About Dynacor Gold Mines Inc.
Dynacor is a gold ore-processing and exploration corporation active in Peru since 1996. The corporation differentiates itself from pure exploration companies as it generates income from its wholly owned ore-processing plant. The corporation’s assets include three exploration properties, including the advanced high-grade gold Tumipampa property and an operating gold and silver ore processing mill at Metalex-Huanca. The corporation is currently building a new 300 tpd ore processing plant in Chala (Southern Peru) and expects to begin operations in mid-2016. This new plant represents an important milestone for the corporation’s future growth. The corporation’s strength and competitive advantage comes with the experience and knowledge it has developed while working in Peru. Its pride remains in maintaining respect and positive work ethics toward its employees, partners and local communities.
