Mineral
Resources and Mineral Reserves have been estimated according to the
requirements of CIM Definitions and, in Scott Wilson RPA’s opinion, are
compliant with NI43-101 and appropriate for use in the Life of Mine
Plan.
|
·
|
Metallurgical
recoveries have been based on testwork, with the exception of the Queimada
Zone, for which recoveries were assumed based on similarity of the deposit
to Zones A&C. In Scott Wilson RPA’s opinion, this is a
reasonable assumption based on the proximity of the deposits and nature of
the mineralization, however, as Queimada represents 37% of the forecast
production, there is some higher risk associated with this
zone.
|
·
|
Prior
production experience from Zone B showed heap leach recoveries to be lower
than expected due to difficulty in establishing the oxide/sulphide
transition. Some risk remains in this area, however, Jaguar mitigated this
by processing the Zone B sulphide ore at the Queiróz
Plant. Mining at Zone B concluded in the fourth quarter of
2005.
|
·
|
Operating
and capital costs have been estimated from first principles, using
Jaguar’s extensive experience in the area, particularly with
contractors. The Project capital cost risk is minimal in that
the plant and pads are essentially complete. All mining is to
be done by contractors.
|
·
|
Permits
are in place for the Project, with the exception of Zone C, for which
permitting is being completed. This is in progress, and Scott Wilson RPA
does not consider the permitting to be a significant
risk.
|
1.
|
Monitor
the oxide/sulphide boundary closely in Zone B to ensure that the two types
of mineralization are sent to the correct
plants.
|
2.
|
Mine
and leach ore from Queimada as soon as possible in the mine life to
establish that leaching characteristics are in line with those forecast in
the Life of Mine Plan.
|
3.
|
Carry
out quarterly or semi-annual reconciliations between the resource model
for each zone and grade delivered to the heaps or the
plant.
|
4.
|
Continue
to expedite and monitor the permitting process for Zone
C.
|
5.
|
Consideration
should be given to widening the berms in the pit designs from 2.5 m, which
is relatively narrow, to 7.5 m by triple
benching.

TechnoMine
recommends Jaguar to proceed with the Paciência-Santa Isabel Project’s
implementation.
|
Ø
|
Although
the Paciência-Santa Isabel Project is feasible and robust at its current
size, it is our recommendation that the exploration efforts continue not
only at the Paciência-Santa Isabel Property, but also at other targets in
the Paciência Region. An increased resource base will give rise, via a
consolidated feasibility study, to increased reserves, which, in turn,
will significantly improve the financial performance of the
Paciência-Santa Isabel Project.
|
Ø
|
The
same or higher technical standards related to the front-end engineering
activities (such as exploration, metallurgical testwork, and conceptual
and basic engineering) and the required special front-end engineering
tests and studies should be maintained for the augmented
project.
|
Ø
|
The
recommended additional exploration and remaining front-end engineering
activities should start as soon as possible in order to support a
technically sound and smooth project size
transition.
|
Ø
|
The
basic project of the CIP tailings Detox Plant should start as soon as the
process route is defined, based upon the ongoing Degussa/CyPlus test work
being carried out by CyPlus at their research center facility at Hanau,
Germany (Purchase Order issued on April 24,
2007).

|
The
diamond drilling techniques and technical controls were performed to
industry standards and produced samples of adequate quality to develop a
database for resource estimation.
|
|
•
|
The
sampling method and approach, as well as the sample preparation and
analysis, were adequate for resource
estimation.
|
|
•
|
The
data verification program conforms to industry standards, but
noncompliance issues should be addressed on a timely
basis.
|
|
•
|
The
resource grade may be biased 5% to 10% low due to possible problems in the
SGS do Brasil Ltda. (SGS)
laboratory.
|
|
•
|
The
assumptions, parameters, and methodology used for resource estimation are
appropriate for the style of
mineralization.
|
|
•
|
Mineral
resources and reserves have been estimated according to the requirements
of CIM definitions and, in Scott Wilson RPA’s opinion, are compliant with
NI 43-101.
|
|
•
|
Stope
extraction does not include an allowance for ore loss, however, the
overall extraction of 89% should be
adequate.
|
|
•
|
Dilution
rates of 15% are reasonable, however, previous testing indicates that
dilution rates up to 20% may occur.
|
|
•
|
There
is some risk related to the size of the underground openings to be
backfilled.
|
|
•
|
The
use of the open pit for tailings deposition is nominally an expedient
alternative, however, a tailings pond facility will be required once the
open pit is filled.
|
|
•
|
Scott
Wilson RPA presented the following recommendations in the Scott Wilson RPA
Turmalina Technical Report:
|
|
•
|
Assess
the potential for lateral and downward extension of mineralization and
extend diamond drilling programs as
necessary.
|
|
•
|
Investigate
possible low bias in the SGS analytical
laboratory.
|
|
•
|
Establish
a QAIQC program to monitor laboratory results on a “per batch”
basis. Request copies of the laboratory in-house QA/QC
reports.
|
|
•
|
Establish
a standard operating procedure whereby, during the resource estimation
process, outlier assays are capped prior to
compositing.
|
|
•
|
Consideration
should be given to backfilling smaller openings on a more frequent
basis.
|
|
•
|
Investigate
the following items before placing tailings in the open
pit:
|
|
•
|
Crown
pillar stability to prevent inrush into the mine
workings.
|
|
•
|
Proper
sealing of the vent raise connection from the bottom of the open pit to
the mine.
|
|
•
|
The
effect of water on the tailings during the rainy season and the prevention
of liquefaction.
|
|
•
|
Proceed
with detailed design and cost estimation for the proposed tailings pond
facility.
|

|
AngloGold
Ashanti’s exploration program from 1979 to 1988, which included 9 holes
totaling 1,524 m and about 250 m of
trenches.
|
|
•
|
Jaguar’s
three-phase surface drilling program from 2004 to 2007, as summarized
below:
|
|
•
|
Phase I: 5,501 m drilled
in 35 new diamond drill holes. This program tested the continuity of the
mineralized body between the weathered zone and up to 200 m below the
surface.
|
|
•
|
Phase II: 3,338 m
drilled in 24 complementary holes to create a 25 x 60 m grid between the
surface and 100 m below and to test the continuity of the mineralized body
up to the 350 m-elevation above sea
level.
|
|
•
|
Phase III: in 2007 an
additional drill hole campaign was carried out, which consisted of 12,568
meters drilled in 46 drill holes. The results of this campaign were not
taken into account for the resource base evaluation stated in the original
technical report dated October 22, 2007 and being herein
amended.

Principles Issued and Implemented:

|
(i)
|
Section
3855, “Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement” provides
guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial assets, financial
liabilities and derivative financial instruments. This new
standard requires that all financial assets and liabilities be classified
as either: held-to-maturity, held-for-trading, loans and receivables,
available-for-sale, or other financial liabilities. The initial
and subsequent recognition depends on their initial
classification.
|
|
•
|
Held-to-maturity
financial assets are initially recognized at their fair values and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the period in
which they arise.
|
|
•
|
Held-for-trading
financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in fair value
charged or credited to the statement of operations in the period in which
they arise.
|
|
•
|
Loans
and receivables are initially recognized at their fair values, with any
resulting premium or discount from the face value being amortized to
income or expense using the effective interest
method. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the
period in which they arise.
|
|
•
|
Available-for-sale
financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair
value charged or credited to other comprehensive
income. Impairment losses relating to an other than temporary
impairment are charged to net earnings in the period in which they
arise.
|
|
•
|
Other
financial liabilities are initially measured at cost or at amortized cost
depending upon the nature of the instrument with any resulting premium or
discount from the face value being amortized to income or expense using
the effective interest method.
|
|
•
|
All
derivative financial instruments meeting certain recognition criteria are
carried at fair value with changes in fair value charged or credited to
income or expense in the period in which they
arise.

In
addition, the Company has elected to account for transaction costs related
to the issuance of financial instruments as a reduction of the carrying
value of the related financial
instruments.
|
|
(ii)
|
Section
1530, “Comprehensive Income”, along with Section 3251, “Equity” which
amends Section 3250, “Surplus”, require enterprises to separately disclose
comprehensive income and its components as well as net income in their
financial statements. Further, they require enterprises to
separately present changes in equity during the period as well as
components of equity at the end of the period, including comprehensive
income. Since the Company does not have any elements of
comprehensive income, the adoption of these sections did not have any
impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
|
|
(iii)
|
Section
3865, “Hedges” allows optional treatment providing that hedges be
designated as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of a
self-sustaining foreign operation. Since the Company does not
currently have hedging programs in place which qualify for hedge
accounting, the adoption of this section did not have any impact on the
Company’s financial statements.

During
2007 the Company determined that mining properties in production should be
classified in Property, Plant and Equipment (“PPE”). In
previous periods all mining properties including those in production were
grouped with Mineral Exploration Projects. Effective December
31, 2006 the Sabará property, which has been in production since 2004, was
reclassified to PPE. Effective January 1, 2007 the Turmalina
property, which commenced production in 2007, was reclassified to
PPE. See Note 9 for a breakdown of costs
reclassified.

On
March 27, 2006 the Company completed a public offering of 11,435,000
common shares at a price of Cdn.$5.25 per share for gross proceeds of
$51.4 million (Cdn.$60.0 million). Net proceeds received were
$47.4 million (Cdn.$55.4 million) after underwriters fees and legal costs,
closing costs and allocation of broker warrants were
deducted. The Company issued 343,050 broker warrants to the
agent of the public offering. The broker warrants are included
in the warrants schedule (Note 13(b)). Each broker warrant is
convertible into one common share at a price of Cdn.$5.25 expiring March
27, 2008. A value of $584,000 (Cdn.$683,000) was allocated to
the broker warrants and recorded as share issue
cost.

In
August 2006, Jaguar received approval from the TSX for a normal course
issuer bid to purchase up to the lesser of 2,291,655 common shares, being
5% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Jaguar at that time, or
the number of common shares equal to a maximum aggregate purchase price of
$1 million. The normal course issuer bid commenced on August
25, 2006 and terminated on August 24, 2007. During 2006, Jaguar
purchased 1,000 common shares at an average price of Cdn.$4.65 per common
share. During 2007 the Company purchased an additional 62,400
shares at an average price of Cdn.$5.80 per common share. These
shares have been cancelled.
|
|
(iii)
|
Deducted
from the common share balance at December 31, 2005 was an $800,000 loan to
BZI made October 2, 2003. In return for the loan, the Company
received a first option to purchase BZI’s interest in a certain mining
project. BZI used the proceeds of the loan to purchase 500,000
common shares of the Company from a third party. The loan was
fully repaid in 2006. Under CICA Emerging Issues Committee 132
- Share Purchase Financing, the loan was classified as a reduction to
shareholders’ equity and the repayment as an increase to shareholders’
equity. Included in the statement of deficit is interest income
of $nil (2006 - $34,000, 2005 - $40,000) relating to this
loan.

costs increased from $745,000 in Q4 2005 to $2.3 million in Q4 2006 to
$3.5 million in Q4 2007 (and increased from $4.5 million for the 12 months
ended December 31, 2005 to $7.4 million, 2006 to $10.3 million for the
same period in 2007). The increases were mainly due to legal and other
costs related to certain strategic initiatives conducted during the
quarter, and increased staffing needs related to the management of the
engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) department as a result of
the Company’s expansion of operations in Brazil. In addition,
costs increased due to the strengthening of the R$ against the U.S.$,
consulting fees related to the assessment of internal controls and
procedures, and management incentive
payments.

were amortized over the life of the loan. Deferred finance fees
of $191,000 were expensed in Q4 2006 ($698,000 for the 12 months ended

requirements under new accounting standards which require the costs
associated with the issuance of the related debt be amortized as interest
expense. A total of $879,000 of debt issuance and non-cash
costs were recognized as interest expense during Q4 2007 ($3.0 million YTD
2007).

income increased from $297,000 in Q4 2006 ($92,000 in Q4 2005) to $1.4

versus $1.6 million for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005)
due to interest earned on higher bank deposits. Interest income
was earned from deposits held in banks in Canada, the U.S. and
Brazil.

Section
3855, “Financial Instruments - Recognition and Measurement” provides
guidance on the recognition and measurement of financial assets, financial
liabilities and derivative financial instruments. This new
standard requires that all financial assets and liabilities be classified
as either: held-to-maturity, held-for-trading, loans and receivables,
available-for-sale, or other financial liabilities. The initial
and subsequent recognition depends on their initial
classification.
|
|
•
|
Held-to-maturity
financial assets are initially recognized at their fair values and
subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest
method. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the period in
which they arise.
|
|
•
|
Held-for-trading
financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair
value charged or credited to the Statement of Operations in the period in
which they arise.
|
|
•
|
Loans
and receivables are initially recognized at their fair values, with any
resulting premium or discount from the face value being amortized to
income or expense using the effective interest
method. Impairment losses relating to other than temporary
impairment are charged to net earnings in the period in which they
arise.
|
|
•
|
Available-for-sale
financial instruments are carried at fair value with changes in the fair
value charged or credited to other comprehensive
income. Impairment losses are charged to net earnings in the
period in which they arise.
|
|
•
|
Other
financial liabilities are initially measured at cost or at amortized cost
depending upon the nature of the instrument with any resulting premium or
discount from the face value being amortized to income or expense using
the effective interest method.
|
|
•
|
All
derivative financial instruments meeting certain recognition criteria are
carried at fair value with changes in fair value charged or credited to
income or expense in the period in which they
arise.

Section
1530, “Comprehensive Income”, along with Section 3251, “Equity” which
amends Section 3250, “Surplus”, require enterprises to separately disclose
comprehensive income and its components as well as net income in their
financial statements. Further, they require enterprises to
separately present changes in equity during the period as well as
components of equity at the end of the period, including comprehensive
income. Since the Company does not have any elements of
comprehensive income, the adoption of these sections did not have any
impact on the Company’s financial
statements.
|
|
(c)
|
Section
3865, “Hedges” allows optional treatment providing that hedges be
designated as either fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of a
self-sustaining foreign operation. Since the Company does not
currently have hedging programs in place which qualify for hedge
accounting, the adoption of this section did not have any impact on the
Company’s financial statements.
|
|
(a)
|
Financial
Instruments- Disclosure and
Presentation
|
|
In
December 2006, the CICA published the following two sections of the CICA
Handbook Section 3862 Financial Instruments- Disclosures and Section 3863,
Financial Instruments-Presentation. These standards introduce disclosure
and presentation requirements that will enable financial statement users
to evaluate, and enhance their understanding of, the significance of
financial instruments for the entity’s financial position, performance and
cash flows, and the nature and extent of risks arising from financial
instruments to which the entity is exposed, and how those risks are
managed.
|
|
(b)
|
Capital
Disclosures
|
|
In
December 2006, the CICA published section 1535 of the Handbook, Capital
disclosures, which requires disclosure of (i) an entity’s objectives,
policies and processes for managing capital; (ii) quantitative data about
what the entity regards as capital; (iii) whether the entity has complied
with any capital requirements; (iv) if it has not complied, the
consequences of such non-compliance. This information will enable
financial statements’ users to evaluate the entity’s objectives, policies
and processes for managing capital.
|
|
(c)
|
Inventories
|
|
In
January 2007, the CICA published section 3031 of the Handbook,
Inventories, which prescribes the accounting treatment for inventories.
Section 3031 provides guidance on determination of costs and its
subsequent recognition as an expense, and provides guidance on the cost
formulas used to assign costs to
inventories.

resources listed in Table 1 include mineral reserves listed in Table

rounding.
|
**
|
Estimated
resources and reserves as at January 1, 2008 are lower than indicated in
Tables 1 and 2, as such figures do not take into account 2007 production
or the amount of gold rejected to the tailings at the Turmalina
operations. 2007 Turmalina production was 347,000 tonnes at
5.10 grams per tonne containing 45,527 ounces of gold. In
addition, figures do not reflect test mining production at Paciência
during 2006 of 21,742 tonnes at 3.23 grams per tonne containing 2,260
ounces of gold.
