Jaguar is pleased to announce the discovery of a significant
copper discovery by its joint venture partner Corona Gold Ltd
("Corona") at the Mt Jukes Project in Tasmania. Jaguar holds
49% of the joint venture and is currently diluting to 20% as
Corona sole funds the current phase of exploration.
The Mt Jukes project is located within the Mt Read Volcanics
("MRV") just south of Queenstown on the West Coast of
Tasmania. The MRV hosts several world class deposits
including Mt Lyell (Cu-Au), Renison Bell (Sn) and Rosebery
(Zn-Pb-Cu-Au-Ag).
The Mt Jukes Project covers 185km2 of contiguous
tenure to the south of and abutting Vedanta's Mt Lyell Mine
and is just
1.7km from the Mt Lyell open cut wall,
covering some 30km of geological strike south of the mine.

Corona is currently concentrating its exploration on
copper-gold magnetite hosted deposits and commenced drilling
on the South Darwin Prospect late in 2011. The South Darwin
Project contains a number of prominent magnetic anomalies
over a north-south strike length of 4km with a volcanic
sequence adjacent to the Cambrian Darwin Granite.
Previous sampling of the historic Prince Darwin adit into the
South Darwin Prospect returned a channel sample result of 46m
at 0.5% Cu. Corona's first drill hole (SDD001) under the
Prince Darwin adit was designed to test mineralisation below
the adit and to intersect the northern end of the magnetic
anomaly.
SDD001 intersected highly altered magnetite-chlorite volcanic
rocks with intense
magnetite-chlorite-silica-carbonate-pyrite-chalcopyrite-fluorite
alteration and hydraulic breccias. Native copper was also
seen in the upper weathered parts of the hole.

Cross section showing location of SD001 (with magnetic susceptibility and lithology) and historic Prince Darwin aditResults were recently received back for SDD001 and an interval of altered volcanics assayed 122m at 0.4%Cu between 66 and 188m. The interval also showed elevated levels of gold (0.12g/t), silver (2.0g/t), cerium (1,351ppm) and lanthanum 714ppm. This interval is not the true width of the mineralisation as the orientation of the mineralisation has not been accurately established. Furthermore, this hole seems to have missed the main magnetic anomaly.

Corona have completed hole SDD002 from a site about 240m
south of SDD001, directed at the centre of the magnetic
anomaly. This hole of 200.2m was inclined at 45° to the east.
A further hole, SDD003 (147m) was drilled from the same site
inclined at 70° to the east.
Yours faithfully,
