(Kitco News) - Torex Gold Resources Inc. (TSX: TXG) announces its first gold pour of an estimated 350 ounces, and a similar amount of silver, in dore from its El Limon-Guajes Mine in Mexico.

The entire processing circuit, from crushing through to dry stack tailings disposal, is now operational, the company says.

“For the uninitiated, it can be difficult to envision the number and size of the hurdles that they must clear in order to build a mine, plant, and infrastructure of this scale and complexity,” says Fred Stanford, president and chief executive officer.

Commercial production is expected to be achieved on schedule in the second quarter.

Torex is a growth-oriented, Canadian-based resource company engaged in the exploration and development of its 100% owned Morelos Gold Property, an area of 29,000 hectares in the Guerrero Gold Belt located 180 kilometers southwest of Mexico City.
