/NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE USA./

TSX: JAG

TORONTO, June 26, 2019 /CNW/ - Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (TSX: JAG) is pleased to provide the following update on the non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of common shares in the capital of Jaguar ("Common Shares") that the Company announced on June 18, 2019:

• TSX Conditional Approval: The Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has conditionally approved the Offering, following its review of the Company's application to utilize the "financial hardship" exemption from the requirements to obtain shareholder approval for the Offering. The completion of the Offering remains subject to the TSX's final acceptance.
  
  
• Full Order Book: As at the date of this news release, the Company has a full order book for the USD$25 million Offering and therefore is no longer accepting new subscriptions for the Offering. This highlights the robustness of investor interest in the Offering, as well as both current shareholders' and new investors' support for the Company's strategic review process to enhance shareholder value and improve the overall production profile, operating efficiency and cost structure of its mineral projects. 
  
  
• Anticipated Closing Date: Based on the foregoing, the Offering is now expected to close on or about July 3, 2019, or such later date(s) as may be determined by the Company.

As previously announced on June 18, 2019, the Common Shares will be offered at a price per share of CAD$0.085 (or USD$0.0634 at a deemed exchange rate of US$1.00 = C$1.34). A finder's fee or commission will be paid to any finder or independent intermediary that: (i) identifies and solicits qualified investors that subscribe for the Offering; and (ii) is a registered dealer or advisor in accordance with applicable securities laws. For clarity, there will be no commission, referral or finder's fee payable in respect of subscribers that are identified and solicited by the Company or any of its affiliated entities. There will also be no commission, referral or finder's fee payable to a subscriber (or an affiliate thereof) in regard to the subscriber's own purchase of any Common Shares.

The Company currently anticipates that it will use the net proceeds of the Offering for: (i) capital improvements and infrastructure intended to improve production output and cost efficiencies at its operating gold mines in Brazil; (ii) advancing the Company's mineral exploration activities in order to increase reserves and expected mine lives; (iii) the repayment of a USD$7.85 bridge loan due July 15, 2019; and (iv) for general corporate and working capital improvement purposes. 

The TSX has informed the Company that the Company will be the subject of a remedial delisting review. It is routine for the TSX to require any issuer utilizing the financial hardship exemption to be the subject of a remedial delisting review. Pursuant to this delisting review, the TSX has required that, prior to October 16, 2019, the Company demonstrate to the TSX that the Company complies with all of the TSX requirements for continued listing after the completion of the Offering

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful. The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be, registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and applicable state securities laws.
