William W. Reid, President of Gold Resource Corporation, stated, "We are excited to test numerous new drill targets we have developed on our El Aguila Project with the goal of adding a fourth deposit. Though all three of our deposits discovered to date, the Aguila open pit, El Aire vein system and Arista vein system, have potential to expand with additional drilling we are very excited to test new areas of interest on the project."

Mr. Reid stated, "During the capital intensive period of building the mill we chose to go with one drill rig. We are now comfortable bringing in the second rig to accelerate our exploration.
