Dynacor Group Inc. (TSX: DNG,OTC:DNGDF) ("Dynacor" or the "Corporation") announced upcoming changes to its Board of Directors ("Board"). Ms. Hélène Kyriakakis will stand for election as a new independent director at the annual general meeting ("AGM") of shareholders in June 2026. Mr. Pierre Lépine, who is a member of the board since 2014 and has served as Chair of the Board for nine years, has completed his term of office and will not seek re-election at the AGM.
Dynacor Chair Pierre Lépine: "It has been a privilege to use my experience and skill sets to propel Dynacor's growth over the past 12 years. During the period, we have evolved into the largest ASGM ore-processor in Peru and are expanding into the largest processor worldwide. With the roll-out of the expansion plan, the enhanced management team and Board, I am deeply satisfied with the progress that we have made together and that Dynacor will continue its value-creation journey.
As the company enters into execution phase, it is the right moment for me to pass the baton. I am deeply thankful to the many stakeholders—employees, members of the management team, shareholders and partners—whom I met over the years. Each of you contributed to my enriching chapter at Dynacor."
Dynacor President & CEO Jean Martineau: "I would like to extend our thanks to Pierre for his outstanding contribution to Dynacor, initially as a member of the audit and risk management committee and later as Chair. His extensive tenure has deeply influenced Dynacor's trajectory, bringing sound judgement, leadership and strategic insight. Pierre's initiation of the 2030 strategic plan and achievement of two major components – stabilisation of operations and diversification of the business outside of Peru - is an important part of his legacy that will leave a lasting imprint on Dynacor."
