TXG Torex Gold Resources Inc

Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG) today released its 2021 Responsible Gold Mining Report (the “Report”), which is the Company’s most comprehensive Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) disclosure to date. The Report can be found on the Company’s website at www.torexgold.com.

The Report highlights the Company’s new organizational purpose statement: ‘To transform finite mineral resources into lasting prosperity by positively impacting all the lives we touch.’ It also confirms the Company’s commitment to fully implement the new Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM).

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

“I am pleased that this Report marks the first public disclosure of our organizational purpose statement, which was developed after much careful thought to choose the words that embody what we stand for as a Company. From our earliest days, we built our operation in Guerrero with a view to running a business that was certainly about generating profit – but also about minimizing our environmental footprint, building trust and partnership with local communities, creating prosperity for those who share stakes in Torex and fostering lasting economic development through community infrastructure and improvement initiatives.

“With the development of Media Luna and growth ambitions ahead of us, we will increase the positive impact we are making in Mexico and beyond and continue to demonstrate what responsible gold mining looks like.”

Jennifer Hooper, Chair of the Safety and Corporate Social Responsibility Committee of the Torex Board of Directors, stated:

“At Torex, we have truly embedded ESG governance throughout our organization, from the Board of Directors and our Executive Team, through to operations management and our front-line employees. Operating responsibly is at the core of who we are, and a condition of employment at all levels of the business. We recognize that responsible and sustainable mining starts with the Board of Directors, and we consistently look for ways to incorporate evolving ESG best practices to continuously improve our performance and to sustain our reputation as an industry leader when it comes to mining responsibly.”
