Gold Resource Corp. reported intercepting 3.28 meters of 2,203 grams (70 ounces) silver per tonne and 2.07 grams gold per tonne in its La Arista polymetallic vein system. GRC also reports intercepting a high-grade mineralized area while mining its El Aguila open pit that has yielded the highest values encountered to date at the property, 2.5 meters of 904 grams (29 ounces) gold per tonne and 9,720 grams (312 ounces) silver per tonne. This rock chip sample was taken over 2.5 meters for grade control purposes but for an area that was previously outside the mineralized open pit model. This area of silicified breccia may correlate with a possible feeder vein for this deposit. Stockpiling of the Aguila open pit ore continues in preparation for the commencement of production at GRC's El Aguila Project in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Aguila mill is in the final phase of construction and is targeting gold production in 2009 subject to equipment delivery and construction schedules.

Gold Resource Corp. announced that its large grinding ball mill has arrived on site and open pit mining and stockpiling of ore have begun in preparation for operations at its El Aguila Project in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The company targets production at its El Aguila Project in 2009, subject to remaining equipment delivery and construction schedules. The El Aguila Project's largest ball mill arrived on August 16, 2009. Lyntek Incorporated, the project's engineering, procurement and construction manager (EPCM), has their grinding mill expert on site for the installation. The company's second, smaller ball mill, which was fabricated in Peru, has arrived in Mexico and will be shipped to the site shortly. The company is in the final phase of mill construction with the mechanical/electrical contract underway. Most of the equipment has arrived on site and is being installed. The company is pushing for production as soon as possible in 2009. Having now received the Federal open pit permit, mining of the ore has begun and is being stockpiled at the mill in preparation for operations. The company targets stockpiling as much gold ore as possible prior to mill start-up.

Gold Resource Corp. reported continued high-grade gold and silver mineralization from step-out drilling including 0.75 meters of 31.7 g/t (1.02 ounce/tonne) gold and 2920 g/t (93.88 ounce/tonne) silver. This intercept expands the La Arista deposit vein system as it remains open in both strike and depth. La Arista is one of GRC's three high-grade deposits discovered to date at its El Aguila project in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. GRC targets production at its El Aguila Project in 2009, subject to obtaining the remaining permits, regulatory approvals, equipment deliveries and construction schedules. The Arista deposit vein system appears to be a series of parallel, en echelon veins, including the Arista vein, the Baja vein and additional parallel veins. This high-grade system now extends over 585 meters of strike length and 400 meters of vertical extent. Hole #109003 expands the La Arista vein system approximately 85 meters to the south east from the previously drilled high-grade intercepts in Hole #108042 and Hole#109001.
