**GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION ISSUES 2023 GUIDANCE AND**

**SUSPENSION OF DIVIDEND PROGRAM**

DENVER – February 13, 2023 – Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American: GORO) (the "Company", "We", "Our" or "GRC") remains focused on unlocking the value of our Mexican mine, existing infrastructure, and large property position. Additionally, the Company remains committed to optimizing the mine plan and process flowsheets for the Back Forty Project. With that said, the 2022 market volatility, challenging economic conditions and the lower grade profile of our current Mineral Reserves and Mineral Resources, have collectively contributed to an adverse impact on our 2022 cash flows and consolidated earnings. While we are focused on organic growth and disciplined cost cutting initiatives, the lower grade profile is expected to continue through 2023 and is projected to negatively impact operating cash flows and total cash costs per gold equivalent ounce, as reflected in the guidance table below.

Allen Palmiere, President and CEO, said "2022 was a challenging year for the Company on a number of fronts; however, we made excellent strides with our operations, capital and exploration programs. Further, I remain very proud of how our workforce embraced our objectives and values around safety, operational process improvement and collaboration with our internal and external stakeholders. We will continue identifying operational efficiencies and cost improvement opportunities in 2023; however, as per our 2023 guidance, lower gold grades will result in less production in 2023 than 2022 and further significantly contribute to an increased Cash Costs and All-in Sustaining Costs. More importantly, we are eager to advance the exploration drilling at a number of highly prospective underground targets in Mexico. With the Back Forty Project, we will continue work on the feasibility study with a deliberate and measured approach. I remain optimistic that this year will provide opportunities to grow the Company in new directions."

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Calculations of cash cost after co-product credits per gold equivalent ounce and all-in sustaining cost after co-product credits per gold equivalent ounce are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures" for a complete definition and explanation of non-GAAP measures and how they reconcile to U.S. GAAP.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) Co-product credits directly impact the Cash Costs and AISC per AuEq ounce calculation. Guidance is based on approximately 4,200 tonnes of lead sold at an $0.91 per pound metal price, approximately 1,200 tonnes of copper sold at a $3.80 per pound metal prices, and 11,200 tonnes of zinc sold at a $1.40 per pound metal price.

------

We continue to be optimistic that underground exploration targets will return favorable results that will both provide improved overall mineral grades and extend the life of the mine. In 2022, we faced several technical challenges that slowed drift extensions to multiple underground targets. Those technical challenges have been addressed and we are well positioned to conduct step-out drilling in multiple highly prospective areas of Switchback and Arista. These targets are higher in the vein systems where we have historically seen higher precious metal grades.

At this time, the Board of Directors and Management feel the best way to maximize shareholder value is to protect our balance sheet and focus our capital resources on exploration and growth opportunities. Therefore, we will suspend the quarterly dividend until such time that it may become practicable to reinstate.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the possibility of lower than anticipated revenue or higher than anticipated costs at the Don David Gold Mine; volatility in commodity prices; results of continued evaluation of the Back Forty project; and declines in general economic conditions.

This press release includes certain terms or performance measures commonly used in the mining industry that are not defined under the United States of America generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), including free cash flow, cash costs and AISC per payable gold equivalent ounce sold, realized metal prices, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted attributable net income, adjusted basic attributable earnings per share, consolidated cash and consolidated net cash.

The data presented is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
