Section 1 - Conflict Minerals Disclosure

Item 1.01 Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report


Dynasil Corporation of America evaluated its current product
lines and determined that certain products we manufacture or
contract to manufacture contained conflict minerals, as defined
by paragraph (d)(3) of Item 1.01 of Form SD (the "Conflict
Minerals"), and that these Conflict Minerals were necessary to
the functionality or production of those products. As a result,
Dynasil conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry (RCOI)
to determine whether any of the Conflict Minerals contained in
Dynasil's products originated in the Democratic Republic of the
Congo or any adjoining country (the "Covered Countries") or were
from recycled or scrap sources.

Our RCOI consisted of the following:

1.  Educating our internal employees about Conflict Minerals and
    our reporting obligation;
2.  Listing all products and the component parts and materials
    containing Conflict Minerals, or using engineering knowledge, that
    would be expected to use Conflict Minerals during production;
3.  Excluding parts which were manufactured before 2016 since
    any Conflict Minerals contained in these products were smelted
    before 2016;
4.  Identifying the suppliers from which we purchase Conflict
    Minerals;
5.  Communicating our sourcing policy and commitments to our
    suppliers;
6.  Educating our suppliers about the Conflict Minerals
    reporting obligation;
7.  Requesting information from our suppliers regarding the
    Conflict Mineral content of the components they provide and their
    knowledge on the source of any Conflict Minerals, including
    whether the Conflict Minerals come from recycled or scrap sources
    (the "Survey"); and
8.  Collecting and analyzing information from suppliers who
    responded to the Survey.

We identified and contacted a total of eleven suppliers of
Conflict Mineral related products and materials.  All of these
suppliers responded to our request for country of origin
information, although not all of these suppliers were able to
provide the actual country of origin.  Upon completion of the
RCOI, we were unable to determine that none of the Conflict
Minerals contained in our products originated in the Covered
Countries or were from recycled or scrap sources.

For this reason, Dynasil has filed a Conflict Minerals Report as
Exhibit 1.01 to this Form SD. A copy of the Conflict Minerals
Report is publicly available at: www.dynasil.com under
"Corporate Governance".

Item 1.02 Exhibit

A copy of our Conflict Minerals Report is filed as Exhibit 1.01 to
this Form SD.

DYNASIL CORPORATION OF AMERICA

        Chief Financial Officer

                                                           Exhibit 1.01
              Dynasil Corporation of America
                 Conflict Minerals Report
For the reporting period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016

This Conflict Minerals Report (the "Report") of Dynasil
Corporation of America ("Dynasil" or the "Company") has
been prepared pursuant to Rule 13p-1 and Form SD (the
"Rule") promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 for the reporting period January 1, 2016 to December
31, 2016.

The Rule requires disclosure of certain information when a
company manufactures or contracts to manufacture products
for which the minerals specified in the Rule are necessary
to the functionality or production of those products. The
specified minerals, which we collectively refer to in this
Report as the "Conflict Minerals," are gold, columbite-
tantalite (coltan), cassiterite and wolframite, including
their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and
tungsten. The "Covered Countries" for the purposes of the
Rule and this Report are the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, the Republic of the Congo, the Central African
Republic, South Sudan, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania,
Zambia and Angola.

As described in this Report, certain of the Company's
operations manufacture, or contract to manufacture,
products for which the Conflict Minerals are necessary to
the functionality or production of those products.

Description of the Company's Products Covered by this
Report

This Report relates to products: (i) for which Conflict
Minerals are necessary to the functionality or production
of that product; (ii) that were manufactured, or
contracted to be manufactured, by the Company; and (iii)
for which the manufacture was completed during calendar
year 2016.

These products, which are referred to in this Report
collectively as the "Covered Products," are the following:

1.	Optical thin films
2.	Crystals for X-ray detection
3.	Optical gratings
4.	Optical filters
5.	Radiation detection instruments

RCOI and Due Diligence

The Company's supply chain with respect to the Covered
Products is complex, and there are many third parties in
the supply chain between the ultimate manufacture of the
Covered Products and the original sources of Conflict
Minerals. In this regard, the Company does not purchase
Conflict Minerals directly from mines, smelters or
refiners. The Company must therefore rely on its suppliers
to provide information regarding the origin of Conflict
Minerals that are included in the Covered Products.
Moreover, the Company believes that the smelters and
refiners of the Conflict Minerals are best situated to
identify the sources of Conflict Minerals, and therefore
has taken steps to identify the applicable smelters and
refiners of Conflict Minerals in the Company's supply
chain.

Conflict Mineral Policy

Dynasil adopted a policy relating to the Conflict Minerals
(the "Company Policy"), incorporating the standards set
forth in OECD Guidance. The Company Policy outlines the
Company's commitment to the responsible sourcing of its
products and its expectations that its suppliers will be
similarly committed to responsible sourcing in the supply
chain.  The Company Policy states, among other things, that
suppliers: (i) should not supply us with any products or
other materials that directly or indirectly finance or
benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries; (ii) are
expected to source Conflict Minerals only from sources that
are DRC conflict free; (iii) should develop policies, due
diligence processes and management systems that are
reasonably designed to prevent products or materials that
are not DRC conflict free from entering the Company's
supply chain; and (iv) are expected to take steps to
identify the smelter, refiner or mine from which Conflict
Minerals originate, and to provide information to the
Company necessary to facilitate its compliance efforts with
respect to the Rule.

Our policy is publicly available on our website at
www.dynasil.com under "Corporate Governance".

RCOI

The Company conducted a good faith reasonable country of
origin inquiry ("RCOI") regarding the Conflict Minerals as
described in the Company's Form SD to which this Report is
an exhibit. This good faith RCOI was designed to determine
whether any of the Conflict Minerals originated in the
Covered Countries and whether any of the Conflict Minerals
may be from recycled or scrap sources. As a result of the
RCOI, the Company was unable to determine that none of the
Conflict Minerals contained in the Covered Products
originated in the Covered Countries or were from recycled
or scrap sources.
Due Diligence Process
Based on the results of the RCOI, the Company exercised due
diligence on the source and chain of custody of the
Conflict Minerals. The Company's due diligence measures
have been designed to conform to the framework in the
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development Due
Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chain of Minerals
from Conflict-Affected and High Risk Areas: Second Edition,
including the related supplements on gold, tin, tantalum
and tungsten (the "OECD Guidance").

The Company's due diligence process was designed to both
gather information on the country of origin and to educate
our internal staff and suppliers regarding this initiative.
Our due diligence process is based on the following five-
step framework provided by the OECD Guidance:

*	Establishing strong company management systems
*	Identifying and assessing risks in the supply chain
*	Designing and implementing a strategy to respond to
        identified risks
*	Carrying out an independent third-party audit of
        supply chain due diligence at identified points in the
        supply chain
*	Reporting annually on supply chain due diligence

Under the Rule, the independent third-party audit
contemplated by the OECD Guidance is not required until the
Company's report for the period ending December 31, 2017.

Findings and Conclusions

Based on the information obtained pursuant to our RCOI and
the due diligence process, Dynasil does not have sufficient
information with respect to the Covered Products to
determine the country of origin of all the Conflict
Minerals in the Covered Products; however, based on the
information that was provided by the responding suppliers
and otherwise obtained by Dynasil through the due diligence
process, the Company believes that, to the extent
reasonably determinable by the Company, the facilities that
were used to process the Conflict Minerals contained in
some of the Covered Products included the smelters and
refiners listed below:

Our efforts to determine the mine or location of origin
of the Conflict Minerals in the Covered Products
consisted of the due diligence measures described in this
Report. In particular, because independent third party
audit programs validate whether sufficient evidence
exists regarding country, mine and/or location of origin
of the Conflict Minerals that the audited smelter or
refiner facilities have processed, we relied on the
information made available by such programs for the
smelters and refiners in our supply chain.  Dynasil was
unable to ascertain the country of origin and/or chain of
custody of all necessary Conflict Minerals processed by
these facilities because, for this reporting period,
certain smelter and refiner facilities had not yet
received a "conflict free" designation from an
independent third party audit program.


Risk Mitigation Steps

Dynasil has taken and expects to continue to take the
following steps, among others, to improve its due
diligence measures and to further mitigate the risk that
the necessary Conflict Minerals contained in our products
benefit armed groups in the Covered Countries:

-	continue to engage suppliers to obtain current,
accurate and complete information about the supply
chain;

-	encourage suppliers to implement responsible
sourcing and to have them encourage smelters and
refiners to obtain a "conflict-free" designation
from an independent, third-party auditor; and

-	engaging in industry initiatives encouraging
"conflict-free" supply chains.
