Gold Resource Corporation Extends Arista Vein System High-Grade With Intercepts Including 2 Meters of 6.68 g/t Gold and 864 g/t Silver

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 09, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gold Resource Corp. (NYSE American:GORO) (the “Company”) today announced the northwest expansion of the Arista Mine’s Arista vein system with twelve additional step-out and infill drill holes. Intercepts include 2.00 meters of 6.68 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 864 g/t silver; 2.08 meters of 1.98 g/t gold and 1,583 g/t silver; and 1.55 meters of 9.36 g/t gold and 75 g/t silver. Gold Resource Corp. is a gold and silver producer, developer and explorer with operations in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, USA. The Company has returned $110 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since commercial production commenced July 1, 2010 and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.

From two underground exploration drill pads located on level 4 in the Arista Mine’s Arista vein system, twelve drill holes intercepted multiple veins including Splay 31, Santa Cecilia, Alta and additional new veins yet to be named (see table and map below). These drill holes extend the known mineralization of the Arista vein system along strike to the northwest and both up and down-dip. The veins in this area of the Arista Mine remain open.

Drill highlights include (m=meters, g/t=gram per tonne; full drill table below):

Hole# 517110, step-out hole extending Splay 31 strike length by 50 meters to northwest:

• 1.55m of 9.36 g/t gold, 75 g/t silver, 0.28% copper, 0.24% lead, 0.55% zinc
  incl. 0.30m of 34.40 g/t gold, 48 g/t silver, 0.22% copper, 0.31% lead, 0.70% zinc

Hole# 517111, step-down hole extending Santa Cecilia down-dip by 55 meters to the northwest:

• 8.92m of 1.68 g/t gold, 51 g/t silver, 0.34% copper, 3.06% lead, 8.91% zinc
  incl. 1.59m of 5.21 g/t gold, 98 g/t silver, 0.63% copper, 5.04% lead, 9.69% zinc

Hole# 517138, step-up hole extending Splay 31 up-dip by 65 meters above previously mined stopes to the southeast:

• 5.50m of 2.96 g/t gold, 436 g/t silver, 0.29% copper, 0.10% lead, 0.22% zinc
  incl. 2.00m of 6.68 g/t gold, 864 g/t silver, 0.44% copper, 0.14% lead, 0.19% zinc

“It is great to see the Arista vein system’s mineralization expand again to the northwest and both up and down-dip within this swarm of veins,” stated Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration for Gold Resource Corp.. “The known veins in this area had previously pinched down in width and to see them begin to swell again to form a new ore-shoot, along with adding new additional veins, is exciting. We look forward to testing the extensions of both these known and yet to be named veins as the Arista Mine continues to grow.”
