Torex Gold Receives Approval for In-Pit Tailings Deposition
November 15 2023 - 7:00AM
Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG)
announces the Company has received approval from Mexico’s
Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”)
regarding an amendment to the key environmental permit (“MIA”) for
the Media Luna Project, which will allow for the deposition of
tailings into the mined-out Guajes open pit.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“The amendment to the MIA is the last
environmental approval required for the operational phase of the
Media Luna Project and allows us to move forward with the
deposition of tailings into the mined-out Guajes open pit. The
switch to in-pit tailings deposition from filtered and dry-stacked
tailings will coincide with the planned commissioning of the copper
and iron sulphide flotation circuits as well as concentrate
filtering and handling facilities.
“As outlined in the March 2022 Technical Report,
approximately half of the tailings produced over the life of the
Morelos Complex are expected to be deposited within the Guajes open
pit, with the remainder deposited underground as cemented paste
backfill. Work to prepare the Guajes pit for future tailings
deposition will commence shortly in preparation for our plans to
start depositing tailings in late 2024.
“Receipt of the MIA amendment marks another
significant project de-risking milestone and further demonstrates
the ongoing support of local communities and the endorsement of
State and Federal Governments of both the social and environmental
facets of the Morelos Complex.”
