Torex plans to release its second quarter
financial and operational results after market close on Wednesday,
August 3, 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 another strong quarter operationally
during Q2 with gold production of 123,180 ounces. The
better-than-expected result was driven by higher grades from the
ELG Open Pits and record ore production from the ELG Underground.
During the quarter, the ELG Underground achieved an average mining
rate of 1,580 tonnes per day, surpassing the prior record of 1,430
tonnes per day achieved in Q2 2021. Plant performance was
consistent, with relatively steady throughput at modestly higher
recoveries quarter-over-quarter, in line with expectations as
mining in the Guajes open pit transitions away from an area of
lower recovery ore.
“As we capped off this solid quarter of
production, our team surpassed 10 million hours worked without a
lost time injury, the second time our employees and contractors
have achieved this impressive milestone since 2020. With the last
lost time injury occurring in April 2021, the Company exited the
quarter with a lost time injury frequency of zero over the trailing
12 months. We know the strong culture of safety we have built over
the years is reflected in our consistent operational performance,
and we plan on enhancing this culture even further as we bring
Media Luna into production.
“At Media Luna, construction is well underway
with long-lead procurement and earthworks on schedule. Development
of the Guajes Tunnel has now advanced more than 2,100 metres, with
rates averaging 6.7 metres per day in June, improving from the
previous record of 6.4 metres per day set in May. Advance rates in
South Portal Lower have also improved following challenging ground
conditions encountered earlier in the year, with the tunnel now
advanced more than 700 metres. Overall, the project is well on
track.
“Our Q2 production results demonstrate that our
excellence in safety and operational discipline continues – both
key to the reliable and consistent results that people have come to
expect of Torex – and we look forward to more of the same in the
second half of 2022.”
