Irving, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - January 21, 2025) - DynaResource, Inc. (OTCQX: DYNR) ("DynaResource", or "the Company") is pleased to announce its preliminary 2024 operating results and 2025 production guidance along with an associated financial outlook for its San Jose de Gracia mine in Mexico, underscoring the Company's ongoing commitment to operational excellence, disciplined capital management and future growth via exploration.
2025 Guidance Highlights:
Gold Production: 27,000 to 30,000 gold ounces
All-In Sustaining Costs (AISC): $1,850-$2,050 per ounce produced
Sustaining Capital Expenditures (Capex): $4.8-5.8 million
Exploration Expenditures of $2.5-3 million
The Company anticipates a capital-intensive first half of the year as it continues to invest in key projects to enhance operational efficiency and future growth. These strategic investments are expected to position the Company to achieve increasing operating cash flow in the second half of 2025. Production is expected to come mostly from the San Pablo and Mochomera deposits with a minor contribution from the Tres Amigos deposit. A number of investments made in 2024 and planned during 2025 are expected to increase average throughput rates to over 800 tonnes per day. The planned increase in production from higher throughput rates will allow the mine to have a strong cost structure in 2025.
"We are confident in our 2025 production and cost guidance as it reflects both our focus on maximizing gold output and maintaining prudent cost controls," said Rohan Hazelton, CEO of DynaResource. "The planned investments in the first half of the year will strengthen our operations and deliver long-term value to our shareholders, while the expected further increase in operating cash margins in the latter half of 2025 marks a key milestone for our business. As part of the capital investment program the company is investing in exploration. Exploration expenditures will consist of a balanced program focusing on exploring extensions (lateral and at depth) to existing operating mines as well as step out targets within the 5 kilometer mineralized structural corridor which hosts all our current mining deposits and known targets as well as numerous unexplored historical mines."
Exploration expenditures expected of $2.5-3 million are expected to be a combination of underground and surface drill campaigns.
December 2024 production highlights include:
1,968 ounces of gold production
Average grade of 4.18 g/t gold
18,966 tons milled
Average tons milled per day of 580

Average gold grade in December rose 4% from November to 4.18 g/t Au due to strong contributions from higher grade zones in Mochomera and San Pablo. Throughput was negatively affected by power outages and resulting equipment damages, in particular, the motor for the 8x12 ball mill which was offline for a total of 21 days in December. Mill throughput was supplemented by rehabilitating two older ball mills. The process plant has a total of 5 ball mills and associated flotation circuits, which provides flexibility in the circuit.
Full year production of 25, 677 ounces of gold fell within the Company's updated guidance.
The Company remains committed to creating value through responsible mining practices, and growth via exploration while delivering sustainable returns for shareholders and contributing positively to the communities in which it operates. DynaResource remains focused on operational efficiency, cost management, and delivering sustainable growth for its shareholders.
The Company will issue its 2024 full year financial results in March 2025.
