Gold Resource Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter of 2025
DENVER--( BUSINESS WIRE)--Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American: GORO) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce its third quarter operational results from its Don David Gold Mine (“DDGM”) near Oaxaca, Mexico.
“I’m pleased to report that we are beginning to see encouraging signs of a turnaround at the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico,” said Allen Palmiere, President and CEO. “We’ve started receiving some of the gently used equipment that we ordered, and it is already operational within the mine. Development work by Cominvi is progressing according to plan in the Three Sisters area, and we’re particularly encouraged by results which continue to validate our expectations of favorable vein widths and higher precious metal grades. Additionally, our transition to the cut-and-fill mining method in certain narrow vein areas has significantly reduced dilution. We are encouraged that these improvements are already yielding positive results, and we anticipate continued progress moving forward.”

Corporate and Financial:
Liquidity Update:
Tonnes produced from the mining operations at DDGM year-to-date 2025 remain lower than in the previous year and, except for silver, grades were lower as well. The Company continued to encounter significant issues with equipment availability partway into the third quarter due to the age and condition of some of the critical mining equipment in use at the mine. Due to the challenges with equipment availability, the Company was not able to maintain its projected timeline for mine development and had limited flexibility to mine alternate headings. In addition, the mill continued to experience mechanical issues that resulted in lower throughput, and when combined with the lower tonnes mined, resulted in a production shortfall. To minimize the mechanical issues and return the mine to a cash positive position, the Company engaged a third-party contract miner during the third quarter of 2025 and started to upgrade its mining fleet. As a result, by the end of the third quarter, the Company was able to increase production from a number of production headings.
The Company believes that the mine has the potential to generate positive cash flow based on the information to date from the new Three Sisters area, as well as other zones that have been discovered near existing headings. The Company is in the process of developing access to and drill-defining these new areas. With the improvements mentioned above, the Company is expecting the remaining months of 2025 to result in positive operating income.
In 2025, the Company has been focused on improving its cash position through the issuance of debt and equity. The Company raised $2.5 million through a registered direct offering in January 2025. In September 2025, the Company closed on a second registered direct offering of $11.4 million for the sale of 25,315,954 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.45 per share. The Company issued 14,204,846 of these shares, for the fair value of approximately $6.4 million, to fully pay off the term loan received in June 2025 as a non-cash equity settlement. In February 2025, the Company sold its interest in Green Light Metals for $0.9 million in proceeds. On May 7, 2025, the Company received a tax refund of 79.6 million pesos (approximately $4.0 million) related to DDGM taxes paid in 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company raised approximately $8.6 million through its At-The-Market Offering (“ATM”) Program, after deducting the agent’s commissions and other expenses.
Although the Company has significantly improved its financial position year to date, the lower production and grades from the mine through the third quarter of 2025 raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, as reflected by the year-to-date net losses of $24.5 million and the cash used in operations of $2.5 million. Although the Company believes that there is adequate financing in place to cover the planned underground development and equipment improvements, there can be no assurances that the Company will achieve short-term production targets and therefore may continue with liquidity concerns.
