(TSX:DNG)(OTC:DNGDF) (Dynacor or the Corporation) is pleased to announce that it has completed the construction of its new 300-tpd Veta Dorada ore processing plant and has begun the commissioning process.

- Commissioning:
- Dry and/or Wet Running. Depending on the process sub-units either dry or wet running is used to test the units individually (crushing, milling, conveyor belts, etc.). The objective being to determine that each sub-unit is functioning correctly.
- Operational running. This involves a complete test using mineralized ore, crushing and milling as well as chemical extraction and gold recovery. During this stage all the processes are tested but the yield is not measured.
