DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - 07/06/09) - Gold Resource Corporation (GRC) (OTC.BB:GORO - News) (Frankfurt:GIH - News) is pleased to report continued high-grade gold and silver mineralization from step-out drilling including .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 (see longitudinal section).

Recent Arista Deposit drill highlights include:

William W. Reid, President of Gold Resource Corporation stated, "We are particularly pleased with the continued high-grade gold and silver intercepts outside our initial mineralized material envelopes and the fact that hole 109003 extends mineralization by approximately 85 meters becoming our furthest intercept to the southeast. High-grade gold and silver, with significant base metal values in copper, lead and zinc, underscore the low cost potential of this exciting deposit."
