Torex Gold Reports Latest Drilling Results from ELG Underground
Results continue to indicate high-grade mineralization and the long-term potential of the deposit (All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 20, 2025) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) is pleased to provide remaining results from the 2024 drilling program and initial results from the 2025 drilling program at ELG Underground. The results support the Company's target of further extending the mine life of ELG Underground by identifying new zones of higher-grade mineralization, expanding resources within known areas, and replacing mined reserves. Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated: "Following many years of ongoing drilling success at ELG Underground, the deposit continues to impress and provide us with much optimism that we will be mining there for years to come. Building off the successful 2024 program wherein we replaced mineral reserves, this year's program aims to once again extend mine life while targeting to build out the mineral resource inventory, supporting our objective of sustaining production levels for the Morelos Complex above 450,000 gold equivalent ounces well beyond 2030. "Our exploration team continues to encounter high-grade mineralization as they step-out beyond the boundaries of known resources across several defined trends, furthering our understanding about how these trends are influenced by cross-cutting faults believed to be the main mineralization controls. A prime example of this is where recent drilling along the El Limón West Trend towards the El Limón Sur fault encountered 8.98 grams per tonne gold equivalent ("gpt AuEq") over 35.8 metres ("m"). "There is no doubt that the geology at the Morelos Property is prolific - with the completion of the Media Luna project in 2025, we are doubling down on exploration this year, drilling almost twice the metres relative to 2024 and increasing the budget by approximately 50%. With 48,000 metres of drilling targeted for ELG Underground this year, these initial results form a solid start to what I believe will be another excellent year of drilling success at ELG Underground." HIGHLIGHTS El Limón Sur Trend Central Zone: Holes SST-359 and LS-371 drilled at the intersection of the El Limón Sur Trend and the Z71 fault delivered multiple mineralized intercepts, most notably 12.18 gpt AuEq over 26.4 m at LS-371. Drill holes LS-370 and LS-359 confirmed the continuity of mineralization at depth with multiple high-grade intercepts, most notably 43.68 gpt AuEq over 10.3 m and 5.97 gpt AuEq over 26.4 m in drill hole LS-370. These holes show that mineralization in this area is comprised of at least three vertically continuous parallel mineralized structures along the El Limón Sur Trend that are open along strike and at depth down to 800 metres above sea level ("m.a.s.l."). A comprehensive follow-up drilling campaign is planned for 2025, aimed to explore the continuity of mineralization along strike, at depth, and to the south (Figures 2A and 2B). North Zone: The 2024 drilling program was successful in upgrading Inferred Resources to the Indicated category. Results encountered to date warrant a follow-up drilling campaign at depth down to the elevation of the Guajes Tunnel, aimed at increasing Inferred Resources as part of the year-end 2025 reserve and resource update (Figure 2C). El Limón West Trend The deepest intercept of drill hole LS-374 shows discrete, high-grade mineralization (19.57 gpt AuEq over 2.2 m) around the elevation of the Guajes Tunnel (~550 m.a.s.l.), indicating that the vertical extension of the mineralization likely reaches below this level (Figure 3). Drilling returned multiple high-grade intercepts stepping out of the current resource towards the El Limón Sur fault, including drill holes LS-351 (8.98 gpt AuEq over 35.8 m) and LS-373 (10.77 gpt AuEq over 5.8 m and 5.34 gpt AuEq over 9.0 m). These and other results from step-out drilling in the area show that the current resource is open in all directions and will be a focus of further investigation this year, with a view to confirm mineralization continuity and add new Inferred Resources (Figure 3). ELG UNDERGROUND DRILLING PROGRAM The primary objective of the current ELG Underground drilling program is to increase the Inferred Resource inventory and replace mined reserves to support sustaining production for the Morelos Complex above 450,000 AuEq ounces ("oz") per year beyond 2030. The program is focused on identifying high-grade mineralization extensions along the El Limón Sur, El Limón Deep, El Limón West, and Sub-Sill trends. Torex has budgeted $12 million towards drilling at ELG Underground in 2025. Drilling is progressing well with four rigs currently working in the area. Assay results presented in this news release include those for the 9,149 m drilled during 2024 that were received after the cutoff date for inclusion in the year-end 2024 mineral reserve and mineral resource update as well as assay results from the first 8,813 m of the 48,000 m of drilling planned for 2025. The focus for the first quarter of 2025 was primarily on the Advanced Exploration program, targeting extensions of existing resources at El Limón Sur and El Limón West (Figure 1). Drilling results confirm the grades and continuity of mineralization within the resource and show compelling potential to extend mineralization. Detailed drill results are reported in Table 3 (El Limón Sur Trend), Table 4 (El Limón West Trend), Table 5 (El Limón Deep Trend), and Table 6 (Sub-Sill Trend); previously reported drill holes are reported in Table 7. AuEq grades use the same metal prices ($1,650/oz gold ("Au"), $22/oz silver ("Ag"), and $3.75/lb copper ("Cu")) and metallurgical recoveries (90% Au, 86% Ag, and 93% Cu) used in the current mineral resource estimate for ELG Underground (effective date of December 31, 2024) and has been applied to the assay results for newly published drill holes as well as previously published drill holes. The gold equivalent grade calculation used is as follows: AuEq (gpt) = Au (gpt) + Ag (gpt) * 0.0127 + Cu (%) * 1.6104). Figure 1: Plan view of ELG Underground showing the main mineralized trends that were the primary focus for drilling in late 2024 and Q1 2025 To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: EL LIMÓN SUR TREND (FIGURES 2A, 2B, and 2C) Drilling along the El Limón Sur Trend has been focused in the central and north zones, near the trend's intersections with the Z71 and La Flaca faults, respectively (Figure 2A). The goal is to expand the central zone at depth and to the south, as well as to extend the north zone at depth beyond the elevation of the Guajes Tunnel (~400 m.a.s.l. or 200 m below the current resource boundary). Most of the holes drilled in these areas have encountered favorable alteration and mineralization zones, supporting the potential for resource expansion. The multiple high-grade intercepts found at the central zone, notably in drill holes SST-359, LS-371 and also found in deeper drill holes LS-370 and LS-359 (Table 1, Figure 2B), show that mineralization in this area is comprised of at least three vertically continuous parallel mineralized structures along the El Limón Sur Trend of up to 26.4 m at 12.18 gpt AuEq (drill hole LS-371). High-grade mineralization is potentially open along strike and at depth down to 800 m.a.s.l., controlled by the intersection of the El Limón Sur Trend and the Z71 fault (Figures 2A and 2B). These results warrant follow-up drilling this year, aimed at testing the mineralization continuity along strike, at depth, and to the south. At the north zone, drilling to test the continuity of mineralization towards the central zone returned favourable results (Figure 2C). Drilling at depth (LS-369) also encountered mineralization at 500 m.a.s.l., the continuity of which will be a focus of further drilling this year.

EL LIMÓN WEST TREND (FIGURE 3) Drilling targeting the expansion of resources along the southern extension of the El Limón West Trend has returned multiple high-grade intercepts. Most notably, drill holes LS-351 (8.98 gpt AuEq over 35.8 m and 6.18 gpt AuEq over 2.8 m), LS-352 (7.35 gpt AuEq over 7.7 m), and LS-373 (10.77 gpt AuEq over 5.8 m) indicate that mineralization is open in all directions. Additionally, drill hole LS-374 (19.57 gpt AuEq over 2.2 m) shows a discrete, high-grade intercept proximal to the elevation of the Guajes Tunnel (~550 m.a.s.l.). This indicates the potential of vertical continuity of mineralization for over 150 m at depth from the base of the current resource. These results warrant follow-up drilling this year aimed to confirm mineralization continuity to the north and south of the El Limón Sur fault and at depth down to the level of the Guajes Tunnel. Along the northern extension of the El Limón West Trend, the follow-up hole LS-367 was drilled to explore for the source of previously reported shallow mineralized intercepts in LS-316 (4.55 gpt AuEq over 4.5 m; previously reported, see Table 7 for more information) and LS-317 (3.96 gpt AuEq over 3.9 m; previously reported, see Table 7 for more information), and identified favorable alteration and mineralization at surface. The hole intersected a narrow zone of quartz veinlets, although the associated mineralization was weak. Further geological work will be carried out during 2025 to define follow-up drilling in this area.

EL LIMÓN DEEP TREND Along the El Limón Deep Trend, drilling has been focused on the western and central portions of the mineralized trend, with the objectives of upgrading Inferred Resources and evaluating the continuity of alteration and mineralization below 650 m.a.s.l. Results to date show relatively weak alteration in the area which indicates that mineralization may be limited at depth. However, potential remains towards the trend's intersection with the El Limón West Trend as a favourable mineralization control, which will be a focus for drilling through the remainder of the year. Drilling has also been focused on upgrading and expanding Inferred Resources in the southwest-plunging mineralized zone towards the trend's intersection with El Limón West Trend. Only drill hole LDUG-392 (6.05 gpt AuEq over 5.5 m) of the three completed holes in this area encountered mineralization. SUB-SILL TREND Recent Advanced Exploration drilling along the Sub-Sill Trend has been primarily focused on its intersection with the Z71 fault. Mineralization has been encountered at depths around 500 m.a.s.l., indicating that this area remains open at depth. In addition, drilling along the northern extension of the trend encountered mineralization north of the La Flaca fault, highlighting the potential for resource extensions beneath the El Limón Open Pit and the mineralized intercepts of drill hole LDUG-394 (5.82 gpt AuEq over 2.9 m and 7.34 gpt AuEq over 3.7 m) over an unexplored area of approximately 150 m of vertical extension. ELG MINE COMPLEX GEOLOGY The ELG Mine Complex, located in the central part of the Guerrero Gold Belt in southwest Mexico, is hosted in the Mesozoic carbonate-rich Morelos Platform which has been intruded by Paleocene granodiorite stocks, sills, and dikes, and the uplifting of the block close to surface by maar-diatreme complexes. Skarn-hosted gold mineralization develops along contacts of the intrusive rocks and carbonate-rich sedimentary rocks of the Cuautla and Morelos Formations, as well as along the footwall contact of the Mezcala Formation. At depth, the mineralization has a strong structural control related to the main stages of deformation, with the collision of allochthonous terrain being responsible for the major north-south faults, while the almost east-west faulting is associated with the beginning of the subduction process. Gold mineralization at ELG occurs in spatial association with a skarn body that was developed along a two-kilometre-long corridor following the northeast contact of the ELG granodiorite stock. The skarn zone that occurs at the marble stratigraphic level of the Morelos Formation is in contact with hornfels developed in the Mezcala Formation. At El Limón, skarn mineralization is also structurally controlled by north-south and north-east trending faults. Early-stage deposition corresponds to skarn alteration and mineralization at ELG and is fairly typical of calcic gold-skarn systems. Zones of coarse, massive, garnet-dominant skarn appear within and along the stock margin, with fine-grained pyroxene-dominant skarn more common at greater distances from the contact with the stock. Significant gold mineralization at ELG is spatially associated with the skarn, preferentially occurring in pyroxene-rich exoskarn but also hosted in garnet-rich endoskarn that has been affected by retrograde alteration, which suggests that the most important gold event is strongly related to bismuth, late stage, and of epithermal origin. Dikes and sills are found to crosscut the hornfels and marble along the structural trends mentioned above and are spatially associated with the skarn formation. In some cases, these are the control of main gold mineralization stage at depth. The style of mineralization at the El Limón Deep, El Limón Sur, Sub-Sill, and El Limón West trends is characterized by gold, with locally high silver and copper grades. Given that gold precipitates due to the buffer exerted by the early stage of calc-silicate alteration and sulfide mineralization, it is free and generally dissociated from the previous copper event mainly related to chalcopyrite. QA/QC AND QUALIFIED PERSON Torex maintains an analytical quality assurance and quality control ("QA/QC") and data verification program to monitor laboratory performance and ensure high-quality assays. Results from this program confirm the reliability of the assay results. All sampling and analytical work for the mine exploration program is performed by SGS de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("SGS") in Durango, and by SGS at Morelos mine site facilities in Mexico. Gold analyses comprise fire assay with atomic absorption or gravimetric finish. External check assays for QA/QC purposes are performed at ALS Chemex de Mexico S.A. de C.V. The analytical QA/QC program is currently overseen by Carlo Nasi, Manager, Geology for Minera Media Luna, S.A. de C.V. All samples reported have been checked against Company and Lab standards, and blanks. No core duplicate samples are taken. Core sizes are mostly HQ in diameter and NQ core diameter is used sporadically if ground conditions require. Samples are sawn lengthwise in half. One half of the core is bagged and sealed for analytical analysis and one half is retained in the core box for reference. Sample preparation is carried out by SGS facilities in Durango and the Morelos mine site, Mexico and consists of drying and crushing 3 to 5 kg to >75% passing 2 mm followed by pulverization of 500 g to >85% passing 75 μm (G_PRP89). Gold is analyzed at the SGS facilities in Durango and at the Morelos mine site following internal analytical protocols. Gold analysis comprises a 30 g fire assay with an atomic absorption finish (GE_FAA30V5). Over-limit results for gold analysis (for samples reported as >10,000 ppb or >10 ppm) comprises 30 g Au by fire assay with gravimetric finish (GO_FAG30V). Copper and silver analyses up to 300 ppm Ag, Cu up to 10%, and iron up to 10% analysis are completed via Aqua Regia digestion and atomic absorption finish (GO_AAS21C50). Multi-element geochemical analysis is done by an Aqua Regia digestion with detection by ICP-OES using SGS internal analytical protocol and are conducted at SGS facilities in Durango (GE_ICP14B). External check assays for QC purposes are done on pulps and performed at ALS Global in Queretaro, Mexico. Approximately 3% of the samples collected from exploration and operation drilling as well as production samples are sent for analyses checks and assayed for Au, Ag, and Cu. Internal and external check control results are reviewed daily by MML and an external audit by Qualitica Consulting Inc. is carried out quarterly. The outcome of the test work indicates that the precision and accuracy of the results received from SGS' Durango and ELG mine site facilities are within acceptable tolerance ranges.

Torex Gold Reports Q1 2025 Results
"With our highest cash outflow and lowest production quarter of the year now behind us, our focus is set on further unlocking value for our shareholders through returning to positive free cash flow, executing our exploration program across the entire Morelos Property, implementing a formal return of capital policy, delivering on full-year guidance for the seventh consecutive year, and ramping up Media Luna to the designed mining rate by mid-2026." "As is typical of our cash flow seasonality, the first quarter was the highest for tax and royalty payments for the year. These payments, coupled with the final capital spend on Media Luna and limited production, necessitated the net $130 million draw on our credit facility per our plan. As we hit our projected free cash flow inflection point mid-year with completion of Media Luna Project spending, we expect to repay the modest amount of debt drawn quickly, particularly as production ramps up under a backdrop of record gold prices. "Production levels for the quarter were in line with our expectations given the four-week shutdown at the processing plant. Production is expected to pick up during the second quarter through the early stages of ramp up and increase further through the back half of the year, with annual guidance being maintained. All-in sustaining costs 1 for Q1 were much better than originally anticipated as initial sales from Media Luna did not commence until early April. As a result, the higher cost ore associated with the commissioning phase of the Media Luna mine will now be recognized in Q2, aligning with initial sales from Media Luna. "The first quarter was marked with significant milestones for Torex. We completed the tie-ins at the processing plant not only on time but, more importantly, safely. We also delivered first concentrate production, with regular shipments commencing in April. Earlier this week, we proudly declared commercial production at Media Luna, marking the conclusion of the project phase and the beginning of our transition back to positive free cash flow 1 generation. Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 7, 2025) - 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, 2025. Torex will host a conference call tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM (ET) to discuss the results. Story Continues FIRST QUARTER 2025 HIGHLIGHTS Safety performance: The Company recorded one lost-time injury during the quarter when a contractor suffered an ankle fracture. As at March 31, 2025, the lost-time injury frequency ("LTIF") for the Morelos Complex was 0.59 per million hours worked for both employees and contractors on a rolling 12-month basis. During the quarter, the internal investigation into the fatal carbon monoxide exposure that occurred in December 2024 was concluded and follow up action items are being tracked to completion. In addition, the Company has embarked on a comprehensive 'Next Level Safety' program with a view to ensuring that the operations resumes and maintains its prior fatality free status. Gold payable production: On a gold equivalent ounce ("oz AuEq") basis, payable production for the quarter was 59,630 oz AuEq 2 , including 58,330 oz Au. Production in the quarter was as expected and driven by the planned four-week tie-in period at the processing plant in connection with the Media Luna Project. The Company is on track to achieve annual payable production guidance of 400,000 to 450,000 oz AuEq 2 . Gold sold: The Company sold 60,568 oz AuEq 2 at a record quarterly average realized gold price 1 of $2,793 per oz, contributing to revenue of $170.0 million, which was lower than the quarterly average as sales of metal produced from the new circuits as part of the Media Luna Project commenced in April. All-in sustaining costs 1 : All-in sustaining costs of $1,405 per oz AuEq sold 2 relative to guidance of $1,400 to $1,600 per oz AuEq sold 2 . All-in sustaining costs margin 1 of $1,388 per oz AuEq sold, implying an all-in sustaining costs margin 1 of 50%. Cost of sales was $94.1 million or $1,554 per oz AuEq sold in the quarter. Net income and adjusted net earnings 1 : Reported net income of $39.0 million or earnings of $0.45 per share on both a basic and dilutive basis. Adjusted net earnings of $35.9 million or $0.42 per share on a basic basis and $0.41 per share on a diluted basis. EBITDA 1 and adjusted EBITDA 1 : Generated EBITDA of $88.1 million and adjusted EBITDA of $91.8 million. Cash flow generation: Net cash used in operating activities totalled $9.9 million and $17.7 million before changes in non-cash operating working capital. Net cash used in operating activities (including changes in non-cash operating working capital) of $9.9 million including income taxes paid of $101.6 million, reflecting the annual payment of mining taxes and annual true-up of corporate income taxes, and payment of the 0.5% royalty in respect of 2024 of $4.7 million. Negative free cash flow 1 of $133.3 million is net of cash outlays for capital expenditures, lease payments, and interest, including borrowing costs capitalized. Negative free cash flow was a result of the lower sales volumes due to the four-week tie-in period at the processing plant and capital expenditures of $123.5 million in the first quarter of 2025. Financial liquidity: The quarter closed with $197.6 million in available liquidity 1 , including $106.5 million in cash and $91.1 million available on the $300.0 million credit facilities, net of borrowings of $195.0 million and letters of credit outstanding of $13.9 million. Media Luna Project: In late March, the tie-in period was completed at the processing plant and the Company achieved first production of copper concentrate, marking the substantial completion of the Media Luna Project. Effective April 26, 2025, Media Luna reached the production stage, and commercial production was declared. During the quarter, $55.5 million was invested in the project and as of March 31, 2025, physical progress on the Project was approximately 98%. Exploration and Drilling Activities: In February, the Company announced results from the ongoing drilling program at Media Luna West and results from initial drill testing at Media Luna East 3 . The advanced exploration drilling program at Media Luna West has defined a mineralized footprint of 600 metres ("m") by 400 m with multiple high-grade intercepts. The intercepts indicate the exploration upside to the west of the defined resource boundaries of Media Luna and EPO. Initial drill testing at Media Luna East returned strong results, with multiple high-grade intercepts, many with copper ("Cu") grades in excess of 2%. Drilling at both targets is part of the Company's exploration strategy, which is focused, in part, on unlocking the resource potential of the Morelos Complex in order to enhance and extend the production profile. Year-end Mineral Reserves & Resources4: At EPO, an inaugural Probable Reserve of 781 koz AuEq was declared in September 2024 and an updated reserve estimate for EPO is currently being undertaken as part of the internal feasibility study. Due to drilling undertaken in 2024 north of the EPO deposit, Inferred Resources at EPO increased 32% to 954 koz AuEq from 721 koz AuEq. At ELG Underground, drilling was successful at replacing depletion with Proven and Probable Reserves increasing 1% to 662 koz AuEq during the year, supporting a reserve life through early 2029, which assumes an average mining rate of 2,800 tpd through 2026 and approximately 2,000 tpd thereafter. At Media Luna, updated mineral reserves and mineral resources primarily reflect results of definition drilling as well as modest refinements to some stope shapes. With the completion of the Media Luna Project, step-out and infill drilling at Media Luna is set to resume in 2025, with the goal of expanding and upgrading mineral resources as well as replacing mineral reserves. The positive results from the 2024 drilling program solidifies annual payable production of at least 450,000 koz AuEq through 2030 and a reserve life out to at least 2035. With approximately 125,000 m of drilling planned in 2025, almost double the metres drilled in 2024, the Company is focused on enhancing the base case production profile beyond 2030, extending the reserve life of the underground deposits, and further showcasing the underlying potential of the broader Morelos Property by testing several regional targets. 1.

Torex Gold begins commercial production at Media Luna mine in Mexico
Canadian intermediate gold producer Torex Gold Resources has commenced commercial production at the Media Luna mine in Mexico, after completing the development phase of the Media Luna project. Torex Gold invested $55.5m in the Media Luna project during the first quarter of 2025 (Q1 2025). The overall construction of the Media Luna mine was nearly complete (98%) by the end of the first quarter, showing progress from 94% at the quarter's start. The most significant elements of the surface construction still to be completed include the commissioning of the paste plant and the integration of the upgraded power infrastructure with the national grid. The completion of the paste plant and the paste distribution system, which are expected later this quarter, will support the increase in mining rates at the processing plant. The installation of updated power infrastructure is complete, and the national energy regulator, Comisión Federal de Electricidad, is conducting final checks before integrating the 230kV transmission line into the national grid. This step is expected to align with the commissioning of the paste plant. Torex president and CEO Jody Kuzenko said: 'The delivery of Media Luna and our transition to become both a gold and copper producer, substantially within budget and schedule, demonstrates Torex as not only a consistent and reliable operator but also a company capable of achieving excellence in the execution of major and complex projects. "Notably, our strong operational performance through the build period, supported by a backdrop of record gold prices, allowed us to accomplish what is largely unheard of in the industry – funding the project almost entirely through the generation of cash from our existing operations at ELG [El Limón Guajes]. The modest level of net debt accumulated through the build period will be repaid quickly as the company pivots to positive free cash flow generation in the middle of 2025.' After integrating the flotation circuits into the processing plant, the project team is working on escalating the underground mine's production to reach the targeted throughput of 7,500 tonnes per day (tpd) by mid-2026. The underground development and construction also reached 98% completion at the end of the quarter, with the Guajes Tunnel conveyor commissioned and transporting ore to the processing plant. The surface and underground operational readiness activities are also nearing completion, with a focus on the recruitment and training of employees for the Media Luna mine and modified process plant. More than 200 employees were transferred and more than 160 were recruited, with a focus on local hiring, to support the new operational requirements. In March 2025, Torex completed the four-week tie-in period for the Media Luna project, marking the first production of metal-rich copper concentrate.

Torex Gold Declares Commercial Production at Media Luna
Milestone marks the Company's official transition to become both a gold and copper producer (All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated) Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 1, 2025) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) is pleased to announce it has achieved commercial production at the Media Luna mine, concluding the development phase of the Media Luna Project. Amongst other criteria, commercial production is declared when construction is substantially complete, mine and mill throughput have averaged over 40% and 60% of design rates for 30 days, respectively, product is saleable, and metallurgical recoveries have averaged at least 60% of the design recovery levels. Unless otherwise stated, progress and milestones referenced in this press release are as of March 31, 2025. Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated: "I'm proud to announce that we have accomplished one of the last key milestones associated with the Media Luna Project by achieving commercial production. The delivery of Media Luna and our transition to become both a gold and copper producer, substantially within budget and schedule, demonstrates Torex as not only a consistent and reliable operator, but also a company capable of achieving excellence in the execution of major and complex projects. "Notably, our strong operational performance through the build period, supported by a backdrop of record gold prices, allowed us to accomplish what is largely unheard of in the industry - funding the project almost entirely through the generation of cash from our existing operations at ELG. The modest level of net debt accumulated through the build period will be repaid quickly as the Company pivots to positive free cash flow generation in the middle of 2025. "Following the safe, successful tie-in of the flotation circuits to the processing plant, the project team is now focused on ramping up the underground mine to the design level of 7,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") by mid-2026, six months ahead of the schedule set out in the Feasibility Study. With underground development ahead of schedule and close to a year of stopes now drilled off, mining rates will steadily increase upon successful completion and commissioning of the paste plant and paste distribution system later this quarter. "With the Media Luna Project now substantially complete and ramping up to full operations, this will be our last quarterly project update to the market. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to our shareholders for your continued trust in Torex to deliver on this massive project as we committed, and to our employees and contractors at Morelos for their unwavering dedication to deliver excellence as we set the foundation for continued growth in Mexico and beyond." CAPITAL EXPENDITURES As a result of rescheduling the processing plant tie-ins to February 2025 (originally November 2024), expenditures on Media Luna continued to be classed as non-sustaining prior to the declaration of commercial production on April 26, 2025. For accounting purposes, the transition to the production phase will be reflected commencing May 1, 2025. During Q1 2025, $55.5 million was spent on Media Luna. A modest level of non-sustaining capital expenditures will be incurred post the declaration of commercial production, primarily related to completion and commissioning of the paste plant and paste distribution system. PROJECT COMPLETION As of the end of Q1 2025, overall construction of Media Luna was 98% complete, up from 94% at the start of the quarter. Underground development/construction sat at 98% complete with the largest outstanding component being the finalization of the tailings and paste distribution lines within the mine. Surface construction was 96% complete at the end of the quarter, with commissioning of the paste plant on track for completion in Q2. First concentrate was produced on March 24th and commercial production has now been achieved.

Underground Development and Construction Underground development and construction are essentially complete, sitting at 98% at the end of the quarter. Importantly, the Guajes Tunnel conveyor was commissioned during the quarter and has been steadily transporting ore to the processing plant on the north side of the Balsas River (Figure 1). Significant progress continues to be made on definition drilling, with 51 of the 60 stopes planned to be mined in the 2025 mine plan drilled off, 40 from 2026, and 14 from 2027. Development rates remain above budget with 1,304 metres completed in March compared to a budget of 1,200 metres per month. With paste plant commissioning scheduled to be completed in the second quarter, mining rates are expected to steadily increase through the year and remain on track to achieve the designed rate of 7,500 tpd by mid-2026. Other notable areas that were completed in the quarter included the electrical connection and commissioning of rock breaker #4 and development of waste pass #2. Key areas that remain outstanding include the installation of the underground paste distribution piping and the remaining underground material handling systems, that will support both Media Luna and EPO.

Ore is being transported through the tunnel out of the Guajes Portal for processing on the north side of the Balsas River. To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Surface Construction At the end of March, surface construction sat at 96% complete, up from 85% at the start of the quarter. Through close coordination between the project and operation teams, the tie-in of the copper and iron sulphide flotation circuits at the processing plant were completed safely and on time. In total, 83 tie-ins were completed and 136 separate systems commissioned. The completion of the tie-in period marked the handover of the new processing facilities to the operations team, resulting in first concentrate production delivered to the on-site storage facility on March 24th (Figure 2) and concentrate shipments from site to the port commencing the first week of April. The largest components of surface construction that remain outstanding are commissioning of the paste plant and connection of the updated power infrastructure to the national grid. Paste plant construction and commissioning are progressing well. The paste plant filter presses were assembled during the quarter and water testing commenced on the paste plant thickener (Figures 3 and 4). Pipe and instrumentation installation remains a key area for completion ahead of commissioning which is on track to commence over the next several weeks. Installation of power infrastructure is complete and the energy regulator, Comisión Federal de Electricidad ("CFE"), is on site to complete their final checks and commissioning process before the 230 kV transmission line can be tied into the national grid. The tie-in is expected to be completed over the coming weeks, aligned with commissioning of the paste plant. Other notable surface construction achievements during the quarter included preparation of the base of the Guajes Pit for in-situ tailings disposal, testing of tailings pumping systems to the Guajes thickener, and commissioning of the underground control room for remote operation of the new rock breakers, Guajes conveyor and associated infrastructure.

Commissioning and operational readiness activities for the underground infrastructure, water treatment plant, and flotation circuits were delivered and as the paste plant nears mechanical completion, commissioning and operational readiness deliverables have been finalized to support startup. The operational readiness team continues to develop and advance Standard Operating and Maintenance procedures for the remaining new assets and is tracking to plan at over 91% complete. The Human Resources, Safety, and Operational teams coordinated the recruitment and training of the final group of employees required to operate the Media Luna mine and the modified process plant. From January 2024 to the end of March 2025, approximately 200 employees were transferred from the ELG Open Pits to the underground mine and more than 160 employees were recruited. The teams also coordinated the redeployment, hiring, and training of just over 110 positions in the processing plant to meet the new operating requirements, all with a key focus on local recruitment.
