Torq Announces Debt Settlement and Corporate Update

Torq faces tight liquidity after a dilutive financing round, a director exit, and debt settlement.

Executive Summary

Torq Resources Inc. (TORQ) announced a debt settlement valued at approximately $510,000, structured as roughly $400,000 in units that match the terms of the August 20 private placement and approximately $110,000 in shares issued at $0.05. The company also reported that Director Marie-Hélène Turgeon resigned from the board effective immediately, concluding a five-year tenure. Additionally, Torq terminated its investor relations agreement with Kin Communications, with the termination effective July 31, 2026. Completion of the debt settlement is targeted for September 2026, contingent upon receiving approval from the TSX Venture Exchange and finalizing settlement agreements.

Material Impact

Torq Resources Inc. (TORQ) executed a debt settlement as a direct follow-up to its August 20, 2026 private placement. The transaction does not introduce new capital or change the company's fundamental liquidity profile.

Additionally, the company announced a director resignation and the termination of its investor relations function. These adjustments appear to reflect internal restructuring or cost-cutting measures but do not materially alter Torq Resources Inc.'s operational trajectory or financial position.

The developments are consistent with the company's stated objective to manage near-term liabilities and extend its loan facility. The announcements carry no new market-moving information.
