Gold Resource Corporation Reports Additional High-Grade Drill Intercepts at Switchback Including 8.19 Meters of 9.07 G/T Gold and 7.96 Meters of 6.90 G/T Gold, 618 G/T Silver

The high-grade polymetallic Switchback vein system expands the currently producing Arista Mine mineralization (see map below). The Company is currently developing a second ramp to access Switchback and targets to crosscut and mine this mineral during the fourth quarter of 2016, depending on drift progression, rock competency, potential water courses and CO2 gas that may be encountered during development. Thus far no appreciable amounts of water nor gas have been encountered, though the Company does expect water management to be necessary in the future.
These infill drill results from Switchback confirm continuity of modeled veins. The Switchback vein system remains open in all directions, and the Company plans to resume exploration drilling once development has reached this vein system in the coming months. At December 31, 2015, the Company reported mineralized material at Switchback in excess of 630,000 tonnes.
Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration, stated, “Results for these three Switchback drill intercepts from the latest round of infill drilling continue to define multiple parallel high-grade polymetallic veins. This drilling was designed to assist mine planning for first direct vein development at Switchback. We expect to resume drilling the extensions of this expanding deposit in the coming months, with a goal of adding additional mineral along strike and depth.”
