MONTREAL, July 17, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dynacor Group Inc. (TSX-DNG) (Dynacor or the "Corporation"), an international gold ore industrial corporation servicing ASMs (artisanal and small-scale miners), today announced that it had recorded unaudited gold sales of US$18.7 million (C$25.6 million) ⁽¹⁾ for June 2024, compared to US$23.9 million (C$31.8 million) in June 2023.

Second quarter sales amounted to US$67.4 million (C$92.2 million) in 2024, compared to US$64.5 million (C$86.7 million) in Q2-2023, a 4.5% increase.

Sales decrease versus June last year of US$5.2 million is due to decreases in sales volumes (-US$8.3 million) partially offset by increases in sales prices (+US$3.1 million). Volumes were impacted by lower grades of ore supplied.

In June, the average selling price of gold was US$2,313 per ounce, compared to US$1,933 per ounce in June 2023 as gold price continued to remain high.

During June 2024, the Veta Dorada plant continued working at full pace processing 14,000 tonnes. Compared with May 2024, our June production decreased by approximately 950 ounces mainly due to lower grades of ore processed and sales decreased by approximately 2,000 ounces due to the timing of exports.

The 2024 cumulative sales at the end of June amounted to US$135.1 million, compared to US$121.2 million for the same period of 2023, a 11.5% increase. The average selling price of gold at the end of June 2024 was US$2,196 per ounce compared to US$1,923 per ounce in 2023.

The Corporation announced sales guidance for 2024 ranging between US$265-285 million using a market gold price ranging between US$2,000 and US$2,050 per ounce.
