Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) (the Company) today announced preliminary 2013 fourth quarter and year-end mill production of approximately 84,835 precious metal gold equivalent (AuEq) ounces, in-line with 2013 annual production target range. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer with operations in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company has returned over $92 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since declaring production July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.
Gold Resource Corporation’s preliminary mill production results for 2013 totaled approximately 84,835 ounces AuEq, which included approximately 20,687 ounces AuEq produced during the fourth quarter. Full financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year-end 2013 will be available in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
“We are pleased 2013 production was within our targeted annual production range,” Gold Resource Corporation CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid, stated. “We achieved this in spite of a weakening gold to silver ratio working against our precious metal gold equivalent production for the year. We also achieved our goal during a significant expansion year for both the Aguila mill and Arista mine, while sustaining various mill shut down days for construction and maintenance during the fourth quarter. With nominal mill production capacity increased to 1,500 tonnes per day, our primary focus continues on mine development targeting increased tonnages over the 2013 average processing rate of approximately 866 tonnes per day. We are finalizing the Company’s 2014 Outlook and targeted production range and remain optimistic our excellent Oaxaca team will continue to achieve our future production goals.”
