July's record gold production of 5,701 ounces is due to the purchase of gold ore with an abnormally high grade which was delivered to the plant in June. In the next few months, grades are expected to return to previous levels of 0.65 to 0.80 oz./tonne.
As part of the Company's growth strategy, Dynacor approved in late 2011, construction of a new gold ore processing facility which will have an initial capacity of 300 tonnes per day and is designed to be readily upgraded to 430 tonnes per day.
The company will report in due course on the progress, the construction calendar and a target commissioning date for the new ore processing plant in Chala.
