Gold Resource Corporation's president, William W. Reid, stated, "La Arista continues to return high-grade mineralization, particularly the 3485 grams per tonne silver in Hole 7079. This is the highest 1 meter silver intercept to date at the El Aguila Project. In addition, Hole 7207 appears to be confirming the possible high-grade shallow open pit from earlier drilling. Mineralized intercepts start at 10.4 meters and include 1 kilogram of silver at a depth of only 48 meters. This is congruent with the previously released Hole 7023, located 50 meters west, where we intercepted 1.1 kilograms silver at 10 meters of depth."

"Drilling continues to bolster our belief that the El Aguila Project is a potentially very large, robust and high-grade epithermal system. We are consistently adding ounces and moving forward on all fronts as an emerging gold producer," concluded Mr. Reid.
