Torex Completes In-Fill Drilling Program at El Limon Sur
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jun 26, 2014) - Torex Gold
Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX:TXG)(TSX:TXG.WT) is
pleased to announce completion of its in-fill drilling program
covering the near-surface portion of the El Limon Sur area at its
El Limon-Guajes Gold Project in Mexico. Highlighted intercepts from
the in-fill drilling include 22.2 g/t Au over 12.3m in borehole
LS-02, 7.2 g/t Au over 34.1m in borehole LS-20, 4.8 g/t Au over
23.5m in borehole LS-33, and 8.0 g/t Au over 15.2m in borehole
LS-41. The El Limon Sur area is located on the south face of El
Limon hill.
Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex stated: "The intent
of this drilling program is to upgrade the inferred resources at El
Limon Sur to the indicated category. The drill program results have
been submitted to AMEC for resource modelling and we expect to have
an updated resource estimate available in early August. With that
upgraded information our teams can then put together a mine plan
with the objective of taking advantage of the processing plant
capacity that is available during the ramp up of the Guajes and El
Limon pits in 2016. The proximity of El Limon Sur to the El Limon
access road and the near surface nature of the mineralization, make
El Limon Sur an excellent potential source of additional feed for
the processing plant during the ramp-up period." He added, "In
order to minimize risks to the schedule, the process for developing
the permit applications is already underway."

The El Limon Sur
area is located on the south face of El Limon hill. Mineralization
is situated along a southwest-trending ridge and extends
approximately 725 m. In this program, thirty-eight diamond drill
holes were completed over selected portions of the El Limon Sur
area. These holes, in-fill portions of inferred resources that were
estimated from 42 previous holes (see Guajes and El Limon Open Pit
Deposits, Updated Mineral Resource Statement, NI 43-101 Technical
Report dated June 18, 2012). The current program had the objective
of delineating the boundaries of the near-surface;
easily-accessible portions of the inferred resources and to in-fill
the drill-spacing within these areas to potentially allow for
upgrading of the resources to a minable class. Mineralization at El
Limon Sur remains partially open at depth, however the objective of
the current drilling is to test only near-surface areas.
The El Limon Sur
area is underlain by a similar stratigraphic succession as the
southeastern portion of the El Limon deposit. In general,
marbleized and hornfelsed sedimentary rocks are in contact with the
El Limon granodiorite intrusive. Post mineralization, felsic dikes
and sills are also common. Pyroxene-garnet skarn occurs along the
contact between hornfels or marble and granodiorite.
There are two main
areas of near-surface gold mineralization at El Limon Sur that are
separated by a zone of mostly barren granodiorite. The northernmost
mineralized area is characterized by retrograde-altered exoskarn.
The exoskarn contains sulfides and local argillic alteration. The
southern mineralized area is smaller in extent and consists of
dominantly endoskarn along with hydrothermal breccias. The
hydrothermal breccias are developed within skarn and often display
thin laminations and size-graded layering. The mineralized zones
are strongly oxidized in the near-surface.
QA/QC and Qualified Persons
All of the El Limon Sur project analytical work is performed by
SGS de Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("SGS") in Mexico and/or Acme Analytical
Laboratories Mexico S.A. de C.V. ("ACME").
Sample preparation is done at a dedicated sample preparation
laboratory operated by SGS at the project site in Nuevo Balsas,
Guerrero, Mexico, and/or at a dedicated sample preparation
laboratory operated by ACME at Guadalajara, Mexico. The gold
analyses (fire assay with an atomic absorption or gravimetric
finish) and multi-element geochemical analyses are completed at an
analytical laboratory operated by SGS at the project site in Nuevo
Balsas, Guerrero, Mexico and at their analytical facilities in
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, respectively. The gold
analyses (fire assay with an atomic absorption or gravimetric
finish) and multi-element geochemical analyses are completed by
ACME at their analytical facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada.
The Company has a Quality Assurance/Quality Control ("QA/QC")
program in place that includes 5% of each of the certified
reference materials, blanks, field duplicates and preparation
duplicates for the grassroots exploration drilling program, with
the objective of the QA/QC program being to ensure the
batch-to-batch relative bias remains constant and that absolute
accuracy at anomalous to near cut-off grades is measured and
acceptable. The QA/QC program as designed has been approved by AMEC
and is currently overseen by Cristian Puentes, Chief Exploration
Geologist for MML.
The scientific and technical data contained in this news release
