Gold Resource Corporation's La Arista High-Grade Mineralization Extended Deeper

Posted on: Tuesday, 13 November 2007, 06:00 CST

Gold Resource Corporation (GRC) (OTCBB: GORO) (FRANKFURT: GIH) reports additional deep La Arista high-grade intercepts including 17.40 g/t (0.56 oz/tonne) gold equivalent* over 1 meter within its El Aguila Project in Oaxaca, Mexico. All La Arista mineralization is now correlated with a distinctive geomagnetic high, based on results of a recent geophysical ground geomagnetic survey.

Gold Resource Corporation recently completed a geomagnetic survey over an approximate 2 kilometer area of its El Aguila Project. The geomagnetic survey, carried out by Zonge Geophysical of Tucson, AZ, indicates several anomalies. Two significant anomalies occur in the La Arista area. The first anomaly in the La Arista area is located over the highest grades and most extensive widths of mineralization drilled to date (See map 1). Hole #7080 intercepts include 7.5 meters of 34.27 g/tonne (1.10 oz/tonne) gold equivalent (AuEq)* within one of three zones totaling 35 meters of 17.21 grams/tonne (0.55 oz/tonne) AuEq*. Hole #7083 intercepts include 11 meters of 22.04 g/tonne (0.71 oz/tonne) AuEq*. The second important geomagnetic anomaly in this area is located about 200 meters south east from the first anomaly (See map 1) and in an area not yet explored.

Gold Resource Corporation's president William W. Reid stated, "We continue to be impressed with the La Arista area as to the width and high-grade nature of the mineralization. Additional deeper high-grade intercepts in essentially the bottom of Hole #7083 indicate we have not yet found the vertical limits to the mineralization. In addition, it bodes well that the recent geophysical survey indicates two significant geomagnetic highs in this area that potentially indicate that this mineralization has an extent and depth much greater than we previously anticipated. These distinctive geophysical anomalies may represent igneous intrusives at depth that could play a role in the source and distribution of the mineralization."

Hole #7083 recent assays include:

Hole 7083 (-45 deg)

-- 1 meter of 13.10 g/t gold, 121 g/t silver, 0.23% copper, 0.22% lead, 0.48% zinc (or a gold equivalent* value of 17.40 g/t or 0.56 oz/tonne) and -- 2 meters of 2.96 g/t gold, 664.0 g/t silver, 0.45% copper, 0.37% lead, 0.71% zinc (or a gold equivalent* value of 19.53 g/t or 0.63 oz/tonne)

La Arista Hole #'s 7083 and 7080 intercepts include:

Mr. Reid continued, "Drilling, and now geomagnetics, continues to bolster our belief that the El Aguila Project is a potentially very large, robust and high-grade epithermal system."
