American Marconi Wireless News - Torq Resources Provides Operations Update

The program consisted of five holes totaling 4,062 metres, designed to test the previously undrilled Gemelos Norte target and to follow up on the new discovery at Pircas Norte made during the 2024 drill campaign (please refer to the attached map for drill collar locations). The costs of this drilling were borne by Gold Fields which has entitled it to an initial 10% interest in the project. The Company is awaiting a decision from Gold Fields as to whether they intend to proceed to increase their interest in the project by funding additional programs.

Shawn Wallace, CEO of Torq, commented: "We are very pleased to have completed our first program under our earn-in option agreement with Goldfields at the highly prospective Santa Cecilia project. Our team is now leveraging insights from this recent work to design the next drill campaign, targeting an early spring start in Chile. We are eagerly awaiting the drill results from the recently completed program and will release them as soon as they are available. We believe 2025 will be a pivotal year for Torq shareholders."

In addition, the Company is also announcing the grant of incentive stock options, subject to customary stock exchange approvals, for the purchase of 12,700,000 common shares, of which 8,750,000 were granted to directors and officers of the Company and an IR consultant. The options are exercisable at $0.10 and expire five years from the date of grant.
