Torex Continues to Expand the Strike Length  

TORONTO, ON - Torex Gold Resources Inc. reported that its on-going drill program continues to verify the geological model of mineralization adjacent to the granodiorite intrusion at its Morelos Gold Project in Mexico. Step out drilling results, at its Guajes West deposit, further confirm the continuation of high grade mineralization along the intrusion to the northwest, in the direction of the Guajes East deposit. Main intercepts include 21.4g/t Au over 3.4m in borehole TMP-1146, 15.22g/t over 20.1m in borehole TMP-1213 and 3.01g/t over 15.2m in borehole TMP-1150. Step out drilling to the southwest of the Guajes West deposit in the direction of the Balsas River, returned intercepts that suggest for the first time a possible continuation of the deposit and that extend the known mineralized zone of the deposit by approximately 150m to the southwest.

"We are excited to see that the gap between Guajes West and Guajes East deposits is rapidly closing," said Fred Stanford, President & CEO of Torex. "In addition, we are seeing for the first time, results that suggest the possible extension of the Guajes West deposit to the southwest, in the direction of the Balsas River. This adds to the evidence that the mineralization continues along the main intrusion. We expect to continue our resource drilling program north of the Balsas River until the end of this year and look forward to meeting our internal goal of 5 million ounces of gold in the measured and indicated category by the time we announce our new resource estimate by the end of Q1/2012," he added.
