- Structure outcrops had lengths ranging from 100 to 600 meters;
- High grade silver mineralization was found in three structures: Anta vein (up to 43.37 oz/t Ag and 3.38% Cu over 0.3 m) and the Aragonés vein (20.89 oz/t Ag and 0.47% Cu over a TW of 0.3 m) as well as in the Manto Norte (13.51 oz/t Ag and 0.31 % Cu over a TW of 0.80 m);
- High grade gold mineralization was found in one structure: Manto Antezana – A 150-meter long outcrop of the Manto Antezana returned an average gold grade of 12.87 g/t with an average TW of 0.1 m, including a channel sample grading 99.67 g/t gold, 6.59 oz/t silver and 0.6% copper (TW = 0.1m); and finally
- High lead and zinc grades was found in two structures: Huanca vein (up to 11.41% Pb over a TW of 0.2 m and 1.19% Zn over a TW of 0.3m) and in the Manto Norte (up to 12.2 % lead (TW of 0.2m) and 19.16 % zinc (TW of 0.2m).
The three (3) most significant channel sample assays for each structure are given in Table 1. Outcrop lengths, number of channel samples, true width (TW) ranges for each structure as well as the average measured grades for the six (6) structures are given in Table 2.

Conclusions
These first results are very encouraging since the channel samples from surface outcroppings show high gold and silver grades as well as high base metal grades for copper, lead and zinc. In order to further explore the potential of this property a surface diamond drilling campaign is warranted in order to find the depth extensions with economic grades of these six (6) structures.
Sampling Methodology, Analysis and QA/QC procedures
Trenches were excavated to remove the quaternary overburden and expose surface outcrops of each structure. A total of 360 channel samples were taken over 1,800 meters of the six studied outcrops. In general, channel samples were located every 5 meters along the outcrops.
In late 2014, Geologica Groupe Conseil from Val d’Or, Canada visited the Anta property and took some samples. Their results are reported in an Annex to this press release.
The samples were sent to the internationally certified laboratory Certimin S.A. for analysis. Samples were assayed by ICP analysis and for base metal assays greater than 10,000 ppm for Ag and Cu were re-analysed by Ore Grade method OG62 for Ag and Cu and for gold assays greater than 10 g/t the samples were also analysed by FAA gravimetric finish. Standards, blanks and duplicates are used in the sampling process as part of the QA/QC methodology. Additional check samples were sent to SGS del Peru S.A.C and for carrying out spot check analysis verifications. The program, sampling, collection of samples and the QA/QC was implemented and followed by Alonso Sanchez, Chief Geologist for Dynacor Gold Mines, B.Eng.

Annex: Results obtained by Geologica Groupe Conseil, Val d’Or
Two veins (Anta and Aragonés veins) that have been mined by artisanal miners in the past were sampled by Geologica Groupe Conseil.
Four samples were collected, three samples were collected from the Anta Vein, one sample 7054 collected across the vein as chip samples returned an assay of 39.87 oz/t Ag (uncut assay) over a true width of 1.5 m and two samples in a muck pile of the Anta Vein returned assays of 7.59 oz/t Ag, 1.21 % Cu and 7.04 oz/t Ag (See Table A below). The fourth sample 7057 was collected across the Aragonés Vein as chip samples assaying 46.46 oz/t Ag (uncut assay) and 1.09% Cu over a true width of 1.5 m.
