| Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies | 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. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary in the United States, DynaMéxico US Holding, LLC (“US Holding”) and three wholly owned subsidiaries in México, DynaResource de México, S.A. de C.V. (“DynaMéxico”), Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V. (“DynaMineras”), and DynaResource Operaciones de San Jose De Gracia S.A. de C.V. (“DynaOperaciones”). Although the Company considers the three Mexican subsidiaries to be wholly owned, each has issued one qualifying share to a second shareholder as required under Mexican law, with such qualifying shares held by either US Holding or DynaResource’s Chief Executive Officer. DynaMéxico owns a portfolio of mining concessions that currently comprises its 100 % interest in the San José de Gracia Project (“SJG”) in northern Sinaloa State, México. Principles of Consolidation The 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 intercompany transactions have been eliminated. All amounts are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated. 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis that contemplates the realization of assets and discharge of liabilities at their carrying value in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future. 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 . The change in accrued liabilities in the Company’s statement of cash flows presented herein has been corrected to $ 316,757 from $ 96,757 and the net income for the year ended December 31, 2022, attributable to common shareholders in Note 2 presented herein has been corrected from $ 6,744,654 to $ 6,451,503 from the Company’s Form 10-K which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 17, 2023. The errors were typographical errors and it did not impact any other financial statement balances including total liabilities, net income, earnings per share, or management compensation . 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. 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 December 31, 2023, the Company continues to 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. Segment Information The Company operates as one segment: test mining and milling gold-silver concentrate for sale from its location in Mexico. 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 December 31, 2023, the Company had $ 5,250,603 of deposits in United States banks in excess of the FDIC limit. In addition, the Company does no t have any cash equivalents as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. 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 Accounts receivable consists of trade receivables which are recorded net of allowance for doubtful accounts for the sale of metal concentrate, as well as net of an embedded derivative based on mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. The allowance for accounts receivable is recorded when receivables are considered to be uncollectible. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, no allowance has been made. As of December 31, 2023 management believes all accounts receivable are fully collectable. Mined Tonnage Inventory Mined tonnage inventory represents ore that has been mined and is available for further processing. The stockpiles of mined tonnage are measured by estimating the number of tonnes added and removed from the stockpile, an estimate of the contained metals (based on assay data) and the estimated metallurgical recovery rates. Costs are allocated to stockpiles based on the relative values of material stockpiled and processed using current mining costs incurred, including applicable overhead. Material is removed at each stockpile’s average cost per tonne. Stockpiles are carried at the lower of average cost of net realizable value. Net realizable value represents the estimated future sales price of the product based on current and long-term metal prices, less the estimated cost to complete production and bring the product the sale. Concentrate Inventory Concentrate inventory include metal concentrates located either at the Company’s facilities or in transit to its customer’s port. Concentrate inventories are carried at the lower of cost of production or net realizable value based on current metals prices. 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 received by the Company. Property and Equipment Substantially all property 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 which is 52 months. Mine Development Costs Mine development costs are expensed as incurred and 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 are charged to operations as incurred. 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. Mining Concessions The Company’s mining concessions include acquired interests in development and exploration stage properties and are considered tangible assets. The amount capitalized relating to the Company’s mining concessions represents its fair value at the time of acquisition. 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 mining concessions and the related costs are recorded do not necessarily reflect present or future values. 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 would be recorded if 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 December 31, 2023 and 2022, no indications of impairment existed. Asset Retirement Obligation (“ARO”) The Company records a liability based on the best estimate of costs for site closure and reclamation activities that the Company is legally or contractually required to remediate. The provision for closure and reclamation liabilities is estimated using expected cash flows based on engineering and environmental reports and accreted to full value over time through periodic charges to income. During 2023, a significant upgrade was made to the milling facility and therefore, an ARO has been established as of December 31, 2023 at the estimated costs to decommission the plant and tailings pond at the end of the estimated live of the mines in operation as of December 31, 2023. As the Company is an exploration stage property that does not qualify for asset capitalization, the costs associated with the obligation are charged to operations. 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 the 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 the property 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 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). Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective currency of the entity or division, using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the remeasurement of monetary items denominated in foreign currency at period-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary items that are not re-translated at period end are measured at historical cost (translated using the exchange rates at the transaction date), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value, which are translated using the exchange rates as at the date when fair value was determined. Gains and losses are recorded in the statement of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Relevant exchange rates used in the preparation of the financial statements for the subsidiaries are as follows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (Mexican Pesos per one U.S. dollar):
December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Current exchange rate Pesos 16.97 19.48
Weighted average exchange rate for the year ended Pesos 17.23 20.11 The Company recorded currency transaction gains (losses) of $( 45,177 ) and $ 58,426 for the years ended December 31, 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 are taxed in accordance with applicable Mexican tax law. Uncertain Tax Position The Company is subject to income taxes in the U.S. and other foreign jurisdictions, with respect to which some of the outcome is uncertain. The evaluation of the Company’s uncertain tax positions involves significant judgment in the interpretation and application of GAAP and complex domestic and international tax laws. We establish reserves to remove some or all of the tax benefit of any of our tax positions at the time we determine that it becomes uncertain based upon one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is not "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but for a lesser amount, or (3) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, but not in the financial period in which the tax position was originally taken. For purposes of evaluating whether or not a tax position is uncertain, (1) we presume the tax position will be examined by the relevant taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information; (2) the technical merits of a tax position are derived from authorities such as legislation and statutes, legislative intent, regulations, rulings and case law and their applicability to the facts and circumstances of the tax position; and (3) each tax position is evaluated without consideration of the possibility of offset or aggregation with other tax positions taken. Although management believes the Company’s reserves are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these uncertainties will not be different from that which is reflected in the Company’s reserves. A number of years may elapse before a particular uncertain tax position is audited and finally resolved or when a tax assessment is raised. The number of years subject to tax assessments varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. Any tax benefit that is or has been reserved because of a failure to meet the "more likely than not" recognition threshold would be recognized in income tax expense in the first interim period when the uncertainty disappears under any one of the following conditions: (1) the tax position is "more likely than not" to be sustained, (2) the tax position, amount, and/or timing is ultimately settled through negotiation or litigation, or (3) the statute of limitations for the tax position has expired. 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 consolidated financial statements. The Company’s comprehensive income 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. Adjustments to the provisional sales prices are made to take into account the mark-to-market changes based on the forward prices of metals until final settlement occurs. The changes in price between the provisional sales price and final sales price are considered an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of the concentrate at the quoted metal prices at the time of delivery. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through revenue at final settlement. Market changes in the prices of metals between the delivery and final settlement dates will result in adjustments to revenues related to previously recorded sales of concentrate. The chief risk associated with the recognition of sales on a provisional basis is the fluctuation (if any) between the estimated quantities of the precious metals based on the initial assay and the actual recovery from treatment and processing. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were $ 9,350,000 and $ 9,250,000 , respectively of revenue recognized during the year 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. Derivative Financial Instruments Certain warrants are treated as derivative financial liabilities. The estimated fair value, based on the Black-Scholes model, is adjusted on a quarterly basis with gains or losses recognized in the statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The Black-Scholes model is based on significant assumptions such as volatility, dividend yield, and expected term. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, note payable and installment notes payable and derivative liabilities. The carrying amount of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and note payable approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these items. The carrying amount of installment notes payable debt approximates fair value due to the relationship between the interest rate on installment notes payable debt and the Company’s incremental risk adjusted borrowing rate. The fair value of derivative liabilities is based on the Black-Scholes model. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Earnings (loss) per share attributable to the common equity holders of the Company 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 per share are 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 the diluted earnings per share computation in periods where the Company has incurred a net loss, as their effect would be considered anti-dilutive. The Company’s Series C Preferred Stock and related outstanding dividends are convertible into 2,853,721 shares of Common Stock at December 31, 2023. The Company’s Series D Preferred Stock and related outstanding dividends are convertible into 820,800 shares of common stock at December 31, 2023. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023, the Company had warrants outstanding to purchase 892,165 shares of common stock. These shares related to these potentially dilutive common shares are included in the weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are excluded for the year ended December 31, 2023, as including them would be anti-dilutive.

Diluted Earnings Per Share $ 0.29 Related Party Transactions FASB ASC 850 "Related Party Disclosures" requires companies to include in their consolidated 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 which 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 is also a related party. Significant Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. These judgments, estimates and assumptions are regularly evaluated and are based on management’s experience and knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances. While management believes the estimates to be reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates and could impact future results of operations and cash flows. The areas which require significant judgment and estimates that management has made at the financial reporting date, that could result in a material change to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities, in the event actual results differ from the assumptions made, relate to, but are not limited to the following: Significant judgments: • the determination of income tax is inherently complex and requires making certain estimates and assumptions about future events; • quantitative and qualitative factors used in the assessment of impairment of the Company’s mineral property; • the analysis of resource calculations, drill results, etc. which can impact the Company’s assessment of impairment, and provisions, if any, for environmental rehabilitation and restoration; and • The valuation of derivatives liabilities requires management to determine the most appropriate valuation model and inputs to the valuation model. Recently Issued Accounting Standards In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” , which modifies the rules on income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (1) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (2) the income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (3) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early |
