TABLE 1: PRELIMINARY FIRST QUARTER 2026 OPERATIONAL RESULTS1

Notes to Table:

Financial and operational results for the first quarter 2026 will be released after market close on Wednesday, May 6, 2026.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

"The first quarter capped off the successful ramp-up of Media Luna, which achieved design throughput of 7,500 tonnes per day ("tpd") nine months ahead of the schedule set out in the technical report and three months ahead of the most recent forecast. In addition, performance at ELG Underground remained consistently strong as mining rates averaged more than 3,000 tpd. With Media Luna and ELG Underground operating at or above design levels, and first production from Media Luna North on track by the end of this year, the Company has initiated an internal evaluation of potential opportunities to increase plant throughput and expand production.

"Quarterly finished production (prior to payable deductions) of 100,874 AuEq oz was influenced by mine sequencing, which resulted in most production from Media Luna coming from lower grade and lower recovery stopes of the mine, together with modestly lower throughput given an extended planned maintenance period at the processing plant and some additional unplanned maintenance in February to replace bolts and grates at the SAG mill. With access to higher grade and recovery stopes forecast to pick-up mid-year, quarterly production is expected to remain at similar levels during Q2 before increasing in the second half of the year, consistent with annual guidance.

"With solid momentum built in Q1 out of the mines, we are well-placed to deliver on full-year production guidance which, coupled with the current metal price environment, bodes well for significant free cash flow generation in 2026 and beyond. The strong free cash flow will enable us to aggressively return capital to shareholders through both dividends and share repurchases, execute on our robust exploration program to extend mine life at Morelos, unlock value across our portfolio of assets, and maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet."

During the first quarter, the Company repurchased 2,141,801 shares (2.2% of shares outstanding at year-end 2025) at an average price of C$70.69 per share and paid a quarterly dividend of C$0.15 per share. The Company continues to opportunistically repurchase shares in the open market.
