All shelf information permitted under applicable laws to be omitted from this Prospectus will be contained in one or more prospectus supplements (each a "Prospectus Supplement") that will be delivered to purchasers together with this Prospectus. Each Prospectus Supplement containing the specific terms of any Securities will be incorporated by reference into this Prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the Prospectus Supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the Securities to which the Prospectus Supplement pertains.

The Corporation will provide the specific terms of any offering of Securities, including the specific terms of the Securities with respect to a particular offering and the terms of such offering, in a Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus and may include, where applicable, (i) in the case of Common Shares, the number of Common Shares

A Prospectus Supplement may include specific variable terms pertaining to the Securities that are not within the alternatives and parameters described in this Prospectus. The Securities may be offered separately or together or in any combination, and as separate series.

In addition, Securities may be offered and issued in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities by the Corporation or subsidiary of the Corporation. The consideration of any such acquisition may consist of any of the Securities separately, a combination of Securities or any combination of, among other things, Securities, cash and assumption of liabilities.

This Prospectus constitutes a public offering of Securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale, and therein only by persons permitted to sell the Securities. The Corporation may offer and sell the Securities to or through underwriters purchasing as principal and may also sell the Securities to one or more purchasers directly, through applicable statutory exemptions, or through agents designated by the Corporation from time to time. The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at fixed prices or not at fixed prices, such as market prices prevailing at the time of sale, prices related to such prevailing market prices or prices to be negotiated with purchasers, which prices may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution of the Securities. The Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular offering of Securities will identify each underwriter, dealer or agent engaged in connection with the offering and sale of such Securities, as well as the method of distribution and the terms of the offering of such Securities, including the initial offering price (in the event the offering is a fixed price distribution), the manner of determining the offering price(s) (in the event the offering is not a fixed price distribution), the net proceeds to the Corporation and, to the extent applicable, any fees, discounts or any other compensation payable to underwriters, dealers or agents, and any other material terms.

This Prospectus may qualify an "at-the-market distribution". The Securities may be offered and sold pursuant to this Prospectus through underwriters, dealers, directly or through agents designated from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by the Corporation. In connection with any underwritten offering of Securities other than an "at-the-market distribution" (as defined in Regulation 44-102 respecting Shelf Distributions), unless otherwise specified in the relevant Prospectus Supplement, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at levels other than those that might otherwise prevail on the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be commenced, interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter or dealer involved in an "at-the-market distribution" under this Prospectus, no affiliate of such an underwriter or dealer and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer will over-allot Securities in connection with such distribution or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities.

GENERAL MATTERS

Unless otherwise noted or the context indicates otherwise, the "Corporation" or "Dynacor" refer to Dynacor Group Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The Corporation has not authorized anyone to provide readers with information different from that contained in this Prospectus. The Corporation takes no responsibility for and can provide no assurance as to the reliability of any other information that others may give readers of this Prospectus. The Corporation is not making an offer of Securities in any jurisdiction where the offer is not permitted.

Readers should not assume that the information contained or incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is accurate as of any date other than the date of this Prospectus or the respective dates of the documents incorporated by reference herein, unless otherwise noted herein or as required by law. It should be assumed that the information appearing in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are accurate only as of their respective dates. The business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Corporation may have changed since those dates.

The Corporation does not undertake to update the information contained or incorporated by reference herein, including any Prospectus Supplement, except as required by applicable securities laws. Information contained on, or otherwise accessed through, the website of the Corporation, www.dynacor.com, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Prospectus and such information is not incorporated by reference herein.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein contain or incorporate by reference "forward-looking information" with respect to the Corporation. Except for statements of historical fact relating to Dynacor, information contained herein constitutes forward-looking information, including any information related to the offering and Dynacor's strategy, plans or future financial or operating performance. Forward-looking information is characterized by words such as "plan", "expect", "budget", "target", "project", "intend", "believe", "anticipate", "estimate" and other similar words, or statements that certain events or conditions "may", "will", "could" or "should" occur, or by discussions of strategy and includes any guidance and forecasts appearing in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement or in the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus (including, but not limited to, production guidance of the Corporation). In order to give such forward-looking information, the Corporation has made certain assumptions about its business, operations, the economy and the mineral exploration industry in general. In this respect, the Corporation has assumed that supplies in ore will remain consistent with management's expectations, equipment works as anticipated, required regulatory approvals are received, no unusual environmental, social or human resources problems occur, no material adverse change in the price of gold occurs and no significant events occur outside of the Corporation's normal course of business. No assurance can be given that the expectations in any forward-looking statement will prove to be correct and, as such, the forward-looking information included in this Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement should not be unduly relied upon. Forward-looking information include estimates, plans, expectations, opinions, forecasts, projections, targets, guidance, or other statements that are not statements of fact.

Forward-looking information is based on the opinions, assumptions and estimates of management considered reasonable at the date the statements are made, and are inherently subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other known and unknown factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Corporation to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ materially from a conclusion, forecast or projection contained in the forward-looking statements in this Prospectus, including, but not limited to, the following material factors:

(a) the speculative nature of the Corporation's operations;

(b) the ability of the Corporation to attract and retain qualified management to grow its business;


(c) metal price volatility;
(d) foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
(e) economic and market conditions;
(f) future financial needs and availability of adequate financing;
(g) application of or changes to laws governing the Corporation or the operators of properties from which the Corporation sources;
(h) the Corporation's ability to make accurate assumptions regarding the ore grade, supply of ore and production capacity;
(i) changes in estimates of mineral reserves and mineral resources by operators of properties from which the Corporation sources;
(j) risks relating to environmental or social factors or incidents which may adversely impact operations at the plan where the Corporation processes ore;
(k) mine operating and ore processing facility problems (including, but not limited to, labour disputes resulting in work stoppages and/or delays);
(l) obtention of all permits, licence and community agreements to commence exploration or mining activities at the Corporation's properties;
(m) publication of inaccurate or unfavourable research by securities analysts or other third parties;
(n) responses of relevant governments to any health epidemic, pandemic and other outbreak of infectious disease and the effectiveness of such response and the potential impact of any health epidemic, pandemic and other outbreak of infectious disease on the Corporation's business, operations and financial condition; and
(o) uncertainty or adverse changes relating to foreign policy matters, turmoil and conflict in certain geopolitical regions, military conflicts and other world events which have the potential to adversely affect the performance of and outlook for the Canadian and global economies.

For a more detailed discussion of these factors and other risks, see "Risk Factors" herein and the section entitled "Risk Factors" contained in the AIF (as defined herein). New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all of those factors or to assess in advance the impact of each such factor on the Corporation's business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Although Dynacor has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ materially from those described in, or implied by, the forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results not to be anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. The reader is cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained herein is presented for the purpose of assisting investors in understanding Dynacor's expected financial and operational performance and Dynacor's plans and objectives and may not be appropriate for other purposes. Dynacor may rely on information publicly disclosed by other issuers and third parties pertaining to its assets, and therefore, assumes no liability for such third party public disclosure.

All forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference in this Prospectus is given as of the date hereof or thereof, as the case may be, and is based

  • 2 -

upon the opinions and estimates of management and information available to management of the Corporation as at the date hereof or thereof. The Corporation undertakes no obligation to update or revise the forward-looking information contained in this Prospectus, any Prospectus Supplement and the documents incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws. Investors should read this entire Prospectus, and each applicable Prospectus Supplement and consult their own professional advisors to ascertain and assess the income tax and legal risks and other aspects of their investment in the Securities.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURES

Dynacor has included certain performance measures that do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS including "cash gross operating margin per AuEq onces", "cash-flow per share", "cash cost of sales", "earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation" and "net cash flow from operating activities before change in working capital per share" to supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are incorporated by reference herein and presented in accordance with IFRS.

The Corporation has provided measures prepared according to IFRS Accounting Standards as well as some non-IFRS financial performance measures. Because the non-IFRS performance measures do not have any standardized definition prescribed by IFRS Accounting Standards, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The Corporation provides these non-IFRS financial performance measures as they may be used by some investors to evaluate Dynacor's financial performance. Accordingly, they are intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. These non-IFRS financial performance measures were reconciled to reported IFRS measures, for further information regarding the non-IFRS financial performance measures used by Dynacor, see "Non-IFRS Measures" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" in the Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A (each as defined herein). The Annual MD&A and Interim MD&A are incorporated by reference herein.

THE CORPORATION

The Corporation was incorporated on December 15, 2006 under the name "Malaga Mines Inc." pursuant to Part IA of the Companies Act (Québec). The Corporation changed its name to "Dynacor Gold Mines Inc." on April 25, 2007 and to "Dynacor Group Inc." on June 22, 2022. The Corporation is now governed by the Business Corporations Act (Québec). The Corporation is a reporting issuer in the provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Québec, and the Common Shares are listed on the TSX under the symbol "DNG".

The Corporation is currently a reporting issuer in the Provinces of Alberta, Ontario and Québec. Upon the filing of a final prospectus in connection with the offering of the Securities, the Corporation will become a reporting issuer in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.

The Corporation's head and registered office is located at 606, Cathcart, suite 640, Montréal, Québec H3B 1K9.

THE BUSINESS OF THE CORPORATION

Dynacor is a dividend-paying industrial gold ore processor headquartered in Montréal, Canada. The Corporation is engaged in gold production through the processing of ore purchased from the ASM (artisanal and small-scale mining) industry. At present, Dynacor operates in Peru, where its management and processing teams have decades of experience working with ASM miners. It also owns the rights on mining properties which are at the exploration stage, including its exploration gold, copper and silver prospect, the Tumipampa property, in the Apurimac department.

MATERIAL MINERAL PROJECTS

Dynacor considers the Tumipampa property to currently be its only material mineral project for the purposes of Regulation 43-101 respecting Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ("Regulation 43-101").

The exploration program on the property has been defined in 2017 and 2018, based on all the available geological data and geochemical sampling data, reinterpretation of the geophysical data and the recommendations of independent experts (in disseminated gold deposits) who visited the property in the fall of 2017.

In 2019, Dynacor signed a mining and mineral purchase agreement with artisanal miners to begin extraction of materialized material from high-grade veins from the Tumipampa property. The first deliveries occurred in June 2019 and totaled 1,121 tonnes, at an average ore grade of 1.33 oz per tonne. During 2020 and 2021, 455 and 368 tonnes of mineral have been mined and transported at the plant. No mineral has been mined since 2022.

  • 6 -

In order to continue exploration works on the property, the Corporation needs an agreement with the local community.

  • 9 -

any particular terms of the Debt Securities described in a Prospectus Supplement differ from any of the terms described in this Prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this Prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such Prospectus Supplement with respect to such Debt Securities.

Unless stated otherwise in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, no holder of Debt Securities will have the right to require the Corporation to repurchase the Debt Securities and there will be no increase in the interest rate if the Corporation becomes involved in a highly leveraged transaction or has a change of control.

The Corporation may issue Debt Securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, and offer and sell these securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Corporation may also sell any of the Debt Securities for a foreign currency or currency unit, and payments on the Debt Securities may be payable in a foreign currency or currency unit. In any of these cases, the Corporation will describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences and other special considerations in the applicable Prospectus Supplement.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation may issue Debt Securities with terms different from those of Debt Securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, reopen a previous issue of a series of Debt Securities and issue additional Debt Securities of such series.

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, the Debt Securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Corporation. The Debt Securities will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If the debt securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and ratably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Corporation from time to time issued and outstanding which is not subordinated. If the Debt Securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will be subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Corporation as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, and they will rank equally and ratably with other subordinated indebtedness of the Corporation from time to time issued and outstanding as described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Corporation reserves the right to specify in a Prospectus Supplement whether a particular series of subordinated Debt Securities is subordinated to any other series of subordinated Debt Securities.

The Board may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of Debt Securities will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of the Corporation's other liabilities and obligations and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed by any other person and the nature and priority of any security.

Registration of Debt Securities

Debt Securities in Book Entry Form

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, Debt Securities of any series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global Securities") registered in the name of a designated clearing agency (a "Depository") or its nominee and held by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Indenture. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of Debt Securities to be represented by a Global Security will, to the extent not described herein, be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series. The Corporation anticipates that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee will credit, in its book-entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the Debt Securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of such participants that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee ("Participants"). Such accounts are typically designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the Debt Securities or by the Corporation if such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Corporation. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to Participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through Participants. With respect to the interests of Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee. With respect to the interests of persons other than Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by Participants or persons that hold through Participants.

  • 10 -

So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the applicable Trust Indenture and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities represented by a Global Security will be made by the Corporation to the Depositary or its nominee. The Corporation expects that the Depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit Participants' accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Security as shown on the records of such Depositary or its nominee. The Corporation also expects that payments by Participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participants.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct Participants, by direct Participants to indirect Participants and by direct and indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of Debt Securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the Debt Securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the Trust Indenture.

Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the Debt Securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such Debt Securities in certificated non-book-entry form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable Trust Indenture, and the ability of a holder to pledge a Debt Security or otherwise take action with respect to such holder's interest in a Debt Security (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

No Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Debt Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee of such Depositary unless: (i) the Depositary is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as depositary and the Corporation is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Corporation at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or the book-entry system ceases to exist; or (iii) if provided for in the Trust Indenture, after the occurrence of an event of default thereunder (provided the Trustee has not waived the event of default in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture), Participants acting on behalf of beneficial holders representing, in aggregate, a threshold percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities then outstanding advise the Depositary in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in their best interest.

If one of the foregoing events occurs, such Global Security shall be exchanged for certificated non-book-entry Debt Securities of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security and registered in such names and denominations as the Depositary may direct.

The Corporation, any underwriters, dealers or agents and any Trustee identified in an accompanying Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, will not have any liability or responsibility for (i) records maintained by the Depositary relating to beneficial ownership interests in the Debt Securities held by the Depositary or the book-entry accounts maintained by the Depositary, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to any such beneficial ownership interests, or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to the Depositary and contained in this Prospectus or in any Prospectus Supplement or Trust Indenture with respect to the rules and regulations of the Depositary or at the direction of Depositary Participants.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or its successor will act as Depositary for any Debt Securities represented by a Global Security.

Debt Securities in Certificated Form

A series of the Debt Securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered securities, solely as unregistered securities or as both registered securities and unregistered securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will have interest coupons attached.

In the event that the Debt Securities are issued in certificated non-book-entry form, and unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Debt Securities (other than a Global Security) will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee or, at the option of the

  • 11 -

Corporation, by the Corporation by way of cheque mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the Trustee or electronic funds wire or other transmission to an account of the person entitled to receive such payments. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the Debt Securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by the Corporation.

At the option of the holder of Debt Securities, registered securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. If, but only if, provided in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such event, unregistered securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable Prospectus Supplement, unregistered securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of the Debt Securities in definitive form. Except for certain restrictions to be set forth in the Trust Indenture, no service charge will be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the Debt Securities in definitive form, but the Corporation may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

(i) the designation and aggregate number of Units being offered;

(ii) the price at which the Units will be offered;

(iii) the designation, number and terms of the securities comprising the units and any agreement governing the Units;

(iv) the date or dates, if any, on or after which the securities comprising the Units will be transferable separately;

(v) whether the Corporation will apply to list the Units or any of the individual securities comprising the Units on any exchange;

(vi) material Canadian income tax consequences of owning the Units, including, how the purchase price paid for the Units will be allocated among the securities comprising the Units; and

(vii) any other material terms or conditions of the Units.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The plan of distribution with respect to an offering of Securities under this Prospectus will be described in the Prospectus Supplement for the applicable distribution of Securities.

The Corporation may sell Securities offered by this Prospectus for cash or other consideration (i) to or through underwriters, dealers, placement agents or other intermediaries, (ii) directly to one or more purchasers or (iii) in connection with acquisitions of assets or shares or another entity or company. The consideration for an acquisition of assets or shares of another entity or company may consist of any of the Securities covered hereby separately, a combination of such Securities, or any combination of, among other things, securities, cash or the assumption of liabilities.

Each Prospectus Supplement with respect to the Securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

(i) the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or other placement agents;

(ii) the number and the purchase price of, and form of consideration for, the Securities;

(iii) any proceeds to the Corporation from such sale; and

(iv) any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation.

The Corporation's Securities may be sold, from time to time, in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market price or at negotiated prices, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be at-the-market distributions, including sales made directly on the TSX or other existing trading markets for the securities. The prices at which the securities

  • 17 -

may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a bona fide effort to sell all of the securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable Prospectus Supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Corporation.

Only underwriters named in the Prospectus Supplement are deemed to be underwriters in connection with Dynacor’s Securities offered by that prospectus supplement.

Under agreements which may be entered into by the Corporation, underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled to indemnification by the Corporation against certain liabilities, including liabilities under applicable Canadian securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. The underwriters, dealers and agents with whom Dynacor enter into agreements may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Corporation in the ordinary course of business.

No underwriter or dealer involved in an at-the-market distribution, no affiliate of such underwriter or dealer and no person acting jointly or in concert with such underwriter or dealer has over-allotted, or will over allot, the Securities in connection with an at-the-market distribution of the Securities or effect any other transactions that are intended to stabilize the market price of the Securities during an at-the-market distribution. In connection with any offering of the Securities other than in an at-the-market distribution, the underwriters may over-allot or effect transactions which stabilize or maintain the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

EARNINGS COVERAGE RATIOS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement will provide, as required, the earnings coverage ratios with respect to issuance of Debt Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

PRIOR SALES

Prior sales of Securities will be provided, as required, in a Prospectus Supplement with respect to the issuance of Securities pursuant to such Prospectus Supplement.

TRADING PRICE AND VOLUME

Trading price and volume of Securities will be provided, as required, in each Prospectus Supplement to this Prospectus.

CERTAIN CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable Prospectus Supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to investors described therein of purchasing, holding and disposing of the applicable Securities, including, in the case of an investor who is not a resident of Canada, Canadian non-resident withholding tax considerations.

RISK FACTORS

Before making an investment decision, prospective purchasers of Securities should carefully consider the information described in this Prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Additional risk factors relating to a specific offering of Securities will be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. Some of the risk factors described in the documents incorporated by reference herein and/or the applicable Prospectus Supplement are interrelated and, consequently, investors should treat such risk factors as a whole. If any event arising from these risks occurs, the Corporation's business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, or your investment in the Securities could be materially adversely affected. Additional risks and uncertainties of which the Corporation currently is unaware or that are unknown or that it currently deems

  • 18 -

to be immaterial could have a material adverse effect on the Corporation's business, financial condition and results of operation. The Corporation can provide no assurance that it will successfully address any or all of these risks.

No Existing Trading Market (Other than for Common Shares)

There is no market through which the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this Prospectus and any Prospectus Supplement. There can be no assurance that an active trading market will develop for the Debt Securities, Warrants, Subscription Receipts or Units after an offering or, if developed, that such market will be sustained. This may affect the pricing of such Securities in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Securities, and the extent of issuer regulation. The public offering prices of the Securities may be determined by negotiation between the Corporation and the underwriters or dealers based on several factors and may bear no relationship to the prices at which the Securities will trade in the public market subsequent to such offering. See “Plan of Distribution”.

Foreign Currencies Risk

Debt Securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risk. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential liquidity in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Interest Rate Risk

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of the Securities. The market price or value of the Securities may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

Tax Matters

The Corporation is subject to income taxes and other taxes in foreign jurisdictions. The Corporation's tax structure is subject to review by foreign taxation authorities and affected by a number of factors, some of which are outside of its controls, including different interpretations and constant changes and revisions in the ordinary course. The Corporation's interpretation and the interpretation of its tax advisors or tax experts, applied in accordance to the law to the Corporation's transactions and activities, may not coincide with the interpretation of the tax authorities. As a result, transactions have been and may, in the future, be challenged by the tax authorities and could result in significant taxes, penalties and interest. As such, the Corporation subsidiary received notices of assessment from the Peruvian tax authorities, in Peruvian Sol, for each of the fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017 in the aggregate amount equivalent to US$15.9 million including US$12.0 million in penalties and interests. Additional penalties and interests since the notices of assessment are estimated at US$1.7 million. The main item of the assessment relates to the ore purchased from certain suppliers, qualified as non-genuine transactions by the local tax authorities and therefore considered by the authorities as non-deductible expenses. The Corporation strongly believe that ore purchases are genuine and fully supported deductible transactions. Therefore, the Corporation contested these claims. The Corporation recorded a tax provision related to uncertain tax position for items other than ore purchases, in the amount of US$0.7 million (including US$0.6 million in penalties and interest). Although the Corporation considers that the judgments and estimates made are reasonable, actual results could differ and resulting adjustments could materially affect the Corporation's results.

INTEREST OF EXPERTS

The disclosure relating to the Tumipampa property contained in this Prospectus (including the documents incorporated by reference) is based on the Corporation's geological report entitled "NI 43-101 Technical Evaluation Report on the Tumipampa Property, province of Abancay, Apurimac Department, Peru" dated October 28, 2016 and co-authored by Alain-Jean Beauregard, P.Geol. and Daniel Gaudreault, P.

LEGAL MATTERS

The partners and associates of Lavery, de Billy, L.L.P., as a group, beneficially own, directly or indirectly, less than 1.0% of any class of outstanding securities of the Corporation.

ENFORCEMENT OF JUDGMENTS AGAINST FOREIGN PERSONS

Purchasers are advised that it may not be possible for investors to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against any person or company that is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada, even if the party has appointed an agent for service of process.

AUDITORS, TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

PURCHASERS' STATUTORY RIGHTS

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. However, purchasers of securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to the securities purchased by such purchaser because the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to the Securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of Regulation 44-102.

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of the securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by the Corporation may have against the Corporation or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus referred to above.

In an offering of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in this Prospectus, the relevant Prospectus Supplement or an amendment thereto is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts, Warrants and Units that are convertible, exchangeable or exercisable for other securities of the Corporation are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of the

  • 20 -

Security, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces and territories.

A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.

PURCHASERS' CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS

Original purchasers of Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts and Warrants (including any of the foregoing contained in any Units), which are convertible into other securities of the Corporation will have a contractual right of rescission against the Corporation in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such Debt Securities, Subscription Receipts and Warrants. The contractual right of rescission will be further described in any applicable Prospectus Supplement, but will, in general, entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this Prospectus and the applicable Prospectus Supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 130 of the Securities Act (Ontario) or otherwise at law.

Original purchasers are further cautioned that, in certain provinces or territories, the statutory right of action for damages in connection with a prospectus misrepresentation is limited to the amount paid for the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security that was purchased under a prospectus, and therefore a further payment at the time of conversion, exchange or exercise may not be recoverable in a statutory action for damages.

A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.
