MONTREAL, Oct. 19, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dynacor Group Inc. (TSX-DNG) (Dynacor or the "Corporation"), an international gold ore industrial corporation servicing ASMs (artisanal and small-scale miners), today announced gold sales of US$46.0 million (unaudited) (C$60.1 million) ⁽¹⁾ for the third quarter of 2022, a decrease of US$15.9 million compared to last year.

In September, the Corporation recorded sales of US$14.4 million (CA$19.2 million) compared to US$25.8 million (C$32.7 million) in September 2021 which had benefited from the export of prior period retained gold bars for US$ 2.4 million and from one of the highest grades of ore processed in 2021. The average selling price of gold in September 2022 was US$1,666 per oz, compared to US$1,767 per oz last year, a decrease of 5.7 %. September 2022 sales were affected by lower gold prices due to the increasing strength of the US dollar and by a lower gold production due to lower grades of ore processed.

The 2022 third-quarter sales amounted to US$46.0 million compared to US$53.9 million for the previous quarter Q2-2022 and were as well significantly affected by the decrease in gold market prices and a lower production due to lower grades of ore processed, as the plant continues to run at its full 430 tpd capacity. The comparative sales were as follows:
