“Although 2015 proved to be another difficult and challenging year for both precious metals and precious metal producers, I am very proud that Gold Resource Corporation not only overcame many challenges, but delivered its fifth consecutive year of profitability, four of which were in bear markets,” stated Gold Resource Corporation CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. “While we watched several industry peers declare bankruptcy during 2015’s tough and volatile metal market, our Company posted annual net income of $3.1 million or $0.06 per share, returned $6.5 million back to our shareholders through dividends, and continued to invest in the Company’s future growth in Mexico and Nevada. We accomplished this without raising money and without going into debt…”

“We continue to have a positive view on the gold market. Given the meaningful increase in the gold price, we are taking a prudent step to establish a floor price for our revenues through the balance of 2016 while maintaining significant exposure to higher prices,” stated Brian Penny, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “Our unique decision to enter into the option contracts is solely a function of 2016 being our most significant year of investment at our Rainy River project. We do not have any plans to enter into any similar contracts beyond this brief nine-month period.”

En un esfuerzo por continuar la promoción de la industria minera de nuestro estado, por atraer mayor inversión extranjera, la Secretaría de Economía participa en la Convención Internacional PDAC PROSPECTORS & DEVELOPERS ASSOCIATION OF CANADA, la feria de intercambio entre inversionistas líder en el mundo para las personas, empresas y organizaciones en conexión con la exploración minera.

Catalin Chiloflischi CEO stated: “We are pleased to accept this indicative offer of an US$8 million debt financing (up to US$10 million if needed) from a well-known resource fund. The funds will be used to develop the El Compas mine and refurbish and upgrade the La Plata plant for production late this year. El Compas should be an economically robust, low cost mine with all in sustaining costs estimated at US$614 per ounce of gold equivalent. Considering the PEA was done at a gold price of US$1,100, today’s higher spot gold price should enhance our financial returns. Canarc is now on the doorstep to a much brighter future and I want to thank our shareholders for their patience and confidence. “

For our stakeholders, the Updated PFS also meets the industry’s highest and best standards with respect to water stewardship and tailings management,” stated P. Randy Reifel, President of Chesapeake.
