TSX-listed artisanal gold ore processing company Dynacor has started ore production from its Galam pilot plant, in Senegal, which puts it on track for first gold pour in August.

The company has successfully commissioned the laboratory and front-end process of the pilot plant, while hot commissioning activities are ongoing in the main process areas, including the grinding, leaching, gold refining and Merrill Crowe circuits.

Dynacor has also started operating a tailings storage facility on site.

Dynacor says an initial stockpile of gold-bearing ore has been built from local suppliers, in line with the plant's startup target. The company will continue purchasing ore from additional supplier groups in August.

"We are excited to highlight Galam’s move from construction to commissioning. This is a significant achievement and a testament to the experience of the Dynacor team. So far, commissioning is proceeding to plan. When fully ramped up, Galam will act as a blueprint for future commercial plants in Africa, which is expected to be the key driver of our expansion strategy," says Dynacor president and CEO Daniel Misiano.

Meanwhile, Dynacor continues to rehabilitate its Svetlana plant, in Ecuador, with a restart targeted in the fourth quarter.
