OUTLOOK FOR 2009
Management expects that gold production from custom milling at the Acari facility should exceed 40,000 ounces of gold for fiscal 2009 based on a capacity of 180 tons per day.
Exploration activities in 2009, will be focussed on the Tumipampa property. Geophysical surveying of the entire property will be carried out in order to define the target areas for an upcoming diamond drilling campaign. These exploration activities are expected to begin in Q2 or Q3 of 2009.
Dynacor will, during 2009, further explore the main mineralized vein on the Acari property. Excavation deeper into the sulfidic zone will allow the Company to evaluate the potential recovery yield for copper and gold from this anoxic zone. To date Dynacor has invested $6.8M in the exploration of the Acari property.
In the short term no significant work is being planned for the Casaden property.
Finally, Dynacor is actively looking into the feasability of hooking up its Acari plant to the national electrical power grid. This would allow the Company to increase its custom milling capacity to 240 tons per day or more as well as significantly decrease its energy costs.
