Ladies
and Gentlemen:
We
received your letter dated November 28, 2018 with comments to the referenced Annual Report on Form 10-K for DynaResource, Inc.
(the “Company”), File 000-30371. We have restated the Commission’s comment below and have included our response
to the comment:
In
response to the following enumerated comments in the Comment Letter, we respectfully submit the following responses:
Form
10-K for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2017
Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note
1. Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies
Property
Design,
Construction and Development Costs, page 57
1. We
note your disclosure that since the company has not established proven and probable reserves,
the cost incurred for the properties’ design, construction and development are
expensed as incurred. This appears to be inconsistent with your disclosure on page 42
which appears to indicate that approximately $1,273,000 of costs for the pilot mill facility
were capitalized. In addition, it appears that approximately $935,000 of similar costs
were capitalized for nine months ended September 30, 2018. Please tell us your basis
for capitalizing these costs considering that none of your properties contain resources
that satisfy the definition of proven and probable reserves.
Response:
The
Property accounting policy described in Note 1, Nature of Activities and Significant Accounting Policies, discloses that substantially
all costs, including design, engineering, construction, and installation of equipment are expensed as incurred, as the Company
has not established proven and probable reserves on any of its properties. These costs have been expensed in our financial statements
and they relate to further development of our mineral property interests.
On
page 42 of our Form 10-K we have provided a breakout of our capitalized property and equipment purchases during 2017 totaling
$1,273,500 that have been capitalized, including: a medical facility, camp and office infrastructure improvements, tailings pond
and liner improvements, new foundation for the Denver Mill, installation cost for Mill #3, other machinery and equipment and transportation
equipment. These improvements and equipment purchases are separate from mine development activities and primarily relate to assets
to process material from the mine in order to extract minerals. These assets are separate and distinct from our mine development
activities. The accounting policy to capitalize such costs we believe has also been properly disclosed on page 57 in the Property
accounting policy as follows: Trailers, heavy vehicles and other site equipment are being depreciated on a straight-line method
over estimated economic lives from 5 to 15 years. Buildings are being depreciated on straight line method over an estimated
economic life of 20 years. The approximate $1,273,500 capitalized in accordance with GAAP are properly disclosed in Note
3, Property, with increases in Camp Buildings and Improvements, Machinery and Equipment, Transportation Equipment, Office Furniture
and Fixtures, Office Equipment and Construction in Progress.
We
believe the amounts expensed and capitalized during 2017 and the first nine months of 2018 are in accordance with our accounting
policies and GAAP. We will continue to refine our disclosures in the 2018 Form 10-K to ensure our policies clearly describe our
accounting policies in accordance with GAAP.

The
Company acknowledges that the Company and its management are responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the
filing, notwithstanding any review, comments, action or absence of action by the staff of the Commission.
Respectfully,
/s/
