Dynasty Begins Commissioning Zaruma Gold Plant

Dynasty Metals & Mining Inc. (TSX:DMM) ("Dynasty" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has commenced the commissioning of its gold processing plant at Zaruma, in the El Oro Province of south-western Ecuador.

The plant will be commissioned in phases, starting with the crushing section which is currently being tested. The ball mills will be tested later this month and by the end of the month the Company expects to run and test the full circuit. Plant commissioning and mine development will continue for approximately three months, after which time the Company plans to process 800 tonnes of material per day, which is approximately 300,000 tonnes per annum. The installed capacity of the plant, except for the wet section, is approximately 800,000 tonnes per annum, allowing for considerable expansion without significant additional capital cost.

It also provides the opportunity for the Company to process material with lower than planned resource grades to generate additional ounces in a rising gold market.

Mine development activities continue as scheduled. The Company has opened two declines, from which material is presently being mined. A third decline is under construction. The mining and delivery of material to the plant will be stepped up in time to meet the Company's planned production schedule.

Recently updated photographs of the Zaruma Gold Project are available on the Company's website at www.dynastymining.com.
