TXG Torex Gold Resources Inc

Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG) reports the Company’s financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company will host a conference call tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM (ET) to discuss the quarterly results.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

“Torex had a solid start to 2022. Reliable production, combined with the stronger gold price and disciplined cost management, resulted in robust revenue and EBITDA generation. With 112,446 ounces of gold produced in the quarter, and quarterly production expected to be higher throughout the remainder of the year, the Company is well positioned to deliver on 2022 operational guidance.

“The operational and financial performance achieved during the quarter was once again matched by excellent safety performance. There were no lost time injuries, and by the end of March, our employees and contractors surpassed 8 million hours working without a lost time injury. Despite a resurgence of COVID-19 related cases in Mexico early in the quarter, the site successfully managed through elevated levels of absenteeism in January and February, delivering higher than expected production at budgeted costs.

“At the end of the quarter, we achieved a critical milestone with the release the Technical Report for the Morelos Complex, which highlights the long-term cash flow potential of integrated operations at ELG and Media Luna. With approval now received from our Board of Directors, the Media Luna Project will more than triple the existing mine life of the Morelos Complex and establishes the foundation for future growth as we continue to invest in drilling and exploration. In addition, Torex will become a significant producer of copper once Media Luna is in production, a metal which has very favourable forward looking market fundamentals.

“With the Technical Report released, our focus has shifted to bringing Media Luna into production on time and on budget. Development rates at the Guajes Tunnel are steadily increasing with advance of more than 1.5 kilometres at quarter-end. South Portal Upper is advancing to plan, and rates in South Portal Lower are beginning to improve as crews work through a section of challenging ground conditions. We have also started procurement for long-lead items including the Guajes Tunnel conveyor, process plant flotation circuits and regrind mills, and mine ventilation fans. Procurement for the combined diesel and battery electric underground mining fleet is set to begin over the coming weeks.

“There is no doubt that Q1 was both a productive and pivotal quarter for Torex, and I am proud of our team for yet again delivering exactly what we planned. Not only have we set the table to successfully deliver on guidance for 2022, we have also set the foundation for many more years of mining and long-term value creation at our Morelos Property more broadly.”

FIRST QUARTER 2022 HIGHLIGHTS

• Safety excellence continues: Exited March with a lost-time injury frequency of 0.12 per million hours worked and total recordable injury frequency of 1.69 per million hours worked, both on a rolling 12-month basis. At the end of March, the Company surpassed more than 8 million hours without a lost time injury.
• Gold production: Produced 112,446 ounces of gold. Quarterly production is expected to be higher over the remainder of the year as processed grades improve.
• Gold sold: Sold 108,012 ounces of gold at an average realized gold price1 of $1,876 per ounce, generating revenue of $207.7 million. The lag between production and sales reflects the timing of the last gold pour at the end of March and subsequent sale in early April.
• Total cash costs1 and all-in sustaining costs1: Total cash costs of $748 per ounce sold and all-in sustaining costs of $1,034 per ounce. Total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are expected to be lower over the remainder of the year, inline with stronger anticipated output and ongoing cost management to minimize the impact of inflationary pressures.
• Net earnings and adjusted net earnings1: Reported net earnings of $40.0 million or $0.47 per share on a basic basis and $0.46 per share on a diluted basis. Adjusted net earnings of $37.2 million or $0.43 per share on both a basic and diluted basis. Net earnings include an unrealized derivative loss of $8.2 million related to gold price contracts entered into during Q1 2022 to reduce downside price risk during the construction of the Media Luna Project.
• EBITDA1 and adjusted EBITDA1: Generated EBITDA of $103.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $110.7 million. EBITDA includes the unrealized derivative loss of $8.2 million included in net earnings.
• Solid cash flow from operations: Cash flow from operations totalled $46.7 million and $60.8 million prior to changes in non-cash operating working capital. Cash flow from operations is typically the weakest during the first quarter of the year given tax and royalty payments related to expenses accrued, but not paid out during the prior fiscal year.
• Free cash flow1: Free cash flow deficiency of $19.1 million reflecting seasonality of tax and royalty payments on cash flow from operations. Capital expenditures during the quarter total $65.3 million.
• Net cash1 and financial liquidity: Net cash of $233.4 million including $237.0 million in cash and $3.6 million of lease obligations, and no long-term debt. Undrawn $150 million credit facility, providing more than $387 million in available liquidity at quarter end.
• Approval of the Media Luna Project and Technical Report Released: Based on the results of the Media Luna feasibility study, included in an updated Technical Report for the Morelos Complex on March 31, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the development of the Media Luna Project, more than tripling the Morelos Complex life of mine to 11.75 years based on Mineral Reserves only. The Company also announced 2022 capital expenditure guidance specific to the Media Luna Project, as well as an updated multi-year production outlook.
• Continued growth in ELG Underground Reserves2: Reported a 20% increase in Proven and Probable gold reserves within the ELG Underground following a 15% increase in 2020. At year-end, the ELG Underground contained 494 thousand ounces of gold at an average gold grade of 5.74 g/t.
• Initial Mineral Reserves for Media Luna2: Initial gold equivalent Mineral Reserve of over 3.3 million ounces at an average gold equivalent grade of 4.54 grams per tonne, of which approximately 62% of gold equivalent estimate is attributable to gold, 33% to copper, and remainder to silver.

CAUTIONARY NOTE

Forward Looking InformationThis press release contains "forward-looking statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking information also includes, but is not limited to, statements that: the Technical Report highlights the long-term cash flow potential of integrated operations at ELG and Media Luna; the Media Luna Project will more than triple the existing mine life of the Morelos Complex and establishes the foundation for future growth as we continue to invest in drilling and exploration; Torex will become a significant producer of copper once Media Luna is in production, a metal which has very favourable forward looking market fundamentals; our focus has shifted to bringing Media Luna into production on time and on budget; South Portal Upper is advancing to plan, and rates in South Portal Lower are beginning to improve as crews work through a section of challenging ground conditions; procurement for the combined diesel and battery electric underground mining fleet is set to begin over the coming weeks; the Company has set the table to successfully deliver on guidance for 2022 and the Company has also set the foundation for many more years of mining and long-term value creation at our Morelos Property more broadly; total cash costs and all-in sustaining costs are expected to be lower over the remainder of the year, in line with stronger anticipated output and ongoing cost management to minimize the impact of inflationary pressures; and gold price contracts were entered into during Q1 2022 to reduce downside price risk during the construction of the Media Luna Project. Generally, forward-looking information and statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “plans,” “expects,” or “does not expect,” “is expected,” or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results “will”, “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “on track,” or “well positioned to” occur.
