"The Switchback veins continue to show strength in grade, with both good underground mining widths and high-grade gold, silver and base metal intercepts," stated Mr. Barry Devlin, Vice President of Exploration for Gold Resource Corp.. "The continuation of multiple polymetallic en echelon veins speak to the tremendous power of this large epithermal system."

"We are excited for our Arista Mine's continued growth with these latest Switchback vein system high-grade gold and silver results," stated Mr. Jason Reid, CEO and President of Gold Resource Corp.. "This bodes well for the Switchback vein system growing as big as, if not larger than, the Arista vein system. Mine development on several levels of Switchback continues. We target bulk tonnage mining this area in 2018, as we intend to develop a substantial portion of this exciting expansion of the Arista Mine during 2017."
