Item 1. Business
Company.
DynaResource, Inc., the Company described herein, is a Delaware corporation, with offices located at 222 W. Las Colinas Blvd., Suite 744 East Tower, Irving, Texas 75039. It can be reached by phone at (972) 868-9066 and by fax at (972) 868-9067.
History.
The Company was incorporated in the State of California on September 28, 1937, under the name West Coast Mines, Inc. In November 1998, the Company re-domiciled its corporate charter from California to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc.
The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, and developing precious metal properties, and the production of precious metals.
In 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. chartered in Mexico (“DynaMexico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in Mexico. In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”) and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre, S.A. de C.V.) (“MinerasDyna”). The Company owns 25% of MinerasDyna and acquired effective control by acquiring the option under agreement to purchase the remaining 75% of the Shares outstanding for the Company, for seventy five pesos (approximately $5.50 USD, as of December 31, 2009). The agreement with other shareholders of MinerasDyna provided that they relinquish and forfeit any and all rights, interests and claims in and to the Corporation and in or to any of the rights or assets owned or controlled by the Corporation. The Company exercised the option to acquire the remaining 75 % of MinerasDyna in January 2010; and it now owns 100 % of Mineras Dyna.
3
DynaMexico holds title to all mining concessions and all assets relating to the San Jose de Gracia mining property (“SJG”). DynaMexico has entered into an operating agreement with MinerasDyna whereby MinerasDyna has been named the exclusive operator of the SJG; and MinerasDyna has subsequently entered into a personnel services agreement whereby DynaOperaciones registers and manages personnel in Mexico.
The San Jose de Gracia mining property surrounds the area of San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa State, Mexico. San Jose de Gracia is located on the west side of the Sierra Madre Mountains, approximately 100 kilometers inland from Los Mochis, Sinaloa Mexico and approximately 200 Kilometers north of Mazatlan, Sinaloa. The SJG property (“SJG”) is described in more detail in this Form 10-K, under the Section titled “PROPERTY”.
SJG reports 1,000,000 Oz. gold historical production from a series of underground workings. 471,000 Oz. is reported produced at the La Purisima area of SJG, at an average grade of 66.7 g/t.; and 215,000 Oz. is reported produced from the La Prieta area, at an average grade of 27.6 g/t. Mineralization at SJG has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 square kilometer area.
A drill program was conducted at SJG in 1997 - 1998 by a prior majority owner. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed in 63 core drill holes. Significant intercepts, including bonanza grades, outlined Down Dip potential of the Northeast section (150 Meter NE to SW extent of the Drilling) of the Los Hilos to Tres Amigos Trend of SJG. Surface and underground sampling in 1999 - 2000 confirmed high grades in historic workings and surface exposures throughout the project area. These high grades outline the presence of ore shoots developed within the veins. The ore shoots appear to be controlled by dilational jogs and/or vein intersections. A total of 544 samples were collected in 1999-2000, and assayed an average 6.51 grams/ton gold.
DynaMexico was formed in March, 2000, in order to acquire and consolidate the SJG district under the DynaMexico Company. DynaMexico focused on this acquisition and consolidation work through December, 2003, at which time DynaMexico reported a 100 % ownership of the SJG District.
DynaMexico, conducting activities through its operating sister companies MinerasDyna and DynaOperaciones, mined high-grade veins at the San Pablo area of SJG from mid 2003 to June 2006. 18,000 Oz. gold was produced and sold; from mined tonnage of 42,250 tons, at an average grade of approximately 20 g/t. Production costs were reported at approx. < $ 175. / Oz. in this small scale, pilot production operation.

The small scale mining and production activities at SJG consisted of improvements to an existing mill, including the installation of a gravity / flotation processing circuit, and initial test runs with tailings were completed in 2002. Actual mining at the higher grade San Pablo area of the property commenced in March 2003. On an annual basis, The Company reported the following results of production activities from March 2003 through June, 2006:
|
·
|
Mined tonnage reported of 7,500, 13,500, 17,500 and 3,750; for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|

|
·
|
Average mined grades reported of 25 g/t, 25 g/t, 15 g/t and 12 g/t for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|
|
·
|
Production in ounces gold reported of 4,750, 7,500, 5,000 and 750 for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|
|
·
|
Expenses on an accrual basis of $ 733,626, $ 1,305,344, $ 1,485,482, and $ 494,422 for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|
|
·
|
Revenues on an accrual basis of $ 1,543,237, $ 3,259,041, $ 2,169,609 (less $ 375,110. in concentrate losses) and $ 1,647,665 for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|
|
·
|
Costs per ton reported of $ 97.81, $ 93.92, $ 87, and $ 131. for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively;
|
|
·
|
Costs per ounce gold produced reported of $ 125, $ 125, $ 240 and $ 491 for years 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectfully;
|
The Company notes the reduced average mined grade in 2005 and 2006, resulting from geologic faulting at San Pablo, as the reason for higher production costs per oz., even while the production costs per ton were reduced during 2005. And, the increase in costs in 2006 included the costs of suspending the production activity and costs of termination of employees.
Suspension of Production Activities
The Company initiated the test production activity in 2003 at the time gold prices were depressed, and when exploration funding opportunities, while available, were deemed to be too dilutive by Company management. While the Test production was a success (see results above), a small scale production activity was not expected to provide the necessary capital in order to explore a project the size of SJG. However, The Company expects the results of the production activity to provide significant benefits to the exploration drilling to be conducted at San Pablo and other areas of SJG; while at the same time confirming production grades, efficiency of recoveries, and production costs. The Company believes this small scale mining works have laid the foundation for the scaling up of production at SJG in the future. The Company further believes that overall production costs can be significantly reduced in a larger scale operation.
As gold prices continued to appreciate into 2006, exploration financing opportunities increased and the Company negotiated and entered into the “Earn In / Option agreement with Goldgroup Resources Inc., Vancouver, BC, dated September 1, 2006. The Terms of the Earn In / Option agreement provides for $ 18 M. USD financing, and exploration expenditures at SJG, by Goldgroup to DynaMexico, in exchange for Goldgroup’s earning of 50 % of the Shares of DynaMexico, while also providing for the involvement of proven industry professionals in the SJG project. (See Earn In / Option Agreement.)

As of December 31, 2009, Goldgroup had deposited $9,867,990 USD to DynaMexico, with approximately $103,024,033, Mexican Pesos reported in qualified expenditures.
Phase 1, 2 and 3 of the Earn In / Option Agreement; Activity and Results
In Phase 1 of the Earn In Agreement, approximately 3,400 meters drilling was accomplished in 22 core drill holes (SJG 07-01 to SJG 07-22); as well as geochemical sampling and mapping, and data consolidation into Surpac Software.
In Phase 2 of the Earn In Agreement, approximately 5,500 meters was completed in 23 core drill holes (SJG 07-23 to 07-45).
In Phase 3 of the Earn In Agreement, approximately 15,150 meters was completed in 56 core drill holes (SJG 08-46 to SJG 08-101).
In Phase 4 of the Earn In Agreement, and at December 31, 2008, approximately 5,950 meters were completed in 25 core drill holes (through SJG 08-126).
Continuing with Phase 4 of the Earn In Agreement, in 2009 and at December 31, 2009, an additional 4,000 Meters was completed in 21 Drill Holes (through SJG 09-147.)
At December 31, 2009, a total of 34,000 meters drilling has been completed in 147 core drill holes, financed pursuant to the Earn In Agreement. (The “SJG Drill Intercepts Summary File”, describing the intercepts of all core drill holes, and including the previous drilling results of 1997-1998, is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 10 / K.) Drilling Highlights by target area are described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Item 7.
These drilling Results obtained through December 31, 2009 confirm extensions of mineralization, down dip of historical workings at SJG, with confirmation of high grade gold (as measured in grams per ton) which are consistent with historical and recent production. Specifically, San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Purisima, and La Union areas have reported significant results, which have begun to define an inferred resource in those areas. Continuing Phase 4 drilling will be targeted at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Prieta, La Union and La Purisima. In 2010, the Company expects DynaMexico to commission a 43-101 compliant report of the current “resources” defined at SJG. (See Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Item 7).
In addition to the drilling and exploration activity conducted pursuant to the Earn In Agreement, three additional Mining Concessions have been claimed for the benefit of DynaMexico. Title to these Concessions has been received by DynaMexico, which extends the SJG District by approximately 95,000 Hectares (to a Total of + 99,500 Hectares).
The Company maintains approximately 28 employees. Three employees are corporate officers and work in the corporate office in the United States. Other employees are maintained through DynaOperaciones in Mexico. The Company also retains legal counsel in the US, legal counsel in Mexico, and it retains as consultants a senior geologist and junior geologist in Mexico.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Business Risk
The Company is involved in the business of exploration and development of resource properties, which carries the inherent risk of failure
The exploration and development of mineral deposits involve significant risks which a combination of careful evaluation, experience and knowledge may not eliminate. There is no assurance that the Company’s exploration programs will result in any discoveries of commercial ore bodies. The company has numerous competitors, many with greater financial, technical, capital, and other resources.
Nature of Mineral Exploration and Mining
The Company’s future is dependent upon its exploration programs. The exploration and development of mineral deposits involve significant risks over significant periods of time. It is impossible to ensure that the current or proposed exploration programs on the Company’s property will result in a profitable mining operation.
Whether a mineralized deposit will be commercially viable depends on many factors, such as size and grade of the deposit, proximity to infrastructure, financing costs, regulations, environmental protection, commodities prices, taxes, political risks. The impact of these factors cannot be accurately predicted, but the combination of factors may result in the Company’s failure to provide a return on investment.
Competitive Business Conditions
The company competes with many larger, well capitalized companies which places the Company at a competitive disadvantage
The Company competes with many companies in the mining business, including large, established mining companies with substantial capabilities, personnel, and financial resources. There is a limited supply of desirable mineral lands available for claim-staking, lease, or acquisition in Mexico where the Company’s activities are focused. The Company may be at a competitive disadvantage in acquiring mineral properties, since it competes with companies which have greater financial resources and larger technical staffs. From time to time, specific properties or areas which would otherwise be attractive for acquisition or exploration are unavailable due to their previous acquisition by competitors or due to the Company’s lack of financial resources.
Competition in the industry is not limited to the acquisition of mineral properties, but also extends to the technical expertise to find, advance, and operate such properties; the labor to operate the properties; and the capital for the purpose of funding such properties. Many competitors explore for and mine precious metals, and conduct refining and marketing operations on a world-wide basis. Such competition may result not only in the company being unable to acquire desired properties, but also to recruit or retain qualified employees, to obtain equipment and personnel to assist in our exploration activities, or to acquire the capital necessary to fund our operation and advance our properties. Our inability to compete with other companies for these resources would have a material adverse effect on our results of operation and business.
8
Government Regulations
The Company conducts its resource exploration and development activities in Mexico, subject to rules and regulations for owning and maintaining mining concessions and surface rights, environmental, water rights, hazardous wastes, explosives, reclamation, and others. There can be no certainty that the company maintains full compliance with all government regulations
Mexico. Exploration and development of minerals in Mexico may be carried out through Mexican companies incorporated under Mexican law by means of obtaining exploration and development (exploitation) concessions. The Company’s concessions are granted by the Mexican government, or acquired from previous owners, and are filed in the Public Registry of Mining, are scheduled to expire from 2028 through 2058. Holders of exploration concessions may, prior to the expiration of such concessions, apply for one or more development concessions covering all or part of the area covered by an exploration concession.
Environmental law in Mexico provides for general environmental policies, with specific requirements set forth under regulations of the Ministry of Environment, Natural Resources and Fishing, which regulate all environmental matters with the assistance of the National Institute of Ecology and the Procuraduria Federal de Proteccion al Ambiente.
The primary laws and regulations governing environmental protection for mining in Mexico are found in the General Law, the Ecological Technical Standards, and also in the air, water and hazardous waste regulations, among others. In order to comply with the environmental regulations, a concessionaire must obtain a series of permits during the exploration stage. Generally, these permits are issued on a timely basis after the completion of an application by a concession holder. The Company believes it is currently in full compliance with the General Law and its regulations in relation to its mineral property interests in Mexico.
Commodities Prices
Any potential economic success of the Company’s properties will depend to a large extent to the market price of commodities; the future price of which is impossible to predict.
The current value and potential value for properties obtained by the Company is directly related to the market price for gold. The market price of gold may also have a significant influence on the market price of the Company’s common stock. If the Company obtains positive drill results and a property progresses to a point where a commercial production decision can be made, the decision to put a mine in production and to commit funds necessary for that purpose would be made long before any revenue from production would be received. A decrease in the market price of gold at any time during future exploration or development may prevent a property from being economically mined or result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of lower gold prices.
The price of gold is affected by numerous factors beyond the Company’s control, including inflation, fluctuation of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional demand, the purchase or sale of gold by central banks, and the political and economic conditions of major gold producing countries throughout the world. During the last five years, the market price of gold has fluctuated between approximately $411 and $1,212 per ounce. The volatility of gold prices represents a substantial risk which is impossible to fully eliminate. In the event gold prices decline and remain low for prolonged periods of time, the Company might be unable to explore, develop, or produce revenue from its properties.
9
No Revenue
The Company suspended its production activity in June 2006; and currently receives no significant revenue. There is a risk that the Company would expend available cash and funding in exploration and administration costs, and would not be able to obtain further funding to continue its work.
In June 2006, production activities at SJG were suspended, in order to focus on the exploration of the vast SJG district. Funds received by DynaMexico pursuant to the Earn In Agreement are segregated for exploration and related activities. In addition, the Company maintains overhead in the US. and other costs which are not reimbursed. The Company and its subsidiaries have $1,640,548 in cash on hand, at December 31, 2009. The Company could incur exploration expenses and corporate expenses greater than the amount of available cash on hand. The Company may need to raise additional funds in order to support its activities. If the Company needs to raise additional capital, its common stock would be diluted. Further, if the Company is unable to raise funds to meet its obligations, the value of its common stock may decline.
Substantial Control of Chairman / Preferred Shares
The Company’s Chairman and CEO owns 100% of the Preferred A shares which give him the right to elect the majority of the board of directors and therefore he will always have substantial control over our business and may make decisions that are not in the best interest of all stockholders.
K.W. (“K.D.”) Diepholz, the Company’s Chairman and CEO, owns 100% of the outstanding Class A Preferred Shares which gives him the authority to elect the majority of the Board of Directors. As a result, Mr. Diepholz will have the ability to control substantially all the matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election and removal of directors and any merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. Mr. Diepholz will also control the Company’s management and affairs. Accordingly, this concentration of control may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of the Company, impeding a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving the Company or discouraging a potential acquirer from making a tender offer or otherwise attempting to take control of the Company, even if the transaction would be beneficial to other stockholders. This, in turn, could cause the value of the Company’s stock to decline.
Capital Needs
The Company may need to raise additional capital, which may not be available or may be too costly, which, if not obtained, could cause the Company to cease operations.
The Company’s capital requirements could be greater than its operating income. The Company believes it has adequate cash on hand for the foreseeable future, but it does not have sufficient cash to indefinitely sustain operating losses. The Company’s liquidity depends on its ability to raise capital through the sale of common stock or to restart production activities. The Company could seek additional financing through debt or equity offerings. Additional financing may not be available, or, if available, may be on terms unacceptable or unfavorable. If additional capital is required and not obtained, or if the Company is not able to produce revenue from operations, or otherwise operate at a profit, the value of investment in the Company could decline or be lost entirely.
Illiquid Market
The Company has a limited public market trading on the pink sheets, and an active trading market may never materialize, and an investor may not be able to sell stock.
Prior to the filing of this registration statement, there has been a limited public market for the Company’s common stock. The Company plans to work with a market maker who would then apply to list the Company’s securities on the OTC Bulletin Board. In order to be quoted on the OTCBB, the Company must be sponsored by a participating market maker who would make the application on its behalf. At this time, the Company is not aware of a market maker who intends to sponsor its securities and to make a market in our stock. An active trading market may not develop and if not the market value could decline to a value below the amount investors paid for stock. Additionally, if the market is not active or illiquid, investors may not be able to sell the securities of the Company.
10
Penny Stock Classification
If a public trading market for the Company’s common stock materializes, it will be classified as a ‘penny stock’ which would result in additional requirements for trading the stock. These additional requirements could affect the liquidity of the stock.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission treats stocks of certain companies as a ‘penny stock’. The Company is not aware of a market maker who intends to make a market in our stock, but should the Company shares be listed for trade, the shares would be classified as a ‘penny stock’ which results in further requirements. These requirements include (i) broker-dealers requiring prospective buyers to complete a questionnaire, and (ii) broker-dealers may decide that prospective buyers are not suitable to purchase shares of the Company. These requirements may adversely affect the ability of both the selling broker-dealer and the buying broker-dealer to trade securities of the Company, as well as affect the ability of purchasers of Company securities to in turn sell in the secondary market. These requirements may restrict or eliminate potential buyers for the common stock and as a result the shares of the Company could be illiquid.
Title Matters
No Guaranty of Title.
The Company has investigated title to all mineral claims, and, to the best of its knowledge, title to all properties is in good standing. There can be no assurance of complete title, nor guarantee of title. The properties may be affected by undetected defects in title, such as the reduction in size of the mineral claims and other third party claims affecting the Company's priority rights.
General Conflicts of Officers / Management
The officers of the Company could become involved in other mining properties or companies in similar lines of business, creating a conflict of interest. In this event, officers could make decisions that are not in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company.
Directors of the Company are or may become directors of other mining or resource investment companies, or other reporting companies, or, have significant shareholdings in other mineral resource companies. To the extent that such other companies may participate in ventures in which the Company may participate, the directors of the Company may have a conflict of interest in negotiating and concluding terms respecting the extent of such participation. The Company and its directors attempt to minimize such conflicts. In the event that such a conflict of interest arises at a meeting of the directors of the Company, a director who has such a conflict may be requested to abstain from voting. In appropriate cases the Company may establish a special committee of independent directors to review a matter in which several directors, or management, may have a conflict. In determining whether or not the Company will participate in a particular program and the interest therein to be acquired, the directors will primarily consider the potential benefits to the Company, the degree of risk to which the Company may be exposed and its financial position at that time. Other than as indicated, the Company has no other procedures or mechanisms to deal with conflicts of interest. It is possible that they make decisions which could adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock and cause the price to be less than it might have been if the conflict were avoided.
11
Dependence upon Key Personnel
The Company is dependent upon the efforts and abilities of its management team.
The loss of any member of the management team could have a material adverse effect upon the business and prospects of the Company. In the event of such loss, the Company will seek suitable competent replacements, but there is no assurance that the Company will be able to retain such replacements. The company has obtained a Key Man Life Insurance program for its Chairman and CEO, which would pay net $ 4,500,000 to the Company in the event of his death.
Uncertainty of Resource Estimates
There can be no certainty that any resource estimate by the Company or its consultants would ever be realized in production.
The current resource estimates in respect of the SJG Property are based on limited information, such as historical data, drilling programs, the production activity conducted by the company in 2003 – 2006, and various reports, manual calculations and opinions. No assurance can be given that the anticipated tonnages and grades will be achieved or that the estimated or indicated level of recovery will realized. The grade of mineralization actually recovered or produced could differ significantly from the resource estimates.
Variance in Future Production
Any future production realized from the SJG Property may differ significantly from historical or recent production.
Potential reasons are: mineralization or veins could be significantly different from those realized from historical production, recent production, drilling programs, and other valuations; increases in operating or mining costs could adversely affect resources; the grade of resources may vary significantly from time to time as there can be no assurance that any particular level of value or grade can be recovered; and declines in market prices of commodities.
Environmental and Regulatory Concerns.
The Company operates in an industry where there are significant environmental and regulatory requirements. The inability of the Company to satisfy these requirements could cause the value of its common stock to decline.
The current or future operations of the Company, including acquisition, leasing, and sales activities; involve mineral properties which require permits from various federal, state and local governmental authorities. Such future operations are and will be governed by laws and regulations governing prospecting, development, mining, production, exports, taxes, labor standards, occupational health, waste disposal, toxic substances, land use, environmental protection, mine safety and other matters. Companies engaged in the development and operation of mines and related facilities generally experience increased costs, and delays in production and other schedules as a result of the need to comply with applicable laws, regulations and permits. Additional permits and studies, which may include environmental impact studies conducted before permits can be obtained, are necessary prior to operation of properties in which the Company has interests. Required permits could adversely affect the Company's ability to negotiate agreeable acquisition, lease, or sales terms and therefore adversely affect the price of the Company’s common stock.
Competition.
Competitive conditions affecting the Company could negatively impact our business.
The potential value of the Company’s mining property is directly related to the market price for gold. The price of gold may also have a significant influence on the market price of its common stock. If the Company obtains positive drill results and its property progresses to a point where a commercial production decision can be made, the decision to put a mine in production and to commit funds necessary for that purpose must be made long before any revenue is from production would be received. A decrease in the market price of gold at any time during future exploration and development may prevent the Company’s property from being economically mined or could result in the write-off of assets whose value is impaired as a result of lower gold prices. The price of gold is affected by numerous factors beyond our control, including inflation, fluctuation of the United States dollar and foreign currencies, global and regional demand, the purchase or sale of gold by central banks, and the political and economic conditions of major gold producing countries throughout the world. During the last five years, the market price of gold has fluctuated between approximately $411 and $1,212 per ounce. The volatility of gold prices represents a substantial risk which no amount of planning or technical expertise can fully eliminate. In the event gold prices decline and remain low for prolonged periods of time, we might be unable to develop our property and produce revenue.
12
Potential Conflict with Shareholder (Goldgroup Resources Inc.)
The Management of the Exploration Activity at SJG is shared with Goldgroup, as described in the Earn In / Option Agreement. There exists potential for conflicts over the plan of exploration and execution.
The Earn In / Option Agreement states: (1) a committee (the “Management Committee”) shall oversee the Expenditures and shall be comprised of 3 persons, one designated by DynaUSA (“DynaResource, Inc.”) and two designated by Goldgroup; (2) The Board of DynaMexico shall oversee the keeping of DynaMexico in good standing and proper working order, and the Management Committee shall oversee the Expenditures and matters not related to keeping DynaMexico in good standing and proper working order; (3) All Expenditures shall be expended in accordance with a budget approved by the Management Committee prior to such expenditure; (4) The Management Committee shall be responsible for delivering quarterly reports to the Board of Directors of DynaMexico; and (5) as soon as practicable after execution of this Agreement, DynaUSA shall cause DynaMexico’s board of directors to consist of three directors, two nominated by DynaUSA and one nominated by Goldgroup, unless and until Goldgroup timely completes Phase 4 of the Option, at which time the size of the board of directors shall be increased to five and DynaUSA and Goldgroup shall each appoint two directors and agree on a fifth member to be appointed.
This shared management has inherent risks as the parties may have different short or long-term objectives, goals, or financial position which could cause decisions which may not necessarily be in the best interest of our shareholders. This in turn, could cause the value of the Company’s common stock to be adversely affected.
Financing from Goldgroup Resources, Inc.
Exploration activity at the SJG property is financed pursuant to the Earn-In / Option Agreement with Goldgroup Resources Inc. If Goldgroup fails to properly fund the Earn-In Agreement, or otherwise fails to complete the Earn-In Agreement, the Company would be required to obtain funding from other sources. If the Company raises funds from other sources, it would be dilutive to existing shareholders.
Funding for the exploration activities at the SJG property is provided primarily from Goldgroup to DynaMexico under the Earn In / Option Agreement. There is no certainty that this funding will continue or that the Earn In/Option Agreement will be completed. Should the funding by Goldgroup cease, the Company would have to fund further exploration work through its own cash reserves, or obtain alternative financing. Any alternative funding could result in additional dilution to our current shareholders.
Conflicts between Boards of Directors of the Company, with the Board of Directors of Goldgroup Resources Inc.
Potential for conflict exists between the Board of Directors of Goldgroup Resources Inc., and the Board of Directors of the Company; and between the Board of Directors of Goldgroup with the Boards of Directors of DynaResource de Mexico, Mineras de DynaResource, and DynaResource Operaciones.
While the Company believes it has negotiated and authorized proper agreements for the financing and exploration of SJG, potential conflicts exist between the Board of Directors of Goldgroup with the Board of Directors of DynaResource, Inc., both companies which are shareholders of DynaResource de Mexico. Potential conflicts also exist between the Board of Directors of Goldgroup, with the Board of Directors of the subsidiary companies in Mexico. Goldgroup carries the majority of seats on the SJG Management Committee, which is charged with responsibility of approving the budgets and supplying technical direction to the SJG Project. At the Same time, DynaResource, Inc. carries a majority of the seats on the Board of Directors of DynaResource de Mexico. DynaResource, Inc. also carries 100 % of the Seats on the Boards of Mineras de DynaResource, the contracted operating entity at SJG, and 100 % of the Seats of the Board of DynaResource Operaciones, the personnel management entity at SJG. Mr. K.D. Diepholz, chairman and CEO of DynaResource, Inc. and Mr. Charles E. Smith, CFO of DynaResource, Inc. are the President and Secretary respectively for DynaResource de Mexico, Mineras de DynaResource, and DynaResource Operaciones. Company management believes the current structure of ownership and activity provides the motivation for financing and exploration pursuant to the Earn In option Agreement and provides protection for the 100 % ownership of the SJG Property though DynaResource de Mexico. However, there are risks inherent with the structure which cannot be eliminated. Any conflict could develop between the Boards of Goldgroup and DynaResource, Inc; or between the Boards of Goldgroup and DynaResource de Mexico, Mineras de DynaResource, or DynaResource Operaciones which could result in the cessation of financing or activity pursuant to the Earn In Agreement. Any such conflict would be detrimental to the SJG Property and to the Shareholders of the Company.
13
Historical production of Gold at the San Jose de Gracia Property May Not be Indicative of Future Production or Revenue.
The SJG Property is a high-grade mineralized system with reported historical production of over 1 M. Oz. Gold. The production occurred in the early 1900’s, prior to the Mexican Revolution. Since the time, the property has seen small scale mining operations, from small scale local owners, to the Company’s production in 2003 – 2006. Due to the uncertainties associated with exploration, including variations in geology and structure, there is no assurance that the Company’s efforts will be successful in identifying mineralization in sufficient quantities to define resources or reserves, and further there is no assurance that any such resources or reserves could be developed into a commercial operation. Investors in the Company’s securities should not rely on historical operations as an indication that the SJG property will be developed into a commercial production in the future. The Company expects to incur losses unless and until such time as one or more of its properties enters into commercial production and generates sufficient revenue to fund continuing operations.
50 % of the Company’s Revenue from DynaResource de Mexico May be Owned by Goldgroup Resources Inc.
As of the Date of this Form 10-K, Goldgroup Resources Inc. has completed Phases I, II, and III of the Earn-In / Option Agreement, and as a result has been transferred 25 % of the Shares and ownership of DynaResource de Mexico. Should Goldgroup complete Phase IV of the Earn In / Option Agreement (through the contribution and expenditure of an additional $8 M USD., as at December 31, 2009); Goldgroup would receive an additional 25 % of the shares and ownership of DynaResource de Mexico (Total of 50 %). In such case DynaResource, Inc. and its shareholders will only retain 50 % of the shares and ownership of DynaResource de Mexico. Investors in the Company’s shares should be aware that any benefits to be derived from the ownership of DynaResource de Mexico would be shared 50 % with Goldgroup Resources.

Executive Offices
The Company maintains its executive offices of approximately 2,100 sq. ft., at 222 W. Las Colinas Blvd., Suite 744 East Tower, Irving, Texas 75039, at rates ranging from $3,700 to $3,900 per month, plus utilized services. The Company entered into a 37 month lease commencing September, 2008.
San Jose de Gracia Mineral Property
DynaMexico owns 100 % of the mineral concessions at the San Jose de Gracia Property, located in Sinaloa State, Mexico, which is the only property in which DynaMexico retains an interest. DynaMexico, which is currently owned 75 % by the Company, is comprised of 34 concessions covering approximately 99,500 hectares; with no outstanding royalty or other interests.
The property is located in and around San Jose de Gracia, Sinaloa State, Mexico which is approximately 100 km northeast of Guamuchil, near the west coast of Mexico. A small airstrip is located near San Jose de Gracia, and can be accessed by a small airplane or alternatively, by dirt mountain road. Several roads on the property are accessible throughout the year, with the possible exception of July - September when the rainy season sometimes causes flooding and runoff to make the roads difficult to navigate.

SJG History
SJG reports 1,000,000 Oz. Gold historical production from a series of underground workings. 471,000 Oz. is reported produced at the La Purisima area of SJG, at an average grade of 66.7 g/t.; and 215,000 Oz. is reported produced from the La Prieta area, at an average grade of 27.6 g/t. Mineralization at SJG has been traced on surface and underground over a 15 square kilometer area.
Drilling programs at SJG were conducted by a prior partner in 1997 – 1998, primarily at the Tres Amigos area; which outlined some of the down dip potential in this area. Approximately 6,172 meters drilling was completed in 63 drill holes.
DynaMexico was formed in March 2000, for the purpose of acquiring the concessions comprising the SJG District; and to consolidate all ownership of SJG under DynaMexico. DynaMexico focused on acquisition and consolidation work through 2003, at which time it reports a clear title and ownership to the district.
DynaMexico mined high-grade veins at the San Pablo area of SJG from mid 2003 to June 2006, in a Pilot Production operation. 18,250 Oz Gold was produced and sold, from mined tonnage of 42,500 tons; at an average grade of 20 g/t. Average production costs during the production period were reported as $ 175 / Oz.
Earn In / Option Agreement
On September 1, 2006 the Company signed a “Stock Purchase and Earn In Agreement” (“Earn-In”) between: DynaResource, Inc. (“DynaResource”) and DynaResource de Mexico SA. de CV. (“DynaMexico”), (“Seller”); and Goldgroup Resources, Inc., of Vancouver, British Columbia (“Goldgroup”), (“Buyer”), and Together, (“the Parties”).
The Earn In provides for the sale of up to fifty per cent (50 %) of the total outstanding shares of DynaMexico, which at the time of the agreement was the wholly owned subsidiary of DynaResource, and the owner of the San Jose de Gracia District in northern Sinaloa, Mexico (“SJG”); In exchange for the total cash contributions to DynaMexico, and expenditures related to the exploration and development of the SJG, in the amount of Eighteen Million Dollars USD. ($18,000,000.) by Goldgroup; contributed in four (4) Phases, as set forth below:

Approximately 34,000 Meters drilling has been completed in 2007 – 2009. (Results of the drilling activity, including the results of previous drilling in 1997-’98, is attached in an “SJG Drill Intercepts Summary File”, as Exhibit 99.3 to our Form 10/A filed with the US Securities & Exchange Commission on February 26, 2009; and the file (updated to current) is also reported on the Company’s web site at www.dynaresource.com.)
DynaMexico continues to conduct exploration programs at SJG for the purpose of increasing inferred resources, and defining a larger mineable resource. (See Management’s Discussion and Analysis, Item 7).
SJG Geology Report
The geologic summary of SJG below is taken from a foundational report, written in 2000-01, subsequent to the drilling activity of 1997 – 1998; but prior to the production activity of 2003 - 2006; and prior to the drilling activity of 2007 - 2009. This report provides the basis for the exploration programs currently being conducted.
Regional Geology & Mineral Deposits
San José de Gracia lies within the Sierra Madre Occidental Gold-Silver Belt, in a second-order graben directly east of the regional-scale Grete Graben. The basement to the Sierra Madre Occidental consists of deformed Paleozoic sedimentary strata, which are non-conformably overlain by Tertiary mafic to felsic volcanic and volcaniclastic strata known as the Lower Volcanic Series (“LVS”). Strata of the LVS are recognized as being spatially related to gold and silver mineralization in the region. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are capped by a thick sequence of non-deformed Late Tertiary ignimbrites, known as the Upper Volcanic Series (“UVS”).
The Sierra Madre Occidental Gold-Silver Belt is host to a number of major epithermal precious metal camps, including the San Dimas and Batopilas Districts. The San Dimas District, located some 220 kilometers southeast of San José de Gracia, has produced in excess of 9.65 million ounces of gold and 400 million ounces of silver from high-grade, structurally hosted veins, including those at the Tayoltita Mine. In contrast, the Batopilas district, located some 100 kilometers east of San José de Gracia, has historic production of more than 5.4 million ounces of silver from high-grade veins.
Property Geology
The oldest rocks exposed at San José de Gracia are deformed Paleozoic shale, sandstone, conglomerate and minor limestone, which are non-conformably overlain by andesite and rhyodacite flows and tuffs of the LVS. Volcanic and sedimentary strata are cut by quartz-feldspar porphyry, porphyritic diorite bodies and fine-grained mafic dykes, which may be cotemporal with the LVS. Ignimbrites of the UVS are exposed at higher elevations on the property and are thought to act as a post mineralization cap rock, thereby indicating an Early to Mid Tertiary (Paleocene to Eocene) age for gold mineralization at San José de Gracia.
Geologic Structure
Detailed mapping within the project area has defined several stages of deformation, beginning with compression during the Laramide Orogeny which affected the Paleozoic basement and formed flat-lying reverse faults, which have been reactivated as conduits for gold-bearing fluids in the La Prieta trend (Table 2). Extension in Tertiary time lead to the development of second order south, southwest and southeast trending structures, which formed the major structural orientations for mineralization at San José de Gracia. The latest phase of deformation is characterized by late-stage extension and southwest tilting.
16
Mineralization & Alteration
High grade gold mineralization at San José de Gracia is hosted within andesite and rhyodacite of the LVS and underlying Paleozoic sediments as fault breccia veins and crackle breccias that exhibit multiple stages of reactivation and fluid flow, as evidenced by crustiform/colloform textures and cross cutting veins. Locally, veins exhibit sharp, clay gouge hangingwall and footwall contacts with slickensides, indicating reactivation of structurally-hosted veins subsequent to mineralization. Gold grades can also be carried within the mineralized halo adjacent to the principal veins as quartz-chlorite stockwork. In addition to vein-hosted mineralization, broad zones of un-mineralized clay alteration, developed southwest of the main mineralized trends, may overlie lower-grade, disseminated gold mineralization at depth.
Alteration at San José de Gracia is laterally and vertically zoned from discrete zones of silicification to broad zones of illite to clay alteration with increasing elevation and/or distance from the main feeder structures. Faulting and tilting of the mineralization system has affected the surface distribution of alteration and in general has exposed deeper portions of the system in the northeast and exposed shallower, more distal portions of the hydrothermal system in the southwest part of the property.
Six principal mineralized trends have been identified at San José de Gracia, from south to north these consist of the:
|
1.
|
La Purisima Ridge trend;
|
|
2.
|
Palos Chinos trend;
|
|

Lab
A field laboratory is maintained within the camp facility. The Company utilized the lab for Assaying services during its production activities. Assays were performed by company personnel for mined ore, feed ore, gravity and flotation concentrates, and tailings. The current status of the lab and equipment is care and maintenance. The Company anticipates utilizing the lab facility in the future for providing quick check assays to support the exploration works.

Company Management believes the recent drilling at La Union in 2007-9, has defined a sizeable Inferred Resource at La Union, which is expected to be further defined into a mineable resource. Infill drilling and further extensions to La Union are projected for 2010. A 43-101 compliant Technical Report is planned in 2010.

These drilling Results obtained through Phases 1, 2, 3, and continuing in Phase 4 confirm extensions of mineralization, down dip of historical workings at SJG, with confirmation of high grade gold (as measured in grams per ton) which are consistent with historical and recent production. Specifically, San Pablo, La Purisima, Tres Amigos, La Cecena, and La Union areas have reported significant results. (See description of drilling highlights by target area above). The Company believes that sizeable inferred resources have been defined at San Pablo, Tres Amigos, La Union and La Purisima. Further Phase 4 drilling will be targeted at Tres Amigos, La Prieta, La Union, La Purisima, and San Pablo. In 2010, the Company expects to commission a 43-101 compliant report of the Resources defined at SJG.
Current Activity and Future Plans
The Company expects to continue drilling activity as above, and as funded pursuant to the Earn In Agreement. Further drilling in expected to continue to increase and define inferred Gold resources.
Concessions Area of District
In addition to the drilling and exploration activity, three additional Mining Concessions have been acquired. Titles to these Concessions have been received, and the acquisitions extend the SJG District by approximately 95,000 hectares (to a total of + 99,500 hectares).
Employees and Consultants
The Company maintains approximately 28 employees. Three employees are corporate officers and work in the corporate office in the United States. Other employees are maintained through DynaOperaciones in Mexico. The company also retains legal counsel in the US, legal counsel in Mexico, and it retains as consultants a senior geologist and junior geologist in Mexico.
Fourth Quarter
In the fourth quarter 2009, drill holes # 127 – 147 were drilled for a total of 4,000 meters. In the year ended December 31, 2009, approximately $ 282,976. was expended on core drilling expenses (Driller only) compared with approximately $ 2,650,000 in the year ended December 31, 2008.
Revenues and Expenses:
The Company conducted a mining and milling operation from March 2003 through June, 2006. This activity was suspended in order to focus efforts on the exploration of the vast SJG District. The Company reported no revenue in 2009, 2008 and 2007. The Company does not expect any revenues from mining and production in 2010. The Company earned minimal revenue during 2009 for exploration services performed for a related party.
The Company’s production and exploration costs were $1,577,996 and $4,490,898 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. The decrease in expenses in 2009 was a result of the decreased drilling exploration work financed by the Earn-In / Option Agreement as a good portion of the year was spent performing IP and structural analysis and commissioning report related to those.
28
The Company's operating expenses included two categories, a) depreciation and amortization, and b) general and administrative expenses. The general and administrative expense was $1,743,717 for the year ended December 31, 2009 compared to $1,685,998 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Included in these amounts was depreciation and amortization of $141,571 and $161,006 in 2009 and 2008 respectively and common stock issued for services of $146,250 and $430,101 in 2009 and 2008 respectively.
Other income and expenses included interest income for the year ended December 31, 2009 of $7,892 compared with $ 3,066 for the year ended December 31, 2008. Additionally, we had other income of $0 in 2009 compared to $2,104 in 2008.
Noncontrolling Interest
Under the terms of the Earn In Agreement, Goldgroup Resources, Inc. (Goldgroup), throughout 2009, had earned and owned a 25% interest in DynaResource de Mexico, S.A. de C.V. (DynaMexico), the applicable portion of the earnings or loss attributable to Goldgroup is offset in this section. In the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 the portion of the loss attributable to Goldgroup was $454,990 and $934,734 respectively.
Currency Translation Income / Loss
The currency translation gain / (loss) was $341,500 and $(1,825,230) in the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively. This charge is caused by the fluctuation of the exchange rate between the United States dollar and the Mexican peso. It was significant in the year 2008 since the Mexican peso lost a lot of value against the dollar in 2008 and regained some of that back in 2009.
The Company’s comprehensive loss before noncontrolling interest for the year ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was ($2,476,177) and ($7,062,222) respectively. The decrease in the loss is attributed to the decrease in exploration activities and costs.
Plan of Operation
The Plan of operation for the next twelve months includes the continuation of the drilling and exploration programs at San Jose de Gracia. Under the Earn In agreement, Phase 4 exploration activities continue, with a Budget of approximately $ 8 M. USD to be expended over the next 15 months. Financing from the Earn In Agreement provides for 100% of the current exploration and related costs at SJG. The Company is required to fund its general and administrative expenses in the US.
The Company does not currently generate revenue. Its only sources of capital are (1) exploration and related funds provided by Goldgroup to DynaMexico under the Earn In Agreement; (2) cash on hand; and (3) any funds available through financings. The Company believes that cash on hand is adequate to fund our ongoing general and administrative expenses through 2010. The funds contributed by Goldgroup to DynaMexico are expected to finance the exploration activities at SJG through 2010. The Company may seek additional capital funding during 2010 or beyond depending on market conditions, results of drilling activities, plans for production or continuing exploration activities, and other circumstances.
Capital Expenditures
The Company’s primary activities relate to the exploration of SJG property. 100% of the exploration and related costs are provided by Goldgroup Resources, Inc. to DynaMexico pursuant to the Earn-In / Option Agreement. Exploration drilling continues at SJG in order to further define mineralization and ore bodies and resources. Drilling services are contracted by MinerasDyna, the operating entity, to drilling contractors. The Company does not foresee significant capital purchases in 2010. Any capital purchases necessary for the exploration activity are the responsibility of DynaMexico, with costs accounted to the segregated exploration account and financed by Goldgroup. Miscellaneous costs could be paid from funds on hand of DynaMexico, MinerasDyna, DynaOperaciones, or DynaResource, Inc.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2009, the Company maintained working capital of $1,944,711, comprised of current assets of $2,028,614 and current liabilities of $83,903. This represents a decrease of $644,034 from the working capital maintained by the Company of $2,588,745 at December 31, 2008.
Net cash used in operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 decreased to $3,040,822 from $5,610,756 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The decrease was due to the decrease in expenses for exploration, which includes drilling and all support services.
Cash used for purchase of fixed assets was $69,192 and $130,170 for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 respectively.
Cash provided financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2009 was $2,559,257 compared to $7,845,052 for the year ended December 31, 2008. The main category changes include Goldgroup deposits under the Earn In / Option Agreement of $1,699,981 and $4,800,000 for 2009 and 2008 respectively and comprehensive income of $(169,256) and $1,533,082 for 2009 and 2008 respectively.
Sampling Process
The geological data contained in this report was verified by an appropriate quality control person using industry standard quality controls and quality assurance protocols utilized in exploration activities. Standard reference samples and various duplicates are inserted in each batch of assays. Drill core samples are cut by saw on site and samples splits are prepared for shipment, sealed and then shipped for assaying. Samples are sent to a certified assayer (International Plasma Laboratory, Vancouver, BC.) and analyzed for gold by fire assay and for silver and 34 other trace and major elements in accordance with standard industry practices.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure on Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of December 31, 2009. This evaluation was accomplished under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer / principal executive officer, and chief financial officer / principal financial officer who concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that all material information required to be filed in the annual report on Form 10-K has been made known to them.
For purposes of this section, the term disclosure controls and procedures means controls and other procedures of an issuer that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Act (15 U.S.C. 78a et seg.) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure, controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act") is accumulated and communicated to the issuer's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Based upon an evaluation conducted for the period ended December 31, 2009, our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer as of December 31, 2009 and as of the date of this Report, has concluded that as of the end of the periods covered by this report, we have identified no material weakness in our internal control.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate due to change in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
31
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework at December 31, 2009. Based on its evaluation, our management concluded that, as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial reporting was effective and contained no material weaknesses. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the Company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company’s registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to the attestation by the Company’s registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit the Company to provide only management’s report in this annual report.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
We have not yet made any changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report on Form 10-K that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9A(T). Controls and Procedures

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Management of
DynaResource, Inc.
Irving, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DynaResource, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period since reentering the Exploration Stage (January 1, 2007) through December 31, 2009. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We were not engaged to examine management’s assertion about the effectiveness of DynaResource, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DynaResource, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the period since reentering the Exploration Stage (January 1, 2007) through December 31, 2009 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(An Exploration Stage Company)
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2009 and 2008
NOTE 1 – NATURE OF ACTIVITIES AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Nature of Activities, History and Organization:
DynaResource, Inc. (The “Company” or “DynaResource”) was organized September 28, 1937, as a California corporation under the name of West Coast Mines, Inc. In 1998, the Company re-domiciled to Delaware and changed its name to DynaResource, Inc. The Company is in the business of acquiring, investing in, and developing precious metal properties, and the production of precious metals.
In 2000, the Company formed a wholly owned subsidiary, DynaResource de Mexico S.A. de C.V. chartered in Mexico (“DynaMexico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in Mexico. In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”) and acquired effective control of Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre, S.A. de C.V.) (“MinerasDyna”). The Company owns 25% of Mineras and acquired effective control of Mineras by acquiring the option to purchase the remaining 75% of the Shares of Mineras for seventy five pesos (approximately $5.50 in United States dollars as of December 31, 2008). The Agreement also provides that the other shareholders relinquish and forfeit any and all rights, interests and claims in and to the Company and in or to any of the rights or assets owned or controlled by the Company. The Option was scheduled to expire on January 6, 2010. The results of MinerasDyna are consolidated with those of the Company. The Company approved the exercise of its option in March 2009, finalized the exercise and acquisition in January 2010, and now owns 100% of MinerasDyna.
In January 2008, the Company transferred 15% of the ownership of DynaMexico to Goldgroup Resources Inc. (“Goldgroup”), in exchange for $3,000,000 cash contribution and exploration expenditures at the San Jose de Gracia property (“SJG”), and in August 2008, the Company transferred an additional 10% of the ownership of DynaMexico to Goldgroup in exchange for an additional $3,000,000 cash and exploration expenditures (See Note 5 below). Through December 31, 2009, Goldgroup has contributed $9,867,990 to DynaMexico, and it currently owns 25% of DynaMexico.
The Company produced approximately $8,244,442 in revenues from production activities during the years ended December 31, 2003 through 2006, and suspended this activity voluntarily to concentrate its efforts on exploration and development. In accordance with that decision, as of January 1, 2007, the Company reentered the Exploration Stage and has presented its cumulative results since reentering the Exploration Stage, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 915 “Development Stage Entities” (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (“SFAS”) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises” (“SFAS No. 7”)), and will continue this presentation until it again has revenues from operations.
45
Significant Accounting Policies:
The Company’s management selects accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and adopts methods for their application. The application of accounting principles requires the estimating, matching and timing of revenue and expense.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management further acknowledges that it is solely responsible for adopting sound accounting practices, establishing and maintaining a system of internal accounting control and preventing and detecting fraud. The Company's system of internal accounting control is designed to assure, among other items, that 1) recorded transactions are valid; 2) valid transactions are recorded; and 3) transactions are recorded in the proper period in a timely manner to produce financial statements which present fairly the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods being presented.
FASB Accounting Standards Codification:
In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new guidance concerning the organization of authoritative guidance under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). This new guidance created the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“the Codification” or “ASC”). The Codification has become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the SEC under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative U.S. GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification became effective for the Company in its quarter ended September 30, 2009. As the Codification is not intended to change or alter existing U.S. GAAP, it did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. On its effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative.
Basis of Presentation:
The Company prepares its financials statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Principles of Consolidation:
The financial statements include the accounts of DynaResource, Inc. as well as DynaResource de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., DynaResource Operaciones S.A. de C.V. and Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
46
Reclassification
Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation.
Foreign Currency Translation:
The subsidiary’s functional currency is the Mexican peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiary have been re-measured from Mexican pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) current exchange rates for monetary asset and liability accounts, (ii) historical exchange rates for nonmonetary asset and liability accounts, (iii) historical exchange rates for revenues and expenses associated with nonmonetary assets and liabilities and (iv) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all other revenues and expenses. In addition, foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from U.S. dollar denominated transactions are eliminated. The resulting re-measured gain or loss is reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity (comprehensive income (loss)).
The financial statements of the subsidiary should not be construed as representations that Mexican pesos have been, could have been or may in the future be converted into U.S. dollars at such rates or any other rates.
Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for the subsidiary are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 (Mexican pesos per one U.S. dollar):

Cash and Cash Equivalents:
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. The carrying amount approximates fair market value.
Foreign Tax Receivable:
Foreign Tax Receivable (IVA) is comprised of recoverable value-added taxes charged by the Mexican government on goods and services rendered. Under certain circumstances, these taxes are recoverable by filing a tax return. Amounts paid for IVA are tracked and held as receivables until the funds are remitted. The total amount of the IVA receivable as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are $120,210 and $163,289, respectively.
Inventory:
As the Company ceased mining production in 2006, there is no inventory as of December 31, 2009 and 2008.
Fixed Assets:
Fixed assets are carried at cost. Depreciation is provided over each asset’s estimated useful life. Upon retirement and disposal, the asset cost and related accumulated deprecation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is included in the determination of the net income. Expenditures for geological and engineering studies, maintenance and claim renewals are charged to expense when incurred. Additions and significant improvements are capitalized and depreciated.
Mining Properties:
The Company is an ‘Exploration Stage’ company as defined in “SEC Industry Guide 7”. Mining properties consist of 34 concessions at the San Jose de Gracia property, the basis of which are deferred until the properties are brought into production, at which time they will be amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated recoverable reserves. The Company has elected to expense a minimal amount of amortization due to the effects of exploration activities on the recoverable reserves. If it is determined that the deferred costs related to a property are not recoverable over its productive life, those costs will be written down to fair value as a charge to operations in the period in which the determination is made. The amounts at which mineral properties and the related deferred costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values.
The recoverability of the book value of each property will be assessed annually for indicators of impairment such as adverse changes to any of the following:
·
|
estimated recoverable ounces of gold, silver or other precious minerals;
|
·
|
estimated future commodity prices;
|
·
|
estimated expected future operating costs, capital expenditures and reclamation expenditures.
|
48
A write-down to fair value will be recorded when the expected future cash flow is less than the net book value of the property or when events or changes in the property indicate that carrying amounts are not recoverable. This analysis will be completed as needed, and at least annually. As of the date of this filing no events have occurred that would require write-down of any assets. As of December 31, 2009, no indications of impairment existed.
Exploration Costs:
Exploration costs not directly associated with proven reserves on the mining concessions are charged to operations as incurred.
Advertising Costs:
The Company incurred $0 and $0 advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Income Taxes:
Income from the corporation is taxed at regular corporate rates per the Internal Revenue Code. Although the Company has tax loss carr-forwards (see Note 15), there is uncertainty as to utilization prior to their expiration. Accordingly, the future income tax asset amounts have been fully offset by a vluation allowance.
Comprehensive Income:
ASC 220 “Comprehensive Income”, (formerly SFAS No. 130 “Reporting Comprehensive Income”), establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive income and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. The Company’s comprehensive income consists of net income and other comprehensive income (loss), consisting of unrealized net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s only component of comprehensive income was foreign currency translation adjustments.
Revenue Recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with ASC 605-10, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements", (formerly Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104 (“SAB 104”). Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery or service has occurred, the sale price is fixed or determinable and receipt of payment is probable.
Revenues earned from the sale of precious metal concentrates are recognized as the title to the material is passed to the buyer upon delivery.
49
Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:
Earnings (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “Earnings per Share” (formerly SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share”). The weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period is used to compute basic earnings (loss) per share. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Dilutive potential common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of stock options and are excluded from the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive.
There were no potentially dilutive common stock equivalents as of December 31, 2009, therefore basic earnings per share equals diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2009. As discussed in Note 8, the Company had 630,092 stock options outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive effect on basic earnings per share in the future.
As the Company incurred a net loss during the year ended December 31, 2008, the basic and diluted loss per common share is the same amount. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had 1,809,432 stock options outstanding that could potentially have a dilutive effect on basic earnings per share in the future, including 1,724,583 shares that would have been considered dilutive if the Company had not incurred a net loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
The Company does not expect the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements to have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flow. See Note 11 for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Use of Estimates:
In order to prepare financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, management must make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and determines whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the financial statements. The ultimate resolution of issues requiring these estimates and assumptions could differ significantly from resolution currently anticipated by management and on which the financial statements are based.

NOTE 4 – NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM AFFILIATE
During 2009, the Company invested $ 500,000 in DynaResource Nevada, Inc., a Nevada Corporation, with one operating subsidiary in Mexico, DynaNevada de Mexico, SA de CV. The terms of the investment provide for a “Convertible Loan”, repayable at 5 % interest over a 3 year period, and convertible at the Company’s option into Common Stock of DynaResource Nevada, Inc. at $ .50 / Share. DynaResource Nevada, Inc. is a related entity, and through its subsidiary in Mexico, has entered into an Option agreement with Grupo Mexico (IMMSA) in Mexico, for the exploration and development of approximately 3,000 hectares in the State of San Luis Potosi.
In March 2010, the Option agreement with Grupo Mexico was completed.
NOTE 5 – INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “Income Taxes”, (formerly SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes”), which requires the use of the liability method in the computation of income tax expense and the current and deferred income taxes payable (deferred tax liability) or benefit (deferred tax asset). Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
The cumulative tax effect at the expected tax rate of 34% (blended for U.S. and Mexico) of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax amounts as of December 31, 2009 and 2008 are as follows:
Deferred Tax Asset Related to:

The net deferred tax asset generated by the loss carryforward has been fully reserved. The net deferred tax asset and benefit for the current year is generated primarily from the cumulative net operating loss carry-forward which is approximately $18,853,957 at December 31, 2009, and will expire in the years 2025 through 2028.
The realization of deferred tax benefits is contingent upon future earnings and is fully reserved at December 31, 2009.

NOTE 11 – RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS
In 2009, the FASB issued the following guidance:
SFAS No. 166: "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140", which was codified into ASC 860, which be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010.
SFAS No. 167: "Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets", which was codified into ASC 810-10, which will be effective for the Company as of January 1, 2010.
FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1: “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, which was codified into ASC 825.
FSP No. FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2: “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments”, which was codified into ASC 320-10-65-4.
FSP No. FAS 157-4: “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly”, which was codified into ASC 820-10-65-4.
Management has reviewed these new standards and believes they had or will have no material impact on the financial statements of the Company.
NOTE 12 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
|
In September 2006, the guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure was updated to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. The provisions of the updated guidance were adopted January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB staff issued an update to the guidance which delayed the effective date for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis. The Company adopted the updated guidance for the Company’s nonfinancial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on January 1, 2009. The adoption of updated guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In October 2008, the guidance was further updated to provide guidance on how the fair value of a financial asset is to be determined when the market for that financial asset is inactive. The guidance states that determining fair value in an inactive market depends on the facts and circumstances, requires the use of significant judgment and, in some cases, observable inputs may require significant adjustment based on unobservable data. Regardless of the valuation technique used, an entity must include appropriate risk adjustments that market participants would make for nonperformance and liquidity risks when determining fair value of an asset in an inactive market. The guidance was effective upon issuance. The Company has incorporated the principles of updated guidance in determining the fair value of financial assets when the market for those assets is not active.
57
In April 2009, the guidance was further updated to provide additional guidance on determining fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased and identifying circumstances that indicate when a transaction is not orderly. The provisions of this updated guidance were adopted April 1, 2009. The adoption of the guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s fair value measurements.
The ASC guidance for fair value measurements and disclosure establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:
Level 1 Inputs – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 Inputs – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
Level 3 Inputs – Instruments with primarily unobservable value drivers.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, with the exception of cash.
NOTE 13 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855-10 “Subsequent Events”, (formerly SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events,”) which establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The pronouncement requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and the basis for that date, whether that date represents the date the financial statements were issued or were available to be issued.
