(TSX: DNG) (\u201cDynacor\u201d or the &#8220;Corporation&#8221;)\u00a0<\/strong>is pleased to provide a corporate update covering operations and progress on its expansion plan within West Africa and Latin America.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Operational Update<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Following lifting of the road blockades in mid-July, ore supply to the mill resumed and operations are running at full capacity again. The Corporation is strongly focused on achieving its guidance by maximising its production and purchasing and rolling out its mill optimization projects.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Since their launch and implementation by Dynacor\u2019s new teams, the optimization projects are beginning to improve mill efficiency and productivity. Among others, they have reduced reagent consumption; are redefining and implementing management processes and procedures; and are improving both the laboratory and water consumption; and optimized the tailings pond. Supported by its reinforced operations and experienced teams, Dynacor is well-positioned to drive a stronger second half.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Expansion Update<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\"><strong>Senegal <\/strong>\u2013 Dynacor\u2019s construction of a pilot plant in Senegal continues to progress on schedule. Mobilisation of the construction team has begun on site. Work on a three-kilometer access road, land clearance and fencing will begin once the rainy season ends in September. At the end of September, construction of the tailings ponds is scheduled to commence.\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Delivery of the modular pilot plant is expected in Q4, and first ore remains on target for Q1-2026.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\"><strong>Ecuador <\/strong>\u2013 Since signing the share purchase agreement to acquire the Svetlana processing plant in July, the Dynacor team has begun defining its new corporate structure, planning the upgrade of the plant, and building company awareness locally.\n<ul type=\"circle\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\"><u>Corporate structure<\/u> \u2013 The Corporation\u2019s banking, legal and fiscal frameworks are being set up with the relevant authorities, and discussions are advancing with MPCEIP, Ecuador\u2019s Ministry of Production, Foreign Trade, Investment and Fisheries regarding signing of an Investment Protection Agreement (IPA). The IPA is a government-backed contract that grants legal, tax and regulatory stability for investors in return for committing to execute an individual investment project.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\"><u>Plant upgrades<\/u> \u2013 Definition of the scope of work for the requests for quotation is advancing well. Immediate priorities include the assessment of the active tailings pond, and safe decommissioning of the two historic tailings ponds in line with international standards. A comprehensive overview of the main electrical substation is also planned to facilitate the commissioning of large motors. Most remaining plant personnel have been retained, facilitating knowledge transfer and improving operational readiness.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\"><u>Stakeholder engagement<\/u> \u2013 Following its government approval, the Dynacor team will shortly commence the social participation process for the supplementary study of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) plan for the Svetlana plant. During this information phase, Dynacor will liaise with community members, providing detailed explanations on its environmental management plan and community relations program. Given the absence of community dialogue since plant closure, the Corporation is looking forward to the opportunity to introduce Dynacor, its focus on fostering shared value with local stakeholders, and its track record of responsible environmental stewardship.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\"><strong>Ghana <\/strong>\u2013 Building on productive meetings with GoldBod, the Ministry of Lands and Natural Resources and the Minerals Commission of Ghana in July, the Corporation is engaged in discussions with the Ghanaian government regarding its business plan.<\/li>\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:6pt;text-align:justify\"><strong>C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire \u2013 <\/strong>Dynacor continues to monitor revision of the mining code but does not expect a decision before the presidential election in October.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"justify\">The Corporation remains on schedule for generating more than US$1 billion in sales by 2030.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"photo Senegal\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/Resource\/Download\/e216813c-aaf2-409e-9372-c356ff23ccd6\/photo-senegal.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><br \/>A 3-kilometer stretch of the Senegalese property road will be improved to support pilot plant operations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"photo Ecuador\" height=\"414\" src=\"https:\/\/ml.globenewswire.com\/Resource\/Download\/041b311b-3d6b-4d1a-b6a2-ac7a6a70b2b8\/photo-ecuador.jpg\" width=\"600\" \/><br \/>The Dynacor team met with Ecuador\u2019s Ministry of Production, Foreign Trade, Investments and Fisheries.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>About<\/strong> <strong>Dynacor<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Dynacor Group is an industrial ore processing company dedicated to producing gold sourced from artisanal miners.
