TOREX GOLD REPORTS STRONG 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Generates $98 Million In Free Cash Flow1; Exits the Year with $256 Million in Cash and No Debt
(All amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated)
TORONTO, Ontario, February 23, 2022 – Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG)
reports the Company’s financial and operational results for the three and twelve months ended
December 31, 2021.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:
“Torex delivered another outstanding year of operational and financial performance in 2021, with the Company
meeting full -year operational guidance for the third year running. We achieved r ecord gold production of
468,203 ounces, driven by record milling rates as well as record underground mining rates. We met or beat
full-year cost guidance and delivered an impressive all-in sustaining margin 1 of 47%, despite cost headwinds
associated with inflation, COVID-19 and reagent consumption.
“This operational performance was met with equally strong safety performance , as we finished the year with a
lost time injury frequency of 0.14 per million hours worked, a benchmark in the industry. As at the end of January
2022, we surpassed 6.5 million hours worked without a lost time injury. This relentless focus on safety remains
foundational to our culture, our sustained operational excellence, and our ESG leadership position more broadly
– it really defines who we are.
“Record gold production in tandem with robust margins led to an impressive financial year-end result, with
adjusted EBITDA1 of $491 million and free cash flow1 of $98 million. As a result, the Company closed the year
with $256 million in cash and no long -term debt, which, together with an undrawn $150 million credit facility ,
provides us more than $405 million in available liquidity.
“The year ahead is pivotal for Torex as we continue to execute on our stra tegic plan. We are well on track to
release our updated Technical Report at the end of this quarter, which will include the feasibility study for Media
Luna, an optimized mine plan for ELG and integrated economics for the entire Morelos property. With the
strength of our balance sheet and a team that continues to deliver safe, consistent, and reliable production, we
are well -positioned to continue to maximize value at ELG, advanc e and de -risk Media Luna towards first
production in 2024 and grow our reserves and resources in order to create long term value for our shareholders.”
