Torex Gold Reports Enhanced Return of Capital Program

Targeting to return $350 million in 2026 through share repurchases and dividends

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

Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Torex") (TSX: TXG) (OTCQX: TORXF) announces an enhanced return of capital program, which builds on the Company's inaugural program announced in November 2025. Under the enhanced program, Torex is targeting to return $350 million to shareholders in 2026 through a combination of share repurchases and dividends, including capital returns through the end of March. For the second quarter of 2026, the Company has declared a quarterly dividend of C$0.16 per share, which reflects a 7% increase over the prior quarterly dividend of $0.15 per share which was first declared in November 2025.

Jody Kuzenko, President & CEO of Torex, stated:

"The enhancements we have made in returning capital to our shareholders reflects our confidence in the underlying strength and free cash flow potential of the business without compromising our ability to execute on other key capital allocation priorities, especially within the current price environment for gold, silver, and copper.

"At current metal prices, we expect to generate more than $650 million in free cash flow in 2026. The $350 million of capital we expect to return to shareholders represents approximately 55% of forecasted free cash flow for the year (approximately 40% before non-sustaining capital expenditures). This builds on the $165 million that has been returned to shareholders to date through dividends and share repurchases since returning to positive free cash flow in June 2025, including $121 million returned during the first quarter of 2026.

"As we evolve our return of capital program through sustainable dividends and share repurchases, we will continue to allocate capital to drive long-term value by 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 value through robust drilling programs across our entire portfolio of assets in Mexico as well as Nevada."

Quarterly Dividend

The Company's Board of Directors has declared a quarterly dividend of C$0.16 per common share which is payable on June 4, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 21, 2026. The dividend qualifies as an eligible dividend for Canadian income tax purposes.

Based on Torex's closing share price of C$55.62 per share on May 5, 2026, the quarterly dividend declared implies a forward annualized dividend yield of approximately 1.1%. Based on 93,749,407 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026, the total dividend to be paid in June is expected to be C$15.0 million ($11.0 million).

Share Repurchase Program

Torex plans to purchase shares under its existing NCIB program, which the Company renewed on November 20, 2025.

Through March 31, 2026, the Company has repurchased 2,416,468 shares at an average price per share of C$69.81 under the current NCIB, including 2,141,801 shares at an average price per share of C$70.69 during the first quarter of 2026. Share repurchases during the first quarter represent a 2.2% reduction in shares outstanding since the start of the year.
