MONTREAL–June 19, 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$23.7 million (C$32.4 million) (1) for May 2024, compared to US$21.5 million (C$29.1 million) in May 2023.
Sales increase versus May last year of US$2.2 million or 10.2% is due to increases in sales prices (+US$3.7 million) partially offset by decreases in sales volumes (-US$1.5 million). Volumes were impacted by lower grades of ore supplied.
