(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - July 9, 2024) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) reports Q2 2024 gold production of 113,822 ounces ("oz") and gold sold of 113,513 oz. With strong production of 229,316 oz through the first half of the year, the Company is on track to achieve annual gold production guidance of 400,000 to 450,000 oz.

TABLE 1: PRELIMINARY SECOND QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Operational results are preliminary in nature and subject to final reconciliation. Financial and operational results for Q2 2024 will be released after market close on Wednesday August 7, 2024. 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:

"ELG continues to deliver safe, strong operational results. With second quarter gold production of 113,822 oz and 229,316 oz through the first half of the year, we're well on pace to deliver on production guidance for the sixth year in a row. The performance of the processing plant continues to impress, with recoveries above 90% for the second straight quarter and throughput rates remaining above 13,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") for the sixth consecutive quarter.

"As expected, the strip ratio of the open pits decreased compared to Q1 and the level of waste mined is expected to decline further through the balance of the year as the pits reach the end of their mine life mid-2025. Given the remaining life of the open pits, very little of this cost will be capitalized. Mining rates at ELG Underground returned above their steady state level of 2,000 tpd, averaging 2,145 tpd for the quarter.

"I'm proud of the work that the team at ELG is doing to safely deliver the results that our stakeholders have come to expect from us. In this period of sustained higher gold prices, the solid cash flow generation from ELG will see us confidently through the final months of the Media Luna build, quickly repaying the modest level of net debt we expect to accumulate and returning to strong free cash flow around this time next year. With operational results delivering to plan, the finish line at Media Luna quickly approaching, and exploration results that point to further resource expansion, Morelos has laid the foundation for us to grow our business in Mexico and beyond."
