British Columbia's exploration sector has over 60 critical mineral projects waiting for permits.
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO–(Marketwire – Sep 27, 2011) – Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE Amex: GORO) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved a $20 million stock repurchase program. Gold Resource Corporation is a low-cost gold producer with operations in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company has returned over $25 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since declaring commercial production July 1, 2010.
Gold Resource Corporation, in response to the downward pressure on its stock, is implementing a share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company may repurchase its common shares from time to time in open market transactions at prevailing market prices. The program will be funded from available working capital. The timing and the amount of any repurchases will be determined by management based on evaluation of market conditions, share price, and other factors. This Board approved program is effective immediately, has no pre-established closing date, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any dollar amount or specific number of shares of its common stock under the program.
“Management believes that at current price levels the Company’s stock is undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity for the Company in addition to an opportunity to further reduce its already tight capital structure,” stated Gold Resource Corporation’s President, Mr. Jason Reid. “With only fifty-three million shares outstanding as a producer, in an industry where most producers have hundreds of millions of shares outstanding, this share buyback may further leverage our ability to distribute our meaningful monthly future dividends. This share repurchase program further demonstrates our commitment to deliver shareholder value.”
