Business Wire
Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American: GORO) (the “Company”)
announces its preliminary third quarter results that includes the
sale of 3,982 ounces of gold and 208,905 ounces of silver resulting
in total gold equivalent (AuEq) ounces of 6,532. Additionally, the
company sold 2,571 tonnes of zinc, 245 tonnes of copper, and 947
tonnes of lead. During the nine months ending September 30, 2023,
the company sold 24,306 AuEq ounces, 8,772 tonnes of zinc, 904
tonnes of copper, and 3,681 tonnes of lead.
Allen Palmiere, President and CEO said “The quarter has
presented some challenges beyond our control including decreased
metal prices and the strengthening of the Mexican peso against the
US Dollar. Production during the quarter was on par with the last
four quarters, however average grade decreased as was expected in
our 2023 mine plan. We continue to identify and implement
opportunities for cost reductions and operational efficiencies. We
continue to be encouraged by the positive results of our 2023 drill
program at the Don David Gold Mine that demonstrate the potential
to increase our resources and reserves that could lead to future
increased production1.”

1 See the press release titled “Gold Resource Corporation
Reports Continued Positive Drill Results at Don David Gold Mine”
published September 12, 2023. The press release can be found at
www.goldresourcecorporation.com/news. 2 Average metal prices
realized vary from the market metal prices due to final settlement
adjustments from our provisional invoices. Our average metal prices
realized will therefore differ from the average market metal prices
in most cases. 3 Combined tonnes in Q1 and Q2 2022 and Q1 2023
includes 1,043, 215, and 1,060 purchased tonnes, respectively,
related to a collaborative initiative with a local community to
ensure the proper environmental treatment and storage of the
material. 4 Based on actual days the mill operated during the
period. 5 The difference between what we report as "Metal
Production" and "Metal Sold" is attributable to the difference
between the quantities of metals contained in the concentrates we
produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for
according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also
arise from inventory changes related to shipping schedules, or
variances in ore grades and recoveries which impact the amount of
metals contained in concentrates produced and sold.
