Dynacor Receives a Permit to Increase Production Capacity by 20% at Its Metallex (Huanca) Gold Processing Plant
MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Apr 15, 2015) - Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX:DNG)(OTC:DNGDF) (Dynacor or the Corporation) a Corporation with gold ore processing operations and exploration projects in Peru, is pleased to announce it has just obtained the expansion permit for its 100% owned gold ore-processing Metallex plant located in Huanca, Peru. The permit has been issued by the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MEM) in Lima and allows Dynacor to operate the plant at 102,000 tonnes per year (300 tonnes per day) up from the current 85,000 tonnes per year (250 tonnes per day), a 20% increase.
The upgrading process should be completed by the beginning of the next quarter at a cost of approximately $200,000. The Company will increase its ore-purchases thereafter and assuming a gradual rise in inventory expects to further boost its gold production in the second half of this year.
Construction of Dynacor's second gold ore-processing mill, the Veta Dorado (Chala) facility will begin shortly now that the permit has been issued (see news release dated March 18, 2015). This plant has been designed to process an initial 102,000 tonnes per year (300 tonnes per day) and can be readily expanded to 204,000 tonnes per year (600 tonnes per day).
Jean Martineau, Dynacor's President and CEO, stated "As of today, Dynacor's total permitted capacity of 204,000 tonnes per year (600 tonnes per day) places the Company at the forefront of the gold ore-processing sector in Peru. We are currently evaluating the feasibility of operating the Veta Dorada (Chala) and the Metallex (Huanca) plants simultaneously. This would enable Dynacor to fast track another substantial increase in production in 2016. Furthermore, our Company will have a clear advantage in the marketplace as compared to its competitors since its will have two fully permitted mills"
