09.08.2013  |  Marketwired

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO--(Marketwired - Aug 8, 2013) - Gold Resource Corp. (NYSE MKT: GORO) (the "Company") reported its production results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013 of 20,574 ounces precious metal gold equivalent ("AuEq," calculated at actual sales price ratio of 60:1). Gold Resource Corp. is a low-cost gold producer with operations in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company has returned over $86 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since production July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.

2013 Q2 HIGHLIGHTS

  • 20,574 ounces mill production, precious metal gold equivalent (AuEq)
  • 19,992 precious metal AuEq ounces sold
  • $12.5 million Cash Flow from Mine Site Operations
  • Total cash cost of $645 per ounce AuEq (including 5% royalty)
  • Dividend distributions of $6.4 million, or $0.12 per share for quarter
  • Mill expansion scheduled for year-end delivery

Overview of Q2 2013 Results from El Aguila Project

Gold Resource Corp.'s El Aguila Project produced 20,574 ounces of precious metal gold equivalent (AuEq) at a total cash cost of $645 per AuEq ounce and realized average prices of $1,386 per ounce gold and $23 per ounce silver for its sales during the second quarter. Gold and silver prices decreased 13.5% and 14.8%, respectively, from the second quarter of 2012. Cash Flow from Mine Site Operations was $12.5 million. The Company paid $6.4 million to shareholders in dividends.

"Half-way through the 2013 production year, the Company remains on track with its annual production goal, targeting a range of 80,000 to 100,000 precious metal gold equivalent ounces," stated Gold Resource Corp.'s President, Mr. Jason Reid. "With the decrease in precious metal market prices, and the gold-to-silver ratio working against us this quarter, our team was still able to deliver respectable production results. We look forward to the completion of our mill construction so we can focus our efforts on the Arista mine and increasing production tonnages to match the enhanced Aguila mill capacity. We expect a decrease in per ounce and per tonne production costs with higher mill throughput."

Mr. Reid continued, "In response to the metal price fall during the quarter, we cut our dividend by half but are pleased to have distributed to our shareholders a meaningful monthly dividend."

Below is a table of the key production statistics for our El Aguila Project during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

(1) Mill production represents metal contained in concentrates produced at the mill, which is before payable metal deductions are levied by the buyer of our concentrates. Payable metal deduction quantities are defined in our contracts with the buyer of our concentrates and represent an estimate of metal contained in the concentrates produced at our mill, for which the buyer cannot recover through the smelting process. There are inherent limitations and differences in the sampling method and assaying of estimated metal contained in concentrates that are shipped, and those contained metal estimates derived from sampling methods and assaying throughout the mill production process. The Company monitors these differences to insure that precious metal mill production quantities are materially correct. In addition, mill production quantities for the three months and six months ended March 31, 2012 do not reflect any deduction for 583 gold ounces and 45,432 silver ounces, respectively, (approximately 1,400 gold equivalent ounces) resulting from a settlement agreement with the buyer of our concentrates.
(2) A reconciliation of this Non-GAAP measure to mine cost of sales, the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, can be found below in "Non-GAAP Measures".
(3) Precious metal gold equivalent mill production for the second quarter of 2013 of 20,574 ounces differs from gold equivalent ounces sold for 2013 of 19,992 due principally to buyer (smelter) concentrate processing deductions of approximately 1,775 gold equivalent ounces and an increase in gold equivalent ounces contained in ending inventory of approximately 1,193 ounces.
(4) Precious metal gold equivalent mill production for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of 42,999 ounces differs from gold equivalent ounces sold for 2013 of 44,998 principally due to buyer (smelter) concentrate processing deductions of approximately 4,033 gold equivalent ounces and an increase in gold equivalent ounces contained in ending inventory of approximately 6,032 ounces.
