Operational results are preliminary in nature and subject to final reconciliation. Financial and operational
results for the fourth quarter and year-end 2024 will be released after market close on Wednesday,
February 19, 2025. A conference call hosted by senior management will be held the following day at
9:00 AM ET.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:
"December was a difficult month for Torex with the loss of three colleagues at ELG Underground. In the
wake of the tragedy, operations were suspended for just over a week to allow for inspections by the
relevant government agencies. While operations have since resumed, our own internal investigation is
ongoing.
"With the temporary suspension of operations, we produced 103,795 oz of gold during the fourth quarter.
Against the backdrop of solid operational performance through the first three quarters of the year, full-
year gold production was 452,523 oz, putting us within the annual production guidance range for the sixth
consecutive year.
"Excluding the downtime in December, the operations performed well, with consistent performance at
the mill matched by continued strong mining rates at ELG Underground, where we expect further upside
in 2025 as we add some long-hole stopes into the mine plan. The decline in mining rates in the ELG
Open Pits was anticipated as we took the last blast in the main El Limón pit during the quarter, with the
smaller El Limón Sur pit expected to be exhausted during the first half of 2025.
"As we work to reset the bar on safety at Torex, the year ahead is set to be transformational as we
complete the Media Luna Project, commence development of EPO, further increase investment in
drilling and exploration, pivot back to positive free cash flow mid-year, and refine our return of capital
strategy, all with the goal of unlocking value and further enhancing returns for our shareholders."
