On June 23, 2025, DynaResource, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the engagement of David Keough through his consulting company, Vulcan’s Forge Capital Pty. Ltd.(“Consultant”) to perform the functions of a Chief Operating Officer.
Mr. Keough, 62, is an experienced mining executive with over 35 years of experience in the mining industry, spanning exploration, engineering, mine operations (open pit and underground), corporate development, contracting, consulting, project development, and construction. His extensive geographic and corporate experience includes operations across Latin America, North America, Europe, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region. He has direct experience across a range of commodities, including precious metals, base metals, mineral sands, and lithium, and has held a number of executive director roles with both private and public companies in Australia and Canada. Mr. Keough also brings broad board-level experience, having served on audit, sustainability, and compensation committees. During his career, Mr. Keough worked with Placer Dome (Australia) and Minera Alumbrera (Argentina) and spent six years with Goldcorp Inc. in senior corporate development and operational roles across multiple jurisdictions, prior to his appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Crocodile Gold. He later served as Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of Goldrock Inc., which successfully permitted the Lindero Gold Project in Argentina and was subsequently acquired by Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. Since January 2021, Mr. Keough has provided mining consultancy services through Vulcan’s Forge Capital Pty. Ltd. Mr. Keough holds a Bachelor of Science degree and a postgraduate diploma in Mineral Economics from James Cook University (Queensland). He is a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and an accredited Chartered Professional (Management) and holds Open Pit Mine Manager’s Certificates of Competency in Western Australia.
In connection with the foregoing engagement, on August 12, 2025, the Company granted 450,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to Consultant, which RSUs vest in three equal annual installments on each of the first three anniversaries following the grant date.
Additionally, in connection with the foregoing engagement, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Consultant dated February 26, 2026, but made effective as of August 15, 2025 (the “Consulting Agreement”). Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, Consultant will be paid a monthly consulting fee of $20,000 and is eligible to receive an annual discretionary cash bonus, as determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”), of up to 50% of the total consulting fees billed by Consultant to the Company during the prior calendar year. Furthermore, as determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, Consultant may also be eligible to receive equity awards under the Company’s equity incentive plans. Finally, Consultant is also entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses it incurs while performing the required services under the Consulting Agreement, subject to providing such documents, expense statements, and/or other supporting information as the Company may reasonably request.
Under the terms of the Consulting Agreement, if the Company terminates the Consulting Agreement at any time without cause (as defined in the Consulting Agreement), Consultant will be entitled to receive, in addition to any accrued compensation, an amount equal to nine months of consulting fees plus the prorated portion of Consultant’s annual target bonus for such nine month period. Additionally, in the event the Consulting Agreement is terminated by the Company without cause or by Consultant for good reason (as defined in the Consulting Agreement) within 12 months following a change in control (as defined in the Consulting Agreement), the Company is obligated to pay Consultant an amount equal to 18 months of consulting fees at the rate in effect at termination, plus 18 months of bonus, calculated on a prorated basis based on Consultant’s annual target bonus.
The foregoing description of the Consulting Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Consulting Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
