Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE:GORO) (the "Company") is pleased to announce preliminary fourth quarter production results from its Don David Gold Mine that are a significant improvement from previous quarters and represents 45% of the full-year production for 2025. The net result is a significantly improved year-end balance sheet of $25 million and no debt. During the quarter, the Company's production profile has transitioned into more of a silver producer, accounting for about 80% of its revenue, including a record sale of 663,503 ounces of silver, 1,785 ounces of gold and a total gold equivalent (AuEq) ounces of 10,413. For the twelve months ending December 31, 2025, the company sold 23,125 AuEq ounces.
"We are extremely pleased to report a such strong finish to 2025, reflecting the successful turnaround in operations and increasing ore production from the new Three Sisters area where higher grades and improved production, combined with record high metal prices," said Allen Palmiere, President and CEO. "During the quarter, we realized an average sale price of $55 per ounce of silver and $4,234 per ounce for gold. In 2026, we expect continued leverage to the silver price with 40% of our production from the Three Sisters area. Overall, we are pleased with the mine's performance, which reflects the execution of the operational plans and new equipment we outlined a year ago. I would like to thank the entire team for their focus and execution in delivering these outstanding operational results."

The difference between what we report as "Metal Production" and "Metal Sold" is attributable to the difference between the quantities of metals contained in the concentrates we produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also arise from inventory changes related to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades and recoveries which impact the amount of metals contained in concentrates produced and sold. |
