TOREX GOLD REPORTS Q3 2026 PRODUCTION RESULTS
Torex Gold Resources Inc. has released its preliminary third quarter 2026 gold-equivalent (AuEq) production of 131,900 ounces (oz) and AuEq sales of 127,346 oz. Year-to-date production and sales totalled 329,071 oz AuEq and 328,918 oz AuEq, respectively, putting the company solidly on track to achieve the midpoint of full-year production guidance of 420,000 to 470,000 oz AuEq. (All amounts are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.)
Financial and operational results for the third quarter 2026 will be released after market close on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 2026.
Andrew Snowden, president and chief executive officer of Torex, stated:
"Our third quarter operational results were exceptional and delivered the step-up in production we expected to support a strong second half of the year, with higher grades and improved gold recoveries driving production of 131,900 oz AuEq. With this strong Q3 result and our operations firing on all cylinders, we are well positioned to achieve our annual production guidance.
"Media Luna continues to perform very well, with mining rates averaging 8,244 tonnes per day (tpd) during the quarter, comfortably above the 7,500 tpd design rate. ELG Underground also continued to deliver strong performance, with mining rates exceeding 3,000 tpd. Throughput rates at the processing plant averaged 10,798 tpd with gold grades of 3.50 grams per tonne and gold recoveries of 88 per cent, representing the strongest quarterly results year to date.
"Media Luna North remains on schedule to deliver first ore before year-end, and with this third active mining front coming on-line, we expect incremental ore tonnage and greater flexibility in mine sequencing.
"Building on the strong operational performance delivered this quarter, together with the continued advancement of our exploration programs, we expect to deliver a strong finish to 2026 and carry that momentum into 2027 and beyond."
During the third quarter, the company repurchased 1,755,843 shares at an average price of $66.84 per share and paid a quarterly dividend of 16 cents per share. On a year-to-date basis, the company has repurchased 4,888,626 shares (5.1 per cent of shares outstanding at the start of the year). The company continues to opportunistically repurchase shares in the open market to deliver on its commitment to return $350-million of capital to shareholders in 2026 through dividends and share repurchases.
