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.

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).
Table 1: Highlights from the 2023 follow-up drilling program along the El Limón Sur Trend
Drill Hole | From(m) | To(m) | Core Length1(m) | Au(gpt) | Ag(gpt) | Cu(%) | AuEq2(gpt) |
LS-234 | 52.00 | 66.00 | 14.00 | 13.69 | 16.4 | 0.35 | 14.45 |
LS-293 | 270.75 | 275.38 | 4.63 | 20.10 | 44.9 | 0.06 | 20.74 |
Notes to Table:1) Intercepts are reported as core length (not true width/thickness). Core lengths reflect drilling core recovery.2) The gold equivalent grade calculation used is as follows: AuEq (gpt) = Au (gpt) + Ag (gpt) * 0.0123 + Cu (%) * 1.6000 and use the same metal prices ($1,550/oz Au, $20/oz Ag, and $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.

Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information, including, without limitation, risks and uncertainties associated with: the ability to upgrade mineral resources categories of mineral resources with greater confidence levels or to mineral reserves; risks associated with mineral reserve and mineral resource estimation; uncertainty involving skarn deposits; and those risk factors identified in the Technical Report and the Company’s annual information form and management’s discussion and analysis or other unknown but potentially significant impacts. Forward-looking information is based on the assumptions discussed in the Technical Report and such other reasonable assumptions, estimates, analysis and opinions of management made in light of its experience and perception of trends, current conditions and expected developments, and other factors that management believes are relevant and reasonable in the circumstances at the date such statements are made. Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information or future events or otherwise, except as may be required by applicable securities laws.
