[{"type":"text","content":"Dynasty in Legal Action Over 536,000 oz of Gold in XinjiangVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 25, 2021 / Dynasty Gold Corp. (TSXV:DYG)(FWB:D5G)(OTC PINK:DGDCF) (\"Dynasty\" or the \"Company\") is responding to two articles published by the Globe and Mail on January 18 and January 20 about Dynasty's mining operation in Xinjiang, China.
