DYNARESOURCE, INC.
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2023
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 México S.A. de C.V., chartered in México (“DynaMéxico”). This Company was formed to acquire, invest in and develop resource properties in México. DynaMéxico owns a portfolio of mining concessions that currently includes its interests in the San José de Gracia Project (“SJG”) in northern Sinaloa State, México. The SJG District covers 9,920 hectares (24,513 acres) on the west side of the Sierra Madre Mountain range. The Company currently owns 100% of the outstanding capital of DynaMéxico.
In 2005, the Company formed DynaResource Operaciones de San José De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”) and acquired control of Mineras de DynaResource, S.A. de C.V. (formerly Minera Finesterre S.A. de C.V., “DynaMineras”). The Company owns 100% of DynaMineras.
The Company elected to become a voluntary reporting issuer in Canada in order to avail itself of Canadian regulations regarding reporting for mining properties and, more specifically, National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”). This regulation sets forth standards for reporting resources in a mineral property and is a reporting standard widely recognized in the mining industry.
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 revenues and expenses. The accounting policies used conform to generally accepted accounting principles which have been consistently applied in the preparation of these financial statements.
The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. Management 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 presented.
Basis of Presentation
The Company prepares its unaudited consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Correction of an Error
The derivative liability in the Company’s December 31, 2022 balance sheet presented herein has been corrected to $2,172,417 from $2,334,377 from the Company’s Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2023. The error was a typographical error made in that single line item and it did not impact any other financial statement balances including total liabilities, net income, earnings per share, or management compensation.

Use of Estimates
In order to prepare unaudited consolidated 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 unaudited consolidated financial statements and determines whether contingent assets and liabilities, if any, are disclosed in the unaudited consolidated 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.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of DynaResource, Inc., as well as DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership), DynaResource Operaciones S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership) and Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (100% ownership). All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At times, cash balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has $14,388,760 in deposits in U.S. banks in excess of the FDIC limit. The Company reduces this risk by maintaining such deposits at high quality financial institutions that management believes are creditworthy.
Accounts Receivable and Allowances for Doubtful Accounts
The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon its customers’ financial condition and payment history, and its historical collection experience and expected collectability. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no allowance has been deemed necessary.
Foreign Tax Receivable
Foreign Tax Receivable is comprised of recoverable value-added taxes (“IVA”) 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.
Inventory
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value and consist of mined tonnage, gravity and flotation concentrates, and gravity tailings or flotation feed material.
Exploration Stage Issuer (No Reserves Disclosed)
The definitions of Measured Mineral Resource, Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource are set forth in SEC Regulation S-K, Item 1300 (“Reg. S-K, Item 1300”).
Measured mineral resource is that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated on the basis of conclusive geological evidence and sampling. The level of geological certainty associated with a measured mineral resource is sufficient to allow a qualified person to apply modifying factors in sufficient detail to support detailed mine planning and final evaluation of the economic viability of the deposit. Because a measured mineral resource has a higher level of confidence than the level of confidence of either an indicated mineral resource or an inferred mineral resource, a measured mineral resource may be converted to a proven mineral reserve or to a probable mineral reserve.
8 |
Table of Contents |
Mineral reserve is an estimate of tonnage and grade or quality of indicated and measured mineral resources that, in the opinion of the qualified person, can be the basis of an economically viable project. More specifically, it is the economically mineable part of a measured or indicated mineral resource, which includes diluting materials and allowances for losses that may occur when the material is mined or extracted.
Mineral resource is a concentration or occurrence of material of economic interest in or on the Earth’s crust in such form, grade or quality, and quantity that there are reasonable prospects for economic extraction. A mineral resource is a reasonable estimate of mineralization, taking into account relevant factors such as cut-off grade, likely mining dimensions, location or continuity, that, with the assumed and justifiable technical and economic conditions, is likely to, in whole or in part, become economically extractable. It is not merely an inventory of all mineralization drilled or sampled.
As of June 30, 2023, the Company meets the definition of an exploration stage issuer which is defined as an issuer that has no material property with established proven and probable mineral reserves as defined by Regulation S-K, Item 1300.
Property, Plant & Equipment
Substantially all property, plant and equipment at the Company’s mines, including design, engineering, mine construction, and installation of equipment are expensed as incurred, as the Company has not established proven and probable reserves on any of its properties. Only certain types of mining equipment which have alternative uses or significant salvage value, may be capitalized without proven and probable reserves.
Office furniture and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line method over estimated economic lives ranging from 3 to 5 years. Leasehold improvements, which relate to the Company’s corporate office, are being amortized over the term of the lease of 10 years. As of June 30, 2023, all property, plant and equipment are fully depreciated or amortized.
Design, Construction, and Development Costs: Mine development costs include engineering and metallurgical studies, drilling and other related costs to delineate an ore body, the removal of overburden to initially expose an ore body at open pit surface mines, and the building of access ways, shafts, lateral access, drifts, ramps and other infrastructure at underground mines.
When proven and probable reserves (as defined by Reg. S-K, Item 1300) exist, development costs are capitalized. Mine development costs incurred either to develop new ore deposits, expand the capacity of operating mines, or to develop mine areas substantially in advance of current production would also be capitalized. Costs of start-up activities and costs incurred to maintain current production or to maintain assets on a standby basis are charged to operations as incurred. Costs of abandoned projects are charged to operations upon abandonment. All capitalized costs would be amortized using the units of production method over the estimated life of the ore body based on recoverable ounces to be mined from proven and probable reserves.
Certain costs to design and construct mining and processing facilities may be incurred prior to establishing proven and probable reserves. As no proven and probable reserves have been established on any of the Company’s properties, the design, construction and development costs are not capitalized at any of the Company’s properties, and accordingly, substantially all such costs are expensed as incurred, resulting in the Company reporting higher operating costs than if such expenditures had been capitalized. Additionally, the Company does not have a corresponding depreciation or amortization of these costs going forward since such costs were expensed as incurred as opposed to being capitalized. As a result of these and other differences, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to the financial statements of mining companies that have established reserves.
Mineral Property Interests
Mineral property interests include acquired interests in development and exploration stage properties and are considered tangible assets. The amount capitalized relating to a mineral property interest represents its fair value at the time of acquisition. Mining properties consist of 33 mining concessions covering approximately 9,920 hectares at the San José de Gracia property. 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 costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values.

Impairment of Assets: The Company reviews and evaluates its long-lived assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the related carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Mineral properties are monitored for impairment based on factors such as mineral prices, government regulation and taxation, the Company’s continued right to explore the area, exploration reports, assays, technical reports, drill results and its continued plans to fund exploration programs on the property.
For operating mines, recoverability is measured by comparing the undiscounted future net cash flows to the net book value. When the net book value exceeds future net undiscounted cash flows, an impairment loss is measured and recorded based on the excess of the net book value over fair value. Fair value for operating mines is determined using a combined approach, which uses a discounted cash flow model for the existing operations and a market approach for the fair value assessment of exploration land claims. Future cash flows are estimated based on quantities of recoverable mineralized material, expected gold and silver prices (considering current and historical prices, trends and related factors), production levels, operating costs, capital requirements and reclamation costs, all based on life-of-mine plans. The term “recoverable mineralized material” refers to the estimated amount of gold or other commodities that will be obtained after considering losses during processing and treatment of mineralized material. In estimating future cash flows, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of future cash flows from other asset groups. The Company’s estimates of future cash flows are based on numerous assumptions, and it is possible that actual future cash flows will be significantly different than the estimates, as actual future quantities of recoverable minerals, gold, and silver, commodity prices, production levels and costs and capital are each subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
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. |
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. As of the date of this filing, no events have occurred that would require the write-down of any assets. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, no indications of impairment existed.
Asset Retirement Obligation
As the Company is not obligated to remediate the mining properties, no Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) has been established. Changes in regulations or laws, any instances of non-compliance with laws or regulations that result in fines, or any unforeseen environmental contamination could result in a material impact to the amounts charged to operations for reclamation and remediation. Significant judgments and estimates are made when estimating the fair value of AROs. Expected cash flows relating to AROs could occur over long periods of time and the assessment of the extent of environmental remediation work is highly subjective. Considering all of these factors that go into the determination of an ARO, the fair value of the AROs can materially change over time.
Property Holding Costs
Holding costs to maintain a property on a care and maintenance basis are expensed in the period they are incurred. These costs include security and maintenance expenses, lease and claim fees and payments, and environmental monitoring and reporting costs.

Exploration Costs
Exploration costs, including exploration, development, direct field costs and related administrative costs are expensed in the period incurred.
Leases
Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, which requires recognition of a right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures regarding the Company’s leasing arrangements are also required. The Company adopted ASC 842 prospectively and elected the package of transition practical expedients that does not require reassessment of (1) whether any existing or expired contracts are or contain leases, (2) lease classification and (3) initial direct costs. In addition, the Company has elected other available practical expedients to not separate lease and non-lease components, which consist principally of common area maintenance charges, for all classes of underlying assets and to exclude leases with an initial term of 12 months or less.
Transactions in and Translations of Foreign Currency
The functional currency for the subsidiaries of the Company is the Mexican Peso. As a result, the financial statements of the subsidiaries have been translated from Mexican Pesos into U.S. dollars using (i) year-end exchange rates for balance sheet accounts, and (ii) the weighted average exchange rate of the reporting period for all income statement accounts. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are reported as a separate component of stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income (loss).
The unaudited financial statements of the subsidiaries 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 unaudited financial statements for the subsidiaries are as follows for the periods ended June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022 (Mexican Pesos per one U.S. dollar):
|
| June 30, 2023 |

|
The Company recorded currency transaction gains of $34,227 and $37,790 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740 “Income Taxes” using the liability method, recognizing certain temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of liabilities and assets and the related income tax basis for such liabilities and assets. This method generates either a net deferred income tax liability or asset for the Company, as measured by the statutory tax rates in effect. The Company derives the deferred income tax charge or benefit by recording the change in either the net deferred income tax liability or asset balance for the year. The Company records a valuation allowance against any portion of those deferred income tax assets when it believes, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.
Income from the Company’s subsidiaries in México is taxed in accordance with applicable Mexican tax law and enacted rates.

Table of Contents |
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220 “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 (loss) consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss), consisting of unrealized net gains and losses on the translation of the assets and liabilities of its foreign operations.
Revenue Recognition
The Company follows ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”. The Company generates revenue by selling gold and silver concentrate material produced from its mining operations. The Company recognizes revenue for gold and silver concentrate production, net of treatment and refining costs, when it satisfies the performance obligation of transferring control of the concentrate to the customer. This is generally when the material is delivered to the customer facility for treatment and processing, as the customer has the ability (upon such delivery) to direct the use of and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from the material and the customer has the risk of loss.
The amount of revenue recognized is initially recorded on a provisional basis based on the contract price and the estimated metal quantities based on assay data. The revenue is adjusted upon final settlement of the sale. The chief risk associated with the recognition of sales on a provisional basis is the fluctuation (if any) between the estimated quantities of precious metals base on the initial assay and the actual recovery from treatment and processing.
As of June 30, 2023, there are $10,000,000 in customer deposit liabilities for payments received in advance, all of which are expected to be settled, by the delivery of product, in the third quarter of 2023.
During the six months ended June 30, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022, there was $9,350,000 and $9,250,000, respectively of revenue recognized during the period from customer deposit liabilities (deferred contract revenue) from prior periods, and no customer deposits were refunded to the customer due to order cancellation.
Shipping and handling costs are considered fulfillment costs after the customer obtains control of the goods.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, receivables, payables and long-term debt. Cash, receivables and payables approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no long-term assets or liabilities, measured at their estimated fair value.
Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Earnings (loss) per share, attributable to the common equity holders of DynaResource, are calculated in accordance with ASC 260 “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 (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding. Potentially dilutive common shares are additional common shares assumed to be exercised. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of stock warrants and convertible preferred shares and are excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred a net loss attributable to the common equity holders or where the average stock price was below the exercise price of the respective potentially dilutive common share, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company had 3,518,540 of potentially dilutive common shares that have been excluded from diluted earnings per share, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss for the quarter attributable to the common equity holders.

Related Party Transactions
ASC 850, “Related Party Disclosures” requires companies to include in their financial statements, disclosures of material related party transactions. The Company discloses all material related party transactions. A party is considered to be related to the Company if the party directly or indirectly or through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. A party is also a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.
NOTE 2 - INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost or fair value and consist of mined tonnage, gravity-flotation concentrates, and gravity tailings (or flotation feed material). Inventory balances of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

NOTE 3 – PROPERTY, PLANT & EQUIPMENT
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, all the Company’s property, plant and equipment have been fully depreciated, amortized or expensed, as discussed in “Property, Plant and Equipment” in Note 1 above.
NOTE 4 - MINING CONCESSIONS
Mining properties consist of the San José de Gracia concessions. Mining Concessions were $4,132,678 as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. There was no depletion expense during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, as the Company is an exploration stage issuer (See Note 1).
NOTE 5- INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted ASC 740-10, “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.
Our income tax expense and effective income tax rate are significantly impacted by the mix of our domestic and foreign earnings before income taxes. The Mexican applicable statutory rate is 30% which is higher than the U.S. federal and state combined statutory rate of approximately 21%. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the increase in the effective benefit rate is primarily due to the beneficial impact of mark to market discrete items booked in the quarter when compared to the net loss before income taxes of $1,771,951.
NOTE 6 - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
The total number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the corporation has the authority to issue is 60,001,000 shares, consisting of (i) 20,001,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Preferred Stock”), of which 1,000 shares are designated as Series A Preferred Stock, 1,734,992 are designated as Series C Preferred Stock, and 3,000,000 shares are designated as Series D Preferred Stock and (ii) 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”). As of June 30, 2023, 15,265,008 shares of Preferred Stock remain undesignated.

Table of Contents |
Series A Preferred Stock
The Company has designated 1,000 shares of its Preferred Stock as Series A, having a par value of $0.0001 per share. Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock have the right to elect a majority of the Board of Directors of the Company. As of December 31, 2022, there were 1,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. On April 19, 2023, the Company repurchased the Series A Preferred Stock from the CEO (see Note 13 – Related Party Transactions). The Series A Preferred shares were subsequently cancelled. As of June 30, 2023, there were no shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding.
Series C Senior Convertible Preferred Stock
As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 there were 1,734,992 Series C Preferred shares outstanding. As of June 30, 2023, these Series C Preferred Shares are convertible to common shares at $2.04 per share or redeemable in cash at the shareholder’s option and include anti-dilution protection. The Series C Preferred Shares may receive a 4% per annum dividend, payable if available, and in arrears. The dividend is calculated at 4.0% of $4,337,480 payable annually on June 30th. As of June 30, 2023, dividends for the years 2016 to 2023 totaling $1,227,276 were in arrears.
Due to the nature of the Series C Preferred Shares as mandatorily redeemable, the Series C Preferred Shares are classified as “temporary equity” on the balance sheet.
Series D Senior Convertible Preferred Stock
On May 14, 2020, the Company closed an additional financing and related agreements with certain shareholders. On October 7, 2021, the Company paid $2,500,000 to repurchase one note.
The remaining ten noteholders of notes convertible into Series D Preferred Stock elected to convert their notes totaling $1,520,000 into Series D Preferred Stock at $2.00 per share. On October 18, 2021, the Company issued 760,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for these notes. The Series D Preferred Stock may receive a 4% per annum dividend, payable if available, and in arrears. The dividend is calculated at 4.0% of $1,520,000 payable annually on October 18th. As of June 30, 2023 dividends for the year 2022 totaling $60,800 were in arrears.
Due to the nature of the Series D Preferred as mandatorily redeemable by the Company at the election of the Series D Preferred stockholder at any time following maturity, the Series D Preferred Stock is classified as “temporary equity” on the balance sheet.
The deemed dividends on the Series C and D Preferred Stock for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, were $117,150 and $117,150, respectively. As the Company has not declared these dividends, it is required as an item “below” the net income amount on the accompanying consolidated statements of income.
Preferred Stock (Undesignated)
In addition to the 1,000 shares designated as Series A Preferred Stock, and the 1,734,992 shares designated as Series C Preferred Stock, and the 3,000,000 shares designated as Series D Preferred Stock, the Company is authorized to issue an additional 15,265,008 shares of Preferred Stock, having a par value of $0.0001 per share. The Board of Directors of the Company has authority to issue the Preferred Stock from time to time in one or more series, and with respect to each series of the Preferred Stock, to fix and state by the resolution the terms attached to the Preferred Stock. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, there were no other shares of Preferred Stock outstanding.
The shares of each series of Preferred Stock may vary from the shares of any other series thereof in any or all the foregoing respects and in any other manner. The Board of Directors may increase the number of shares of Preferred Stock designated for any existing series by a resolution adding to such series authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock not designated for any other series. Unless otherwise provided in a particular Preferred Stock designation, the Board of Directors may decrease the number of shares of Preferred Stock designated for any existing series by a resolution subtracting from such series authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock designated for such existing series, and the shares so subtracted shall become authorized, unissued and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock.

NOTE 7 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Concession Taxes
The Company is required to pay taxes in México in order to maintain mining concessions owned by DynaMéxico. Additionally, the Company is required to incur a minimum amount of expenditures each year for all concessions held. The minimum expenditures are calculated based upon the land area, as well as the age of the concessions. Amounts spent in excess of the minimum may be carried forward indefinitely over the life of the concessions and are adjusted annually for inflation. Based on Management’s recent business activities and current and forward plans and considering expenditures on mining concessions from 2002 to 2017 and continuing expenditures in current and forward activities, the Company does not anticipate that DynaMéxico will have any difficulties meeting the minimum annual expenditures for the concessions ($388 - $2,400 Mexican Pesos per hectare). DynaMéxico retains sufficient carry- forward amounts to cover over 10 years of the minimum annual expenditure (as calculated at the 2017 minimum, adjusted for annual inflation of 4%).
Leases
In addition to the surface rights held by DynaMéxico pursuant to the Mining Act of México and its Regulations (Ley Minera y su Reglamento), DynaMineras maintains access and surface rights to the SJG Project pursuant to a 20-year Land Lease Agreement with the Santa Maria Ejido Community, the owners of the surface rights. The Land Lease Agreement was dated January 6, 2014 and continues through January 2033. It covers an area of 4,399 surrounding the main mineral resource areas of SJG and provides for annual lease payments on January 1st each year by DynaMineras, in the amount of $1,359,443 Pesos (approximately $73,000 USD) adjusted for inflation based on the Mexico minimum wage increase. Rent was $4,414,124 Pesos (approximately $243,000 USD) for the year ended December 31, 2023, which was paid during the first quarter of 2023. The Land Lease Agreement provides DynaMineras with surface access to the core resource areas of SJG (4,399 hectares) and allows for all permitted mining and exploration activities.
The Company determines if a contract is or contains a lease at inception. As of June 30, 2023, the Company has two operating leases: corporate office space and a twenty-year ground lease in association with its México mining operations. An agreement for the lease of expanded office space was signed in the first quarter of 2023 and will commence when the build-out of the space is complete, which is anticipated to be during the third quarter of 2023. Until that time, the existing space is being leased on a month-to-month basis. The ground lease has a remaining term of approximately 10 years. Variable lease costs consist primarily of variable common area maintenance, storage parking and utilities. The Company’s leases do not have any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
As the implicit rate is not readily determinable for most of the Company’s lease agreements, the Company uses an estimated incremental borrowing rate to determine the initial present value of lease payments. These discount rates for leases are calculated using the Company’s interest rate of promissory notes.
NOTE 8 - DERIVATIVE LIABILITY
Warrants Issued With the Notes Convertible Into Series D Preferred
As discussed in Note 6, the Company analyzed the conversion features of the promissory notes convertible into Series D Preferred and determined that the Warrants issued with such notes qualified as a derivative liability. The fair value was required to be allocated among the notes, the notes’ conversion features, and the warrants, and then remeasured at each reporting date. The Company performed a valuation of the conversion feature. In performing the valuation, the Company applied the guidance in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”, to nonfinancial assets and liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). To measure fair value, the Company incorporates assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability and utilizes market data to the maximum extent possible.

Table of Contents |
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company considered the inputs in this valuation to be level 3 in the fair value hierarchy under ASC 820 and used an equity simulation model to determine the value of conversion feature of the Warrants issued with the notes convertible into Series D Preferred based on the assumptions below:

NOTE 9 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The ASC 820 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities were measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, with the exception of cash, which was valued using Level 1 inputs. A description of the valuation of the Level 3 inputs is discussed in Note 8.

The Amendment was adopted by the Company’s stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders held on July 14, 2023. Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock was removed as a series of Preferred Stock, and the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors was revised by redesignating the incumbent Class II Directors as Class I Directors and the incumbent Class III Director as the Class II Director, and removing the position of Class III Director. The foregoing description of the Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which Amendment is available as Appendix I to the Company’s Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on June 12, 2023 and incorporated herein in its entirety by reference.

Mill tonnage processed, feed grade and recovery rates are estimates based on internal reports of assays and estimated weights of tonnage mined and shipped to the plant. 2022 estimated tonnage has been adjusted down from those included in the table presented in the June 30, 2022 Form 10-Q to reflect management’s updated estimates of tonnage processed and of gold recovered and delivered for sale. |
Test pilot operations in three months ended March 31, 2023 yielded 53,258 tons mined and processed through mill facility (an average of 592 tons per day) and the recovery of 8,204 gross Au Oz resulting in sales of 6,810 gross Au Oz contained in gold-silver concentrates, and $11,953,079 of revenue, net of buyer’s price discount, refining and treatment costs.
Test pilot operations in three months ended June 30, 2023 yielded 51,409 tons mined and processed through mill facility (average of 565 tons per day) and the recovery of 7,173 gross Au Oz resulting in sales of 7,438 gross Au Oz contained in gold-silver concentrates, and $13,505,752 of revenue, net of buyer’s price discount, refining and treatment costs. The revenue from three months ended June 30, 2023 was offset by adjustments in final settlements of $(2,593,583) on provisional settlements recorded on prior period shipments. Consistent with ongoing practice, the final settlement assays can lag up to a period of six months due to Buyer’s receipt of final assay from the independent assay firm.
Reported recovery percentage in the six months ended June 30, 2023 is less than the recovery percentage reported in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as a result of the expansion of the Company’s mill operations, and a resulting decrease in operating efficiency. The Company added two ball mills to the mill facility in fourth quarter 2022, which commenced test mill operations with increased capacity in 2023. With this additional capacity, the Company achieved an increase in tonnage processed from 58,315 in the six months ended June 30, 2022 (average of 322 tons per day) to 104,667 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 (average of 578 tons per day), and during the same periods the Company reported a decrease in feed grade from 9.39 g/t Au to 6.19 g/t Au. The decrease in recovery percentage from 80% to 73.87% was a result of processing inefficiencies due to the new ball mill installations, testing activities and other adjustments to the operating inputs of the new ball mills. We believe the test mill operations will achieve increased efficiencies as we gain experience with larger volumes of material processed. However, the Company believes the reported recovery percentage may continue to be a reduced percentage from prior periods, as we process larger volumes of material.
The drop in the feed grade at the pilot plant facility is a result of some dilution experienced in the test mining activities, and partially due to the increase in test mining tonnage. To increase the tonnage of higher-grade test mining material available for test mill processing, the Company has commenced the opening to another test mining area of SJG. The Company expects to achieve the access to an additional test mining area at SJG during the third quarter, 2023.

Additional Test Mining and Mill Operations Disclosure
The Company expects to continue its test underground mining activity and pilot milling operations in 2023, and projects an increased output to an average of approximately 700 tons per 24-hour operating day during the third quarter 2023.
Results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
REVENUE: Revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $22,865,248 and $20,590,513. Revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $10,912,169 and $10,098,010. The increase was a result of an increase in tonnage mined and processed during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from 58,315 tons in 2022 to 104,667 in 2023. The increase in tonnage during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was offset by a reduction in the feed grade of the material processed from 9.39 g/t au in the six months period ending June 30, 2022 to 6.19 g/t au per ton for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, the Company’s recovery rates declined from 80.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to 73.87% in the six months ended June 30, 2023, due primarily to the reduced efficiency while implementing two new ball mills into the pilot mill operations. In addition, during the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded adjustments in final settlements related to provisional settlements from prior periods of $(2,593,583).
PRODUCTION COSTS RELATED TO SALES: Production costs related to sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $3,766,775 and $1,912,730. Production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,055,513 and $1,147,235. These are expenses directly related to the test milling, packaging and shipping of primarily gold concentrates. The increase is a result of the increase in the volume of test mining and milling activities from an average of 322 tons per day in the six months ended June 30, 2022 to an average of 578 tons per day in the six months ended June 30, 2023.
MINE PRODUCTION COSTS: Costs associated with test mining activities (mine production costs) for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $5,468,959 and $2,839,255. Mine production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,939,522 and $1,611,371. The Company allocates total test mining costs between production and waste based on tonnage mined. These costs were directly related to the extraction of mine tonnage to be processed at the pilot mill facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company test mined 97,229 tons of material compared to 63,984 tons in the six months ended June 30, 2022.
MINE EXPLORATION COSTS: Mine exploration costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $4,463,973 and $2,456,968. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,247,024 and $1,578,780. Mine exploration costs are the costs of extracting waste material in order to reach the tonnage of material to be extracted for processing at the pilot mill facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company mined 81,154 tons of waste compared to 54,030 in the six months ended June 30, 2022. The increase in mine exploration costs was largely due to the initiative to open an additional area at SJG for test mining activities commencing in the second quarter of 2023.
FACILITIES EXPANSION COSTS: Facilities expansion costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $824,671 and $2,971,407. Expansion costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $539,593 and $2,362,804. The major expenses reported for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were the expansion of the tailings pond and the acquisition and preparation for the installation of two new ball mills. The major expenses reported in the six months ended June 30, 2023 have been additions to the ball mill installations and related improvements to the mill facility, and mining infrastructure for the access to an additional test mining area at SJG.
EXPLORATION DRILLING: During the first quarter of 2022, the Company began an exploration drilling program for the purposes of updating the Company’s CND NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate. Exploration expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1,125,275 and $1,222,190. Exploration Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $627,875 and $734,575.
CAMP, WAREHOUSE AND FACILITIES: Camp, warehouse and support facility costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,508,459 and $2,236,028. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1,426,280 and $1,410,825. These represent the costs of supporting the test mining facilities including housing, food, security and warehouse operations. The increase in costs recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was a result of the increase in test mining activity as a result of the facilities expansion and the increase in exploration costs.

TRANSPORTATION: Transportation costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $1,540,549 and $1,110,214. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $794,486 and $719,574. These costs relate to the transporting of the primarily gold concentrates to the customer for treatment and sales. The increase in costs is primarily due to an increase in tonnage of ore hauled from mine to plant and an overall increase in fuel and transportation costs.
PROPERTY HOLDING COSTS: Property holding costs for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $81,191 and $72,781. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $41,670 and $36,814. These costs were primarily taxes on mining concessions, leases on land and other direct costs of maintaining the SJG property. These costs are relatively consistent from year to year regardless of the level of mining activity.
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE: General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $5,230,983 and $2,144,097. Costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were $2,265,390 and $1,117,742. These general and administrative expenses were the costs of operating the Company not directly associated with the test mining and pilot mill operations including management, accounting, and legal expenses. The increase in costs in 2023 was primarily an increase in legal fees as discussed in the legal summary, including a non-recurring legal expense of $3,000,000 tied to the successful outcome of litigation that was previously accrued, and due to an overall increase in administrative costs supporting the Company’s increase in activity.
OTHER INCOME (EXPENSE): Other income (expense) for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 was $373,636 and $1,960,605, respectively. Included in other income in 2023 was interest expense of $(224,175), change in derivative of $562,277, currency exchange gain of $34,227 and miscellaneous income of $1,307. The increase in the derivative liability was primarily due to the decrease in remaining life of the underlying securities and the Company’s common stock value remaining under the term of conversion. There was a benefit in the 2nd quarter of 2022 from the maturity of two of the underlying securities which eliminated those derivatives. Included in other income in 2022 was interest expense of $(241,505), change in derivative of $2,163,281, currency exchange gain (loss) of $37,790 and miscellaneous income of $1,039. Other income (expense) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022 was $298,551 and $1,143,544, respectively. Included in other income in 2023 was interest expense of $(107,867), change in derivative of $392,843, currency exchange gain of $15,973 and miscellaneous expense of $(2,398). The increase in the derivative liability was primarily due to the decrease in remaining life of the underlying securities and the Company’s common stock value remaining under the term of conversion. Included in other income in 2022 was interest expense of $(121,736), change in derivative of $1,224,575, currency exchange gain of $40,192 and miscellaneous income of $513.
OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Other comprehensive income includes the Company’s net income plus the unrealized currency exchange gain for the period. The Company’s other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of unrealized currency gains of $351,217 and $11,016, respectively. The change is due to the variances in the currency exchange rates between the US Dollar and Mexican Peso throughout the two periods. The Company’s other comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 consisted of unrealized currency gains of $259,976 and $312,928, respectively. The change is due to the variances in the currency exchange rates between the US Dollar and Mexican Peso throughout the two periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2023, the Company had working capital of $9,006,071 comprised of current assets of $34,220,164 and current liabilities of $25,214,093. This represented a decrease of $2,783,507 from the working capital maintained by the Company of $11,789,578 as of December 31, 2022. The primary reason for the decrease was due to a decrease in the Company’s cash.
Net cash used in operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was $(2,564,453) compared to a use of $(176,600) during the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease in the cash flow from operations was primarily due to the Company’s loss in 2023, primarily attributed to the ongoing expenses of expansion and increased output in the six months ended June 30, 2023.

The Company reported no investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and June 30, 2022. Expenditures reported for the expansion of mining facilities totaled $824,671 and $2,971,407 during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022, respectively, would normally have been included in this category but were expensed due to the company’s lack of proven and probable reserves at the SJG Project, which therefore, requires the Company to expense costs as incurred related to expansion of test mining and milling activities.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $(1,310,250) and $5,357,921, respectively. The net cash used in financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2023 was used to purchase the Series A preferred stock previously held by the Company’s Chairman / CEO. The net cash provided by financing activities in the six months ended June 30, 2022 was derived from the exercise and purchase of common stock warrants.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, which have or are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Plan of Operation
The Company’s plan of operation for the next twelve months includes continuing the improvement and expansion of the test mining and pilot milling operations at SJG. The Company commenced its test mining and pilot milling activities in fall 2015, at the rate of an average of approximately 100 tons per 24-hour operating day. Over the past seven years, the Company has gradually increased its output to a current average of approximately 600 tons per 24-hour operating day from the test mining activity and test milling facility. In the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company completed the current planned expansion of the pilot mill facility with the installation and addition to pilot plant operations of two new ball mills. The Company expects to increase efficiency of activities in second semester 2023, and to achieve an additional increase in output to an average of approximately 700 tons per 24-hour operating day.
The Company funds its general and administrative expenses in the US from the cash flow from the Company’s operating subsidiary in Mexico. The Company believes that cash on hand and the cash flow to be generated from its current test mining and pilot mill operations, is adequate to fund its ongoing general and administrative expenses through the subsequent twelve months.
