Torex Gold Resources Inc

Today, Torex announced that it has received approval from the Toronto Stock Exchange of its notice of intention to make a normal course issuer bid (NCIB) - otherwise knows as a share buyback. We believe this provides the Company with an effective means of returning capital to our shareholders in accordance with our corporate strategy. This also sets the stage for our broader capital return policy once we complete the Media Luna Project and pivot back to positive free cash flow in mid-2025.

We have just announced assay results from our ongoing drilling program at EPO, a deposit in close proximity to Media Luna that is becoming a key part of the ongoing growth story at our Morelos Property. Key highlights are as follows: ✅ Within the northeastern portion of the deposit, drilling has highlighted the potential to upgrade Inferred Resources to Indicated Resources, with the most notable intercepts from drill hole ML23-1009 which returned 10.67 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 36.6 metres, including 44.80 gpt AuEq over 7.6 m; and drill hole ML23-1001 which returned 6.82 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 18.9 metres;   ✅ Drilling directly south of the defined resource encountered mineralization, highlighting the potential to expand Indicated Resources in that direction. Most notably, drill hole ML24-1035D intercepted 5.70 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 7.5 metres;   ✅ Drilling has also confirmed the expansion of mineralization to the north of EPO and has defined a northwest corridor with at least 100 metres of vertical continuity. Notably, drill hole ML24-1017 intercepted 6.35 grams per tonne gold equivalent over 5.1 metres.   “We look forward to seeing the results from the second half of the 2024 program, which I expect will further indicate the potential to build on our resource inventory with the year-end mineral reserve and resource update and support the Company’s target of sustaining annual gold equivalent production between 450,000 to 500,000 ounces beyond 2030. With only a few months remaining before Media Luna delivers first production and the Company returning to a strong free cash flow position, EPO is setting the stage for the capital efficient growth potential we see within the Media Luna Cluster and across the whole Morelos Property.” – Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO   Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e3W8VwSN

This evening, Torex released our Q3 results – it was another solid operational quarter with exceptionally strong financial results. Key highlights are as follows:   ✅ Robust all-in sustaining costs margin of 52%   ✅ Generated $113 million in cash prior to spending $114 million on Media Luna, which means we generated nearly enough cash to cover our quarterly spend on the project ✅ Exited Q3 with available liquidity of $347 million, which is essentially unchanged from Q2   ✅ Produced 119,412 ounces of gold in the quarter – putting us at 348,728 ounces produced year to date – and well on track to meet annual production guidance for the sixth year in a row   ✅ With this solid financial and operational performance, we are comfortably positioned to fund the remaining spend on the Media Luna Project and pivot back to free cash flow in mid-2025   We want to thank all of our shareholders, partners and everyone that follows Torex for your trust and interest in what we are up to. Our continued strong performance supports strong value generation as we work to continue to build decades of mine life at Morelos, explore value accretive opportunities through our disciplined growth strategy and consider avenues to return capital to shareholders. Exciting things are ahead - please continue to follow us! 👍 https://lnkd.in/djmYU3wz

We have just released our quarterly update on the Media Luna Project. As at the end of Q3, we achieved 87% overall project completion, with engineering concluded, procurement down to final deliveries, underground development ahead of schedule, and underground and surface construction advancing. Notably, installation of the Guajes conveyor is almost complete, with commissioning expected imminently.   As overall project construction is nearing completion, our focus has shifted to refining the plan and schedule for the processing plant tie-in period, which has been rescheduled from November 2024 to February 2025 with first copper concentrate production expected in Q1. As a result, gold production guidance in 2024 has increased to 450,000 to 470,000 ounces, versus original guidance of 400,000 to 450,000 ounces.   Read more about our latest update here: https://lnkd.in/en__Y6NH

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that breast cancer is a leading cause of death for women in Mexico? Every October, we hold a Breast Cancer Awareness, Prevention and Early Detection campaign for all female employees and contractors in order to engage in dialogue about the importance of early detection and prevention.

Thank you CanCham Mexico for your partnership and support.

Over the past eight years, we have conducted a School Scholarship Program for Academic Excellence, and this week we celebrated with our employees at Minera Media Luna who benefited from this recognition for their children. During the past 2023-2024 school year, we awarded 235 scholarships worth $10,000 MXN each. Since the program began, we have invested $8,828,000 MXN in this program, with a total of 1,114 scholarships awarded. We believe that encouraging our employees' children to maintain their studies and pursue their hopes and dreams is an important and worthwhile investment. We congratulate all of the youth who received these scholarships for their perseverance and dedication to academic success.

For the third consecutive year, we are proud to have obtained the Safe and Healthy Working Environments Program (ELSSA) distinction, granted by the Mexican Institute of Social Security (IMSS). This recognition reflects our sustained commitment to continuously improve the safety and well-being of our employees, including the prevention of occupational accidents and diseases, the promotion of healthy lifestyles and the promotion of mental well-being and psychological safety in our workplace. It also reflects the genuine commitment of our entire team to health and safety and the constant focus of our operational leaders within our operations to implement systems and strategies to support the individual and collective wellness of our team. Another proud day for Torex and Minera Media Luna. #Safeworkplaces #MineSafety #MexicoMining #WorldMentalHealthDay
