+Added: Machinery and Equipment
+Added: Mining Camp Expansion
+Added: The Company is currently in the middle of exploration drilling to further define mineralization and in 2022 expended $2,484,072 for this drilling.
+Added: The Company is currently an exploration stage issuer and is reporting all costs of mine operations, improvements, and expansion as expenses in accordance with section 1300 of Regulation S-K and United States General Accepted Accounting Principal (GAAP) requirements, and therefore the above costs are not reflected as capitalized expenses (assets) on the Company’s balance sheet.
+Added: ACCESSIBILITY, CLIMATE, LOCAL RESOURCES, INFRASTRUCTURE AND PHYSIOGRAPHY
+Added: Topography, Physiography, and Vegetation
+Added: The topography of the San José de Gracia district is generally rugged with elevations varying from 400 meters in the valley bottoms to over 1600 meters in the higher Sierra.
+Added: A network of small roads and tracks winds around areas nearer the old workings at San José de Gracia.
+Added: Access to the remainder of the large property at the current stage of development is difficult without the use of horse or helicopter.
+Added: The SJG Project can be accessed by road, from either the City of Culiacan or the City of Guamuchil.
+Added: Either route goes through the small town of Sinaloa de Leyva, then from Sinaloa de Leyva by gravel mountainous road to the village of San José de Gracia (population 250), which covers approximately 90 kilometers and is roughly a five hour trip.
+Added: The SJG Project can also be accessed by air.
+Added: A gravel airstrip is located adjacent to the San Jose de Gracia Village.
+Added: The airstrip is suitable for light aircraft and charter flights of 45 minutes duration are available from the cities of Los Mochis or Culiacan.
+Added: Much of the labor for the recent mining and production activities of DynaMexico was provided by the village residents.
+Added: Although the village provided approximately 75 employees to DynaMexico, it currently has limited services.
+Added: Climate and Operating Season
+Added: The climate is semi-tropical with a rainy season dominating from late June / early July through September.
+Added: For some activities on the SDJ project, operations may be suspended during the rainy season.
+Added: MINERAL PROCESSING AND METALLURGICAL TESTING
+Added: Bulk Sample, Hazen Process Development Metallurgical Report
+Added: Ore and existing mill tailings samples were collected prior to DynaMexico’s acquisition and consolidation of San Jose de Gracia.
+Added: The ore samples consisted of a bulk (about 500 kg) of stockpiled ore from the lower adit of the Tres Amigos mine (intercept of the Tres Amigos and Orange Tree veins).
+Added: In addition, approximately 100 kg of ore as a bulk sample was taken from the surface at the Gossan Cap area.
+Added: Three additional ore samples (approximately 5-15 kg each) were assembled from splits of the cores from several of the 1997 drilling program core holes to develop samples representing different ore types for testing.
+Added: These included:
+Added: 1) composite drill cores from Palos Chinos, 2) massive sulfide from the Tres Amigos vein and 3) disseminated, nonsurprise mineralized zones at the bottom of several Tres Amigos core holes.
+Added: The logic was that major exploratory test work to define a metallurgical process would be done on the bulk sample from the adit at Tres Amigos and the other samples would have limited testing done at the selected metallurgical process conditions to verify the performance of the selected metallurgical process circuit on other types of San José mineralization.
+Added: Finally, several bulk samples (50-100 kg) of existing tailings from the Rosarito mill and the old Rosarito mill were collected and used to conduct flotation, gravity, and limited leachability test work on the tailings.” Samples were shipped to the laboratory of Carbonyx Carbon Technologies in Plano, Texas where in 2000 and 2001 two separate preliminary test programs were conducted, one for the tailings, and the other for a portion of the bulk Tres Amigos ore.The Company developed a concept for the metallurgical processing to produce both gravity and flotation concentrates (rougher and cleaner).
+Added: The tests confirmed a metallurgical flow sheet to be utilized at San José to recover up to 90% of the feed gold into the concentrates.
+Added: The above “in-house” testing established a preliminary flowsheet for a mill circuit for processing either primary ore or for reprocessing the existing tailings.
+Added: Subsequently Hazen Research Laboratories of Golden, Colorado (“Hazen”) was engaged to provide independent verification of the in-house work and carry out additional optimization test work.
+Added: Lockwood Greene/ Mr.
+Added: Henderson prepared and verified completion of the scope of work.
+Added: In summary, various interim reports and the final metallurgical report, the "Official Hazen Test Report, (“Hazen Report”)” provided results as follows:
+Added: The initial gravity beneficiation/flotation test work on the Tres Amigos and Gossan Cap bulk ore samples were very encouraging with up to 80 % recovery of the feed gold into the gravity concentrates while maintaining a minimum concentrate grade of 100 g Au/t ;
+Added: The existing tailings samples (feed grades of 3 -8 g Au/t) returned similar recovery results, but had to be cleaned to produce a final concentrate with > 100 g Au/t ;
+Added: The overall gold recoveries into the gravity cleaner concentrate still were in excess of 50% of the total feed gold;
+Added: Flotation tests on primary ore samples resulted in recoveries of 85 - 90 % of the feed gold into the rougher concentrates, however, recoveries after cleaning (to get > 100 g Au/t grade) dropped to the 65-75 % range; and
+Added: A combination circuit of a gravity pre-concentration stage with flotation on the gravity tailings indicated the potential to recover > 90% of the feed gold into the gravity concentrate, the rougher flotation and the cleaner flotation concentrates while maintaining a 100 g Au/t grade in all of the concentrates.
+Added: EXPLORATION UPDATE
+Added: DynaResource uses a multiple phase method of exploration.
+Added: The initial activity consists of surface mapping and sampling to identify areas of interest.
+Added: The next phase is detailed mapping and systematic sampling.
+Added: Mapping and sampling of mine workings are also performed to define potential areas for future work.
+Added: Geological mapping and samples have been collected in the past and sent for laboratory analysis by the Company.
+Added: The prospects are then catalogued and prioritized for drilling.
+Added: Since January 2022, six (6) areas have been drill-tested.
+Added: Tres Amigos, La Union, San Pablo, Tepehuaje, La Ceceña and Palos Chinos.
+Added: In 2022, 166 holes for approximately 24,500 m of diamond drilling was completed and approximately 16,000 core samples were collected of which approximately 500 QA/QC samples were shipped for laboratory analysis.
+Added: EXPLORATION PLANS FOR 2023
+Added: The Company plans to continue its drilling program with two to six rigs on site.
+Added: During this period management will make decisions based on the drill results, corporate strategies and market conditions, surface mapping, sampling and target generation.
+Added: These activities will continue until any increase is approved by the Board of Directors.
+Added: The Company plans to contract with a consultant to interpret the data collected for a formal Mineral Resource update in the latter part of 2023 or early 2024.
