The Company plans to release its first quarter
financial and operational results after market close on Wednesday,
May 11, 2022, followed the next morning by a conference call. Gold
grades mined, gold grades processed, and gold recoveries will be
reported with the quarterly results.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“We had a solid start to the year with Q1 gold
production of 112,440 ounces, slightly ahead of budget given higher
than anticipated processed grades. The operational performance was
equally matched by excellent safety performance, with the Company
exiting March with no lost time injuries and achieving more than 8
million hours worked without a lost time injury.
“Recoveries during the quarter were modestly
impacted by lower recovery ore in the Guajes open pit, similar to
levels encountered during the previous quarter. Recoveries are
forecast to improve through the remainder of the year as the
proportion of higher recovery ore is expected to increase as mining
transitions to different areas of the Guajes open pit.
“With a solid start to the year, and the
expectation that production will further increase in the back half
of 2022, we are well on track to deliver full year production
guidance of 430,000 to 470,000 ounces of gold.”
