Dynacor Gold Mines Inc. (TSX: DNG) (OTC PINK: DNGDF) (Dynacor or the Corporation) is pleased to release a summary of the underground and surface drilling results that were obtained during the recently completed exploration campaign at Tumipampa. As part of the overall 2015-2016 exploration campaign, a total of thirty-two (32) diamond drill holes were completed adding up to a total length of 7,541 meters. Twelve drill holes were drilled from the surface and 20 underground drill holes were drilled from underground drilling stations located in cross-cut 330 NW and cross-cut 485 NW.

    085 included the following significant intercepts (see Figure 1a, b and
    c):
    --  Drill hole HDD01-15-850 intercepted the Lisa vein grading 7.14 g/t
        Au over a true width of 2.49 m, including 22.21 g/t Au over a TW of
        0.50 m.
    --  Drill hole HDD04-15-850 intercepted the Manto Nazareno grading 4.43
        % Cu over a TW of 3.5 m including 11.87 % Cu over a TW of 1.3 m and
        2.24 g/t Au and 5.44 g/t Au, respectively.
    --  Drill hole HDD07-15-350 intercepted the Manto Dorado and the Manto
        Raquel. Manto Dorado grading 10.21 g/t Au and 0.96% Cu over a TW of
        3.69 meters including 42.14 g/t Au and 3.7 % Cu over a TW of 0.74m

        Au over a true width of 0.80 m, including 11.55 g/t Au over a TW of
        0.40 m.
--  Six surface drill holes targeting mineralized veins and mantos
    structures led to the discovery of new mineralized structures: the Manto
    Santa Rosa and four mineralized hydrothermal brecciated structures (yet
    to be named) and included the following significant results (see Figure
    3a, b and c):
    --  Drill hole HDD13-15-S intercepted the Lisa vein grading 1.74 g/t Au
        over a true width of 4.68 m including 4.55 g/t Au over a TW of 0.95

        grading 0.44 g/t Au over a TW of 2.72 meters and the Lisa vein
        grading 0.42 g/t Au over a TW of 0.78 meters.
    --  Drill hole HDD15-15-S also intercepted the Manto Santa Rosa grading
        0.66 g/t Au over an amazing TW of 10.57 m including 4.09 g/t Au over
        a TW of 0.68 meters.
    --  Two drills holes HDD16-15-S and HDD17-15-S discovered and
        intercepted four new brecciated hydrothermal mineralized structures
        (see Figures 3b and 3c).
--  Six drill holes were drilled in the extreme northern part of Skarn zone
    4. The drill holes were positioned according to high surface copper
    anomalies (up to 2.98% Cu, see press release dated November 10, 2015).
    The drill holes intercepted narrow bands of skarn mineralization with
    irregular copper grades (see Table 3 and Figure 4).
    --  Drill hole HDD19-15-S intercepted exoskarn-garnet mineralization
        with disseminated chalcopyrite and specularite and including an
        intercept grading 2.71 % Cu over a true width of 0.60 meters.
    --  Drill hole HDD21-15-S intercepted close to the surface a mineralized
        brecciated hydrothermal zone with disseminated pyrite at the contact
        interface between monzodiorite and porphyritic tonalite. This
        intercept from 7.1 m to 10.30 m graded 0.58% Cu and included a 0.95
        m segment grading 1.74% Cu.
    --  Drill hole HDD22-15-S intercepted 0.11 % Cu over a true width of 7.0
        m.
    --  Drill hole HDD23-15-S intercepted several sections of mineralized
        material close to the recently discovered "el Potro" Porphyry (see
        press release dated November 10th, 2015). Chloritic alterations with
        chalcopyrite and pyrite mineralization were identified (including a
        0.55 m intercept with 0.23% copper and 0.05 g/t Au) in an intensely
        sub-parallel fractured rock indicating shearing associated with a
        regional fault zone.

Results

In contrast to conventional drilling campaigns which are carried out to define resources, the objective of the Tumipampa 2015 drilling campaign was to investigate the extension and spatial orientation of known veins and mantos. The data thus obtained greatly facilitated decisions regarding the underground exploration campaign of more than 2,100 meters of costly excavation of cross-cuts, drifts, and raises.

Underground Drilling

Twenty drill holes adding up to a total length of 4,337 meters were drilled from the underground drilling stations. Seventeen drill holes were drilled from three drilling stations 350, 850 and 710 located in cross-cut 330 NW and three drill holes from drilling station 085 located in cross-cut 485NW. The locations of the drill holes are given in Figures, 1a, 1b and 1c and the most significant intercepts in Table 1.

Surface Drilling of Veins and Mantos

Building on the drilling data obtained in 2008 and 2013 (see Figure 2), six additional drill holes adding up to a total of 1,967 meters were drilled in 2015 from the surface targeting the Lisa vein, the Manto Nazareno and Manto Dorado. Drill holes HDD14-15-S and HDD15-15-S revealed a new mineralized structure the Manto Santa Rosa. Drill holes HDD16-15-S and HDD17-15-S intercepted four new hydrothermal brecciated mineralized structures that will need to be investigated further to determine their potential to host economic gold and copper mineralization.

The location of the drill holes and assay data for the most significant intercepts are shown in Figures 3a, 3b and 3c and in Table 2.

Surface drilling of Skarn Zone 4

Six surface drill holes located in the northern part of Skarn Zone 4 were drilled directly below the high surface copper anomalies (with values up to 2.98% Cu) that had been measured in a surface exploration campaign (see press release dated November 10, 2015). A number of intercepts of skarn type alterations were revealed with Cu assays up to 2.71 % (see Table 3). For instance, drill hole HDD22-15-S assayed an average value of 0.11 % Cu over a true width of 7 meters including an assay of 0.33 % Cu over a TW of 1.0 meter.

Drill hole HDD23-15-S intercepted the extreme northern part of the Porphyry "el Potro" and revealing a typical chloritic alteration with Type D (quartz-pyrite) veinlet stockworks. This type of mineralization is evidence that indicates the presence of a Cu-Au porphyritic body. Further drilling of the porphyry will target the economic zones that are associated with a potassic alteration (biotite-magnetite).

The location of the drill holes is shown in Figure 4 and the most significant intercepts in Table 3.

The entire detailed set of sample assays for the 20 underground and 12 surface drill holes can be viewed at www.dynacorgold.com in the exploration section.

Conclusions and Outlook

Both the underground and surface drill holes have been valuable to orientate the important underground exploration campaign that was carried in 2015-2016. Furthermore, the drilling campaign has specifically led to the discovery of the following new mineralized structures:

--  Manto Santa Rosa see Figure 3a (Drill holes HDD14-15-S and HDD15-15-S)
    which because of its very significant width (10.57 m true width with
    0.66 g/ t Au) will require further exploration to determine its
    potential;
--  Two hydrothermal brecciated structures a) a quartz-pyrite mineralized
    structure in a limonite matrix and b) a hydrothermal brecciated
    structure with pyrite and high grades of lead and zinc (see Figure 3b;
    Drill hole HDD16-15-S); and
--  Two hydrothermal brecciated structures: c) a quartz-pyrite mineralized
    structure; and d) a 2nd distinct structure that is mineralized with
    quartz and pyrite (see Figure 3c; Drill hole HDD17-15-S).

Drilling of the Skarn Zone 4, found interesting copper values (see Table 3) but the most important result was the mineralogy encountered in Drill hole HDD23-15-S which intercepted the extreme northern part of the "el Potro" Cu-Au porphyry. The chloritic alteration with Type D (quartz-pyrite) veinlet stockworks is clearly evidence that supports the presence of a Cu-Au porphyritic body. However, this type of structure requires more drilling to find the economic grades that may underlie the very high anomalous Au and Cu surface essays that have been published (see press release dated 10 Nov 2015). In this study, surface channel samples with anomalous gold grades between 0.13 to 9.59 g/t Au and anomalous copper grades between 0.1 and 3.63 % Cu were found. These zones will be priority drilling targets for Dynacor in the next 12 months.

ABOUT DYNACOR GOLD MINES INC.

Dynacor is a gold ore-processing and exploration Corporation active in Peru since 1996. The Corporation differentiates itself from pure exploration companies as it generates income from its wholly owned ore-processing plant. Dynacor's basic share count at 37.4 million outstanding is in the lowest quartile of the resource sector. The Corporation's assets include three exploration properties, including the advanced high-grade gold Tumipampa property and an operating 85.000 TPA gold and silver ore processing mill at Metalex-Huanca. The Corporation is currently building a new 300 tpd ore processing plant in Chala (Southern Peru) and expects to begin operations in mid-2016. This new plant represents an important milestone for the Corporation's future growth. The Corporation's strength and competitive advantage comes with the experience and knowledge it has developed while working in Peru. Its pride remains in maintaining respect and positive work ethics toward its employees, partners and local communities.
