Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG) is
pleased to provide an update on the Company’s ongoing drilling
program at ELG Underground. The ELG Underground exploration
strategy is focused on expanding resources as well as extending and
optimizing the life of ELG Underground well beyond 2026.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“We are excited about the latest assays from the
drilling program at ELG Underground as the high grade intercepts
continue to validate the long-term potential of this evolving
orebody. Importantly, as our understanding of the structural
controls matures, so does our confidence in our ability to continue
to replace reserves and resources and to significantly grow the
overall mineral endowment of the ELG Cluster. Our approach is to
systematically drill and demonstrate the expansion of known ore
shoots and target new mineralization through future exploration,
all with a view to extending and enhancing the mine plan and
further unlocking the significant cash generation capability of the
Morelos asset.”
HIGHLIGHTS
Infill drilling within ELG Underground continues
to deliver outstanding results which support upgrading Inferred
resources to the Indicated category. Additionally, advanced
exploration drilling following up on high grade intercepts
previously identified yielded impressive results that highlight the
potential to expand resources. The results reported confirm the
associated structural corridors of the ELG Underground, including
north-northwest (“NNW”) trends referred to as Sub-Sill, El Limón
Sur, and El Limón West as well as a northeast (“NE”)
trend referred to as El Limón Deep.
El Limón Sur Trend
-
Drill hole LS-293 returned 20.74 grams per tonne gold
equivalent (“gpt AuEq”) over 4.6 metres (“m”), being the
first subsequent hole of a program at the El Limón Sur Deep zone
post the previously reported high grade intercept from drill hole
LS-220 (88.92 gpt AuEq over 14.5 m). LS-293 confirms the continuity
and extension of the high-grade gold mineralization at El Limón Sur
Deep for another 100 m at depth.
-
Advanced exploration drilling where the El Limón Sur Trend
intersects the La Flaca fault returned multiple economic intercepts
including 11.75 gpt AuEq over 22.9 m in LDUG-239,
11.55 gpt AuEq over 14.9 m in LDUG-290,
10.03 gpt AuEq over 14.4 m in LDUG-296,
11.71 gpt AuEq over 8.9 m in LDUG-277,
11.36 gpt AuEq over 8.7 m in LDUG-308, and
8.13 gpt AuEq over 12.4 m in LDUG-280. Given the
results to date, this area represents a potential new mining front
within ELG Underground.
-
Resource delineation drilling below the northern wall of El Limón
Sur open pit was successful in confirming and extending high grade
mineralization outside of the current resource block model. Several
holes returned notable intercepts, including 44.93 gpt AuEq
over 8.2 m in LS-152, 28.50 gpt AuEq over 4.5
m in LS-149, 14.45 gpt AuEq over 14.0
m in LS-234, 11.38 gpt AuEq over 12.4
m in LS-272, and 11.37 gpt AuEq over 10.5
m in LS-276.
El Limón Deep Trend
-
Infill and step-out drilling continues to extend mineralization at
depth, with notable high grade intercepts including 33.91
gpt AuEq over 9.1 m in LDUG-256 and 35.81 gpt AuEq
over 4.8 m in LDUG-268. High grade mineralization appears
to be related to the intersection of the La Flaca fault with the
Sub-Sill Trend, highlighting the possibility to encounter
higher-grade mineralization where the La Flaca fault intersects the
other NNW-trending structural corridors.
Sub-Sill Trend
-
Infill drilling returned high grade intercepts within the extension
of the Sub-Sill zone including 19.45 gpt AuEq over
12.1 m and 21.32 gpt AuEq over 4.0
m in SST-312, and 23.32 gpt AuEq over 4.7
m in SST-313. Additionally, two holes drilled 250 m north
of the La Flaca fault encountered mineralization, opening the
exploration potential for additional mineralization to the
north.
El Limón West Trend
-
Three drill intercepts encountered mineralization along the El
Limón West Trend, indicating the potential for another new mining
front within ELG Underground. Notable results included LS-287 with
17.74 gpt AuEq over 5.4 m and 10.04 gpt
AuEq over 13.4 m as well as LS-229 with 6.90 gpt
AuEq over 3.4 m. These drill holes have extended the
continuity of mineralization 100 m to the south as well as 100 m
below the deepest hole drilled to date within this zone.
2023 ELG UNDERGROUND DRILLING PROGRAM
As of the end of September, approximately 54,600
m across 235 holes had been drilled as part of the 2023 ELG
brownfield and near-mine exploration and drilling programs,
representing 96% of the planned metres for the year. Year to date,
assay results have been received for 55% of the total holes
drilled.
Figure 1: Plan view of ELG Underground
including key structural trends (corridors)
With the additional drilling and evolving
interpretation of the geology of ELG Underground, it is believed
that there will be greater structural control of the mineralization
as the deposits get deeper. To date, at least three main NNW
structural corridors have been recognized and are assumed to be the
main feeders of the system. The intersection of these NNW
structures with the previously identified NE-trending faults (La
Flaca and Z71) appear to be responsible for the high grade ore
shoots identified to date.
During Q4, the priority will be to
systematically drill the El Limón Sur Trend, where the greatest
contribution of new ounces is expected. A geometric delineation
program will be carried out, aimed at defining the full extent of
the mineralization, which will be subject to resource
categorization at the end of 2024.
Assay results reported in this press release
include drill holes completed under the 2023 underground drilling
program for which assays were received post the cut-off date for
the July 11, 2023 press release (except drill hole LS-220 which was
previously reported). Detailed drill results are reported in Table
7 (El Limón Sur Trend), Table 8 (Sub-Sill Trend), Table 9 (El Limón
Deep Trend), and Table 10 (El Limón West Trend).
Drill hole intercepts are core lengths and not
true widths. AuEq grades use the same metal prices ($1,550/oz gold
(“Au”), $20/oz silver (“Ag”), and $3.50/lb copper (“Cu”)) and
metallurgical recoveries (90% Au, 86% Ag, and 93% Cu) used in the
year-end 2022 mineral resource estimate for ELG Underground (AuEq
(gpt) = Au (gpt) + Ag (gpt) * 0.0123 + Cu (%) * 1.6000).
EL LIMÓN SUR TREND (FIGURE 2)
The El Limón Sur Trend is a NNW-trending
structural corridor which hosts the El Limón Sur Deep and Sub-Sill
South zones as well as a developing new zone located where the
Trend intersects the La Flaca fault. Drilling along the El Limón
Sur Trend during 2023 has been focused on three key areas, with the
aim of extending the mineralized footprint to the northwest, the
southeast, and at depth, directions in which mineralization remains
open.
The first area of focus was follow-up drilling
around the high grade mineralization encountered at El Limón Sur
Deep which was outlined in the July 11, 2023 press release. The
most notable intercept from the latest round of drilling was
LS-293, which extended higher-grade mineralization 100 m below
LS-220, a previously-reported drill hole that returned 88.92 gpt
AuEq over 14.5 m. This area is a key focus given the potential to
extend higher-grade gold and copper mineralization at depth and to
the southeast (Figure 1, sector I).

$3.50/lb Cu) and metallurgical recoveries (90% Au, 86% Ag, and 93%
Cu) used in the Mineral Resource estimate for ELG Underground.
The second area of focus along the El Limón Sur
Trend was a cluster of high-grade intercepts at the intersection of
the Trend and the La Flaca fault. Drilling within this area
returned multiple drill intercepts in excess of 10 gpt AuEq and
widths in excess of 10 m, which is encouraging for future resource
expansion. Several holes also returned impressive levels of copper
mineralization, indicating the potential to sweeten future copper
production once upgrades to the processing plant are completed as
part of the Media Luna Project in late 2024
(Figure 1, sector II).
This particular section of the El Limón Sur
Trend presents evidence of potentially being a main feeder of the
mineralized system. Previous drilling intersected high grade
mineralization at the 400 m level, indicating the potential for
continuous mineralization 250 m below where the majority of
drilling in this rapidly developing zone has been focused.

The third area of focus was infill drilling with
the aim of upgrading and expanding resources within Sub-Sill South,
specifically below the El Limón Sur open pit. Drill results within
this area were better than anticipated with several holes returning
intercepts in excess of 10 gpt AuEq and widths in excess of 10 m.
This mineralization could be accessed via a subsequent expansion of
the El Limón Sur open pit or potentially through an expansion of
Sub-Sill South (Figure 1, sector III).

A key drilling focus for the remainder of 2023
is to test the continuity of mineralization across the El Limón
Sur Trend down to the 600 m level, which is approximately 300
m below the current level of mineralization at the Sub-Sill South
zone. If the continuity of the mineralization is confirmed, the
geological concept of the NNW-trending structural corridors will be
validated, and further drilling will be carried out to replicate
the results along the Sub-Sill Trend and El Limón West Trend as
well as at depth along the El Limón Sur Trend.
EL LIMÓN DEEP TREND (FIGURE 3)
The El Limón Deep Trend is a NE-trending
structural corridor, closely related to the La Flaca fault. Infill
and step-out drilling along the northeast corridor near the
intersection with the Sub-Sill Trend returned several impressive
intercepts, which indicate the potential to expand resources at
depth while upgrading Inferred resources to the Indicated category.
Notable holes include LDUG-256 and LDUG-268, which returned
intercepts with AuEq grades in excess of an ounce per tonne (Figure
1, sector IV).

The intersection of the NNW structural corridors
with the La Flaca fault will be a key area of focus for our 2024
brownfield exploration program.
SUB-SILL TREND (FIGURE 4)
The Sub-Sill Trend is a NNW-trending structural
corridor. Exploration drilling along the Sub-Sill Trend has been
limited by mining operations in the area. However, the resource
categorization drilling that has been conducted continues to
confirm the continuity of mineralization at depth and to the north
of the current mining areas (Figure 1, sector V).

Additionally, drilling at the northern end of
the Sub-Sill Trend (LDUG-234 and LDUG-241), 250 m from the
La Flaca fault, encountered mineralization above the resource
cut-off grade, which suggests the potential for a new zone of
mineralization. This zone is close to existing mine infrastructure
and could be developed quickly if the zone can be expanded through
future drilling and proven to be economic (Figure 1, sector
VI).
EL LIMÓN WEST TREND (FIGURE
5)
The El Limón West Trend is a NNW-trending
structural corridor that hosts a potential new underground mining
front below the El Limón Sur open pit. Drilling in this area has
been extremely successful in expanding the mineralized potential of
this evolving area of ELG Underground. Drill hole LS-229 was
successful in extending the known mineralized footprint more than
100 m at depth while drill hole LS-287 returned two high grade
intercepts which have extended the mineralized footprint 100 m to
the south, directions in which mineralization remains open (Figure
1, sector VII).

Development of a new mining front at El Limón
West could be accessed via future underground infrastructure at El
Limón Sur Deep, potentially via the bottom of the El Limón Sur open
pit or through the Guajes Tunnel, which passes approximately 300 m
to the south.
GEOLOGY OF THE ELG MINE
COMPLEX
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, dikes and
afterwards uplifted 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 special
association with a skarn body that was developed along a
2-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
late stage and of epithermal origin.
Dykes and sills are found to crosscut the
hornfels and marble, along the structural trends mentioned above,
and are spatially associated with the skarn formation and in some
cases these are the ore controls of the main gold mineralization
stage at depth.
The style of mineralization at 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.

CAUTIONARY NOTES ON FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTSThis press release contains "forward-looking
statements" and "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
applicable Canadian securities legislation. Forward-looking
information also includes, but is not limited to, statements about:
the high grade intercepts from the drill program at ELG Underground
continue to validate the long-term potential of this evolving
orebody; as the Company’s understanding of the structural controls
matures, so does our confidence in our ability to continue to
replace reserves and resources and to significantly grow the
overall mineral endowment of the ELG Cluster; the Company’s view to
extending and enhancing the mine plan and further unlocking the
significant cash generation capability of the Morelos asset; infill
drilling within ELG Underground continues to deliver outstanding
results which support upgrading Inferred resources to the Indicated
category; advanced exploration drilling following up on high grade
intercepts previously identified yielded impressive results that
highlight the potential to expand Inferred resources; high grade
mineralization of the El Limón Deep Trend appears to be related to
the intersection of the La Flaca fault with the Sub-Sill Trend,
highlighting the possibility to encounter higher-grade
mineralization where the La Flaca fault intersects the other
north-northwest (NNW) trending structural corridors; two holes
drilled 250 m north of the La Flaca fault encountered
mineralization, opening the exploration potential for additional
mineralization to the north; three drill intercepts encountered
mineralization along the El Limón West Trend, indicating the
potential for another new mining front within ELG Underground; El
Limón Sur Deep is a key area of focus given the potential to extend
higher-grade gold and copper mineralization at depth and to the
southeast; the second area of focus along the El Limón Sur Trend
was a cluster of high-grade intercepts at the intersection of the
Trend and the La Flaca fault; drilling within this area returned
multiple drill intercepts in excess of 10 gpt AuEq and widths in
excess of 10 m, which is encouraging for future resource expansion;
several holes also returned impressive levels of copper
mineralization, indicating the potential to sweeten future copper
production once upgrades to the processing plant are completed as
part of the Media Luna Project in late 2024; previous drilling
intersected high grade mineralization at the 400 m level,
indicating the potential for continuous mineralization 250 m below
where the majority of drilling in this rapidly developing zone has
been focused; the third area of focus was infill drilling with the
aim of upgrading and expanding resources within Sub-Sill South,
specifically below the El Limón Sur open pit; infill and step-out
drilling along the northeast corridor near the intersection with
the Sub-Sill Trend returned several impressive intercepts, which
indicate the potential to expand resources at depth while upgrading
Inferred resources to the Indicated category; drilling at the
northern end of the Sub-Sill Trend (LDUG-234 and LDUG-241), 250 m
from the La Flaca fault, encountered mineralization above the
resource cut-off grade, which suggests the potential for a new zone
of mineralization; this zone is close to existing mine
infrastructure and should be able to be developed quickly if the
zone can be expanded through future drilling and proven to be
economic; the El Limón West Trend is a NNW-trending structural
corridor that hosts a potential new underground mining front below
the El Limón Sur open pit; drill hole LS-229 was successful in
extending the known mineralized footprint more than 100 m at depth
while drill hole LS-287 returned two high grade intercepts which
have extended the mineralized footprint 100 m to the south,
directions in which mineralization remains open; development of a
new mining front at El Limón West could be accessed via future
underground infrastructure at El Limón Sur Deep zone, potentially
via the bottom of the El Limón Sur open pit or through the Guajes
Tunnel, which passes approximately 300 m to the south; and the
Company’s key strategic objectives to extend and optimize
production from the ELG Mining Complex, de-risk and advance Media
Luna to commercial production, build on ESG excellence, and to grow
through ongoing exploration across the entire Morelos Property.

Notes to Table1) Intercepts are core lengths and do not
represent true thickness of mineralized zones.2) Core lengths
subject to rounding.3) Torex is not aware of any drilling,
sampling, recovery, or other factors that could materially affect
the accuracy or reliability of the data.4) Gold equivalent (“AuEq”)
grades use the same metal prices ($1,550/oz gold (“Au”), $20/oz
silver (“Ag”) and $3.50/lb copper (“Cu”)) and metallurgical
recoveries (90% Au, 86% Ag and 93% Cu) used in the Mineral Resource
estimate for ELG Underground (AuEq (gpt) = Au (g/t) + Ag (gpt) *
0.0123 + Cu (%) * 1.6000).
