      Announces Final Court Approval of Settlement of Stockholder Litigation
      Matters</b></font>
    </p>
    <p>
      DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--October 24, 2013--DGSE Companies, Inc. (NYSE
      MKT: DGSE), a leading wholesaler and retailer of jewelry, diamonds, fine
      watches, and precious metal bullion and rare coin products (the
      &#8220;Company&#8221; or &#8220;DGSE&#8221;), announced today that the United States District
      Court for the Northern District of Texas has granted final approval of
      the previously announced proposed settlement of class action and
      derivative litigation relating to the Company&#8217;s previously disclosed
      accounting irregularities and subsequent restatement of financial
      results.
    </p>
    <p>
      The approved settlements resolve all issues which were pending before
      the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, in
      the two filed cases entitled Grant Barfuss, on behalf of himself and all
      others similarly situated vs. DGSE Companies, Inc.; L. S. Smith, John
      Benson and William Oyster (Civil Action No. 3:12-cv-3664), and Jason
      Farmer, Derivatively on Behalf of Nominal Defendant DGSE Companies,
      Inc., Plaintiff, v. William H. Oyster, James D. Clem, William Cordeiro,
      Craig Alan-Lee, David Rector, L. S. Smith, and John Benson, Defendants,
      and DGSE Companies, Inc., Nominal Defendant (Civil Action No.
      3:12-cv-3850).
    </p>
    <p>
      As previously disclosed, the defendants have agreed to pay $2 million to
      resolve all claims in both suits (including obligations to pay
      plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys&#8217; fees). The Company has also incurred its own
      attorneys&#8217; fees and expenses associated with finalizing the settlement.
      It is expected that approximately 90% of the total settlement amount and
      related expenses will be paid from insurance proceeds.
    </p>
    <p>
      &#8220;We are pleased to have this issue resolved and behind us,&#8221; stated James
      Vierling, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. &#8220;DGSE has
      experienced tremendous change in the last few years, and we are pleased
      to conclude this legacy issue from prior management enabling us to focus
      even more on the Company's going-forward operations. With a solid plan
      for sustainable, profitable growth, an experienced leadership team and
      strong strategic partner, we look optimistically to the future.&#8221;
