On track to deliver on full year production guidance following solid start to year

(All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated)

Toronto, April 10, 2024 - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) reports Q1 2024 gold production of 115,494 ounces ("oz") and gold sold of 111,642 oz. With the solid start to the year, the Company is on track to achieve annual gold production guidance of 400,000 to 450,000 oz.

TABLE 1: PRELIMINARY FIRST QUARTER 2024 OPERATIONAL RESULTS

Operational results are preliminary in nature and subject to final reconciliation. Financial and operational results for Q1 2024 will be released after market close on Wednesday, May 8, 2024. A conference call hosted by senior management will be held the following day at 9:00 AM ET.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

"2024 is off to a solid start with quarterly gold production of 115,494 ounces, tracking exactly to plan. Importantly, we delivered these ounces safely, exiting the quarter with one lost-time ankle injury at the Media Luna Project and reaching 14 million hours lost-time injury free at ELG.

"A new record was set at the processing plant with average gold recovery of 90.7%, the highest level achieved to date. Throughput rates remained above 13,000 tonnes per day ("tpd") for the fifth consecutive quarter, averaging 13,118 tpd.

"Open pit production was in line with expectations. Looking forward, the strip ratio for the open pits is expected to continue to decline as the pits wind down. At ELG Underground, mining rates averaged 1,843 tpd given the backfill priorities in the mine plan during the month of March. Mining rates are expected to return to the now steady-state range of 2,000 tpd for the remainder of the year.

"The lag between production and sales during the quarter reflects timing of gold pours that coincided with the Easter holiday period in Mexico. We expect to reduce the level of finished inventory over the coming quarters.

"With continued stable performance expected from ELG in 2024, complemented by our plan to start processing ore from Media Luna in Q4, we are well-positioned to deliver on full year production guidance for the sixth consecutive year."
