Torq Terminates Margarita Project Option, Retains Adjacent Concession

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – July 31, 2025 – Torq Resources Inc. (TSX -V: TORQ, OTCQB:

TRBMF) (“Torq” or the “Company”) announces it has elected to terminate the option to earn its interest

in the Margarita Project, Chile due to financial constraints and the Company’s increasing focus on the

US$48M Earn-in Option granted to Gold Fields on the Santa Cecilia copper/gold project.

The Company will continue to retain 100% interest in its La Cototuda concession which is surrounded by

Margarita and which the Company believes would be necessary for any future development of the

Margarita concessions. The concession is approximately 90 hectares and has minimal annual holding

costs and is free from any royalty burden. The Company has no material residual obligation relating to

Margarita. Capitalized accounting costs related to Margarita were previously written off and accordingly

this termination will have no material financial statement impact.

Shawn Wallace, CEO and Chair states, “As we continue to focus our exploration efforts on new major

discoveries at Santa Cecilia, eliminating the projects with large option payment requirements is in the

best interest of our shareholders given our available resources.”

As stated in the press release July 07, 2025, the Company has completed its inaugural drill program

under the joint venture with Gold Fields at the Santa Cecilia project. All drill samples have been sent to

the laboratory and the company looks forward to sharing results once they become available.
