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

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - November 5, 2025) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) (OTCQX: TORXF) announces its initial return of capital program, which is a key priority within the Company's capital allocation framework developed to maximize shareholder returns through all commodity cycles. The return of capital program will consist of a quarterly dividend of C$0.15 per Torex common share and discretionary share repurchases through the Company's normal course issuer bid ("NCIB"). During the third quarter of 2025, the Company repurchased C$10.0 million ($7.2 million) of shares under its current NCIB.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

"With the pivot back to positive free cash flow in June, the ramp-up of Media Luna tracking to plan, and modest levels of debt outstanding, the time is right to return capital to our shareholders through a sustainable quarterly dividend and opportunistic share repurchases. This mix of dividends and share repurchases balances the preferences, investment mandates, and styles of our diverse shareholder base.

"The return of capital plan announced today represents the first step towards a broader program, one which we expect to evolve through 2026 as our balance sheet continues to strengthen. As we advance our capital allocation priorities, including paying down debt and building a minimum cash balance of $200 million, we expect to provide more definitive thresholds with respect to the specific quantum of capital to be returned to shareholders on an annual basis.

"Given the robust free cash flow generation anticipated, even at more modest metal prices than we see today, we can return capital through dividends and share repurchases without impacting our ability to fund other capital allocation priorities to unlock future value. These plans include extending the mine life and enhancing margins at Morelos, advancing the recently acquired Los Reyes project through the development cycle and into production, and unlocking the geologic potential with robust drilling programs across our entire portfolio of projects throughout Mexico as well as Nevada.

"Overall, we see this initial return of capital program as a prudent next step in the evolution of our business; one which will reward our shareholders, and especially those that have supported Torex since the initial acquisition of Morelos more than 15 years ago."

Inaugural Quarterly Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors has declared an inaugural quarterly dividend of C$0.15 per share which is payable on December 4, 2025 to shareholders of record as at the close of business on November 20, 2025. The dividend qualifies as an "eligible dividend" for Canadian income tax purposes.

Based on the Company's closing share price of C$54.70 per share on the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") on November 4, 2025, the quarterly dividend declared implies a forward annualized dividend yield of 1.10%. Based on 96.1 million shares outstanding as of November 4, 2025, the total dividend to be paid in December is expected to be approximately C$14.4 million ($10.2 million).

Share Repurchase Program

The current NCIB commenced on November 21, 2024 and will expire on November 20, 2025. The Company intends to seek approval from the TSX to renew the NCIB for another year on substantially the same terms. Additional details will be provided at the time of the renewal following receipt of the requisite TSX approval.

Future share repurchases will be dependent on the underlying price of the Company's shares while considering long-term metal prices, internal cost of capital hurdle rates, and underlying market conditions.

Total Capital Returned

Year-to-date, the Company has returned C$10.0 million ($7.2 million) through share repurchases in Q3 2025. During this period, the Company repurchased 239,204 shares at an average price of C$41.79 per share. The Company has not repurchased any additional shares subsequent to quarter-end.
