MONTREAL, QUEBEC–(Marketwire – Jan. 11, 2013) – Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX:DNG) (Dynacor or the Company) is pleased to announce that the environmental impact assessment (EIA) for construction of a new gold ore-processing facility has been approved by the Peruvian authorities. The EIA is a major milestone and the final step in the process which leads to the construction permit. The Company expects to receive the construction permit within the next few weeks.

Dynacor’s new state of the art ore-processing facility will have an initial capacity of 300 tonnes per day (TPD). Notably, it is designed to be readily upgraded to 600 TPD.
