In mid-2021, Dynacor completed the expansion of its Veta Dorada plant reaching 430 tpd, approximately 25% higher than the previous 345 tpd.

Dynacor is budgeting between US$5 - $8 million for capital expenses in 2022, which includes sustainable capital at the Veta Dorada plant for additional capacity expansion. This also includes US$1.0 million for an 8-hole diamond drilling program, totalling 2,735 meters, at the company’s 100% owned, advanced stage Tumipampa gold exploration property in south central Peru’s Apurimac department, subject to reaching a work agreement with local communities. The company is continuing to assess other opportunities of growth in Peru as well as in other jurisdictions.
