Torex plans to release its third quarter 2021
financial and operational results on Wednesday, November 3, 2021,
followed by a conference call hosted by senior management. Gold
grades mined, gold grades processed, and gold recoveries will be
reported with the quarterly results.
Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex,
stated:
“Our overall performance in 2021 has been solid,
and this quarter was no different. With 358,780 ounces produced
through to the end of September, we are well on track to achieve
the upper end of the guided range of 430,000 to 470,000 ounces in
2021. Importantly, these ounces continue to be delivered safely,
with no lost time injuries during the quarter.
“As expected, third quarter production of
111,220 ounces was lower than the first two quarters of the year as
we are mining in areas of the pit where grades are closer to
reserve levels, and we expect a similar level of production in the
fourth quarter. This quarter also brought with it some operational
challenges, including a shutdown of our rope conveyor to carry out
necessary maintenance, and a rock fall incident at the El Limón
pit. The combination of these events impacted the amount of waste
mined in the quarter as haul trucks were redirected to moving ore
and stockpiles to feed the processing plant. With the rope conveyor
restarted in mid-August and the rock fall incident investigated and
fully addressed, mining rates have now returned to normal
levels.
“We continue to demonstrate ourselves as a
consistent and reliable operator that safely delivers on what we
say we will do despite the challenges we may face. We have a truly
excellent team, and we look forward to a strong finish to what has
been an excellent year so far for Torex.”
