone expected to contribute approximately 50% of Pilar's future production, these results reinforce our confidence in the mine's long-term outlook.
These recent achievements underscore our commitment to disciplined execution, operational excellence, and the creation of sustainable, long-term value. Looking ahead, we remain focused not only on realizing the full potential of our existing assets through organic growth, but also on pursuing select strategic growth opportunities that could further enhance shareholder value and strengthen our position as a leading mid-tier gold producer in Brazil."

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
The Company has included the following Non-GAAP performance measures in this document: cash operating costs per ounce of gold sold, all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold sold, average realized gold price (per ounce of gold sold), sustaining capital expenditures, non-sustaining capital expenditures, adjusted operating cash flow, free cash flow, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted EBITDA and working capital. These Non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and, therefore, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company's performance. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. More specifically, Management believes that these figures are a useful indicator to investors and management of a mine's performance as they provide: (i) a measure of the mine's cash margin per ounce, by comparison of the cash operating costs per ounce to the price of gold; (ii) the trend in costs as the mine matures; and (iii) an internal benchmark of performance to allow for comparison against other mines. The definitions of these performance measures and reconciliation of the Non-GAAP measures to reported IFRS measures are outlined below.
