JAGUAR MINING ANNOUNCES PRIVATE PLACEMENT OF UNITS OF

SENIOR SECURED NOTES AND WARRANTS

Toronto, Ontario, Canada – September 14, 2015 – Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Corporation") (TSX-V: JAG) announced today that it intends to complete a non-brokered private placement (the "Offering") of units ("Units") at a price of US$1,000 per Unit, with each Unit to be comprised of US$1,000 principal amount of senior secured notes of the Corporation (the "Notes") and  common share purchase warrants ("Warrants"), to be determined in the context of the market, for aggregate proceeds of up to US$20,000,000. The Notes will mature on the day that is five years following the closing date of the Offering (the "Closing Date") and will carry a 10% cash coupon and a 5% payment-in-kind coupon (the "PIK Coupon") that will be satisfied by the issuance of additional Notes, which coupons shall be payable on a quarterly basis. Each Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one common share of the Corporation (each a "Common Share") at an exercise price to be determined in the context of the market for a period of five years from the Closing Date.

The Notes will not be redeemable before the day that is 12 months plus one day after the Closing Date (the "Call Date"). With 30 days written notice, on and after the Call Date and prior to the maturity date of the Notes, the Notes will be redeemable in cash in whole or in part from time to time at the Corporation's option at a price of: (i) 110% of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding within year one after the Call Date, (ii) 105% in year two after the Call Date, and (iii) 101% thereafter, plus, in each case, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

The Notes will be governed by an indenture containing provisions and covenants including, but not limited to, restricted payments and limitations on capital expenditures and further indebtedness.

Pursuant to the Offering, certain insiders of Jaguar, namely Outrider Management, LLC ("Outrider Management") and Dupont Capital Management Corp. ("Dupont Capital"), have advised Jaguar that they intend to subscribe for Units in the aggregate amounts of up to US$6,500,000 and US$1,500,000, respectively.

The special committee of the board of directors of Jaguar, which was established in December 2014 to initiate a strategic review process and explore strategic alternatives with the objective of maximizing value for the Corporation's shareholders, unanimously passed a resolution approving the Offering, which includes the proposed subscriptions of Outrider Management (the "Outrider Subscription") and Dupont Capital (the "Dupont Subscription").

Since Outrider Management and Dupont Capital are "related parties" (within the meaning of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")), each of the Outrider Subscription and the Dupont Subscription is a "related party transaction" (within the meaning of MI 61-101), which would require Jaguar to obtain a formal valuation for, and minority approval of, the Outrider Subscription and the Dupont Subscription, in the absence of exemptions for such requirements.

For both the Outrider Subscription and the Dupont Subscription, the Corporation is exempt from the formal valuation requirement pursuant to section 5.5(b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that no securities of Jaguar are listed or quoted on a market specified in that provision.

With respect to the Dupont Subscription, the Corporation is exempt from the minority approval requirement pursuant to section 5.7(b) of MI 61-101 on the basis that neither the fair market value of the Units being distributed to Dupont Capital, nor the consideration to be received by the Corporation for those Units, exceeds C$2,500,000, in addition to satisfying the other criteria therein. With respect to the Outrider Subscription, Jaguar intends to apply to the Ontario Securities Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange for an exemption to allow it to obtain the requisite minority approval by way of written approval from the majority of the minority shareholders rather than by holding a shareholders' meeting. This exemption is being sought on the basis that holding a shareholders' meeting is costly and would delay the closing of the Offering. Jaguar anticipates obtaining such exemptive relief prior, and as a condition precedent, to closing the Offering.

The Offering is expected to close on or about October 8, 2015. Completion of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions including receiving the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange, obtaining the exemptive relief from the Ontario Securities Commission and the TSX Venture Exchange and obtaining written consents from a majority of the disinterested minority shareholders.

Jaguar does not intend to list the Units, the Notes or the Warrants on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Notes, the Warrants and the Common Shares underlying the Warrants will be subject to a four month hold period pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws.

The Corporation plans to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repay in full the outstanding US$8.4 million credit facility held by Renvest Global Resources Fund c/o Renvest Mercantile Bancorp Inc. (the "Renvest Credit Facility"), with the remainder to be used for general corporate purposes and to advance asset optimization plans in conjunction with the Corporation's ongoing development and producing activities at its assets in Brazil.

This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities in any jurisdiction.
