TORONTO, Jan. 12, 2023 - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) reports record annual gold production of 474,035 ounces in 2022 following fourth quarter production of 116,196 ounces. Full year gold production surpassed the upper end of the guided range of 430,000 to 470,000 ounces, marking the fourth year in a row original production guidance has been achieved. During the year, the Company sold 473,122 ounces of gold, including 121,913 ounces during the fourth quarter.

TABLE 1: PRELIMINARY FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2022 OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS

Torex plans to release its fourth quarter and year-end financial and operational results after market close on Wednesday February 22, 2023, followed the next morning by a conference call. Final operating results (including tonnes mined and processed, gold grades processed and gold recoveries), will be reported with the year-end financial results.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

"We delivered an outstanding year operationally in 2022, surpassing production guidance and achieving record gold production of 474,000 ounces. Our excellent operational performance this year included record annual throughput in the mill of 12,600 tonnes per day ("tpd") and record annual contribution from the ELG Underground. The results we achieved in 2022 are a direct result of the ongoing hard work, adherence to disciplined systems and processes, and dedication of our team to deliver safe and reliable production on each and every shift. This consistent performance has enabled Torex to achieve annual production guidance for the fourth year in a row.

"Fourth quarter gold production of 116,196 ounces was supported by strong gold grades to the mill, in part owing to the ELG Underground team delivering a new quarterly record mining rate of 1,685 tonnes per day, exceeding the previous record of 1,582 tonnes per day set during Q2 2022.

"In addition to excellent operational results, during the quarter, steady progress was made at the Media Luna Project with key engineering and procurement activities advancing. Record development rates were achieved in the Guajes Tunnel during December with an average advance rate of 7.2 metres per day. With total development at 3,250 metres in the Guajes Tunnel at year end, the tunnelling team has now successfully crossed under the Balsas River and continues to be on pace for breakthrough in early 2024, if not before.

"We are well positioned to deliver another solid year operationally in 2023 as we look to maintain the steady performance in the mill, increase underground mining rates to 1,800 tonnes per day by year-end, and further bolster our culture of safety, as we continue to build our future through construction and development of the Media Luna Project."

2023 GUIDANCE AND 5-YEAR PRODUCTION OUTLOOK TO BE RELEASED NEXT WEEK

The Company expects to release 2023 operational guidance next week. Guidance will include expectations on production, costs, as well as non-sustaining and sustaining capital expenditures.

In conjunction with the release of 2023 guidance, Torex plans to release its inaugural 5-year production outlook for the Morelos Complex, which includes gold-equivalent production from ELG Open Pit and ELG Underground operations, the Media Luna Project, and surface stockpiles.
