President and CEO of Dynacor, Jean Martineau commented: "The earnings trend is up and, with a steady gold price, we fully expect this to continue into 2013 and beyond as we are en-route  to increase production substantially when our new mill at Chala, Peru starts production. Dynacor expects to begin the construction of its 300-tonne per day ore processing facility, shortly. Our auto-financed exploration and drilling campaign at Tumipampa is well underway and could add to the Company's value. We are proud of our achievements and would like to thank our employees for their commitment to the success of the Company."
