Dynasty Reports Financial Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov 13, 2014) - Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc. ("Dynasty" or the "Company") (TSX:DMM)(OTCQX:DMMIF) announces that it has released its unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 (the "Financial Statements"). The selected financial information presented herein is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the Financial Statements and the related notes thereto and the Company's management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), which are available on the Company's website (www.dynastymining.com) and on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).

All dollar amounts in United States dollars unless otherwise stated.

Zaruma Gold Project Operating Results

1. Net of by-product credits
2. Non-GAAP measure. For the disclosure of the manner in which these measures are calculated and a reconciliation to operating expenditures refer to the "Non-GAAP Measures" section of the Company's MD&A for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 available on SEDAR (www.sedar.com).
3. There are no comparable operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 since the Company commenced accounting for the Zaruma Project as being in commercial production commencing on October 1, 2013 as the project was meeting production milestones to be operating, for accounting purposes, in the way intended by Management.

The average grade of material processed during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was 10.90 grams per tonne ("g/t") which represents an increase from the average grade in the three months ended June 30, 2014 of 4.42 g/t. Substantially all the high grade material mined during the three months ended September 30, 2014 was from certain sections of the Soroche vein whereas the majority of the lower grade material mined in the three months ended June 30, 2014 was non-resource development material.

It is not uncommon or unexpected to encounter areas of mineral deposit at the Zaruma Project with significantly higher or lower grades as compared to the average grade disclosed in the Company's mineral resource estimate, since the resource at Zaruma is known to contain a significant variability in grade between different areas, which are often in close proximity to each other. As a result, it is unlikely that the Company will achieve a consistent monthly production profile during this early production phase of operations until material is mined from multiple veins.

Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining cash costs per ounce for the nine months ending September 30, 2014 were $991 and $1,318 respectively. Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining cash costs per ounce for the three months ending September 30, 2014 were $846 and $1,122 respectively. Cash costs per ounce and all-in sustaining cash costs per ounce in fiscal 2014 to date are impacted by a combination of a number of factors, including:

• normal course maintenance and development work which resulted in decreased tonnage delivered to the mill in the first quarter of 2014;
  
  
• a decrease in the average grade of material mined during the second quarter of 2014 due to limited access to regions of veins with higher grade while development work on these areas was ongoing during this period;
  
  
• the Company has adopted a policy to expense any further development expenditure as it is incurred in respect of a mine property subsequent to the commencement of commercial production, unless substantial new future economic benefits are derived from such expenditure at which point it will be capitalized. As a result all of the costs of carrying out the decline maintenance and development work was all expensed in the period and therefore included in the per ounce cost calculations; and
  
  
• the Company's operations consist of a large fixed cost proportion, with the actual cash expenditure not varying a great deal between periods.
  
  

In the near term, the Company intends to remain focused on developing the main decline with the intent to continue to develop high grade gold veins in the area, thereby providing access to additional mining faces which in turn is expected to improve production. This outlook is based on current operations, mine plans and exploration results, which are subject to change and as such cannot be assured.

The following tables show selected consolidated financial information as at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and nine months ending September 30, 2014 and 2013:

Liquidity

As at September 30, 2014 the Company had cash resources of $2.3 million and a working capital surplus (current assets less current liabilities) of $0.7 million compared to cash resources of $4.9 million and a working capital surplus of $0.2 million as at December 31, 2013.

Included within short term loans, and within the calculation of working capital, is a $1 million Promissory Note from corporations represented by the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. The Promissory Note bears no interest, is repayable on demand and is secured by way of a General Security Agreement over certain assets of the Company.
