Torex Gold to Restart Operations and Project Activities at the Morelos Complex
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - December 17, 2024) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) reports that the Director General of Mines under the Federal Ministry of Economy has lifted the temporary suspension notice and allowed for all activities within the Morelos Complex to resume.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:
"Following notification that the temporary suspension has been lifted by the Director General of Mines, all production and development activities at the Morelos Complex will resume, including open pit and underground mining, processing operations, and all activities associated with the Media Luna Project. With the suspension lifted, our employees and contractor partners can get back to meaningful and productive work as we complete our own internal investigation.
"Full-year 2024 production guidance remains intact and is tracking towards the lower end of the guided range of 450,000 to 470,000 ounces of gold. The project schedule for Media Luna remains unchanged with the four-week processing plant tie-in period on track to commence in February 2025.
"As we ramp up operations and work to conclude our Media Luna Project, we will never forget the tragic loss of three of our colleagues at ELG Underground and will work with strengthened resolve to ensure the safety and well-being of everyone in our workplace now and in the future."
