TORONTO, Nov. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The employee and contractor team at Torex Gold Resources Inc. (the “Company” or “Torex”) (TSX: TXG) is proud to announce that the threshold of 10 million hours worked without a lost-time injury has been crossed at the Company’s El Limón-Guajes (ELG) operations in Mexico.

Jody Kuzenko, President and CEO, stated:

“I’m so proud of our entire team for achieving this exceptional milestone -- truly industry-leading performance from an industry-leading team. I have always believed that when we get safety right, operational and financial performance follows suit, and we certainly see that ring true in terms of our year to date results.

“I credit this excellence in safety performance to the strong workplace culture that, over time, our team has built together. This kind of performance doesn’t ‘just happen’ – it’s achieved through a culture of effective leadership, interconnected systems, disciplined adherence to clear rules, and lived values that, in turn, inspire everyone to willingly give their best every day so that production is achieved and no lives are lost or changed due to workplace injury.

“As we look toward the future, we will continue to generate significant value by delivering safe ounces of gold – the only ones that count.”
