Dynacor Group (DNG) Planet MicroCap Showcase: Toronto 2026 summary

Business model and competitive position

• Operates as a processor, not a miner, buying ore from registered or formalizing artisanal miners and producing gold and silver doré for export.

• Nearly 30 years of Peruvian operating experience; supplier network exceeds 750 in Peru, supported by traceability from purchase through export.

• Procurement prices reflect daily LBMA pricing less a discount based on toll-milling terms and ore quality; in-house lab analysis takes 4–6 hours, with many suppliers paid electronically within 24–72 hours.

• Differentiation includes producing doré rather than concentrate, rapid and reliable supplier payments, and a business model with less exposure to mining royalties, depending on jurisdiction.

Artisanal mining market

• Artisanal gold mining involves more than 20 million people and represents over 20% of annual registered gold output; estimated production is at least 750 tonnes, with over 80% of activity informal.

• World Gold Council and LBMA cite the processing model as a reference for addressing the artisanal mining ecosystem.

• Management sees formalization as a growth opportunity and says each miner brought into formal channels can reduce mercury use.

Operating performance and market factors

• 2025 was a record year; 2026 was described as more challenging amid gold-price swings, with management adapting procurement and inventory decisions to limit exposure to price variation.

• Peru’s processing rate has been consistent for five quarters through the presentation, with production capacity of about 500 tonnes per day.

• Production planning considers South American rainy seasons, artisanal miners’ agricultural work, weather effects and transport disruptions; higher gold prices have supported year-round ore intake.
