Gold Resource Corporation Drill Results Confirm Down-Dip Extension of Switchback Vein System

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 7, 2021 / Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American:GORO) (the "Company", "We", "Our" or "GRC") confirms the down-dip extension of the Switchback vein system, with interceptions identifying precious and base metal mineralization approximately 80 meters below existing workings.

Mr. Allen Palmiere, President and CEO of Gold Resource Corporation. "The results of drilling completed during the second and third quarters of 2021 have confirmed the potential for adding precious metal bearing mineralization, that is amenable to mining in the short term. Our geologists continue to focus on exploring new areas and identifying additional mineralization along strike as well as up- and down-dip of the current mine workings."

Mr. Nick Suter, Interim Vice President, Exploration commented, "Confirmation of mineralization below current mining levels in the southeastern Switchback zone, particularly the presence of high-grade gold, silver and zinc values, will enable the mine to advance development planning below current mine limits. Our objectives going forward are to upgrade mineralized material to reserves and optimize mine planning by continuing to test extensions to this zone and to the northwest of the Switchback system, including the Sandy vein as well as to conduct additional infill drilling."

Switchback drill result highlights include:

Holes were drilled from two exploration drill stations located in the footwall development of the Switchback vein system near the southeastern limits of mining. Three holes have shown strong mineralization beyond areas previously modelled (521132, 521134 and 521135). Two deep definition drill holes (521120 and 521129) intercepted significant gold and silver mineralization approximately 80 meters (four mine levels) below the existing mine limits and outside existing reserves; these are noteworthy as the deeper intersections of the Switchback system had previously only identified base metal mineralization. These intersections extend near mine, down-dip continuity further to the southeast, with the sub-parallel Soledad and Sagrario, as well as other veins intersected. Infill drill holes 521115, 521116, 521118, 521126, 521127 and 521133 were drilled within existing Soledad reserves. Two of these holes (521115 and 521116) intercepted higher gold grades than modeled.
