Q2-2011 Operations Overview

Consolidated Results and Custom Milling Operations

Outlook

Dynacor has produced 21,734 ounces of gold at an average realized margin of $236 per ounce through the first six months of 2011. Management is pleased to reiterate its production guidance for 2011 with gold production of 45,000 ounces. The combination of the Company's expansion plans in the first two quarters, the operational execution of our milling crew and the continued strength of gold prices have allowed the year-to-date average gross margin per ounce to be above the guidance range of $230 per ounce.

Gold production from custom milling is expected to continue to increase in 2012 as a result of higher throughput at the mill.

The Company's $5.5 million drilling campaign at its 100% owned Tumipampa property will continue to advance in the second half of 2011. Dynacor plans to drill a total of 16,700 meters of which 1,830 meters were completed as at June 30, 2011. The objective is to focus on the 4.1 by 1.2 km skarn ore deposit in order to determine the depth of mineralization and verify the high-grade gold and copper mineralization discovered in surface channel samples. 

On January 1, 2011, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") became Canadian GAAP for publicly-accountable enterprises. DNG's interim and annual financial statements are therefore prepared in accordance with IFRS as of January 1, 2011, and comparable figures for 2010 have been restated accordingly. DNG has also therefore adopted the US dollar as its functional and reporting currency.
