DynaResource Appoints Pedro Ignacio Teran Cruz as Executive V.P.; Director of Exploration and Resource Development
Mr. Teran Cruz is a graduate Geologist from the Universidad de Sonora, in Hermosillo, Mexico. He has over 30 years' experience in mineral exploration, block modeling, resource definition and mine development in Mexico. He is an esteemed geological consultant, and is credited with defining significant precious metals resources at several projects in Mexico.
Mr. K.D. Diepholz, Chairman/CEO of DynaUSA said, "Mr. Teran Cruz is one of the most respected and recognized geologists in Mexico, as confirmed by his recent appointment as Director of Geological Operations for SGM. And, with several years of previous experience in exploration and resource definition at San Jose de Gracia, Mr. Teran has acquired a thorough knowledge of the SJG District. The fact that Mr. Teran Cruz would elect to resign from SGM and to re-join DynaUSA in order to guide the current and future development of resources at SJG does confirm Mr. Teran's strong belief in DynaUSA and the SJG Project. With Mr. Teran Cruz leading the exploration and resource development at SJG, I expect DynaUSA, and Mineras de DynaResource SA de CV (the exclusive operating entity at SJG, "DynaMineras"), to immediately pursue the planning of further exploration programs at SJG and working in coordination with the current pilot production and underground mining operations currently being conducted at SJG by DynaMineras. With the addition of Mr. Teran to the management team of DynaUSA, which includes: Mr. Robert M. ("Chip") Allender Jr., Executive VP-Director of Mining Operations; and, Dr. Jose Vargas Lugo, President of Mexico Operations; DynaResource is now well positioned to advance SJG towards the Company's goal of defining a world class gold property. On behalf of the DynaUSA, I welcome Mr. Teran's return to the Company as the leader and technical guidance of the exploration and resource development of the SJG District."
Mr. Teran Cruz said, "I am excited to rejoin the DynaResource Companies, and to receive the opportunity to contribute to the further development of the San José de Gracia project. And, I see possibilities for growth opportunities that may be currently available or may arise in the future in the field of exploration at SJG, and for the generation and definition of additional mineral resources for DynaResource. I sincerely thank the entire DynaResource team, and especially I would like to thank Mr. Diepholz for his leadership provided to the DynaResource Companies, and for his confidence in providing the opportunity to me to re-engage my commitment towards building a great company at DynaResource. I recognize the opportunity again to be working with a premier resource property at San Jose de Gracia, and to be working together with a great team of people at DynaResource.
It was both a great honor and a great challenge for me to serve my country of Mexico as the Director of Geological Services for the Mexican Geological Service in Mexico. During my time in this federal agency position, I have been enriched with the knowledge and experience of resource properties in Mexico, and in the various strategies and practices of mineral exploration. I expect to utilize my expanded knowledge and experience in order to assist me with my new responsibilities at San Jose de Gracia, and for DynaResource."

Important Cautionary Note Regarding Canadian Disclosure Standards:
The Company is an "OTC Reporting Issuer" as that term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 51-509, Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets, promulgated by various Canadian provincial Securities Commissions.
Accordingly, certain disclosure in this news release or other disclosure provided by the Company has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. In Canada, an issuer is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization, including reserves and resources, if any, on its mineral exploration properties in accordance with Canadian requirements, which differ significantly from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") applicable to registration statements and reports filed by United States companies pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As such, information contained in this news release or other disclosure provided by the Company concerning descriptions of mineralization under Canadian standards may not be comparable to similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC and not subject to Canadian securities legislation. This news release or other disclosure provided by the Company may use the terms "measured mineral resources," "indicated mineral resources" and "inferred mineral resources." While these terms are recognized and required by Canadian regulations (under National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects), the SEC does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted to reserves. In addition, "inferred mineral resources" have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian securities legislation, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies, although they may form, in certain circumstances, the basis of a "preliminary economic assessment" as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects. U.S. investors are cautioned not to assume that part or all of an inferred mineral resource exists, or is economically or legally mineable.

Certain assumptions have been made regarding the Company's plans at the San Jose de Gracia property. Many of these assumptions are based on factors and events that are not within the control of DynaResource and there is no assurance they will prove to be correct. Such factors include, without limitation: capital requirements, fluctuations in the international currency markets and in the rates of exchange of the currencies of the United States and México; price volatility in the spot and forward markets for commodities; discrepancies between actual and estimated production, between actual and estimated reserves and resources and between actual and estimated metallurgical recoveries; changes in national and local governments in any country which DynaResource currently or may in the future carry on business; taxation; controls; regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in which DynaResource does or may carry on business; the speculative nature of mineral exploration and development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits, diminishing quantities or grades of reserves; competition; loss of key employees; additional funding requirements; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities; changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined; accidents; labor disputes; defective title to mineral claims or property or contests over claims to mineral properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral exploration, development and mining, including environmental hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave-ins, flooding and gold bullion losses (and the risk of inadequate insurance or inability to obtain insurance, to cover these risks) as well as those risks referenced in the Annual Report for DynaResource available at www.sec.gov. Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future performance and actual results and future events could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking information.
