Gold Resource Corporation Reports Third Quarter Production of 17,200 Ounces Precious Metal Gold Equivalent; Maintains 2014 Annual Outlook
COLORADO SPRINGS, CO--(Marketwired - Oct 20, 2014) - Gold Resource Corp. (
The Company's third quarter production of approximately 17,200 ounces precious metal gold equivalent (actual 64:1 silver-to-gold ratio) brings the Company's annual production total to approximately 65,100 ounces AuEq. The Company maintains its 2014 Annual Outlook at 85,000-100,000 ounces AuEq (63:1 silver-to-gold ratio) as budgeted.
"We faced several challenges during the third quarter," stated Gold Resource Corp. CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid. "Slower than expected mine development resulted in fewer tonnes delivered to the Aguila Mill during the quarter. These production issues revealed some needed managerial changes at the Arista mine, which are currently underway. Production levels were approximately 28% lower in the quarter compared to the first half quarterly average. We are pleased to still be within striking distance of the lower end of our annual production goal given the challenges we encountered and are working hard to return to previous production levels."
Full financial results for the third quarter will be available at the time the Company files its quarterly report on Form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
