Irving, November 14, 2024 - DYNR-DynaResource Inc. (OTCQX:DYNR) ("DynaResource", or the "Company") is pleased to report results for its third quarter 2024 ("Q3 2024"). Results for the quarter demonstrated improved operational efficiencies as the Company continues implanting an optimization program at its flagship San Jose de Gracia Mine and has well positioned the Company to achieve its production throughput target rate of 25,500 tons per month in the fourth quarter 2024.

Q3 2024 Highlights:

• Revenue of $11.2 million in Q3 2024, an 83% increase over Q3 2023

• Steady month over month growth in metal production leading into Q4 2024

• Milled throughput of 61,900 tons, a 27% improvement over Q3 2023

• Daily mill throughput average of over 750 tons per day in September 2024

• Significant progress towards reinstating profitability at the San Jose de Gracia Mine

• The Company is targeting 2024 production in the range of 26,000-27,000 gold ounces

"We are very pleased with the continued improvements achieved at San Jose de Gracia," stated Rohan Hazelton, President & CEO DynaResource. "A key focus of the optimization program is to restore the mine to profitability through cutting costs and improving operational efficiencies. This quarter we saw headway towards that goal with significant improvements on the bottom line, improving the Company's Net Loss position of $2.9 million in Q2 2024 to $0.8 million in the current quarter, exiting the quarter on a positive note generating a Net Income position in September 2024."

He continued, "While there was not a large focus on exploration this quarter, the Company will recommence exploration activities in Q4 2024 with near-mine extension drilling on the property and expanding to surrounding areas by year end. Exploration will focus on growing the known resources at the mine, prioritizing high-grade underground targets that can readily be brought into the mine plan as well as the continued regional program to better understand the potential of the significant land package at San Jose de Gracia."

Q3 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Operational Performance at San Jose de Gracia

Throughout Q3 2024, the Company has remained focused on developing and implementing the optimization program at the San Jose de Gracia Mine aimed at increasing throughput and recoveries and improving maintenance and equipment usage with the goal of improved operational efficiencies and profit margins at the mine level.

Operational results for the quarter demonstrated significantly improved efficiencies as a direct result of the ongoing optimization program with a steady improvement as the quarter proceeded with metal production of 1,983 ounces of gold in July, 1,601 ounces of gold in August and 2,092 ounces of gold in September. August production was impacted by the installation of a new vibrating screen and ancillary construction which resulted in a mill shut down for 5 days. Total metal production in Q3 2024 was 5,676 ounces of gold, a 9% decrease from 6,231 ounces of gold the previous quarter and a 12% decrease from 6,469 ounces of gold in Q3 2023. The decrease in ounces produced was a result of the decrease in feed grade from 3.91 g/t in Q2 2024 to 3.78 g/t in Q3 2024 compared to 5.09 g/t in Q3 2023.

Milled throughput for Q3 2024 was 61,900 tons, demonstrating a 7% decrease compared to 66,775 tons in Q2 2024 and a 27% improvement over 48,700 tons in Q3 2023.

Based on this steady increased rate of production management believes it will achieve its production target rate of 25,500 tons per month in the fourth quarter 2024.

Through significant capital investment made in Q2 and Q3 2024, the Company has made several upgrades to the plant, increased access to working faces and improved the utilization and productivity of current infrastructure.

A new vibrating screen was installed in the crushing circuit in August 2024 which has resulted in a more consistent and overall improved mill performance which is demonstrated by September's performance of an average of 770 tons per day produced. Subsequent to quarter end, October production was averaging 825 tons per day with further improvements expected. Improvements to the flotation circuit have led to improvements in grades with steady month over month increases in the metallurgical results achieved.

At the plant level, metallurgical test works with new reagents also resulted in an optimized flow sheet and demonstrated the ability to deliver up to a 79% recovery, under certain conditions. The Company is working to improve the consistency of plant recoveries.

The near completion of a new drift into a new working mining face that is expected to come into production in the La Mochomera deposit and the improved access to working faces through the completion of an access road to reach the San Pablo deposit have and should continue to contribute to improved throughput rates. This should also have a positive impact on grades as better access to high-grade zones is gained.

Detailed activities from the three main deposits include:

Tres Amigos
At the Tres Amigos vein north zone a new ore drive was completed in the upper levels enabling further access to this high-grade vein via a new mining face. Mining from this face was incorporated into Q3 2024 production and should continue throughout 2024 and into 2025 as mining this is one of the main sources of high-grade ore to the mill. This newly gained access should also enable diamond drilling deeper with a lateral extension toward this untested north and south extension with the goal of increasing mineable inventory.

San Pablo Viejo and San Pablo Sur
Throughout the quarter the Company continued active mining from multiple faces at the San Pablo deposit while continuing development work on the access to the San Pablo deposit. Mining from San Pablo Viejo and San Pablo Sur is planned to be a large source of gold production throughout 2025 and beyond as the recently completed south extension at the 500 level has opened up access to material demonstrating the possibility of bonanza grades that could be brought into the mine plan in the short to mid-term.

Mochomera
The Mochomera vein is also expected to be an important source of gold production during 2025 and 2026 and with particularly interesting high-grade opportunities at depth, which also remains open.

Outlook at San Jose de Gracia

With Q3 2024 demonstrating more normalized operations, the Company believes that San Jose de Gracia is well positioned for further operational improvements in Q4 2024 and into 2025. Based on this steady increased rate of production management believes it will achieve its production throughput target rate of 25,500 tons per month in the fourth quarter 2024.

While the Company made significant headway in Q3 2024, the continued effort to optimize operations will remain focused on improving ore to the mill, throughput rates, and recoveries. The Company anticipates that San Pablo Sur, San Pablo, Mochomera and the Tres Amigos ore bodies will continue to be the main contributors to production in the year ahead and into the near future. The third quarter results discussed demonstrate steady progress due to new investments and operational changes. As a result, the Company anticipates a significant improvement in Q4 2024.

As a result of the capital investments made to the mine and mill, exploration expenditure was minimal, limiting available high-grade resources ready for short term mining. In the near term, exploration will drill targets that are expected to continue to grow the existing high-grade ore resources and increase mineable inventory.

The Company has continued to invest exploration spending in both near-mine extensions and geological studies and interpretation. The Company plans to complete an NI 43-101 (and SK1300) Mineral Resource Estimate Update in Q4 2024 at San Jose de Gracia to San Pablo Sur, San Pablo, Mochomera and Tres Amigos ore bodies which will include development proposals for additional exploration for ore veins in the short and mid-term.

The Company expects to start near-mine extension drilling on the property in November 2024 and expand to surrounding areas by year end. It is anticipated that exploration will focus on growing the known resources at SJG.

The Company intends to prioritize drilling high grade underground targets that can readily be brought into the mine plan as well as the continued regional program to better understand the potential of the significant land package at SJG. Additionally, planning for deeper and lateral drilling in between the San Pablo and Tres Amigos veins has highlighted the potential for extending the high-grade underground resource at SJG, especially in zones that were previously thought to be discontinuous such as near faulting, and has identified the opportunity to develop San Pablo, San Pablo Sur, Mochomera and Tres Amigos exploration potential. At the Mochomera deposit, the Company plans to explore high grade potential toward south to Palos Chinos and Purisima historical mines which operated over 100 years ago as high-grade mines.

A new tailings dam was completed during the quarter with a total estimated storage capacity of 670,751 cubic meters distributed in two stages to hold additional future tailings for approximately 4.5 years. Planning and estimating the third stage of the tailings expansion project is still in process.

Financial Performance

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $31,715,963 and $28,980,618. Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was $11,203,505 and $6,115,370. The increase was a result of an increase in tonnage mined and processed, and higher gold prices.

Costs associated with test mining activities (mine production costs) for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $11,231,687 and $8,022,328. Mine production costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $3,714,777 and $2,553,369. The Company allocates total test mining costs between production and waste based on tonnage mined. These costs were directly related to the extraction of mine tonnage to be processed at the pilot mill facility. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company test mined 174,292 tons of material compared to 146,213 tons in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Mine exploration costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $8,120,521 and $7,318,836. Mine exploration costs for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $2,870,904 and $2,854,863. Mine exploration costs are the costs of extracting waste material in order to reach the tonnage of material to be extracted for processing at the pilot mill facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 the Company mined 137,538 tons of waste compared to 132,713 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Mill production costs related to sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $3,943,588 and $5,004,260.
