Gold Resource Corporation Announces $20 Million Stock Repurchase Program
Ticker Symbol: U:NYSE U:GORO

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 09/27/11

Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE Amex: GORO) today announced that its Board of
Directors has approved a $20 million stock repurchase program. Gold Resource
Corporation is a low-cost gold producer with operations in the southern state
of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company has returned over $25 million to shareholders
in monthly dividends since declaring commercial production July 1, 2010.

Gold Resource Corporation, in response to the downward pressure on its stock,
is implementing a share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company
may repurchase its common shares from time to time in open market
transactions at prevailing market prices. The program will be funded from
available working capital. The timing and the amount of any repurchases will
be determined by management based on evaluation of market conditions, share
price, and other factors. This Board approved program is effective
immediately, has no pre-established closing date, and may be suspended or
discontinued at any time. The Company is not obligated to repurchase any
dollar amount or specific number of shares of its common stock under the
program.

"Management believes that at current price levels the Company's stock is
undervalued and represents an attractive investment opportunity for the
Company in addition to an opportunity to further reduce its already tight
capital structure," stated Gold Resource Corporation's President, Mr. Jason
Reid. "With only fifty-three million shares outstanding as a producer, in an
industry where most producers have hundreds of millions of shares
outstanding, this share buyback may further leverage our ability to
distribute our meaningful monthly future dividends. This share repurchase
program further demonstrates our commitment to deliver shareholder value."
