GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION APPROVED FOR TRADING ON OTC-BB

DENVER – September 14, 2006 – Gold Resource Corporation (“GRC”) announced that its common stock commenced trading this morning on the OTC-Bulletin Board under the symbol GORO. The company recently raised $4.6 million in a self-underwritten initial public offering of 4.6 million shares.

GRC is a production-oriented mining company exploring three potential high-grade gold and silver properties in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca. The company’s management team, which previously initiated six producing mines under a prior company they founded and ran for 28 years, is positioning GRC to become a low-cost producer of gold and silver.

“We are very pleased with the caliber of investors that have helped fund our company,” said William W. Reid, GRC’s president. “Worldwide investors include Gold 2000, one of the largest gold funds in Europe; Heemskirk Consolidated Ltd, a global mining investment firm headquartered in Australia, and several London-based gold funds. These investments are testaments to GRC’s exciting high-grade gold and silver properties in Oaxaca, as well as our long-range plans for the company.”

GRC’s flagship El Aguila gold and silver property is distinguished by many high-grade surface samples collected over an 8-kilometer long structural zone in which gold samples were as high as 35 grams per ton (g/t) (1.0 ounce/ton) and silver samples were as high as 3,170 g/t (92 ounces/ton). Test drilling has resulted in numerous high-grade intercepts, including the highest valued intercept of 2 meters of 101 g/t (2.95 ounces/ton) of gold and 1,040 g/t (30 ounces/ton) of silver. An early independent Scoping Study estimated cash costs at approximately $100/ounce gold from a potential high-grade open pit mine with an estimated grade of 7.45 g/t (0.21 ounces/ton) gold and 63 g/t (1.84 ounces/ton) silver.

GRC’s El Aguila Project is on an accelerated exploration program aimed at making a positive production decision in the first quarter of 2007.
