GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION DRILLS 1M OF 27.70 G/T GOLD AND 1235 G/T SILVER WITHIN 3M OF 21.99 G/T (0.71 OZ/TONNE) GOLD EQUIVALENT AT LA ARISTA

DENVER – January 14, 2008 – Gold Resource Corporation (GRC) (OTCBB: GORO, FRANKFURT: GIH) is pleased to announce additional high grade intercepts with deeper drilling at its La Arista deposit. The La Arista deposit is part of GRC’s El Aguila Project in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The El Aguila Project is targeting gold production the second half of 2008 subject to timely obtaining required permits, regulatory approvals and equipment delivery schedules.

Recent drill highlights include:

Hole 7088 (-56 deg)

1. •

1 meter of 27.70 g/t gold, 1235 g/t silver, 0.63% copper, 0.20% lead, 0.42% zinc, (or a gold equivalent* value of 57.17 g/t (1.84 oz/tonne)) within,

•

3 meters of 10.02 g/t gold, 476 g/t silver, 0.42 % copper, 0.08% lead, 0.17% zinc, (or a gold equivalent* value of 21.99 g/t (0.71 oz/tonne))

•

1 meter of 18.80 g/t gold, 37 g/t silver, 0.53% copper, 2.33% lead, 3.18% zinc, (or a gold equivalent* value of 28.80 g/t (0.93 oz/tonne)) within,

•

2 meters of 11.99 g/t gold, 89 g/t silver, 0.42% copper, 1.24% lead, 1.79% zinc, (or a gold equivalent* value of 19.40 g/t (0.62 oz/tonne))

 

Hole 7284 (-60 deg)

1. •

1 meter of 4.97 g/t gold, 695 g/t silver, 0.24 % copper, 0.53 % lead, 0.95 % zinc, (or a gold equivalent* value of 22.68 g/t ((0.73 oz/tonne))

 

Gold Resource Corporation’s president, William W. Reid, stated, "Drilling at La Arista has demonstrated that we have three, parallel, high-grade veins. With Hole 7088, we have intercepted the deepest high-grade La Arista mineralization at 250 meters below the surface. The intercepts from two of these veins appear to have increasing gold values with depth while the third vein contains high-grade silver, such as the 4 meters of 2955 g/t silver reported earlier, all which bode well for this robust, epithermal system. We are also fortunate to have high percentages of base metals, with 95% or greater recoverability, which could potentially be used as credits against costs of producing the gold and silver, adding greater value to the La Arista deposit."
