Torex Announces 2016 Year End Financial and Operational Results
(firmenpresse) - TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 02/23/17 -- (All amounts expressed in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated)
Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) announced today its financial and operational results for the year ended December 31, 2016. This release should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2016 Financial Statements and MD&A on the Company's website or on SEDAR.
Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex stated: "280,000 ounces of gold in the first year of the ramp up, speaks to the quality of the deposit, the constructed asset, and the skill of the team in navigating through the technical and social start-up challenges. The ramp-up is expected to be completed during 2017, as solutions are in hand for the two remaining material technical issues. Construction is underway on the SART plant to manage the soluble copper and a decision has been made to increase tailings filtration capacity." He added, "2017 will also be an exciting year from a development perspective as step-out drilling on the Sub-Sill discovery is planned and delivered, a resource estimate is prepared, and access is completed to allow material from this zone to be processed before year end. Media Luna is also poised to take a major step forward in 2017 with permits expected for an access ramp that we intend to start developing before year end. It promises to be an interesting year as we complete the ramp up of ELG and prepare the Company for the next stage of growth."
The ELG Mine achieved commercial production in late March 2016, ahead of schedule and under budget. For accounting purposes, commercial production commenced April 1, 2016. As this is the Company's first year in the production stage, comparative figures for certain measures or data are not available or are not meaningful.
