Gold Resource Corporation
Gold Resource Corporation was organized under the laws of the State of Colorado
on August 24, 1998. We are a producer of metal concentrates that contain gold,
silver, copper, lead and zinc, and doré containing gold and silver at
the Aguila Project in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico (“Oaxaca”).
The Aguila Project includes the Aguila open pit mine, which ceased operations
in February 2011, and the Arista underground mine, which is currently in operation.
We also perform exploration and evaluation work on our portfolio of precious
and base metal exploration properties in Oaxaca and Nevada, United States of
America (“Nevada”) and continue to evaluate other properties for
possible acquisition.
We have two units in North America, the Oaxaca Mining Unit and the Nevada Mining
Unit. The majority of our assets are located at our Oaxaca Mining Unit, located
on our Aguila Project, including our Aguila milling and smelting facility and
Arista underground mine. The Aguila milling and smelting facility produces metal
concentrates and doré from ore mined from the Arista Mine. All of our
production and revenue currently comes from our Oaxaca Mining Unit.
The Aguila Project includes approximately 30,074 hectares of mining concessions,
an access road from a major highway, haul roads, a mill and smelting facility,
and adjoining buildings, an assay lab, an open pit and underground mine, tailings
facilities and other infrastructure.
We commenced mining and milling operations at the Aguila Project in July 2010.
The mill is located approximately 0.5 kilometers from the Aguila open pit mine.
During 2010, we also began development of an underground mine to access the
Arista deposit’s vein system. The Arista underground mine is located approximately
two kilometers from the mill. Mining of the open pit was essentially completed
in 2010. Approximately one-half of the open pit material was processed in 2010
and the Company continued to process the stockpiles in 2016. The vast majority
of our production from 2011 to present has been from the Arista Mine.
Our operations in Oaxaca are conducted through our Mexican subsidiary, Don
David Gold Mexico S.A. de C.V. (“DDGM”). Our Nevada exploration
and evaluation work is performed through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, GRC
Nevada Inc. and Walker Lane Minerals Corp. (“Walker Lane”).
Our principal executive offices are located at 2886 Carriage Manor Point, Colorado
Springs, Colorado 80906, and our telephone number is (303) 320-7708. We maintain
