Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
Kinda surprised that no one posted this back when it was released.
Thought I was bad at the DD stuff ;-)
Anyways, just trying to balance the Friday downgrade from my previous post.
Link to the complete release is at the end where I snipped it (kinda long).
Did anyone happen to listen to the conference call?

Jaguar Mining Reports Q4 and FY 2010 Earnings
CONCORD, NH, Mar 21, 2011 (Canada NewsWire via COMTEX) -- JAG - TSX/NYSE Jaguar Mining Inc. ("Jaguar" or the "Company") (JAG: TSX/NYSE) reports its financial and operational results for the period ended December 31, 2010. The Company is also providing the date it intends to issue its preliminary Q1 2011 operating results and progress within this release. All figures are in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. FY 2010 Highlights Q4 2010 Highlights Summary of Key Operating Results The following is a summary of key operating results. ...<snip>... -- Revenue of $170.8 million, an increase of 21% over 2009.
-- Net loss of $23.8 million or ($0.28) per basic and fully
diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to
a net loss of $8 million or ($0.10) per basic and fully diluted
share for the same period in 2009. Adjusted net loss,
excluding special non-operating and non-recurring charges,
totaled $12.2 million or ($0.15) per share (See Non-GAAP
Performance Measures).
-- Gross profit of $12.4 million, a decrease of 71% from 2009,
largely due to higher operating costs caused by the stronger
Brazilian real and geo-mechanical operational issues at
Jaguar's Turmalina mining operation.
-- Gold production of 137,867 ounces at an average cash operating
cost of $732 per ounce compared to 148,742 ounces at an average
cash operating cost of $462 per ounce during 2009 (see Non-GAAP
Performance Measures). The primary reason for the decline in
production was primarily attributable to the geo-mechanical
problems at the Turmalina Mine during the second half of 2010.
The Sabará operation has been excluded from the 2009 figures as
it was placed on long-term care and maintenance during the
second half of 2009.
-- Cash generated by operating activities totaled $19.6 million, a
decrease of 39% from 2009.
-- Investments of $131.9 million in growth projects, an increase
of 54% from 2009.
-- As of December 31, 2010, the Company held cash, cash
equivalents and short-term investments of approximately $39.2
million. On February 9, 2011, the Company closed a $103.5
million private offering of convertible notes that increased
its cash and short term investments to $119.5 million as of
February 28, 2011.
-- Achieved underground development targets by completing 18.8
kilometers of development.
-- Commissioned the Caeté operation, Jaguar's third integrated
mining-processing facility. -- Revenue of $44.6 million, an increase of 13% over 2009.
-- Net loss of $9.5 million or ($0.11) per basic and fully diluted
share compared to a net loss of $29.4 million or ($0.36) per
basic and fully diluted share in Q4 2009. Adjusted net loss,
excluding special non-operating and non-recurring charges,
totaled $6.4 million or ($0.08) per basic and fully diluted
share compared to a Q4 2009 adjusted net loss of $3.7 million
or ($0.05) per basic and fully diluted share in Q4 2009. (See
Non-GAAP Performance Measures).
-- Gross profit of $2.8 million, a decrease of 73% from Q4 2009.
-- Gold production of 34,682 ounces at an average cash operating
cost of $762 per ounce compared to 39,891 ounces at an average
cash operating cost of $539 per ounce in Q4 2009 (see Non-GAAP
Performance Measures). The decrease in production from the
prior year was largely attributable to management's decision to
halt ore production in the Turmalina Ore Body A due to
geo-mechanical issues during the quarter and divert efforts to
forward development.
-- Cash generated by operating activities totaled $24,000, a
decrease of 98% from Q4 2009. Cash flow from operations,
excluding changes in non-cash operating working capital,
totaled approximately $3 million in Q4 2010 (see Non-GAAP
Performance Measures).
-- Investments of $22.6 million in growth projects in Q4 2010, a
decrease of 31% from Q4 2009.
Commenting on the 2010 performance, Daniel R. Titcomb, Jaguar's
President and CEO stated, "We faced a challenging year at our Turmalina
and Paciência operations where both production and cash operating costs
were adversely affected. Over the past eight months, our operating
teams have worked diligently to improve these operations into
healthier, more productive and sustainable mines. Turmalina required a
change in the mining method, which we completed in early-2011. At each
of our underground mines we have significantly increased the backfill
systems and development of the infrastructure, adding more stopes and
faces which adds to our flexibility. Through this effort, we now have
between 10 and 18 months of fully developed reserves, ready for mining
to support our 2011 production target. Our progress is in part tied to
recent management changes implemented in the operations. We expect
significant improvements as we move through 2011. As important, the
successful commissioning of our new Caeté operation, the third such
integrated mining complex we have built, should represent a significant
source of gold production and a platform for further growth for years
to come."
