Gold Resource Corporation Reports Positive Drill Results at DDGM With the Potential to Improve the Near to Mid-Term Mine Plan

DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American: GORO) (the �Company”, “We”, “Our” or “GRC”) confirms the potential to add higher grade resources from the Three Sisters and Marena vein systems, as well as from the south-eastern deep extension of the Soledad and Sagrario vein systems where recent drill intercepts have identified precious and base metal mineralization within 100 to 120 meters from existing workings.

“The results of the Q4 2022 drilling are very promising and have confirmed the ongoing 2023 drill program is on the right track to potentially deliver higher grade resources into the near- and mid-term mine plan,” stated Allen Palmier, President and CEO for the Corporation. “With improved access and ventilation our team can now aggressively continue with the underground infill and expansion drilling to follow-up these positive results.”

Our 2023 exploration objectives are to identify and define mineral resources from the Three Sisters, South Soledad and Sagrario and Marena vein systems. We will also work to upgrade inferred resources by continuing to conduct infill drilling.

See Exhibit 1: View of the Arista, Three Sisters and Switchback Deposits (looking north-west).

Three Sisters Vein System

The Three Sisters vein system is located between the Arista and Switchback vein systems. Drilling is currently underway, in the upper parts of Three Sisters, from recently built drill stations on Level 3 in the north-west Switchback system. The Three Sisters vein system continues to remain open to the north-west up-dip as well as at depth. Most notably, intercepts in Hole No. 522055 are significantly outside the current resource shell and were key in confirming the direction of the 2023 drill program. The 2023 drilling program will progress from Level 3 while 200 meters of additional drift development continues to the north-west where phase 2 drilling will take place in the second half of the year. Highlights from holes drilled in 2022 at Three Sisters are as follow:

• Hole No. 522004 (Sandy 2):
  • 3.33 m @ 2.20 g/t Au, 874 g/t Ag, 0.65% Cu, 1.85% Pb, 2.99% Zn
    • Includes: 1.41 m @ 4.60 g/t Au, 1820 g/t Ag, 1.32% Cu, 4.21% Pb, 6.79% Zn
• Hole No. 522053 (Sandy 1):
  • 3.30 m @ 0.25 g/t Au, 41 g/t Ag, 0.07% Cu, 0.60% Pb, 3.59% Zn
    • Includes: 1.07 m @ 0.75 g/t Au, 20 g/t Ag, 0.18% Cu, 0.94% Pb, 4.29% Zn
• Hole No. 522055 (Sandy 2):
  • 7.13 m @ 1.54 g/t Au, 175 g/t Ag, 0.21% Cu, 1.12% Pb, 2.17 %Zn
    • Includes: 1.30 m @ 2.88 g/t Au, 484 g/t Ag, 0.51 % Cu, 3.02% Pb, 5.82% Zn

See Exhibit 2: Plan View of Three Sisters Vein System showing holes referenced above.

Marena Vein System

Exploration drilling during the fourth quarter of 2022, from drill stations at Level 20 located in the footwall of the Switchback vein system, successfully intercepted the Marena vein system along strike to the north-west, approximately 100 meters below the existing Arista mine workings. Infill drilling in the growing Marena vein system continues to show strength, structure and economic potential depth beyond areas previously modelled and outside the current resource shell. During 2023, exploration drilling will continue testing the down-dip and north-western extensions of mineralization of the Marena system (Arista mine) in conjunction with the necessary exploration development. Highlights from Marena drill results include:

• Hole No. 522008 (Marena):
  • 5.42 m @ 0.15 g/t Au, 117 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu, 3.06% Pb, 8.78% Zn (Marena HW split)
  • 4.98 m @ 0.02 g/t Au, 177 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 3.05% Pb, 9.10% Zn (Marena)
    • Includes: 1.22 m @ 0.03 g/t Au, 488 g/t Ag, 0.04% Cu, 9.70% Pb, 18.45% Zn
• Hole No. 522051 (Marena)
  • 3.43 m @ 0.04 g/t Au, 37 g/t Ag, 0.01% Cu, 0.27% Pb, 5.8% Zn
    • Includes: 1.40 m @ 0.01 g/t Au, 77 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 0.48% Pb, 12.25% Zn

See Exhibit 3: Plan View of Marena Vein System showing holes referenced above.

South Soledad & Sagrario Vein Systems

Infill drilling during the fourth quarter of 2022 successfully confirmed the continuity and strength of the South Soledad and Sagrario vein systems along strike to the south-east and down-dip from the current Switchback deposit resource shell, giving strong indications there is potential to discover and expand additional polymetallic mineralization plunging steeply in a south-easterly direction. Infill drilling is currently ongoing in this zone which is pending incorporation into the 2023 resource estimate. During the second quarter of 2023, exploration drill plans include step-out holes at 100-meter increments along the South Soledad and Sagrario veins with expectations to add resources. Highlights of fourth quarter 2022 infill drill results for the South Soledad and Sagrario veins are as follows:

• Hole No. 522040 (Sagrario & South Soledad):
  • 4.27 m @ 7.93 g/t Au, 111 g/t Ag, 1.25% Cu, 3.85% Pb, 15.19% Zn (Sagrario)
    • Includes: 1.47 m @ 20.90 g/t Au, 173 g/t Ag, 2.10% Cu, 8.15% Pb, 24.50% Zn
  • 1.92 m @ 1.81 g/t Au, 40 g/t Ag, 1.09% Cu, 5.50% Pb, 12.31% Zn (Soledad)
    • Includes: 1.29 m @ 2.65 g/t Au, 47 g/t Ag, 1.24% Cu, 7.41% Pb, 17.20% Zn
• Hole No. 522043 (Sagrario & South Soledad):
  • 5.50 m @ 2.10 g/t Au, 121 g/t Ag, 0.43% Cu, 1.63% Pb, 7.21% Zn (Sagrario)
    • Includes: 0.90 m @ 12.25 g/t Au, 148 g/t Ag, 0.92% Cu, 5.74% Pb, 13.50% Zn
  • 3.99 m @ 1.83 g/t Au, 19 g/t Ag, 0.69% Cu, 0.46% Pb, 1.79% Zn (Soledad)
    • Includes: 2.14 m @ 2.35g/t Au, 24 g/t Ag, 0.86% Cu, 0.67% Pb, 2.45% Zn
