Gold Resource Corporation Intercepts Baja Vein
Gold Resource Corporation (GORO) (NYSE Amex: GORO) is pleased to update shareholders that underground development work at its La Arista vein system deposit has reached and intercepted the Baja vein. Gold Resource Corporation is a low-cost gold producer with operations in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
Gold Resource Corporation commenced development of its Arista deposit's underground mine on February 22, 2010. La Arista is a polymetallic deposit with high-grade gold and silver with by-product credits of copper, lead and zinc. The Arista Vein system is made up of multiple en echelon veins with the two predominant veins being the Baja and the Arista veins.
Gold Resource Corporation's President, Mr. Jason Reid, stated, "This first cross-cut and look at the Baja vein exceeded our expectations. We expected a two to three meter wide vein at this level, but were quite pleased to have revealed a solidly mineralized structure six (6) meters wide at the point of interception (see photo). Several samples were rushed to the Company's lab with the highest returning 14.6 grams per tonne gold and 2,300 grams per tonne silver, plus base metals, over 1.5 meters. Though these are just preliminary samples and not an anticipated average grade, we are extremely pleased with the indication of such high-grade. The vein is now in the process of being sampled systematically and in detail."
Having reached the Baja vein, development of the first cross-cut is presently continuing East targeting to intercept the parallel Arista vein at an estimated 30 meters. Once exposed, the Arista and Baja veins are scheduled to immediately begin being mined using the cut and fill method. As the Company drives down both veins in each direction, initially providing 4 working faces, stockpiling of the polymetallic ore will become another milestone in the Aguila Project's history.
Mr. Jason Reid continued, "We have always viewed the Aguila open pit ore, currently being processed at our mill, as providing short-term cash flow for developing the long-term La Arista deposit. The Arista deposit is the heart of our project, and we are very impressed with the size and grade of our first look at the Baja vein."
The Arista vein system's mineralization remains open both laterally as well as at depth with potential to provide additional years beyond the Aguila Project's current mine life estimate of 9 years. The Company targets processing polymetallic Arista ore on or before July 1, 2011.
Gold Resource Corporation believes revenues from the base metal content of the ore, when used as by-product credits, could fund all cash costs of the operation. Consequently, the Company's medium term targeted 200,000 ounces of precious metal gold equivalent per year could potentially be produced at "zero" cost.
Mr. Jason Reid stated, "The near term stockpiling of La Arista ore will assist us in making a seamless transition from processing the Company's El Aguila open pit ore, presently being mined and milled, to the much higher grade Arista underground ore."
