TOREX GOLD REPORTS Q2 2025 PRODUCTION RESULTS
Torex Gold Resources Inc. had Q2 2025 payable production of 82,856 ounces gold equivalent and sold 76,922 ounces gold equivalent. Year to date, payable production has totalled 142,486 ounces gold equivalent based on average market prices (145,343 ounces gold equivalent at guidance metal prices of $2,500 per ounce gold, $28 per ounce silver and $4.30 per pound copper). As a result, the company is now targeting to achieve the low end of annual payable production guidance of 400,000 to 450,000 ounces gold equivalent at guidance metal prices. (All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.)
Financial and operational results for Q2 2025 will be released after market close on Wednesday, Aug. 6, 2025.
Jody Kuzenko, president and chief executive officer 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. 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 10 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. 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 tonnes per day 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 per cent of planned stopes to be mined in 2026 now drilled off, we continue to anticipate achieving the designed mining rate of 7,500 tonnes per day 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 under way, 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."
