MONTREAL, Sept. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX: DNG) (Dynacor or the Corporation), an international leading ore purchasing and processing corporation servicing artisanal and small-scale miners (ASM), provides an update from its Veta Dorada plant in southern Peru.

Gold ore supply since the reopening of the mill is exceeding managements expectations. For July and August 2020, Dynacor purchased 14,224 tons of gold ore and produced 8,625 ounces. Gold grades and ore supply are consistently increasing on month by month basis since the plant reopening. Gold ore purchases in June, July and August 2020 are 4,044, 6,075 and 8,149 tons of gold ore, respectively. Management expects ore purchases in Q3-2020 (July-September) to be its best quarter year to date.

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic country-wide shutdown, the Peruvian government on March 16, 2020, prohibited all ASM mining operations to June 4, 2020. Abiding by the government quarantine restrictions, it was impossible and illegal to produce and transport any ASM ore during this period. The Peruvian government published a decree approving phase 2 reopening of economic activities on June 4, 2020. On June 6, 2020, Dynacor partially resumed operations with expectations of a return to full operating capacity of 300 tonnes per day before September 30, 2020.
