Gold Resource Corporation extends Arista deposit high-grade mineralization outside previously drilled mineralized envelope intersecting 7.6 meters of 9.92 g/t gold and 129 g/t silver

Denver, Colorado-based engineering firm of Pincock Allen & Holt (PAH) is engaged to prepare Gold Resource Corporation’s industry standard formal resource report. This resource report is being done to the Canadian NI 43-101 standards as such a report is required if the Company elects in the future to apply for a secondary listing in Canada.

The Company has three surface drill rigs and one underground drill rig at the Arista deposit dedicated to ongoing mine development and resource definition drilling. The drill program is focused on tightening in-fill drill hole spacing as well as step-out drilling to expand the deposit to be used in the NI 43-101Technical Report.

Hole# 111717 is a step-out hole at approximately 520 meter elevation (~ 650 meters from the surface) and approximately 50 meters outside the previously drilled envelope of mineralized material intercepting* (intercepts down hole, not true width):

• 7.65 meters of 9.92 g/t gold, 129 g/t silver, 0.86% copper, 2.68% lead, 7.86% zinc
  and
• 7.28 meters of 6.19 g/t gold, 419 g/t silver, 1.55% copper, 2.61% lead, 5.27% zinc

The step-out drilling continues to confirm vein continuity and high-grade mineralization.

Arista Deposit in-fill drill highlights include* (intercepts down hole, not true width):

Hole # 111712

• 5.03 meters of 20.28 g/t gold, 559 g/t silver, 0.84% copper, 12.38% lead, 17.34% zinc
  and
• 5.36 meters of 7.49 g/t gold, 660 g/t silver, 0.86% copper, 2.51% lead, 10.82% zinc

Hole # 111713

• 9.79 meters of 14.89g/t gold, 499g/t silver, 1.08% copper, 15.41% lead, 24.69% zinc
  and
• 4.47 meters of 9.40 g/t gold, 292 g/t silver, 0.86% copper, 1.27% lead, 13.28% zinc

Hole # 111716

• 14.31 meters of 6.96 g/t gold, 394 g/t silver, 0.58 % copper, 1.28 % lead, 5.08% zinc

Hole # 111715

• 3.98 meters of 7.75 g/t gold, 543 g/t silver, 0.75% copper, 1.36% lead, 4.99% zinc

Hole # 111710

• 5.53 meters of 6.46 g/t gold, 542 g/t silver, 0.29 % copper, 9.44% lead, 21.68% zinc

Drill holes 111712 and 111713 intersected the Baja and Arista veins at approximately 700 meters elevation (~300 from surface) corresponding to the Arista mine’s future development levels 10 and 11 (see map). Mining is currently taking place on levels 7 and above. Holes 111715 and 111716 tighten drill hole spacing to approximately 50 meters between two holes that were previously drilled 150 meters apart further demonstrating continuity of mineralization.

“A step-out hole intersecting seven and one half meters of over nine grams gold confirms the continuation of mineralization outside our previously drilled envelope,” stated Gold Resource Corporation’s President, Mr. Jason Reid. “This gold intercept and other confirmation intercepts, including five meters of over twenty grams per tonne gold and one of over two kilograms per tonne silver, demonstrate and underscore the Arista vein system’s high-grade gold and silver values. We are pleased with the continued high-grade gold intercepts that show this is a significant gold mine and that we are fortunate we also have high-grade silver and base metals. We expect the base metal by-product credits of copper, lead and zinc to ultimately generate enough revenue to pay for all precious metal production costs.”
