Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:
"As expected, Q2 was anything but a typical quarter for Torex as we ramped up operations following the
restart of our processing operations in late March and declared commercial production at Media Luna
on May 1
st
. In June, with operations hitting their stride, we officially returned to positive free cash flow in
the month, paving the way for expected positive free cash flow at Morelos for the third quarter and
consistently thereafter.
"Importantly, amid all the activity associated with the ramp up, there were no lost-time injuries in the
quarter as we continued to implement our Next Level Safety program and reset the bar on safety
leadership.
"The first half of Q2 was largely as expected in terms of the ramp-up period, with production driven by
gradually improving throughput rates and recoveries in the processing plant. However, towards the end
of May, we experienced a capacitor failure in the ball mill e-house, which resulted in ten days of
unplanned downtime as we awaited delivery of a replacement capacitor. This particular part was on the
list of identified and ordered critical spares associated with the new Media Luna infrastructure, but we
had not yet taken delivery. Since this failure, the operational risk associated with not having available
critical spares has been substantially addressed.
"The month of June has truly set the stage for what is to come through the remainder of the year and into
2026, with production of over 37,000 gold equivalent ounces for the month and plant throughput rates
exceeding 11,100 tonnes per day ("tpd"). Operations in June also demonstrated the flexibility of the
upgraded processing plant, processing most of the ore from the final phase of open pit mining and
bypassing flotation, then transitioning back to underground feed and flotation in early July. At Media
Luna, mining rates reached an average of more than 5,300 tpd in June, with throughput expected to
increase through the back half of the year with the completion of two additional ore passes and
completion of the paste plant which is currently in commissioning. With development rates tracking
ahead of plan and 90% of planned stopes to be mined in 2026 now drilled off, we continue to anticipate
achieving the designed mining rate of 7,500 tpd at Media Luna by mid-2026.
"With strong operational momentum, production and costs are expected to show a marked improvement
in the second half of the year amidst a backdrop of robust gold, silver, and copper prices, supporting our
return to solid free cash flow generation. Further, with development of the access ramp for EPO now
underway, a steady cadence of exploration results to come, our all-cash acquisition of Reyna Silver
expected to close in August, and an inaugural return of capital policy expected to be announced in the
coming months, there is much for our shareholders to be excited about as we look toward the future."
