(a)- Since operations at the Company's Zaruma Gold Project are in the pre-commercial phase, the proceeds from the sale of precious metals, net of production expenses and taxes, are credited to mine development costs and not recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations as permitted under International Financial Reporting Standards.

Production and Sales

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company received proceeds of $8.5 million from the sale of approximately 5,000 ounces of processed gold and 16,000 ounces of processed silver derived from intermittent operations at its processing plant in Zaruma during the continued development of the Zaruma mines.

Subsequent to March 31, 2013, and up to the date of this news release, the Company exported approximately 3,350 ounces of gold and 7,500 ounces of silver with an aggregate approximate value of $5.0 million.

Mining

The Company continues to concentrate development activities on the main mine "Cabo de Hornos" which provides the best access to the in situ resource. To date, a significant amount of the material mined has come from old workings, generally not included in the Company's resource estimate, using hand held drilling and trackless mining methods. The Company is currently mining and delivering to the plant an average of approximately 450 tonnes of resource and non-resource material of varying grades per day.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 the Company successfully dewatered the decline at "Cabo de Hornos" to the current mine level and was able to recommence the decline development in this area. The Company expects to be required to continue dewatering as the decline progress downwards, however the volume of water is expected to be less as the Company moves beneath the abandoned mine workings.

The advance of the declines in the current year has allowed the Company to start accessing and mining higher grade areas contained in the Company's resource, particularly the Matalanga vein resulting in an increase in the average grade of the material mined and delivered to the plant, compared to the second half of last year. The Company expects to gain access to additional higher grade veins, contained in the resource, as the declines continue to be developed during the current year, which is expected to result in increased mine production. This outlook is based on current operations, mine plans and exploration results, which are subject to change and cannot be assured (see "Critical Risk Factors" of the Company's Management's Discussion and Analysis, dated March 27, 2013, which is available at www.sedar.com).

Forward-Looking Information

This news release contains statements which are, or may be deemed to be, "forward-looking information" which are prospective in nature, including, without limitation, statements regarding Dynasty's future plans and expectations relating to the Cabo de Hornos mine including accessing higher grades of precious metals as the Company advances through declines. Forward-looking information is not based on historical facts, but rather on then current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates and forecasts about the business and the industry and markets in which the Company operates, including assumptions relating to the Company's ability to continue progress through its declines with minimal or no interruption, that the Company will be able to continue its progress in respect of its mines as planned, that the Company will continue to sell processed gold and silver at levels that allow it to fund the continued development of its mining projects, that the Company will have access to capital if required, that all necessary approvals and arrangements will be obtained and/or finalized in a satisfactory manner in order to continue developing the Company's projects, and that the Company's equipment will operate at expected levels. Often, but not always, forward-looking information can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as "plans", "expects", "estimates", "forecasts", "projects", "intends", "anticipates" or "believes", or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "should", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved. Such statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause Dynasty's actual results, revenues, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Important risks that could cause Dynasty's actual results, revenues, performance or achievements to differ materially from Dynasty's expectations include, among other things: (i) risks related to prior mining activity at Dynasty's mines and declines, (ii) uncertainties relating to our mineral resource estimates (iii) risks related to availability of capital on satisfactory terms, (iv) risks related to being an early stage producer; (ii) risks related to Dynasty's lack of history in producing metals from Dynasty's mineral exploration properties and its ability to successfully establish mining operations or profitably produce precious metals; (v) that Dynasty will be unable to successfully negotiate agreements with the holders of surface rights on areas covered by Dynasty's project concessions; (vi) changes in the market prices of gold, silver, and other minerals, which, in the past, have fluctuated widely and which could affect the profitability of Dynasty's operations and financial condition; (vii) risks related to governmental regulations, including taxation statutes; (viii) risks related to Dynasty's primary properties being located in Ecuador, including political, economic, and regulatory instability; (ix) uncertainty in Dynasty's ability to obtain and maintain certain permits necessary to the Company's current and anticipated operations and other risks disclosed in Dynasty's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2012 and other public filings, which is available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) at www.sedar.com.
