Tumipampa: Dynacor Signs Mining and Mineral Purchase Agreements with Artisanal Miners
MONTRÉAL, May 29, 2019 - Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX: DNG / OTC: DNGDF) (Dynacor or the Corporation) is pleased to announce the signing of agreements to mine and purchase mineralized material from its Tumipampa property with a group of local artisanal miners.
Dynacor has developed an expertise of more than 20 years working in Peru with hundreds of artisanal miners working across the country. These agreements are the first to be concluded with artisanal miners on one of the Corporation’s own properties.
The mining agreement signed by its Peruvian subsidiary Minera Veta Dorada SAC "Veta Dorada", authorizes this group of miners to carry out extraction work on a 5.7- hectare section in the high-grade vein zone where Dynacor has carried out major underground exploration programs in the past.
The group of artisanal miners began mining in mid-May and first deliveries are expected in the coming days. All the mineralized material produced by these miners will be purchased by Veta Dorada on negotiated terms and will then be transported and processed at its processing plant in Chala.
The artisanal mining sector covered by this agreement is located outside the exploration zone planned for the next drilling campaign at Tumipampa (disseminated and brecciated mineralization zone).
Tumipampa Exploration
The Corporation applied for a new exploration permit covering a larger section of the property. This permit application was submitted to the MEM in March 2018 and we are still waiting for this permit to be granted. Drilling will begin as soon as it is received.
