The Company is an “OTC Reporting
Issuer” as that term is defined in BC Multilateral Instrument 51-105,
Issuers Quoted in the U.S. Over-the-Counter Markets
,
promulgated by the British Columbia Securities Commission. Accordingly, certain disclosure in this quarterly report has been prepared
in accordance with the requirements of securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States
securities laws. In Canada, an issuer is required to provide technical information with respect to mineralization, including reserves
and resources, if any, on its mineral exploration properties in accordance with Canadian requirements, which differ significantly
from the requirements of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to registration
statements and reports filed by United States companies pursuant to the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. As such, information
contained in this quarterly report concerning descriptions of mineralization under Canadian standards may not be comparable to
similar information made public by United States companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of the SEC and
not subject to Canadian securities legislation. This quarterly report may use the terms “measured mineral resources”,
“indicated mineral resources” and “inferred mineral resources”. While these terms are recognized and required
by Canadian securities legislation (under National Instrument 43-101,
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
), the
SEC does not recognize them. United States investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineral deposits in
these categories will ever be converted to reserves. In addition, “inferred mineral resources” have a great amount
of uncertainty as to their existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of a measured
mineral resource, indicated mineral resource or inferred mineral resource will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Under Canadian
securities legislation, estimates of inferred mineral resources may not form the basis of feasibility or pre-feasibility studies,
although they may form, in certain circumstances, the basis of a “preliminary economic assessment” as that term is
defined in National Instrument 43-101,
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects
. U.S. investors are cautioned not to
assume that any part or all of any reported measured, indicated, or inferred mineral resource estimates referred to herein or in
the Technical Report are economically or legally mineable.
DynaResource, Inc., the Company
described herein, is a Delaware corporation, with offices located at 222 W. Las Colinas Blvd., Suite 744 East Tower, Irving, Texas
75039. It can be reached by phone at (972) 868-9066 and by fax at (972) 868-9067.
The Company was incorporated
in the State of California on September 28, 1937, under the name West Coast Mines, Inc. In November 1998, the Company re-domiciled
from California to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc. (aka “DynaUSA”).
The Company is in the business of acquiring,
investing in, and developing precious metals properties, and the production of precious metals.
Through its 80% owned Mexican subsidiary,
DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (“DynaMéxico”), the Company owns a portfolio of mining concessions
that currently includes its interests in the San José de Gracia Project (“SJG”) in northern Sinaloa State, México.
The SJG District covers 69,121 hectares (170,802 acres) on the west side of the Sierra Madre mountain range.
A wholly owned subsidiary of the Company,
Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (“MinerasDyna”), entered into an operating agreement with DynaMéxico on
April 15, 2005 and, as a consequence of that agreement and subsequent amendments to that agreement, is the named exclusive operating
entity for the SJG Project.
In 2005, the Company formed another wholly
owned subsidiary, DynaResource Operaciones, SA de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”). DynaOperaciones entered into a personnel
management agreement with MinerasDyna and, as a consequence of that agreement, is the exclusive management company for personnel
and consultants involved at the SJG Project.
At incorporation of DynaMéxico,
100 shares of Fixed Capital Series “A” shares were issued with DynaUSA receiving 99 shares and Koy W. Diepholz receiving
1 share.
From January 2008 through March 2011,
DynaMéxico issued 100 Variable Capital Series “B” Shares to Goldgroup Resources Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
of Goldgroup Mining Inc. Vancouver, BC. (“Goldgroup”), in exchange for Goldgroup’s contributing $18,000,000 USD
to DynaMéxico. At the issuance of the 100 Series B Shares to Goldgroup, it owned 50% of the outstanding capital shares of
DynaMéxico.
On May 17, 2013, DynaResource agreed
to acquire a Certificate for 300 Series “B” Variable Capital Shares of DynaMéxico, in exchange for the settlement
of accounts receivable from DynaMéxico in the amount of $31,090,710 Mexican Pesos (approximately $2.4 M USD). After the
issuance and receipt of the 300 Series B Shares on June 21, 2013, DynaUSA holds 80% of the total outstanding Capital of DynaMéxico.
DynaMéxico owns 100% of the San Jose de Gracia Project in northern Sinaloa, México ("SJG", and the "SJG
Property"). (See table representation of the outstanding Capital of DynaMéxico below).
The exchange of shares by DynaMéxico
for amounts payable to DynaUSA was unanimously approved by attending shareholders at a meeting of the shareholders of DynaMéxico,
held on the second call for shareholder's meeting on May 17, 2013 in Mazatlan, Sinaloa, México. Of the total amount of $31,090,170
Mexican Pesos exchanged for the 300 Shares, $150,000 Mexican Pesos was accounted for at the nominal value of $500 Mexican Pesos
per share, and the remaining balance of $30,940,710 Mexican Pesos was accounted for as a premium for the subscription of the shares
agreed to be paid by DynaUSA.
The date of issuance of the 300 Series
B Share Certificate was June 21, 2013. As a result of the issuance and exchange of the 300 Variable Capital shares for amounts
owed to DynaUSA, the accounts payable amount owed by DynaMéxico to DynaUSA was retired in full. MinerasDyna, the 100 % owned
subsidiary of DynaUSA, continues to carry an amount receivable from DynaMéxico of $2,800,000 USD at March 31, 2014, and
MinerasDyna continues to make cash advances to DynaMéxico under the terms of the exploitation amendment agreement (“EAA”),
below.
After the issuance of the 300 Series B Variable Capital shares of
DynaMéxico to DynaUSA as described above, the current outstanding Capital of DynaMéxico is set forth in the table
below:
DynaResource currently owns 80% of the
outstanding common shares of DynaMéxico.
On May 15, 2013, MinerasDyna entered
into an Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”) with DynaMéxico. The EAA grants to MinerasDyna the right to
finance, explore, develop and exploit the SJG Property, in exchange for: (A) Reimbursement of all costs associated with financing,
maintenance, exploration, development and exploitation of the SJG Property, which costs are to be charged and billed by MinerasDyna
to DynaMéxico; and, (B) After Item (A) above, the receipt by MinerasDyna of 75 % of gross receipts received by DynaMéxico
from the sale of all minerals produced from SJG, to the point that MinerasDyna has received 200 % of its advanced funds; and, (C)
After Items (A) and (B) above; the receipt by MinerasDyna of 50 % of all gross receipts received by DynaMéxico from the
sale of all minerals produced from SJG, and throughout the term of the EAA; and, (D) in addition to Items (A), (B), and
(C) above, MinerasDyna shall receive a 2.5 % NSR (“Net Smelter Royalty”) on all minerals sold from SJG over the term
of the EAA.
The EAA is the third and latest Amendment
to the original Contract Mining Services and Mineral Production Agreement (the “Operating Agreement”), which was previously
entered into by MinerasDyna with DynaMéxico in April 2005, wherein MinerasDyna was named the Exclusive Operating Entity
at SJG. The Operating Agreement was previously amended in September 2006 (the “First Amendment”), and amended again
at July 15, 2011 (the “Second Amendment”). The Term of the Second Amendment is 20 years, and the EAA provides for the
continuation of the 20 Year Term from the date of the Second Amendment (July 15, 2011).
The Land Lease Agreement provides
MinerasDyna with surface access to the core resource areas of SJG (4,399 hectares), and allows for all permitted mining and exploration
activities from the owners of the surface rights (Santa Maria Ejido community).
The SJG District is comprised of 33 mining
concessions covering 69,121 hectares (171,802 acres) and is located within the Sierra Madre gold-silver belt, where the majority
of hydrothermal deposits in México are located. The Company’s concessions, all of which are formally held by DynaMéxico,
are granted by the Mexican government, or acquired from previous owners. The Company’s concessions are comprised of a combination
of exploration concessions and development concessions, are filed in the Public Registry of Mining, and are scheduled to expire
from 2028 through 2058. The concessions can be renewed prior to the expiry dates. The table below contains a listing of the mineral
concessions currently held by DynaMéxico.
To maintain Mining Concessions in good
standing, the registered owner must (a) pay bi-annual mining duties in advance, by January 31 and July 31 each year, (b) file assessment
work reports by May 30 each year, for the preceding year (some exception rules apply), and (c) file by January 31 each year, statistical
reports on exploration / exploitation work conducted for the preceding year.
Notice of Commencement of Production
Activities and Annual Production Reports must be filed annually by January 31 each year for those concessions where mineral ore
extraction is taking place. As a general provision, registered owners of Mining Concessions must follow environmental and labor
laws and regulations in order to maintain their Mining Concessions in good standing.
As of the date of this Form 10-Q/A,
all of the 33 mining concessions comprising the SJG Property are in good standing with respect to the payment of taxes and the
filing of assessment work obligations imposed by the Mining Act of México and its Regulations.
(1) According
to the records of the Mines Registry Office, the registered owners to 100% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining
concession are: María Trinidad Acosta Salazar (25%), Miguel López Medina (25%), Josefa González Castro (25%)
and Otilia Tracy Vizcarra (25%). On October 17, 2000 and March 8, 2001 DynaMéxico signed with each of Miguel Lopez Medina
and Josefa Gonzalez Castro, respectively, agreements for the transfer to DynaMéxico of 50% undivided title to the San Miguel
(t.183504) mining concession (the “San Miguel Transfer Agreements”).
In respect to the San Miguel Transfer
Agreements, DynaMéxico has been advised that in order for the San Miguel Transfer Agreements to produce legal effects and
be eligible for registration before the Mines Registry Office, DynaMéxico is required to
first obtain the legal consent to such transfers, or the written relinquishment of first rights of refusal, from María Trinidad
Acosta Salazar and Otilia Tracy Vizcarra (or court-appointed estate executor).
In addition to the San Miguel Transfer
Agreements, DynaMéxico has entered into the following Promise to Sell and Purchase Agreements (the “San Miguel Promise
to Sell and Purchase Agreements”):
(a) Promise to Sell and Purchase
Agreement signed on March 8, 2001 among DynaMéxico and Maria Trinidad Acosta Salazar, the registered owner to 25% undivided
title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining concession, and
(b) Promise to Sell and Purchase
Agreement signed on December 15, 2000 among DynaMéxico and Margarita Tracy Vizcarra, the sister of the deceased Otilia Tracy
Vizcarra.
In respect to the San Miguel Promise
to Sell and Purchase Agreements, DynaMéxico has been advised that:
(a) with respect to the Promise to
Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on March 8, 2001 among DynaMéxico and Maria Trinidad Acosta Salazar, to contact Ms. María
Trinidad Acosta Salazar to demand compliance with such agreement by executing the definitive transfer to DynaMéxico of the
25% undivided title to the San Miguel (t.183504) mining concession registered in her name, and
(b) with respect to the Promise to
Sell and Purchase Agreement signed on December 15, 2000 among DynaMéxico and Margarita Tracy Vizcarra, the sister of the
deceased Otilia Tracy Vizcarra,
the estate of Otilia Tracy Vizcarra
requires the appointment of a court-appointed executor that would be capable under Mexican law to formally grant the estate´s
consent for the execution of the San Miguel Transfer Agreements, to relinquish the estate´s first rights of refusal or to
request court approval for the transfer to DynaMéxico of the 25% undivided interest in the San Miguel (t.183504) mining
concession registered in the name of the deceased Otilia Tracy Vizcarra.
The Land Lease Agreement provides MinerasDyna
with surface access to the core resource areas of SJG (4,399 hectares), and allows for all permitted mining and exploration activities
from the owners of the surface rights (Santa Maria Ejido community).
The San Jose de Gracia mining property
surrounds the area of San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa State, México. San Jose de Gracia is located on the west side of the Sierra
Madre mountain range in the Sierra Madre Gold-Silver Belt, approximately 100 kilometers inland from Los Mochis, Sinaloa México
and approximately 200 kilometers north of Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
The San José de Gracia Project
can be accessed by road, via a sealed highway from either Culiacan, the capital city of the State of Sinaloa (located to the south
of the San José de Gracia Project) or the city of Guamuchil (located to the southwest of SJG), to the small town of Sinaloa
de Leyva, then by gravel mountainous road to the village of San José de Gracia.
The San José de Gracia Project
can also be accessed by air. A gravel airstrip is located adjacent to the village of San José de Gracia which is located
at the southwestern portion of the property at the SJG Project, and the airstrip is suitable for light aircraft.
The climate is semi-tropical with a rainy
season dominating from late June / early July through September. Operations at the San José de Gracia Project are in part
dependent on the weather and some activities may be suspended during the rainy season.
A power line to the San José de
Gracia Project has been installed by the Comisión Federal de Electricidad, the only authorized power producer in México.
The power line was installed in March 2012 from the municipality of Sinaloa de Leyva (La Estancia area), a distance of approximately
75 kilometers.
The power line is currently 220 volts
maximum capacity, which supports domestic use only, including the office and camp facilities at SJG, such as water pump,
air conditioning, refrigeration, lights, internet, and fans, as well as local residential use. Currently, the SJG Project produces
its own diesel-generated power for industrial use.
The water source for the SJG camp is
from a water well located close to the river which runs just west of the village of San José de Gracia.
DynaMéxico
has obtained the water concession rights for this water source, which provide for usage of 1,000,000 cubic meters per year.
Currently,
DynaMéxico
estimates its consumption of water to be approximately
10,000 liters per week.
The mine site area camp maintains facilities
which can accommodate about 50 persons. The village of San José de Gracia maintains few stores, and which offer only minimal
goods.
DynaMéxico maintains an administrative
and logistics office in Guamuchil, located 125 kilometers southwest of the SJG property. The SJG Project sources many of its supplies
from Guamuchil, and from Los Mochis and Culiacan. A satellite dish installed at the SJG Property provides communications from the
SJG Property to Guamuchil.
The SJG property is described in
more detail in this Form 10-Q/A, under Item 2, Properties.
SJG reports 1,000,000 Oz. gold historical
production from a series of underground workings. The major production reported was 471,000 Oz. Au at the La Purisima area of SJG,
at an average grade of 66.7 g/t; and production of 215,000 Oz. Au from the La Prieta area, at an average grade of 27.6 g/t. Mineralization
at SJG has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 square kilometer area.
A drill program was conducted at SJG
in 1997 - 1998 by a prior majority owner. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed in 63 core drill holes. Significant
intercepts, including bonanza grades, outlined the down dip potential of the Northeast section (150 Meter NE to SW extent of the
Drilling) of the Los Hilos to Tres Amigos Trend of SJG. Surface and underground sampling in 1999 - 2000 confirmed high grades in
historic workings and surface exposures throughout the project area. These high grades outline the presence of mineralization shoots
developed within the veins. The mineralized shoots appear to be controlled by dilational jogs and/or vein intersections. A
total of 544 samples were collected in 1999-2000, and assayed an average 6.51 grams/ton gold.
Pilot Production Activities (2003
– 2006)
DynaMéxico, conducting activities
through its operating sister companies MinerasDyna and DynaOperaciones, mined high-grade veins at the San Pablo area of SJG from
mid-2003 to June 2006. 18,250 Oz. gold was produced and sold from mill feed tonnage of 42,000 tons, at an average grade of approximately
15-20 g/t. Production costs were reported at approximately $175./Oz. Au in this small scale, pilot production operation.

The
small scale mining and production activities at SJG consisted of improvements to an existing mill, including the installation
of a gravity / flotation processing circuit, and initial test runs with tailings were completed in 2002. Actual mining at the
higher grade San Pablo area of the property commenced in March 2003.
Suspension of Production Activities
The Company initiated the test production
activity in 2003 at the time gold prices were depressed, and when exploration funding opportunities, while available, were deemed
to be too dilutive by Company management. While the test production was considered successful (see results in the table above),
a small scale production activity was not expected to provide the necessary capital in order to explore a project the size of SJG.
The earlier, limited-scope pilot
production activity provided significant benefits in terms of confirming production grades, metallurgy and process, efficiency
of recoveries, and production costs – all of which is valuable for larger scale production plans.
Earn In / Option Agreement –
Financing of Drilling – Exploration Programs
As gold prices continued to appreciate
into 2006, exploration financing opportunities increased and the Company negotiated and entered into an Earn In / Option Agreement
with Goldgroup Mining Inc. (“Goldgroup”), dated September 1, 2006. The terms of the Earn In / Option Agreement provided
for Goldgroup to furnish $18,000,000 USD
financing to DynaMéxico for exploration expenditures
at SJG, in exchange for a 50% share interest in DynaMéxico.
On June 21, 2013, DynaResource acquired
a Certificate for 300 Series “B” Variable Capital Shares of DynaMéxico, in exchange for the settlement of accounts
receivable from DynaMéxico in the amount of $31,090,710 Mexican Pesos (approximately $2.4 M USD). After the issuance and
receipt of the 300 Series B Shares, DynaUSA holds 80% of the total outstanding Capital of DynaMéxico. DynaMéxico
owns 100% of the San Jose de Gracia Project in northern Sinaloa, México.
No Known Reserves
Currently, the Company’s drilling
programs (through DynaMéxico) are exploratory in nature. The Company expects to commence pilot production activities in
2014.
The SJG Property is without known
reserves
Under U.S. standards, set forth
in SEC Industry Guide 7, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless a determination has been made that
the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
Future Drilling – Exploration
Programs
Further drilling programs at SJG are
contemplated, in view of the 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate and the formal National Instrument 43-101(“NI
43-101”) Technical Report for San Jose de Gracia (the “2012 DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report”),
and the updated NI 43-101 Technical Report, dated December 31, 2012 (See “Updated National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report
for San Jose de Gracia”, below.)
The Company expects DynaMéxico
will be successful in expanding the size and scope of the resources at SJG through continued drilling and development programs
at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Cecena, Palos Chinos, La Union, La Purisima, and La Prieta. The Company expects extensions to mineralization
in all directions and down dip from the main target areas.
National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Mineral
Resource Estimate
The Company received from DynaMéxico
on February 14, 2012 a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Mineral Resource Estimate for San Jose de Gracia. The
NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Mr. Robert Sandefur, BS, MSc, P.E., a Qualified Person (“QP”) as
defined under NI 43-101, and a senior reserve analyst for Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC, Lakewood, CO (“CAM”).
The Mineral Resource Estimate concentrates on four separate vein systems at SJG: Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima.

was approved by DynaMéxico, and filed by the Company with SEDAR on December 31, 2012.
Commissioning of an Updated Mineral
Resource Estimate
During the fourth quarter 2012, DynaMéxico,
through MinerasDyna, commissioned Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC, Lakewood, CO. (“CAM”), Mr. Robert Sandefur, BS,
MSc, P.E., senior reserve analysis and a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101, for the purpose of updating the Mineral Resource
Estimate at San Jose de Gracia and to include lower grade mineralized areas of San Jose de Gracia using a .3 g/t Au cut off grade.
This work is pending until the company deems it necessary to continue.
Commissioning of Metallurgical Testing
During the fourth quarter 2012, DynaMéxico,
through MinerasDyna, engaged Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Reno, NV. (“KCA”), for the purpose of designing a metallurgical
test program to confirm possible heap leach recoveries of specific mineralized areas of San Jose de Gracia. This work is pending
until the company deems it necessary to continue.
Company Transition from Exploration
to Mining – Production
The Company expects to transition its
business from that of a purely exploration company, to an exploration and production company in 2014. The basis for the exploration
and production activity is provided through the foundational resource for SJG as reported in the 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG
Mineral Resource Estimate (and Technical Report), and supported further by the company’s successful pilot production activities
during the 2003-2006 period.
SEMARNAT Permission for Operating
Mill Facility at San Jose de Gracia
On June 17, 2013, DynaMéxico received
from the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente Y Recursos Naturales, the Federal Environmental Authority in México ("SEMARNAT"),
the approval and permission which allows for the rehabilitation and operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG ("the Semarnat-SJG
Mill Permit," and, the "Semarnat Permit"). Under the terms of the Semarnat-SJG Mill Permit, DynaMéxico will
be responsible to maintain the SJG pilot mill facility, and including the adjacent tailings pond area, in compliance with the regulations
described in la Norma Oficial Mexicana ("NOM-141-SEMARNAT-2003).
Rehabilitation of Pilot Mill Facility
at San Jose de Gracia
Under the terms of the Exploitation Amendment
Agreement (“EAA”), as described above, MinerasDyna is in process of the rehabilitating and planning the subsequent
operation of the pilot mill facility at SJG. The SJG pilot mill facility (a gravimetric-flotation circuit) is projected to process
bulk samples to be mined from selected target areas of SJG. Operations at SJG will be managed by MinerasDyna, and are projected
to be similar to those conducted by DynaMéxico during the 2003-2006 Period.
SEMARNAT Permission for Exploitation
and Mining of the San Pablo Mine Area at San Jose de Gracia
On September 30, 2013, DynaMéxico
received from the Secretaria de Medio Ambiente Y Recursos Naturales, the Federal Environmental Authority in México ("SEMARNAT"),
the approval and permission which allows for the exploitation and mining activities at the San Pablo Area of SJG ("the Semarnat-SJG
San Pablo Exploitation Permit" and, the "Semarnat Exploitation Permit").
Regional Geology & Mineral Deposits
San José de Gracia lies within
the Sierra Madre Occidental Gold-Silver Belt, in a second-order Graben directly east of the regional-scale Grete Graben. The
basement to the Sierra Madre Occidental consists of deformed Paleozoic sedimentary strata, which are non-conformably overlain by
Tertiary mafic to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic strata known as the Lower Volcanic Series (“LVS”). Strata
of the LVS are recognized as being spatially related to gold and silver mineralization in the region. Volcanic and sedimentary
strata are capped by a thick sequence of non-deformed Late Tertiary ignimbrites, known as the Upper Volcanic Series (“UVS”).
Property Geology
The oldest rocks exposed at San
José de Gracia are deformed Paleozoic shale, sandstone, conglomerate and minor limestone, which are non-conformably
overlain by andesite and rhyodacite flows and tuffs of the LVS. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are cut by
quartz-feldspar porphyry, porphyritic diorite bodies and fine-grained m mafic dykes, which may be co-temporal with the LVS.
Ignimbrites of the UVS are exposed at higher elevations on the property and are thought to act as a post mineralization
cap rock, thereby indicating an Early to Mid Tertiary (Paleocene to Eocene) age for gold mineralization at San José de
Gracia.
Geologic Structure
Detailed mapping within the project area
has defined several stages of deformation, beginning with compression during the Laramide Orogeny which affected the Paleozoic
basement and formed flat-lying reverse faults, which have been reactivated as conduits for gold-bearing fluids in the La Prieta
trend (Table 2). Extension in Tertiary time led to the development of second order structures, trending south, southwest
and southeast; which formed the major structural orientations for mineralization at San José de Gracia. The latest
phase of deformation is characterized by late-stage extension and southwest tilting.
Mineralization & Alteration
High grade gold mineralization at San
José de Gracia is hosted within andesite and rhyodacite of the LVS and underlying Paleozoic sediments as fault breccia veins
and crackle breccias that exhibit multiple stages of reactivation and fluid flow, as evidenced by crustiform/colloform textures
and cross cutting veins. Locally, veins exhibit sharp, clay gouge hangingwall and footwall contacts with slickensides, indicating
reactivation of structurally-hosted veins subsequent to mineralization. Gold grades can also be carried within the mineralized
halo adjacent to the principal veins as quartz-chlorite stockwork. In addition to vein-hosted mineralization, broad zones
of un-mineralized clay alteration, developed southwest of the main mineralized trends, may overlie lower-grade, disseminated gold
mineralization at depth.
Alteration at San José de
Gracia is laterally and vertically zoned from discrete zones of silicification to broad zones of illite to clay alteration with
increasing elevation and/or distance from the main feeder structures. Faulting and tilting of the mineralization system has
affected the surface distribution of alteration and in general has exposed deeper portions of the system in the northeast and exposed
shallower, more distal portions of the hydrothermal system in the southwest part of the property.
Six principal mineralized trends
have been identified at San José de Gracia, from south to north, consisting of:
|
1.
|
La Purisima Ridge trend;
|
|
3.
|
La Parilla to Veta Tierra trend (Including La Union);
|
|
6.
|
Los Hilos to Tres Amigos trend
.

Lab
A field laboratory is maintained within
the camp facility. DynaMéxico utilized the lab for internal assaying services during its production activities of 2003-2006.
Assays were performed by DynaMéxico personnel for mined mineralization, feed mineralization, gravity and flotation concentrates,
and tailings. The current status of the lab and equipment is care and maintenance. The Company anticipates that MinerasDyna will
utilize the lab facility in the future for providing check assays to support ongoing exploration and bulk sampling works.
Mineral Resource Estimate - Construction
of Wireframes
Mineral Resources were estimated by Mr.
Sandefur within wireframes constructed by technical personnel of Minop SA de CV (“Minop”), a subsidiary of Goldgroup
Mining Inc. (“Goldgroup”). Minop was contracted by Mineras de DynaResource SA de CV. (“MinerasDyna”).
Mineral Resource Estimate - Parameters Used to Estimate
the Mineral Resource
The data base for the San Jose de Gracia
Project consists of 372 drill holes of which 361 are diamond drill holes and the remaining 11 were reverse circulation holes, with
a total drilling of 75,878 meters. The 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate concentrates on four main mineralized
vein systems at SJG: Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima. Of the 372 drill holes, 368 were drilled to test these
four main vein systems and the remaining four holes tested the Argillic Zone. Technical personnel of Minop built three dimensional
solids to constrain estimation to the interpreted veins in each swarm. The 172 holes most recently drilled (2009-2011), were allocated
as follows: Tres Amigos (64 holes), San Pablo (49 holes), La Union (24 holes), La Purisima (32 holes) and the Argillic Zone (3
holes).
Servicios
y Proyectos Mineros
performed a database review and considers that a reasonable level of verification has been completed,
and that no material issues have been left unidentified from the drilling programs undertaken.
A total of 5,540 pieces of core
were measured for specific gravity using the weight in air vs. weight in water method. This represents an additional 3,897
measurements taken in the 2009-11 drill seasons with density measurements taken from all mineral zones. Dried samples were
coated with paraffin wax before being measured. The results tabulated have been sorted by lithology and mineralized veins.
The average specific gravity of 5,051 wall rock samples is 2.59 while the average specific gravity for 489 samples of vein
material is 2.68. CAM and Servicios y Proyectos Mineros have reviewed the procedures and results, and opine that the results
are suitable for use in mineral resource estimation.
Mineral Resource Estimate - Explanation
of Resource Estimation
Resource estimation was done in MineSight
and MicroModel computer systems with only those composites that were inside the wireframe used in the estimate. Estimation was
done using kriging with the omni-directional variogram derived from all the data in each area for gold using the relative variogram
derived from the log variogram. High grades were restricted by capping the assays at a breakpoint based on the cumulative frequency
curves. Estimation was done using search radii of 100 x 100 x 50 m oriented subparallel to the general strike and dip of the vein
system in each area. A sector search, corresponding to the faces of the search box with a maximum of two points per sector was
used in estimation. A density of 2.68 based on within ‘vein density’ samples was used in the resource estimate. Within
each of the four areas there are approximately 20 to 40 veins in the vein swarm. Resources were estimated by kriging using data
from all veins in the swarm. In general, gold accounts for at least 80% of the value of contained metal at the project, so the
variograms for gold were used in estimation of the four other metals. Mineral Resources at Tres Amigos and San Pablo were
classified as “Indicated” as follows:
|
1)
|
they were within a vein within the swarm which contained at least 7 drill holes;
|
|
2)
|
they are within 25 m of the nearest sample point; and,
|
|
3)
|
they were estimated by at least three drill holes.
|
All other Mineral Resources were classified
as “Inferred”. Since there are no precise quantitative definitions of Measured, Indicated and Inferred, resource classification
is subjective and depends on the experience and judgment of the Qualified Person (“QP”) calculating the resource estimate.
CAM, Mr. Sandefur QP, allowed indicated material at Tres Amigos and San Pablo because of (1) the similarity of the variograms,
and (2) the fact of recent production by DynaMéxico from San Pablo of some 42,000 tonnes plant feed at an average grade
of approximately 15 g/t (“grams per tonne”). Three of the individual veins at La Purisima satisfied criterion
(1) above but Mr. Sandefur elected not to include this material in “Indicated” because of the shorter first range at
La Purisima. This Mineral Resource Estimate for SJG does not include any ore loss or dilution outside wireframes, and as currently
defined, is probably most appropriate for a highly selective, small equipment underground operation.
The veins at San Jose de Gracia have
been historically mined for many years and historic mined volumes are not available. The one exception is the approximate 42,000
tonnes of ore processed by DynaMéxico during its pilot production activities in 2003-2006. The resource table is not adjusted
for any historic mining. To validate that historic mining had not significantly reduced the resource, CAM reviewed the database
for all assays greater than 1 gram per ton gold that were next to missing values at the bottom of drill holes. Only four assays
satisfying this criterion were found, and on the basis of this review, CAM does not believe that significant mining has occurred
within the volumes defined by the wireframes.
No Known Reserves
The SJG property is without known reserves.
Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The quantity and grade of the “Indicated”
and “Inferred” mineral resources reported in the mineral resource estimate contained in this Form 10 K are estimates
only. There has been insufficient exploration to define any mineral reserves on the property, and it is uncertain if further exploration
will result in discovery of mineral reserves.
Currently, the Company’s drilling
programs are exploratory in nature. However, The Company expects to commence pilot production activities in 2014 using the foundational
resource for SJG as reported in the 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate (and Technical Report), and supported
further by the company’s recent pilot production activities during the 2003-2006 period.
Mineral Resource Estimate and 43-101
Technical Report - Data Verification
Mr. Luna initially visited the San Jose

Resource Estimate and Technical Report - Qualified Persons
Mr. Luna and Mr. Sandefur each are a
“Qualified Person” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101 and is “independent” as that term
is also defined in National Instrument 43-101.
The Company filed the Technical Report
on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on March 28, 2012. And, on December 31, 2012, the Company filed an updated Technical Report on SEDAR.
DynaMéxico Water Concession
The Company has been informed by DynaResource
de México, SA de CV. (“DynaMéxico”), the 100% owner of SJG, that DynaMéxico has secured the Water
Rights Concession for the area surrounding SJG. The Director of Water Administration of the National Water Commission of México
(CONAGUA) formally certified in writing the rights of DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. to legally use, exploit and extract
1,000,000 m3 of water per year from the DynaMéxico extraction infrastructure located within the perimeter of the mining
concessions comprising the San Jose de Gracia Mining Property in Sinaloa State, México. CONAGUA determined that the DynaMéxico
water rights are not subject to any water rights concession or any other water extraction restriction. Water extracted by DynaMéxico
will be subject to applicable levies imposed by the Mexican tax authorities in accordance with current Mexican tax laws.
Exclusive Operating Entity at
San Jose de Gracia
Under agreement with DynaMéxico,
Mineras de DynaResource SA de CV. (“MinerasDyna”) has been named the exclusive operating entity at the San Jose de
Gracia Project. DynaResource owns 100% of MinerasDyna.
DynaMéxico General Power of
Attorney
The Chairman-CEO of DynaUSA also serves
as the President of DynaMéxico and as the President of MinerasDyna. And, the President of DynaMéxico holds a broad
power of attorney granted by the shareholders of DynaMéxico which gives the current President significant and broad authority
within DynaMéxico.
Updated Mineral Resource Estimate
During the third quarter 2012, MinerasDyna
commissioned Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC, Lakewood, CO. (“CAM”), Mr. Robert Sandefur, BS, MSc, P.E., senior
reserve analysis and a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101, for the purpose of updating the Mineral Resource Estimate at
San Jose de Gracia and to include lower grade mineralized areas of San Jose de Gracia using a .3 g/t Au cut off grade. This work
is pending until the company deems it appropriate to continue.
Metallurgical Testing
During the third quarter 2012, MinerasDyna
engaged Kappes, Cassiday & Associates, Reno, NV. (“KCA”), for the purpose of designing a metallurgical test program
to confirm possible heap leach recoveries of specific mineralized areas of San Jose de Gracia. This work is pending until the company
deems it appropriate to continue.
Capital Requirements
The mining industry in general requires
significant capital in order to take a property from the exploration, to development to production. These costs remain a significant
barrier to entry for the average company but once in production, there is a ready market for the final products, In the case of
SJG, the final product would be mainly gold, the price of which is determined by global markets, so there is not a dependence on
a customer base.
Gold
Gold Uses.
Gold generally is used for fabrication or investment. Fabricated gold has a variety of end uses, including jewelry, electronics,
dentistry, industrial and decorative uses, medals, medallions and official coins. Gold investors buy gold bullion, official coins
and jewelry.
Gold Supply.
A
combination of current mine production, recycling and draw-down of existing gold stocks held by governments, financial institutions,
industrial organizations and private individuals make up the annual gold supply. Based on public information available for the
years 2008 through 2013, on average, current mine production has accounted for approximately 64% of the annual gold supply.

In
respect of permit requirements for mineral exploration and mining in México, the most relevant applicable laws, regulations
and official technical norms are the following: the
Federal Mining Act
, and its Regulations, the
Federal Environmental
Protection and Ecological Equilibrium Act
, and its Regulations, the
Federal Sustainable Forestry Development Act
and
its Regulations, the
Federal Explosives and Firearms Act
, the
National Waters Act
and the
Mexican Official Norm
120
.
To
carry out mineral exploration activities, holders of mining concessions in México are required to file at the offices of
the Federal Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (“SEMARNAT”) a “Notice of Commencement of Exploration
Activities” under the guidelines of the
Mexican Official Norm 120
(“Norm 120”). SEMARNAT is the office
of the Federal Government of México responsible for the review and issuance of a CSUP (referenced below), the review of
a Technical Justification Study (referenced below) and the filing of Norm 120. Norm 120 is a notice to SEMARNAT only, and has no
processing time.
If
contemplated mineral exploration activities fall outside of the parameters defined under Norm 120, a “Change of Soil Use
Permit” (“CSUP”) Application is required to be filed at the SEMARNAT under the guidelines of the
Federal Sustainable
Forestry Development Act
and its Regulations. To meet the requirements for issuance of a CSUP, the applicant must also file
a Technical Study (“Technical Justification Study”) to justify the change of soil use from forestry to mining, to demonstrate
that biodiversity will not be compromised, and to demonstrate that there will be no soil erosion or water quality deterioration
on completion of the mineral exploration activities.
As
a pre-requisite for issuance of a CSUP, Article 118 of the
Federal Sustainable Forestry Development Act
provides for the
posting of a bond to the Mexican Forestry Fund for remediation, restoration and reforestation of the areas impacted by the mineral
exploration activities.
To
carry out mining activities in México, holders of mining concessions are also required to file an “Environmental Impact
Assessment Study” (“Environmental Impact Study”) under the guidelines of the
Federal Environmental Protection
and Ecological Equilibrium Act
and its Regulations, in order to evaluate the environmental impact of the contemplated mining
activities.
As
a pre-requisite for approval of an Environmental Impact Study, the
Federal Environmental Protection and Ecological Equilibrium
Act
and its Regulations require the posting of a bond to guarantee remediation and rehabilitation of the areas impacted by
the mining activities.
If
the use of explosives materials is required for execution of mineral exploration or mining activities, an Application for General
Permit for Use, Consumption and Storage of Explosive (“Explosives Permit”) is required to be filed at the offices of
the Secretariat of National Defense (“SEDENA”) under the guidelines of the
Federal Explosives and Firearms Act.
Under
the
Federal Mining Act,
holders of mining concessions in México have the right to the use of the water coming from
the mining works. However, certification of water rights and/or issuance of water rights concessions are required from the National
Water Commission (“CONAGUA”) under the guidelines of the
National Waters Act.

San Jose de Gracia Mineral Property
DynaMéxico owns 100% of the
mineral concessions at the San Jose de Gracia Property (“SJG”), located in Sinaloa State, México, which is the
only property in which DynaMéxico retains an interest. The Company owns 80% of the outstanding shares of DynaMéxico.
DynaMéxico holds title to 33 concessions covering approximately 69,121 hectares (170,802 acres).
The property is located in and around
San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa State, México which is approximately 100 km northeast of Guamuchil, near the west coast of México.
A small airstrip is located near San Jose de Gracia, and can be accessed by a small airplane or alternatively, by dirt mountain
road. Several roads on the property are accessible throughout the year, with the possible exception of July - September when the
rainy season sometimes causes flooding and runoff to make the roads difficult to navigate.
Currently, the Company’s drilling
programs (through DynaMéxico) are exploratory in nature.
The SJG Property is without Known
Reserves
Under U.S. standards, mineralization
may not be classified as a “reserve” unless a determination has been made that the mineralization could be economically
and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
SJG History
SJG reports 1,000,000 Oz. Gold historical
production from a series of underground workings. The major areas report 471,000 Oz. produced at the La Purisima area of SJG, at
an average grade of 66.7 g/t.; and 215,000 Oz. produced from the La Prieta area, at an average grade of 27.6 g/t. Mineralization
at SJG has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 square kilometer area.
Drilling programs at SJG were conducted
by a prior operator in 1997–1998, primarily at the Tres Amigos area, which outlined some of the down dip potential in this
area. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed in 63 drill holes.
DynaMéxico was formed in
March 2000, for the purpose of acquiring the concessions comprising the SJG District, and to consolidate all ownership of SJG under
DynaMéxico. DynaMéxico focused on acquisition and consolidation work through 2003, and reports a clear title and
ownership to the district.
DynaMéxico mined high-grade
veins at the San Pablo area of SJG from mid-2003 to June 2006, in a Pilot Production operation. 18,250 Oz Gold was produced and
sold, from mill feed tonnage of 42,500 tons, at an average grade of 15-20 g/t. Average production costs during the production period
were reported as $175/Oz.
Drilling programs conducted from
2007 through 2011
Drilling programs completed a total
of 298 drill holes covering 68,741 meters of drilling from 2007 through March 2011. Results of the drilling activity, including
the results of previous drilling in 1997-1998, appear in an “SJG Drill Intercepts Summary File through 11-298”, as
Exhibit 99.1 to our Form 10-Q/A for the period ended June 30, 2011 filed with the SEC on August 22, 2011, and available on EDGAR
at:
http://sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1111741/000112178111000241/ex99one.htm.

on December 31, 2012, an updated NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report for the San Jose de Gracia Project (the “Updated 2012
DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report, and the “updated Technical Report”). The updated Technical Report
was approved by DynaMéxico, and filed by the Company on SEDAR on December 31, 2012.
Regional Geology & Mineral Deposits
San José de Gracia lies within
the Sierra Madre Occidental Gold-Silver Belt, in a second-order graben directly east of the regional-scale Grete Graben. The
basement to the Sierra Madre Occidental consists of deformed Paleozoic sedimentary strata, which are non-conformably overlain by
Tertiary mafic to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic strata known as the Lower Volcanic Series (“LVS”). Strata
of the LVS are recognized as being spatially related to gold and silver mineralization in the region. Volcanic and sedimentary
strata are capped by a thick sequence of non-deformed Late Tertiary ignimbrites, known as the Upper Volcanic Series (“UVS”).
Property Geology
The oldest rocks exposed at San
José de Gracia are deformed Paleozoic shale, sandstone, conglomerate and minor limestone, which are non-conformably overlain
by andesite and rhyodacite flows and tuffs of the LVS. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry,
porphyritic diorite bodies and fine-grained mafic dykes, which may be co-temporal with the LVS. Ignimbrites of the UVS are
exposed at higher elevations on the property and are thought to act as a post mineralization cap rock, thereby indicating an Early
to Mid-Tertiary (Paleocene to Eocene) age for gold mineralization at San José de Gracia.
Geologic Structure
Detailed mapping within the project
area has defined several stages of deformation, beginning with compression during the Laramide Orogeny which affected the Paleozoic
basement and formed flat-lying reverse faults, which have been reactivated as conduits for gold-bearing fluids in the La Prieta
trend (Table 2). Extension in Tertiary time led to the development of second order structures, trending south, southwest
and southeast; which formed the major structural orientations for mineralization at San José de Gracia. The latest
phase of deformation is characterized by late-stage extension and southwest tilting.
Mineralization & Alteration
High grade gold mineralization at
San José de Gracia is hosted within andesite and rhyodacite of the LVS and underlying Paleozoic sediments as fault breccia
veins and crackle breccias that exhibit multiple stages of reactivation and fluid flow, as evidenced by crustiform/colloform textures
and cross cutting veins. Locally, veins exhibit sharp, clay gouge hangingwall and footwall contacts with slickensides, indicating
reactivation of structurally-hosted veins subsequent to mineralization. Gold grades can also be carried within the mineralized
halo adjacent to the principal veins as quartz-chlorite stockwork. In addition to vein-hosted mineralization, broad zones
of un-mineralized clay alteration, developed southwest of the main mineralized trends, may overlie lower-grade, disseminated gold
mineralization at depth.
Alteration at San José de
Gracia is laterally and vertically zoned from discrete zones of silicification to broad zones of illite to clay alteration with
increasing elevation and/or distance from the main feeder structures. Faulting and tilting of the mineralization system has
affected the surface distribution of alteration and in general has exposed deeper portions of the system in the northeast and exposed
shallower, more distal portions of the hydrothermal system in the southwest part of the property.
Six principal mineralized trends have been identified
at San José de Gracia, from south to north. These consist of the:
|
1.
La Purisima Ridge trend;
|
|
|
3.
|
La Parilla to Veta Tierra trend (Including La Union);
|
|
6.
|
Los Hilos to Tres Amigos trend
.

Lab
A field laboratory is maintained
within the camp facility. The Company utilized the lab for Assaying services during its production activities. Assays were performed
by Company personnel for mined mineralization, feed mineralization, gravity and flotation concentrates, and tailings. The current
status of the lab and equipment is care and maintenance. The Company anticipates utilizing the lab facility in the future for providing
quick check assays to support the exploration and bulk sampling works.
Legal Proceedings
US Litigation (Dallas, Texas) –
Company as Plaintiff
On December 27, 2012, the Company, and
DynaMéxico, filed an Original Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction in the 14
th
Judicial District Court of Dallas, Texas (the “Petition”) against Defendants Goldgroup Mining Inc., Goldgroup Resources
Inc., and certain individuals acting in concert with Goldgroup (collectively “Goldgroup”). The Petition alleged, among
other things, that Goldgroup has wrongfully used property, confidential information and data belonging to DynaMéxico and
consistently failed to disclose several matters of material importance to the public.
The Petition requested that Goldgroup
be enjoined from: (a) using or disseminating any confidential information belonging to DynaMéxico, (b) asserting that Goldgroup
owns any interest in the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than owning a common shares equity interest in DynaMéxico, (c)
improperly disclosing that Goldgroup is the operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than Mineras de DynaResource SA
de C.V. (“Mineras”), and (d) failing to properly disclose that broad powers of attorney for acting on behalf of DynaMéxico
are held by a DynaUSA senior executive.
The Petition further requested, among
other things: (a) a temporary and permanent injunction; (b) declaratory relief; (c) disgorgement of funds alleged to have been
improperly raised as a consequence of Goldgroup’s wrongful actions; (d) cancellation of shares of DynaMéxico stock
held by Goldgroup; and, (d) actual and punitive damages.
At the time of the filing, the Company
believed the Petition to be necessary in order to protect its shareholder interests in DynaMéxico and in order to protect
the property, data, and assets of DynaMéxico.
Although Goldgroup challenged the jurisdiction
to the filed litigation in Texas, Goldgroup has acknowledged that it owns no direct interest in the San Jose de Gracia Property,
and it has acknowledged that Mineras de DynaResource SA de C.V. (“MinerasDyna”), DynaUSA’s 100% owned subsidiary,
is the exclusive operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project. Additionally, recent developments in México in 2013,
including: (1) the signing of the Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”) between MinerasDyna and DynaMéxico;
(2) the signing of a 20 year land lease agreement between MinerasDyna and the Santa Maria Ejido Community surrounding the San
Jose de Gracia Project; and (3) the acquisition by DynaUSA of a majority interest in DynaMéxico; protect against Goldgroup’s
wrongfully obtaining and/or disseminating confidential data and information of DynaMéxico. These recent developments
in México provided that the Dyna Parties non-suited the Texas action as announced on March 14, 2014, without prejudice
to asserting or consolidating claims in México, as well as to contemplate additional claims or regulatory actions against
Goldgroup in Canada.
Previously, the Dyna Parties have filed
claims against Goldgroup in México, including, without limitation, claims for theft of confidential data and property
of DynaMéxico, claims for issuing misleading and inaccurate disclosures and, claims related to Goldgroup's asserting that
it owns interests that it does not own.
Goldgroup files for Arbitration
On March 14, 2014 Goldgroup filed for
arbitration, citing the Earn In Agreement dated September 1, 2006. The Company filed an answer on April 10, disputing that any
issues exist which provide for arbitration.
Litigation(s) in México –
Company is Plaintiff
The Company, and DynaMéxico have
filed several legal actions in México against Goldgroup Mining Inc, Goldgroup Resources Inc., certain individuals employed
or previously employed by Minop, S.A. de C.V. (a Company operating in México and associated with Goldgroup Mining Inc.),
and certain individuals retained as agents of Goldgroup Mining Inc. The Company and DynaMéxico are plaintiffs in the actions
filed in México and the outcomes are pending.
The Company believes that no material
adverse change will occur as a result of the actions taken, and the Company further believes that there is little to no potential
for the assessment of a material monetary judgment against the Company for legal actions it has filed in México. For purposes
of confidentiality, the Company does not provide more specific disclosure in this Form 10-Q/A.
Litigations – Company and/or
Officers and Directors as Defendants
Other than the Goldgroup claim for arbitration
above described, The Company, nor its Officers and Directors have received any formal notice of any legal actions filed against
them, nor is the Company or its Officers and Directors aware of any legal actions filed against them.
General
The Company currently holds 80%
of the outstanding shares of DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (“DynaMéxico”), which owns 100% of
the mineral concessions and related interest to the San José de Gracia mining District (“SJG”). SJG is currently
comprised of 33 mining concessions covering approximately 69,121 hectares located in and around San José de Gracia, in northern
Sinaloa State, México (“SJG”). SJG is located on the west side of the Sierra Madre Mountains, approximately
250 kilometers inland from the port city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa; and approximately 500 kilometers north of Mazatlan, Sinaloa.
The SJG is a High-Grade Mineralized System
which reports historical production of over 1 M. Oz. AU, from a series of underground workings. DynaMéxico is focused on
the exploration and future exploitation of this vein-hosted, near surface, and over 400 hundred M. down – dip gold potential,
that occurs within fault breccia veins; and has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 Sq. Km. area.
Prior Drilling and Exploration Activity / SJG (1997 / 1998)
A drill program was conducted at
SJG in 1997 - 1998 by Golden Hemlock Explorations, Ltd., a prior partner at SJG. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed
in 63 core drill holes. Significant intercepts, including bonanza grades, outlined down dip potential of the Northeast section
(150 Meter NE to SW extent of the Drilling) of the Los Hilos to La Cecena to Tres Amigos Trend. And, Drill Hole 97-63 confirmed
down dip and extension at the Palos Chinos Area of SJG.
Surface and underground sampling in 1999
- 2000 conducted by the Company confirmed high grades in historic workings and surface exposures throughout the SJG district and
project area. These high grades outlined the presence of mineralization shoots developed within the veins. The mineralized
shoots appear to be controlled by dilational jogs and/or vein intersections. A total of 544 samples were collected in 1999-2000,
and assayed an average 6.51 grams/ton (g/t) gold.
Recent Pilot Production Activities
(2003 – 2006)
During the period 2003 through 2006,
DynaMéxico conducted underground mining and pilot production activities at SJG. The small scale production activities at
SJG consisted of improvements to an existing mill, including the installation of a gravity / flotation processing circuit. Initial
test runs with tailings from historical production were completed in 2002. Actual mining at the high grade San Pablo area
of the SJG property commenced in March 2003. DynaMéxico produced 18,250 Oz. gold from Mid 2003 to June 2006; from mill feed
tonnage of 42,500 tons, at an average grade of approximately 15-20 g/t. Production costs were reported at approx. $175. /Oz.
Magnetic and IP Surveys
Magnetic and IP surveys were
conducted throughout the SJG district in 2009, covering an area of approximately 15 Sq. Km. IP is the primary geophysical
target at SJG, and is expected to identify pyrite-based mineralization hosting gold. Initial Survey Grid lines were located
approximately perpendicular to inferred geologic strike. The data response from these grid lines indicate one or more IP
sources that dip northwest. Additional grid lines were crossed with the initial lines, and appear to identify two separate IP
sources.
Grid lines to the South appear to indicate
an IP source at > 250 Meters.
Correlation between ground magnetic
and IP
In general the correlation between the
Magnetic and IP response and data was excellent.
Correlation with recent Drilling Programs
and known Mineralization
The data response of the surveys correlated
to the recent drilling programs and to the areas of known mineralization at SJG was excellent. Considering this excellent correlation
to known mineralization, additional areas of SJG showing similar data response could be indicative of additional target areas.
Identification of Additional Resource
Target Areas
Significant survey responses were reported
for the following areas; and are projected for follow up drilling:
San Pablo; Up Dip;
San Pablo; Displacement
Zone;
Tres Amigos; Down Dip and
Northwest;
Tres Amigos; Extension
Northeast;
Orange Tree; Down Dip;
La Cecena, Los Hilos, and
Tepehauje;
Palos Chinos;
La Prieta;
La Purisima; Down dip at
Southeast end;
Argyllic Zone; +
250 M. Down;
Activity for the Year Ended December
31, 2013 and 2012
In 2013, MinerasDyna, the Company's
100% owned subsidiary, in accordance with the terms of the Exploitation Amendment Agreement, refurbished the pilot production facility
at SJG, and rehabilitated the San Pablo mine, in order to process bulk mined ore samples from San Pablo through the pilot mill
facility. DynaMéxico received permits as discussed above for the rehabilitation and operation of the mill facility and the
exploitation and mining of the San Pablo area of SJG. The basis for the mining activity and the operation of the pilot mill facility
are the NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, the Technical Report, the block models prepared as a result of the recent drilling
activity, and the recent production history of 2003-2006.
National Instrument 43-101 Mineral
Resource Estimate (NI 43-101) for San Jose de Gracia
The Company received from DynaMéxico
on February 14, 2012 a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Mineral Resource Estimate for the SJG property, with
an Effective Date of February 6, 2012.
The NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate
was prepared by Mr. Robert Sandefur, BS, MSc, P.E., a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101, and a senior reserve analyst
for Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC, Lakewood, CO (“CAM”). The Mineral Resource Estimate concentrates on four separate
vein systems at SJG: Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union, and La Purisima.

Block Model in Surpac software
The Company has compiled its manual calculation
and internal interpretation of the mineralization at SJG defined by drilling and production to date. The Company has also built
the block model of mineralization at SJG using Surpac (Gemcom) software. The current block model at SJG confirms mineralization
at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Union, Palos Chinos, and La Purisima; with portions of the mineralization in a high grade category,
and including mineralization at San Pablo and Tres Amigos, and is consistent with the CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company
will continue this Surpac modeling work as additional drill programs are planned and completed.
National Instrument 43-101 Technical
Report for San Jose de Gracia
The Company received from DynaMéxico
on March 28, 2012 a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) compliant Technical Report for the San Jose de Gracia
Project (the “2012 DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report”, the “Technical Report”), and approved
by DynaResource de México, SA de CV. (“DynaMéxico”), the 100% owner of SJG.
The 2012 DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG
Technical Report was prepared by Mr. Ramon Luna, BS, P.Geo., of
Servicios
y Proyectos Mineros, Hermosillo, México, and
a Qualified Person as defined under NI 43-101; and by Mr. Robert Sandefur,
BS, MSc, P.E., a senior reserve analyst for Chlumsky, Armbrust & Meyer LLC, Lakewood, CO., and a Qualified Person as defined
under NI 43-101. The 2012 DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report includes as Section Fourteen (14) a Mineral Resource
Estimate for SJG as prepared by Mr. Sandefur (the “2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate”,
the “Resource Estimate”).
The Company filed the Technical Report
on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) on March 28, 2012.
Updated National Instrument 43-101
Technical Report for San Jose de Gracia
The Company received from DynaMéxico
on December 31, 2012, an updated NI 43-101 compliant Technical Report for the San Jose de Gracia Project (the “Updated 2012
DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG Technical Report, and the “updated Technical Report”). The updated Technical Report
was approved by DynaMéxico, and filed by the Company with SEDAR on December 31, 2012.
Dyna
México Approval of
Technical Reports
DynaMéxico approved and released
the National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Technical Report for SJG on March 28, 2012, and DynaMéxico approved
and released the NI 43-101 Updated Technical Report for SJG on December 31, 2012.
Structure of Company / Operations
Activities in México are conducted
by DynaMéxico, through operating agreement to the operating subsidiary of DynaResource, Inc., Mineras de DynaResource SA
de CV. (“MinerasDyna”); with the management of personnel being contracted by MinerasDyna through to the personnel management
subsidiary, DynaResource Operaciones, SA de CV (“DynaOperaciones”). DynaResource, Inc. management and consultants continue
to manage the 3 subsidiaries in México; while Chairman / CEO K.D. Diepholz is the President of each of the 3 companies.
Management and administrative fees are charged by MinerasDyna and DynaOperaciones, which are eliminated in consolidation.
Competitive Advantage
The Company, through its subsidiaries,
has been conducting business in México since March 2000. During this period the Company believes it has structured its subsidiaries
properly and strategically, and during which time the Company has retained key personnel and developed key relationships and support.
The Company believes its experience and accomplishments and relationships in México give it a competitive advantage, even
though many competitors may be larger and have more capital resources.
Drilling Programs
Further drilling programs at SJG are
anticipated, but those plans will take into consideration the recent NI 43-101 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource
Estimate and the recommendations made in the 2012 DynaMéxico Luna-CAM SJG 43-101 Technical Report and the updated Technical
Report. The Company expects DynaMéxico to plan continued drilling programs at SJG at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Cecena,
Palos Chinos, La Union, La Purisima, and La Prieta. And, the Company expects DynaMéxico’s continued exploration efforts
to confirm extensions to mineralization in all directions and down dip from the main target areas.
Note Receivable – Affiliate
DynaResource Nevada, Inc., a Nevada Corporation
(“DynaNevada”), with one operating subsidiary in México, DynaNevada de México, SA de CV (“DynaNevada
de México”) have common officers, directors and shareholders. The total amount loaned by the Company to DynaNevada
at December 31, 2010 was $750,000 USD. The terms of the Note Receivable provide for a “Convertible Loan”, repayable
at 5% interest over a 3 year period, and convertible at the Company’s option into Common Stock of DynaNevada at $0.25 / Share. DynaNevada
is a related entity, and through its subsidiary in México (DynaNevada de México), (“DynaNevada de México”),
has entered into an Option agreement with Grupo México (“IMMSA”) in México, for the exploration and development
of approximately 3,000 hectares in the State of San Luis Potosi (“the Santa Gertrudis Property”). In March, 2010, DynaNevada
de México completed the Option with IMMSA so that it now owns 100% of Santa Gertrudis. In June, 2010, DynaNevada de México
acquired an additional 6,000 Hectares in the State of Sinaloa (“the San Juan Property”). The Company has loaned additional
funds to DynaNevada since 2010 for maintenance of concessions and other nominal required fees and expenses.
Competition
DynaMéxico retains 100% of the
rights to concessions over the area of the San José de Gracia property and it currently sees no competition for mining on
the lands covered by those concessions. If DynaMéxico were to re-start production activities, the sale of gold and any bi-products
would be subject to global market prices, which prices fluctuate daily. DynaMéxico was successful in selling gold concentrates
produced from SJG in prior years, and the Company expects a competitive market for produced concentrates and/or other mineral products
in the future. Actual prices received by DynaMéxico would depend upon these global market prices, less deductions.
DynaMéxico conducted mining and
milling operations at SJG from March 2003 through June, 2006. This activity was suspended in order to focus on the exploration
of the vast SJG District. The Company’s operating subsidiaries, MinerasDyna and DynaOperaciones, receive monthly fees for
management of the SJG activities and personnel. These fee amounts are eliminated in consolidation. Other than those intercompany
fees, the Company reported no revenue in 2013 and 2012. The Company expects revenues from mining and production in 2014.
RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 AND 2013
REVENUE. Revenue for the three months
ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0 and $0. DynaMéxico ceased its production activities in 2006 in order to focus its efforts
on exploration and drilling activity, for the purpose of defining resources. The Company expects revenues from conducting production
activities in 2014.
PREPILOT-PRODUCTION EXPENSES. Pre Pilot-Production
Expenses were $820,346 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The increase in expenses was due
to the Company starting up operations in 2014. These expenses include refurbishment, facilitation of and cleaning of the mill and
mine operations. The Company was still in development stage in the prior year.
EXPLORATION EXPENSES. Exploration expenses
were $0 and $208,893 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in costs was due to the Company
starting up operations in 2014 and incurring Pre Pilot-Production Costs—see above.
OPERATING EXPENSES. Operating expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $346,334 and $533,178, respectively. The decrease in expenses is due primarily
to amounts previously expensed that were recovered when the Company received additional shares in DynaMexico in exchange for settlement
of accounts receivable from DynaMexico. The above expenses include depreciation and amortization amounts of $17,865 and $22,061
for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE). Other income,
exclusive of currency translation gain or (loss) was $42,231 and $134 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The increase is primarily due to interest expense in the current period of $42,338, with none in the prior period. Currency translation
gain or (loss) was $94,042 and $348,634 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST. The non-controlling
interest portion of our net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $139,209 and $198,420, respectively. This
is due to an increase in the net loss for the current period offset by the change in minority interest % from the prior quarter.
COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS). Comprehensive
loss includes the Company’s net loss plus the unrealized currency translation gain (loss) for the period which was a gain
of $8,214 in the current year and a loss of $2,765 in the prior year quarter.
Plan of Operation
The Plan of operation for the next
twelve months includes MinerasDyna commencing pilot production activities at SJG, while continuing drilling and exploration activities.
The amount allocated to each of these activities will depend on the results of the pilot production activities. The Company is
required to fund its general and administrative expenses in the US. The Company’s operating subsidiaries, MinerasDyna and
DynaOperaciones, receive monthly fees for management of SJG activities and personnel. These amounts are eliminated in consolidation.
The Company believes that cash on hand is adequate to fund its ongoing general and administrative expenses through 2014. The Company
plans to seek additional capital funding during the next 12 months depending on results of pilot production activities, market
conditions, results of drilling and exploration activities, and other circumstances.
Capital Expenditures
The Company’s primary activities
relate to the exploration of SJG property through its 80% owned subsidiary DynaMéxico. Drilling and other services at SJG
are contracted through MinerasDyna, the operating entity under agreement with DynaMéxico. The Company does not foresee significant
capital purchases in 2014 which would require funding from current cash reserves.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of March 31, 2014, the Company
maintained working capital of $614,222, comprised of current assets of $1,310,234 and current liabilities of $696,012. This represents
a decrease of $343,940 from the working capital maintained by the Company of $958,162 as of December 31, 2013, due primarily to
the continued funding of operations in the first quarter and expenses related to the refurbishment of the pilot mill facility and
the rehabilitation of the San Pablo mine at San Jose de Gracia.
Net cash used in operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased to $(1,120,158) from $(553,044) in the three months ended March 31, 2013. Again,
this was due to the increased activity relating to the refurbishing of the pilot mill facility and the rehabilitation of the San
Pablo mine, and the preparation for processing bulked mine samples through the pilot mill facility. The pilot mill facility is
now operational and we expect to produce revenue from the running bulk samples processed through the mill facility in 2014, in
order to fund continuing operations.
Cash used in investing activities
was primarily for purchase of fixed assets of $23,744 in the first quarter.
Cash provided by financing activities
for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $529,291 compared to $176,208 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The significant
increase is due to the Company raising funds in order to refurbish the pilot mill facility and for rehabilitating the San Pablo
mine, and to prepare to process bulk mined samples through the mill facility. The main component was the issuance by the Company
of Series B preferred stock for cash of $522,500.
Advances to Subsidiaries
DynaResource de México (“DynaMéxico”)
In May 2013, the Company acquired additional
equity interest in DynaMéxico in exchange for the retirement of accounts receivable of $2,393,803, which amount was due
from DynaMéxico at December 31, 2012. As a result, as of May 17, 2013, the Company owned 80% of the outstanding equity of
DynaMéxico. All intercompany balances eliminate in consolidation.
As of December 31, 2013, the Company
has no receivable from DynaMéxico, however, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary MinerasDyna had an accounts receivable
due from DynaMéxico in the amount of $2,800,000.
As of December 31, 2012, the Company
entered into an agreement with DynaMéxico in which DynaMéxico agreed to pay a fee of $541,915 in order to continue
to carry an amount payable to the Company. The fee was calculated as if interest had been charged at 4% interest compounded monthly
over the period in which the amounts accrued.
Mineras de DynaResource (“MinerasDyna”)
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had
advanced $3,348,000 to MinerasDyna and MinerasDyna had advanced $2,800,000 to DynaMéxico. The total amount of $2,800,000
is a receivable owed to MinerasDyna from DynaMéxico as of March 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2012 the Company agreed
with DynaMéxico to accrue interest on the total amount receivable until repaid or otherwise retired. The interest rate to
be accrued is agreed to be simple annual interest at the rate quoted by the Bank of México.
The receivables from MinerasDyna and
DynaMéxico have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Advances from Goldgroup Mining Inc.
(“Goldgroup”)
In January 2013, Goldgroup advanced $120,000
USD to DynaMéxico. This $120,000 contribution from Goldgroup was the first contribution from Goldgroup to DynaMéxico
since March 2011. And, in January 2014, Goldgroup advanced $111,500 USD to DynaMéxico.
Future Advances to MinerasDyna and
DynaMéxico from the Company
The Company expects to make additional
advances to MinerasDyna and DynaMéxico. Future advances from MinerasDyna to DynaMéxico will be made under the terms
of the Exploitation amendment agreement. Other advances are agreed to be accrued in the same manner as previous receivables, until
or unless otherwise agreed between DynaMéxico and the Company.
Sampling Process
The geological data contained in this
report was verified by an appropriate quality control person using industry standard quality controls and quality assurance protocols
utilized in exploration activities. Standard reference samples and various duplicates are inserted in each batch of assays. Drill
core samples are cut by saw on site and samples splits are prepared for shipment, sealed and then shipped for assaying. Samples
are sent to a certified assayer (Inspectorate Exploration & Mining Services Ltd., Vancouver, BC.) and analyzed for gold by
fire assay and for silver and 34 other trace and major elements in accordance with standard industry practices.
Drilling Programs
In the period September 2006 through
December 31, 2011, funding from Goldgroup provided for DynaMéxico’s completing approximately 68,741 meters drilling
at San Jose de Gracia, resulting in a defined NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate as described in the 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM
SJG Mineral Resource Estimate. The Company expects MinerasDyna to plan continued and subsequent drilling programs at San Pablo,
Tres Amigos, La Cecena, Palos Chinos, La Union, La Purisima, and La Prieta / Rosario / Rudolpho. The Company expects further drilling
programs to confirm extensions to mineralization in all directions and down dip from the main target areas.
Mineralization at San José de Gracia
The Company was informed by DynaMéxico
that it had outlined significant mineralization from drilling activity at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Union, and La Purisima areas
of SJG as described in the recent NI 43-101 2012 DynaMéxico-CAM SJG Mineral Resource Estimate. Further drilling is expected
to outline additional mineralization at these 4 major target areas at SJG, while additional mineralization are also expected to
be defined at La Prieta and the area Northeast of Tres Amigos. Other areas at SJG indicate clear potential to develop additional
mineralization.
No Known Reserves
Currently, the Company’s drilling
programs (through DynaMéxico) are exploratory in nature.
The SJG property is without known
reserves. Under U.S. standards, mineralization may not be classified as a “reserve” unless a determination has been
made that the mineralization could be economically and legally produced or extracted at the time the reserve determination is made.
Litigation
On December 27, 2012, the Company, and
DynaMéxico, filed an Original Petition and Application for Temporary Injunction and Permanent Injunction in the 14
th
Judicial District Court of Dallas, Texas (the “Petition”) against Defendants Goldgroup Mining Inc., Goldgroup Resources
Inc., and certain individuals acting in concert with Goldgroup (collectively “Goldgroup”). The Petition alleged, among
other things, that Goldgroup has wrongfully used property, confidential information and data belonging to DynaMéxico and
consistently failed to disclose several matters of material importance to the public.
The Petition requested that Goldgroup
be enjoined from: (a) using or disseminating any confidential information belonging to DynaMéxico, (b) asserting that Goldgroup
owns any interest in the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than owning a common shares equity interest in DynaMéxico, (c)
improperly disclosing that Goldgroup is the operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project, rather than Mineras de DynaResource SA
de C.V. (“MinerasDyna”), and (d) failing to properly disclose that broad powers of attorney for acting on behalf of
DynaMéxico are held by a DynaUSA senior executive.
The Petition further requested, among
other things: (a) a temporary and permanent injunction; (b) declaratory relief; (c) disgorgement of funds alleged to have been
improperly raised as a consequence of Goldgroup’s wrongful actions; (d) cancellation of shares of DynaMéxico stock
held by Goldgroup; and, (d) actual and punitive damages.
At the time of the filing, the Company
believed the Petition to be necessary in order to protect its shareholder interests in DynaMéxico and in order to protect
the property, data, and assets of DynaMéxico.
Although Goldgroup challenged the jurisdiction
to the filed litigation in Texas, Goldgroup has acknowledged that it owns no direct interest in the San Jose de Gracia Property,
and it has acknowledged that Mineras de DynaResource SA de C.V. (“Mineras”), DynaUSA’s 100% owned subsidiary,
is the exclusive operator of the San Jose de Gracia Project. Additionally, recent developments in México in 2013,
including: (1) the signing of the Exploitation Amendment Agreement (“EAA”) between Mineras and DynaMéxico; (2)
the signing of a 20 year land lease agreement between Mineras and the Santa Maria Ejido Community surrounding the San Jose de Gracia
Project; and (3) the acquisition by DynaUSA of a majority interest in DynaMéxico; protect against Goldgroup’s wrongfully
obtaining and/or disseminating confidential data and information of DynaMéxico. These recent developments in México
provided that the Dyna Parties non-suited the Texas action as announced by the Company on March 14, 2014, without prejudice to
asserting or consolidating claims in México, as well as to contemplate additional claims or regulatory actions against Goldgroup
in Canada.
Goldgroup files for Arbitration
On March 14, 2014 Goldgroup filed for
arbitration, citing the Earn In Agreement dated September 1, 2006. The Company filed an answer on April 10, 2104 disputing that
any issues exist which provide for arbitration.
Litigation in México –
Company is Plaintiff
