In 2021 Dynacor increased its Veta Dorada processing plant's capacity by 30%, from 330 tpd to 430 tpd. The Corporation plans to increase the plant's capacity further sometime in 2022. Furthermore, Dynacor ended 2021 with a robust level of inventory, which allows the Corporation to continue producing at full capacity at the start of 2022. With this expansion and production capability, Dynacor is well-positioned for continued growth in the ASM ore-processing business through 2022 and beyond.
