SECOND QUARTER 2024 HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are summarized below and discussed further under Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations:

Corporate and Financial

●

The Company has $5.3 million in cash and $14.3 million in working capital as of June 30, 2024.

●

Net loss was $27.7 million or $0.30 per share for the quarter, which was after a $16.5 million tax expense due to the valuation allowance recorded during the second quarter of 2024 on the DDGM deferred tax assets, $3.7 million in additional interest on streaming liabilities because of higher gold consensus prices in the second quarter, and $1.3 million of unrealized investment loss on the Company’s holdings of Green Light Metals shares.

●

Total cash cost after co-product credits for the quarter was $1,950 per gold equivalent (“AuEq”) ounce and total all-in sustaining cost (“AISC”) after co-product credits for the quarter was $2,661 per AuEq ounce. (See Item 2—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Non-GAAP Measures for a reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to applicable GAAP measures).

●

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 3,478,813 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold and settled through the At the Market (“ATM”) agreement for net proceeds to the Company of $1.8 million, after deducting $0.1 million for Agent’s commissions and other expenses.

Don David Gold Mine

●

In the second quarter of 2024, DDGM produced and sold a total of 5,625 gold equivalent ounces, comprised of 2,724 gold ounces and 234,560 silver ounces at an average sales price per ounce of $2,465 and $30.49, respectively.

●

During the second quarter, the underground diamond drilling program progressed as planned and on schedule, utilizing two drill rigs generating positive results. Infill drilling continued to upgrade Inferred resources to the Measured and Indicated resource categories, particularly focusing on the recently discovered Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems. Infill drilling during this period continued to identify and give definition to high-grade ore shoots in the Sandy 1 and Sandy 2 veins of the Three Sisters system. Additionally, grade control drilling continued to prove up economic mineralization in veins scheduled for production in both the Arista and Switchback systems.

●

There were no lost time incidents during the quarter, resulting in a “zero” year-to-date Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (“LTIFR”) safety record. Safety at Gold Resource Corporation is paramount. Even with a good track record at DDGM, the Company continues to strive each quarter for improved safety measures, awareness, and training.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2024
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements (“interim financial statements”) of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules. However, the Company believes that the disclosures included are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of these interim financial statements have been included. The results reported in these interim financial statements do not necessarily indicate the results that may be reported for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K (the “2023 Annual Report”). The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, there have been no material changes to the footnotes from those accompanying the audited consolidated financial statements contained in the 2023 Annual Report.

In the presentation of certain operating cashflows in the statement of cashflows for 2023 have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation. This had no impact on total operating cashflows previously presented.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

The FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures in November 2023, amending reportable segment disclosure requirements to include disclosure of incremental segment information on an annual and interim basis. Among the disclosure enhancements are new disclosures regarding significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision-maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, as well as other segment items bridging segment revenue to each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

The FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvement to Income Tax Disclosures in December 2023, amending income tax disclosure requirements for the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and are applied prospectively. Early adoption and retrospective application of the amendments are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this update on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

(1)	Net of reserve for obsolescence of $0.5 million as of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

5. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax provisions of $16.5 and $14.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $1.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes is calculated using the estimated consolidated annual effective tax rate. The consolidated effective tax rate is a function of the combined effective tax rates for the jurisdictions in which the Company operates. Variations in the relative proportions of jurisdictional income could result in fluctuations to the Company’s consolidated effective tax rate. At the federal level, the Company’s income in the U.S. is taxed at 21%, and a 5% withholding tax applies to dividends received from Mexico.

Table of Contents

Income in Mexico is taxed at 37.5% (30% income tax and 7.5% mining tax), and Canada’s income is taxed at 26.5%, which results in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory U.S. Federal rates. The U.S. and certain Canadian jurisdictions do not currently generate taxable income.

Mexico Valuation Allowance

The Company recorded a valuation allowance on the Mexico Income Tax net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2024 in the amount of $12.8 million. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, a valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, after considering all available evidence, both positive and negative. The Company determined a valuation allowance on Mexico Income Tax deferred tax assets was necessary due primarily to the recent losses at the Mexico mine.

Mining entities in Mexico are subject to two mining duties, in addition to the 30% Mexico corporate income tax: (i) a “special” mining duty of 7.5% of taxable income as defined under Mexican tax law (also referred to as “mining royalty tax”) on extraction activities performed by concession holders, and (ii) the “extraordinary” mining duty of 0.5% on gross revenue from the sale of gold, silver, and platinum. The mining royalty tax generally applies to earnings before income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and interest. In calculating the mining royalty tax, there are no corporate deductions related to depreciable costs from operational fixed assets. However, prospecting and exploration expenses are amortized using a 10% rate in a 10-year straight line. Both duties are tax deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, our effective tax rate applicable to the Company’s Mexican operations is higher than Mexico’s statutory rate.

The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly owned subsidiary to the U.S. as dividends, which are subject to a 10% Mexico withholding tax, unless otherwise provided per a tax treaty. The current U.S.-Mexico tax treaty limits the dividend withholding tax between these countries to 5%, as long as specific requirements are met. Based on the Company’s understanding that it meets these requirements, the Company pays a 5% withholding tax on dividends paid from Mexico. The estimated annual effective tax rate reflects the impact of the planned annual transfers for 2024.

In October 2023, the Company received a notification from the Mexican Tax Administration Services (“SAT”) with a sanction of 331 million pesos (approximately $18 million as of June 30, 2024) as the result of a 2015 tax audit that began in 2021. The 2015 tax audit performed by SAT encompassed various tax aspects, including but not limited to intercompany transactions, mining royalty tax, and extraordinary mining tax. Management is in process of disputing this tax notification and sent a letter of protest to the tax authorities along with providing all requested documentation. Management intends to pursue legal avenues of protest, including filing a lawsuit with the Mexico court system, if necessary, to ensure that these adjustments are removed. Management believes the position taken on the 2015 income tax return meets the more likely than not threshold and that as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has no liability for uncertain tax positions. If the Company were to determine there was an unrecognized tax benefit, the Company would recognize the liability and related interest and penalties within income tax (benefit) provision.

Other current assets		1,061		654
Total	$	7,703	$	6,612

Prepaid income tax

Mexican tax statutes specify that the current year tax prepayments be calculated based on a coefficient for prior year earnings, regardless of current year results. Starting in the third quarter of each year, these same statutes allow companies to request a reduction of the coefficient, which adjusts for losses experienced in the current year. During 2023, DDGM had to prepay approximately $76 million pesos ($4 million) despite of the losses for the year. In 2024, these overpayments can be used to offset the required 2024 tax prepayments, and as a result, no income tax payments are expected in 2024.

Other current assets

A value added (“IVA”) tax in Mexico is assessed on the sales of products and purchases of materials and services. Businesses owe IVA taxes as the business sells a product and collects IVA taxes from its customers. Likewise, businesses are generally entitled to recover the taxes they have paid related to purchases of materials and services, either as a refund or credit to IVA tax payable. Amounts recorded as IVA taxes in the consolidated financial statements represent the net estimated IVA tax payable or receivable, since there is a legal right of offset of IVA taxes. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31,2023, this resulted in an asset balance of $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, included in Other current assets.

10. Gold and Silver Stream Agreements

The following table presents the Company’s liabilities related to the Company’s Gold and Silver Stream Agreements with Osisko Bermuda Limited (“OBL”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd (TSX & NYSE: OR), as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	As of		As of

Liability related to the Silver Stream Agreement		26,699		23,930
Total liability	$	50,028	$	44,932

Periodic interest expense is incurred based on an implied interest rate. The implied interest rate is determined based on the timing and probability of future production and a 6% discount rate. Interest expense is recorded to the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations and the gold and silver stream agreement liability on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets.

The stream agreements contain customary provisions regarding default and security. In the event that our subsidiary defaults under the stream agreements, including by failing to achieve commercial production by an agreed upon date, it may be required to repay the deposit plus accumulated interest at a rate agreed with OBL. If the Company fails to do so, OBL may elect to enforce its remedies as a secured party and take possession of the assets that comprise the Back Forty Project.

Gold Streaming Agreement

In November 2017, Aquila entered into a stream agreement with OBL, pursuant to which OBL agreed to commit approximately $55 million to Aquila through a gold stream purchase agreement. In June 2020, Aquila amended its agreement with OBL, reducing the total committed amount to $50 million, as well as adjusting certain milestone dates under the gold stream to align with the current project development timeline. Aquila had received a total of $20 million of the committed funds at the time of the Gold Resource Corporation acquisition. Remaining deposits from OBL are $5 million upon receipt of permits required for the development and operation of the Back Forty Project and $25 million upon the first drawdown of an appropriate project debt finance facility. OBL has been provided a general security agreement over the Back Forty Project, which consists of the subsidiaries of Gold Resource Acquisition Sub. Inc., a 100% owned subsidiary of Gold Resource Corporation. The initial term of the agreement is for 40 years, automatically renewable for successive ten-year periods. The agreement is subject to certain operating and financial covenants, which are in good standing as of June 30, 2024. In March 2024, the Company secured an amendment to the stream agreement that deferred the required completion of certain operational milestones related to permitting from 2024 to 2026.

The $20 million received from OBL through June 30, 2024 is shown as a long-term liability on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets, along with an implied interest. The implied interest rate is applied on the OBL advance payments and calculated on the total expected life-of-mine production to be deliverable using an estimated gold price and a discount rate of 6%. As the remaining $30 million deposit is subject to the completion of specific milestones and the satisfaction of certain other conditions, this amount is not reflected on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets.

Per the terms of the gold stream agreement, OBL will purchase 18.5% of the refined gold from Back Forty (the “Threshold Stream Percentage”) until the Company has delivered 105,000 ounces of gold (the “Production Threshold”). Upon satisfaction of the Production Threshold, the Threshold Stream Percentage will be reduced to 9.25% of the refined gold (the “Tail Stream”). In exchange for the refined gold delivered under the Stream Agreement, OBL will pay the Company ongoing payments equal to 30% of the spot price of gold on the day of delivery, subject to a maximum payment of $600 per ounce. Where the market price of gold is greater than the price paid, the difference realized from the sale of the

gold will be applied against the deposit received from OBL. Please see Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information.

Silver Stream Agreement

Through a series of contracts, Aquila executed a silver stream agreement with OBL to purchase 85% of the silver produced and sold at the Back Forty Project. A total of $17.2 million has been advanced under the agreement as of June 30, 2024. There are no future deposits remaining under the agreement. The initial term of the agreement is for 40 years, automatically renewable for successive ten-year periods. The agreement is subject to certain operating and financial covenants, which are in good standing as of June 30, 2024. In March 2024, the Company secured an amendment to the stream agreement that deferred the required completion of certain operational milestones related to permitting from 2024 to 2026.

Per the terms of the silver stream agreement, OBL will purchase 85% of the silver produced from the Back Forty Project at a fixed price of $4 per ounce of silver. Where the market price of silver is greater than $4 per ounce, the difference realized from the sale of the silver will be applied against the deposit received from Osisko.

The $17.2 million received from OBL through June 30, 2024 is shown as a long-term liability on the Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets and includes an implied interest rate. The implied interest rate is applied on the OBL advance payments and calculated on the total expected life-of-mine production to be deliverable using an estimated silver price and a discount rate of 6%. Please see Note 12—Commitments and Contingencies in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information.

11. Reclamation and Remediation

Total period end balance	$	11,212	$	11,795

(1)	In 2023, the Company updated its closure plan study, which resulted in a $1.2 million decrease in the estimated liability and asset retirement costs.

The Company’s undiscounted reclamation liabilities of $2.1 million and $2.2 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, are related to the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico. These represent reclamation liabilities that were expensed through 2013 before proven and probable reserves were established and the Company was considered to be a development stage entity; therefore, most of the costs, including asset retirement costs, were not allowed to be capitalized as part of our property, plant, and mine development.

The Company’s asset retirement obligations reflect the additions to the asset for reclamation and remediation costs in Property, Plant, and Mine Development, post-2013 development stage status, which are discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 8%. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s asset retirement obligation was $9.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively, primarily related to the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has equipment purchase commitments of $0.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Contingent Consideration

With the Aquila acquisition, the Company assumed a contingent consideration. On December 30, 2013, Aquila’s shareholders approved the acquisition of 100% of the shares of HudBay Michigan Inc. (“HMI”), a subsidiary of HudBay Minerals Inc. (“HudBay”), effectively giving Aquila 100% ownership in the Back Forty Project (the “HMI Acquisition”). Pursuant to the HMI Acquisition, HudBay’s 51% interest in the Back Forty Project was acquired in consideration for the issuance of common shares of Aquila, future milestone payments tied to the development of the Back Forty Project and a 1% net smelter return royalty on production from certain land parcels in the project. The issuance of shares and 1% net smelter obligations were settled before the Company acquired Aquila.

The contingent consideration is composed of the following:

The value of future installments is based on C$9 million tied to the development of the Back Forty project as follows:

C$3 million payable on completion of any form of financing for purposes including the commencement of construction of Back Forty, up to 50% of the C$3 million can be paid, at the Company’s option in Gold Resource Corporation shares with the balance payable in cash;

C$2 million payable in cash 90 days after the commencement of commercial production;

C$2 million payable in cash 270 days after the commencement of commercial production, and;

C$2 million payable in cash 450 days after the commencement of commercial production.

Initially, the Company intended to pay the first C$3 million in 2023 to prevent HudBay’s 51% buy-back option in the Back Forty Project. Management later decided that it was more likely than not that HudBay would not exercise its buy-back option, and consequently, this amount was not paid. Additionally, since financing of the project is not expected in 2024, this liability was reclassified to long-term. As of the end of January 2024, by the contractual deadline, HudBay did not exercise its buy-back option, and thus, it is forfeited.

The total value of the contingent consideration as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $3.4 million and $3.5 million, respectively. The contingent consideration is adjusted for the time value of money and the likelihood of the milestone payments. Any future change in the value of the contingent consideration is recognized in other expense, net, in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Operations.

The following table shows the change in the balance of the contingent consideration for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and for the year ended December 31, 2023:

Other Contingencies

The Company has certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims, and other commitments and is subject to various environmental and safety laws and regulations incident to the ordinary course of business. The Company currently has no basis to conclude that any or all of such contingencies will materially affect its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, in the future, there may be changes to these contingencies, or additional contingencies may occur, any of which might result in an accrual or a change in current accruals recorded by the Company. There can be no assurance that the ultimate disposition of contingencies will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

With the acquisition of Aquila Resources Inc. on December 10, 2021, the Company assumed substantial liabilities that relate to the gold and silver stream agreements with OBL. Under the agreements, OBL deposited a total of $37.2 million upfront in exchange for a portion of the future gold and silver production from the Back Forty Project. The stream agreements contain customary provisions regarding default and security. In the event that our subsidiary defaults under the stream agreements, including failing to achieve commercial production at a future date, it may be required to repay the deposit plus accumulated interest at a rate agreed with OBL. If it fails to do so, OBL may be entitled to enforce its remedies as a secured party and take possession of the assets that comprise the Back Forty Project.

13. Shareholders’ Equity

The Company’s At-The-Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (the “Agent”), which was entered into in November 2019 (the “ATM Agreement”), was renewed on April 3, 2024, pursuant to which the Agent agreed to act as the Company’s sales agent with respect to the offer and sale from time to time of the Company’s common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $14.9 million. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, an aggregate of 3,478,813 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold and settled through the ATM agreement for net proceeds to the Company of $1.8 million, after deducting $0.1 million for Agent’s commissions and other expenses. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, no shares of the Company’s common stock sold through the ATM agreement.

14. Derivatives

Embedded Derivatives

Concentrate sales contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the provisional pricing terms for shipments pending final settlement. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to accounts receivable and sales to reflect the mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. Please see Note—19 Fair Value Measurement in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information on the realized and unrealized gain (loss) recorded to adjust accounts receivable and revenue.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unsettled sales contracts at June 30, 2024 with the quantities of metals under contract subject to final pricing expected to occur through September 2024:


	Gold		Silver		Copper		Lead		Zinc			Total
	(ounces)		(ounces)		(tonnes)		(tonnes)		(tonnes)
Under contract		1,866		223,427		103		918		1,847

15. Employee Benefits

Effective October 2012, the Company adopted a profit-sharing plan (the “Plan”), which covers all U.S. employees. The Plan meets the requirements of a qualified retirement plan pursuant to the provisions of Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan also allows eligible employees to make tax deferred contributions to a retirement trust account up to 90% of their qualified wages, subject to the IRS annual maximums.

On April 23, 2021, a decree that reforms labor outsourcing in Mexico was published in the Federation’s Official Gazette. This decree amended the outsourcing provisions, whereby operating companies can no longer source their labor resources used to carry out the core business functions from service entities or third-party providers. Under Mexican law, employees are entitled to receive statutory profit sharing (Participacion a los Trabajadores de las Utilidades or “PTU”) payments. The required cash payment to employees in the aggregate is equal to 10% of their employer’s profit subject to PTU, which differs from profit determined under U.S. GAAP. Please see Note 9—Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information.

16. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s compensation program comprises three main elements: (1) base salary, (2) an annual short-term incentive plan (“STIP”) award which may be in the form of cash or Deferred Share Units (“DSUs”) with immediate vesting, and (3) long-term equity-based incentive compensation (“LTIP”) in the form of Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”), and stock options.

The Gold Resource Corporation 2016 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) allows for the issuance of up to 5 million shares of common stock in the form of incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, stock grants, stock units, performance shares, PSUs, and DSUs.

The Company’s STIP for its management team provides annual award, which may be settled as a cash payable through the issuance of fully vested equity awards (such as fully vested stock grants or DSUs), or a combination of cash and stock awards (DSUs), upon achievement of specified performance metrics. As of June 30, 2024, the Company has a $0.3 million liability accrued for the 2024 bonuses in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.

Stock-based compensation expense for the periods presented is as follows:

Gains and losses due to changes in fair value are non-cash in nature until such time that they are realized through cash transactions. For additional information regarding the Company’s fair value measurements and investments, please see Note 19—Fair Value Measurement in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information.

18. Net Loss per Common Share

Basic net income per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated based on the assumption that stock options and other dilutive securities outstanding, which have an exercise price less than the average market price of the Company’s common shares during the period, would have been exercised on the later of the beginning of the period or the date granted and that the funds obtained from the exercise were used to purchase common shares at the average market price during the period. All of the Company’s RSUs are anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss for the period. Since PSUs and DSUs are expected to be cash settled, they are not included in the dilutive calculation.

The effect of the Company’s dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method, and only those instruments that result in a reduction in net income per common share are included in the calculation. Options to purchase 0.8 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise price of $2.99 were outstanding as of June 30, 2024, but had no dilutive effect due to the net loss for the period. Options to purchase 1.5 million shares of common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $2.88 were outstanding as of June 30, 2023 but had no dilutive effect due to the net loss for the period.

Basic and diluted net income per common share is calculated as follows:

19. Fair Value Measurement

Fair value accounting establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1

Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

Level 2

Quoted prices in markets that are not active or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and

Level 3

Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

As required by accounting guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These assets and liabilities are remeasured for each reporting period. The following tables set forth certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	As of		As of
	June 30,		December 31,		Input Hierarchy Level
	2024		2023

	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	5,342	$	6,254	Level 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	4,577	$	4,335	Level 2
Investment in equity securities-Maritime	$	1,718	$	1,596	Level 1
Investment in equity securities-Green Light Metals	$	2,239	$	3,698	Level 3

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents: Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, approximating fair value.

Accounts receivable, net: Accounts receivable, net include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers. Concentrate sales contracts provide for provisional pricing as specified in such contracts. These sales contain an embedded derivative related to the provisional pricing mechanism which is bifurcated and accounted for as a derivative. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to sales to reflect the mark-to-market of outstanding provisional invoices based on the forward price curve. Because these provisionally priced sales have not yet settled as of the reporting date, the mark-to-market adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had an unrealized gain of $0.4 million and an unrealized gain of $0.3 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Interim Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments on the embedded derivatives. Please see Note 14—Derivatives in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional information.

Investment in equity securities—Maritime: On September 22, 2022, Gold Resource Corporation invested C$2.4 million (or $1.7 million) in the common shares of Maritime Resources Corp. (“Maritime”), ticker symbol MAE.V on TSX-V, in a private placement. The 47 million shares purchased represent less than 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of Maritime. As of June 30, 2024, the share price of Maritime was C$0.050, compared to C$0.045 as of December 31, 2023; therefore, an unrealized gain of $0.2 million was recorded.

Investment in equity securities—Green Light Metals: Upon maturity on December 28, 2022, the Company received 12,250,000 private shares of Green Light Metals, which settled the promissory note receivable from Green Light Metals. The shares received represented approximately 28.5% ownership at the time. Management chose to account for this investment using the fair value option; therefore, these securities are carried at fair value. As of June 30, 2024, the value of this equity investment was C$3.1 million ($2.2 million). The value of the issued shares was determined to be C$0.25 per share, which was based on the significant unobservable input of Green Light Metals equity transactions. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.5 million unrealized loss, that included $1.3 million loss on the value of the shares the Company holds, along with an immaterial foreign exchange loss.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion summarizes the results of operations of Gold Resource Corporation and its subsidiaries (“we,” “our,” “us,” or the “Company”) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and compares those results with the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. It also analyzes the Company’s financial condition as of June 30, 2024, and compares it to the financial condition as of December 31, 2023. This discussion should be read in conjunction with management’s discussion and analysis and the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes contained in the 2023 Annual Report.

The discussion also presents certain non-GAAP financial measures that are important to management in its evaluation of our operating results, and which are used by management to compare our performance with what we perceive to be peer group mining companies and are relied on as part of management’s decision-making process. Management believes these measures may also be important to investors in evaluating our performance. For a detailed description of each of the non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation to GAAP financial measures, please see the discussion below under “Non-GAAP Measures.” Also see Forward-Looking Statements at the end of this Item 2 for important information regarding statements contained herein.

Overview

Gold Resource Corporation is a mining company that pursues gold, silver, and other metal projects that require reasonable capital requirements and could achieve high returns. The Don David Gold Mine (“DDGM”) is our cornerstone asset comprised of six contiguous land parcels. The Company’s focus is unlocking the significant upside potential of DDGM through optimization of the current operations, growing the existing resource by investing in exploration drilling, and identifying new opportunities near existing infrastructure. The primary mineral production comes from the Arista and Switchback underground mining areas. This mine and processing facilities can produce gold and silver doré as well as concentrates of copper, lead, and zinc.

The Back Forty Project, when developed, is expected to produce gold and silver doré and concentrates of copper and zinc bearing gold and silver. Optimization work related to metallurgy and the economic model was completed during the third quarter of 2023 and the Company filed the Back Forty Project Technical Report Summary (S-K 1300) on October 26, 2023. Results of the work indicate a more robust economic project with no planned impacts to wetlands that is more protective of the environment, which should facilitate a successful mine permitting process. The Board continues to evaluate options in order to develop the Back Forty Project.

Review of Strategic Alternatives

Although Management has terminated the formal contract with the third-party advisory firm for the review of strategic alternatives, the Company will continue to seek and consider various strategic alternatives that can add shareholder value and place the Company in a stronger position to improve its operations and develop its longer-term reserves.

Reviewing Mine Plans

DDGM’s emphasis on safety, efficiency, and cost-saving initiatives has resulted in another quarter without any Loss Time Injury. Leadership training programs continue to improve the organization while empowering leaders to enhance team productivity and safety.

Several external factors impacted the operation's full potential in the quarter. The two main factors include politically driven blockades in May due to the teachers’ unions and regional fires, which impacted the supply chain and personnel from reaching the operations in time. In June, the state was hit by two tropical storms that had an impact at the crusher, making it difficult to maintain stable throughputs because the material was too wet for the mill to process properly.

DDGM’s cost reduction initiatives played an important role as the operation navigated the abovementioned external challenges. The team has negotiated with suppliers to increase the number of items in consignments. Other negotiations successfully maintained similar costs on consumables before becoming subject to tariff increases nationwide.

DDGM's focus on safety, efficiency, and cost-saving measures has proven effective, resulting in another quarter free of LTIs. Leadership training has further empowered the organization, boosting team productivity and safety. Despite external challenges such as political blockades and tropical storms, the strategic cost-reduction initiatives have enabled the company to maintain stability and continue its operations effectively.

DDGM Exploration Update

Our portfolio of properties that make up the Don David Gold Mine are located along a 55-kilometer trend of the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur mountain range. This northwest trending structural corridor spans three historic mining districts within the state of Oaxaca. Regional surface exploration activity continues on several properties with a goal of defining additional priority drill targets, demonstrating our commitment to long-term investment in Oaxaca, Mexico.

During the second quarter of 2024, underground infill drilling continued from accessible areas using one dedicated contract diamond drill rig from drill stations within the Arista mine, targeting the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems to further define, expand and upgrade the Mineral Resources in these recently discovered zones. A second diamond drill rig, owned and operated by DDGM, was allocated to grade control drilling. This provides additional information for improved ore definition and detailed geologic modeling that can bolster mining efficiencies and deliver ore from each area of the mine with the highest possible net smelter return (“NSR”) to the process plant.

The underground drill program continued to advance our 2024 exploration objectives of identifying new mineralization and defining and upgrading additional Mineral Resources identified during the previous drilling campaign. The second quarter drill results will be incorporated into a resource estimate update, which is currently scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024. Preliminary calculations show a positive increase in tonnage along with higher grades in the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems. Upon the completion of an additional 250 meters of exploration development scheduled to begin in the third quarter of 2024, expansion drilling will resume with the goal of expanding the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems along strike to the north-west as well as up- and down-dip.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2024, seven infill drill holes were completed for a total of 2,579 meters, one expansion drill hole was completed totaling 324 meters, and thirteen grade control drill holes were completed for a total of 907 meters. The positive initial drill results have validated the continued investment of capital in exploration drilling during 2024 and have underscored the area’s potential for future mineral expansion.

Exploration drilling in the second quarter of 2024 targeted the following zones at the Arista mine:

Infill drilling continued to prioritize the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems from Level 3 with the main objective of upgrading the Mineral Resources of these areas. Due to their proximity to existing mine infrastructure, these areas will provide efficient and shorter-haul access to near-term mine production opportunities. To date, the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems have been drill tested over a strike length of more than 700 meters, with both systems remaining open along strike to the northwest, as well as up- and down-dip.

Grade control drilling continued to focus on validating near-term production opportunities not previously realized within the mine. This included the Switchback system targeting the Sofia vein from Level 28, the SolRam5 and Selene veins from Level 14.5, as well as successfully testing the Chuy and Veta 3 veins from Level 21 of the Arista vein system. Definition of these zones allows mining operations increased flexibility in scheduling, ensuring improved operating efficiencies.

The difference between what we report as “ounces/tonnes produced” and “payable ounces/tonnes sold” is attributable to the difference between the quantities of metals contained in the concentrates we produce versus the portion of those metals actually paid for according to the terms of our sales contracts. Differences can also arise from inventory changes incidental to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades and recoveries, which impact the amounts of metals contained in concentrates produced and sold.

Second quarter 2024 compared to second quarter 2023

Production

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, total tonnes milled of 93,687 were 17% lower than in the same period in 2023. Metal production for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc decreased by 36%, 9%, 46%, 56%, and 43%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the same period last year, as a result of the lower tonnes processed and the lower metal grades that was expected and in line with the 2024 mine plan.

Grades & Recoveries

During the three months ended June 30, 2024, all of the ore processed came from the Arista system with an average gold grade of 1.27 g/t and silver grade of 102 g/t, compared to an average gold grade of 1.59 g/t and silver grade of 86 g/t, respectively, for the same period in 2023. For the three months ending June 30, 2024, the average gold grade was 20% lower and average silver grade was 19% higher when compared to the same period in 2023. As shown in the Technical Report Summary for DDGM incorporated by reference in the 2023 Annual Report (the “Technical Report Summary”), the ore grades are generally expected to decline over time in line with the life of mine average shown in the estimates of mineral reserves (as defined by subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, “Mineral Reserve”) and mineral resources (as defined by subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K, “Mineral Resource”) tables contained therein (the “Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Tables”). As grades decline, recoveries are expected to decline as well. Our base metals average grades during the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 0.26% for copper, 1.00% for lead, and 2.59% for zinc. The copper and zinc grades were lower by 30% and lead grades were lower by 39%, as compared to same period in 2023.

Gold and silver recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 77.1% and 85.5%, respectively, reflecting a 3% decrease for gold and a 7% decrease for silver over the same period in 2023. Copper, lead, and zinc recoveries for the three months ended June 30, 2024 were 74.7%, 65.8%, and 83.2%, respectively. Recoveries for copper, lead, and zinc in the three months ended June 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, declined by 6%, 12%, and 2%, respectively. As shown in the Technical Report Summary incorporated by reference in the 2023 Annual Report, future recoveries and grades are expected to align with the life of mine average shown in the Mineral Reserve and Mineral Resource Tables.

Second quarter 2024 compared to second quarter 2023

Sales, net

Net sales of $20.8 million for DDGM for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $4.0 million, or 16%, when compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in 2024 net sales is the result of decreased production volumes as outlined in the sales statistics table above. Additionally, treatment and refining charges during the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 57% as a result of the decline in second quarter 2024 production as compared to second quarter 2023 production.

Total cost of sales

Total cost of sales of $24.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 10% from $27.0 million for the same period in 2023. The $2.6 million decrease was primarily related to a $2.5 million decrease in production cost and a $0.6 million decrease in depreciation expense. Production costs of $17.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 are 12% lower than the production costs of $20.3 million for the same period in 2023. Although the cost of sales and production costs were lower during the second quarter of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 8% higher because the increased power rates and the stronger peso negatively impacted production costs.

Mine gross (loss) profit

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a mine gross loss of $3.6 million, compared to a mine gross loss of $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. Mine gross loss increased by $1.4 million, or 66%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in loss was primarily due to a $4.0 million, or 16% decrease in net sales, partially offset by a $2.5 million, or 12% decrease in production costs and a $0.6 million, or 10% decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses.

The relationship between sales and the cost of sales, and therefore mine gross profit, is not perfectly correlated to the tonnes of ore processed. While both sales and the cost of sales are impacted by the tonnes of ore processed, other factors, such as the grade of ore processed, metal commodity prices, and operating costs have a significant impact on mine gross profit. In the second quarter of 2024, the tonnes of ore processed decreased by 17%, and the total cost of sales decreased by 10% compared to the second quarter of 2023, due to a 9% lower cost per tonne processed; however, net sales decreased by 16%.

We expect grades to vary from period to period based upon the potential for unplanned changes to the annual mine plan. The gold grades are expected to trend downwards over time, toward the average grade of 1.29 g/t (exclusive of silver, copper, lead, and zinc contained grades), reflected in our mineral reserve estimate. However, as mine development progresses and infill drilling occurs, opportunities to access upgraded resources or refine mining methods and reduce dilution may have a favorable impact on future mined ore grades.

Net loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net loss of $27.7 million, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million during the same period in 2023. The $23.2 million increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the 16% decrease in net sales and the increased income tax expense due to the valuation allowance recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024 on the DDGM deferred tax assets.

Year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023

Sales, net

Net sales of $39.5 million for DDGM for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $16.5 million, or 29%, when compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease in 2024 net sales is the result of decreased sales volumes and lower realized metal prices for lead and zinc, as outlined in the sales statistics table above. Additionally, treatment and refining charges during the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 54% as a result of the decline in second quarter 2024 production as compared to second quarter 2023 production.

Total cost of sales

Total cost of sales of $45.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by 17% from $54.3 million for the same period in 2023. The $9.0 million decrease was primarily related to a $6.3 million decrease in production cost and a $3.7 million decrease in depreciation expense. Production costs of $33.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 are 16% lower than the production costs of $40.2 million for the same period in 2023. Although the cost of sales and production costs were lower during the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, the cost of sales as a percentage of revenue was 18% higher because the increased power rates and the stronger peso negatively impacted production costs.

Mine gross (loss) profit

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had a mine gross loss of $5.8 million, compared to a mine gross profit of $1.8 million six months ended June 30, 2023. Mine gross profit decreased by $7.5 million, or 427%, compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $16.6 million, or 30% decrease in net sales, partially offset by a $6.3 million, or 16% decrease in production costs and a $3.7 million, or 27% decrease in depreciation and amortization expenses.

The relationship between sales and the cost of sales, and therefore mine gross profit, is not perfectly correlated to the tonnes of ore processed. While both sales and the cost of sales are impacted by the tonnes of ore processed, other factors, such as the grade of ore processed, metal commodity prices, and operating costs have a significant impact on mine gross profit. In the six months ended June 30, 2024, the tonnes of ore processed decreased by 16%, and the total cost of sales decreased by 17%, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023; however, net sales decreased by 30%.

Net loss

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a net loss of $31.8 million, compared to a net loss of $5.6 million during the same period in 2023. The $26.1 million increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the 30% decrease in net sales and the increased income tax expense due to the valuation allowance recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2024 on the DDGM deferred tax assets.

The increase is due to the 45% lower amount of co-product credits we received during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and the 34% decrease in the total number of AuEq ounces sold, offset by a 54% decrease in total treatment and refining charges and a 16% decrease in production costs as a result of the decline in the six months ended June 30, 2024 production as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023 production.

Total consolidated all-in sustaining cost after co-product credits per AuEq oz sold: For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the total consolidated all-in sustaining cost after co-product credits per AuEq oz sold was $2,452 compared to $1,551 for the same period in 2023. The increase directly relates to the higher cash costs per ounce discussed above.

Total all-in cost after co-product credits per AuEq oz sold: For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the total all-in cost after co-product credits per AuEq oz sold was $2,574 compared to $1,744 for the same period in 2023. The increase is due to the higher all-in sustaining costs discussed above.

Underground and Exploration Development:

Mine development during the quarter included ramps, access to different areas of the deposit and ventilation shafts. No exploration or infill development was completed during the second quarter of 2024 as all drilling is being done from existing infrastructure developed in 2023. Additional exploration development is scheduled for the third quarter of 2024. As part of ongoing safety initiatives, the Company also invested in additional ground support and improved ventilation for the mine.

Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this report, we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced certain non-GAAP performance measures that we believe will assist with understanding the performance of our business. These measures are based on precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold and include (i) cash cost after co-product credits per ounce and (ii) all-in sustaining cost after co-product credits (“AISC”) per ounce, and (iii) all-in cost after co-product credits per ounce. Because the non-GAAP performance measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP, they may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, measures of performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of operating profit or cash flow from operations as determined under GAAP.

For financial reporting purposes, we report the sale of base metals as part of our revenue. Revenue generated from the sale of base metals in our concentrates is considered a co-product of our gold and silver production for the purpose of calculating our total cash cost after co-product credits for our Don David Gold Mine. We periodically review our revenues to ensure that our reporting of primary products and co-products is appropriate. Because we consider copper, lead, and zinc to be co-products of our precious metal production, the value of these metals continues to be applied as a reduction to total cash costs in our calculation of total cash cost after co-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce sold. Likewise, we believe identifying copper, lead, and zinc as co-product credits is appropriate due to their lower per unit economic value contribution compared to the precious metals and since gold and silver are the primary products we intend to produce.

Total cash cost after co-product credits is a measure developed by the Gold Institute to provide a uniform standard for industry comparison purposes, and it includes total cash cost before co-product credits, less co-product credits, or revenues earned from base metals.

AISC includes total cash cost after co-product credits plus other costs related to sustaining production, including allocated sustaining general and administrative expenses and sustaining capital expenditures. We determined sustaining capital expenditures as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan. AISC is calculated based on the current guidance from the World Gold Council.

Total all-in cost after co-product credits includes total AISC as described above, plus other growth investments, including exploration expenses and non-sustaining capital expenditures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2024, working capital was $14.3 million, consisting of current assets of $26.6 million and current liabilities of $12.3 million. This represents a $0.9 million, or 6%, decrease from the working capital balance of $15.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The primary factor influencing the decrease in our working capital were the cash used in investing activities of $4.0 million, partially offset by $1.4 million cash inflow from operating activities and $1.8 million cash inflow from financing activities due to the At The Market Agreement (“ATM”) sales, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows. Our working capital balance fluctuates as we use cash to fund our operations, financing and investing activities, including exploration, mine development, and income taxes. We believe that as a result of our cash balances, the performance of our current and expected operations, and the current metals prices, we will be able to meet our known obligations and other potential cash requirements for the next 12 months.

Long-term liabilities assumed with the Aquila acquisition, capital requirements to develop the Back Forty Project, and potential project financing may have an impact on liquidity in the long term. These long-term liabilities are contingent upon the approval of the Back Forty Project by the Company’s Board of Directors and securing project financing. Project financing requirements will not be determined until the Company Board of Directors approves a decision to proceed on the Project. The Board continues to evaluate options that could lead to the development of the Project.

Cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2024 decreased to $5.3 million from $6.3 million as of December 31, 2023, a net decrease in cash of $0.9 million. The decrease is primarily due to $4.0 million cash used in investing activities, partially offset by the $1.4 million cash provided by operating activities and the $1.8 million cash inflow from financing activities due to the ATM sales.

Of the $5.3 million cash balance as of June 30, 2024, $5.0 million was held in foreign subsidiaries, primarily held in U.S. dollar denominated accounts, with the remainder in foreign currencies readily convertible to U.S. dollars. The Don David Gold Mine’s primary source of liquidity is the sale of concentrates. The Don David Gold Mine has been self-sustaining since production commencement in 2010 and has been a source of cash for U.S. operations and projects.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.4 million, a 180% increase compared to the $0.5 million net cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2023. While net sales decreased by 30% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, due to lower grades and lower recoveries, production costs only decreased by 16% due to the stronger peso and higher inflation.

Net cash used in investing activities of $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 decreased from $6.0 million from the same period in 2023. The decrease is mainly attributed to planned reduction in investing activities to preserve cash. Investing activities in both 2024 and 2023 are mainly attributable to continued reinvestment in DDGM.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $1.8 million related to the ATM sales. Please see Note 13—Shareholders’ Equity in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) above for additional information.

While current macro risk factors, such as economic uncertainties and supply chain interruptions have not had a significant adverse impact on exploration plans, results of operations, financial position, and cash flows during the current fiscal year, future impacts are unknown at this time. However, we believe there is sufficient liquidity and capital resources to fund operations and corporate activities for the foreseeable future.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We use the words “anticipate,” “continue,” “likely,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “could,” “will,” “project,” “should,” “believe,” and similar expressions (including negative and grammatical variations) to identify forward looking statements. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding:

●

Our strategy for significant future investment in Oaxaca, Mexico, and in Michigan, USA, for development and exploration activities;

●

Our expectations regarding future grades and recoveries from mining at DDGM;

●

Expectations regarding capital investment, exploration spending, and general and administrative costs;

●

Future exploration plans at DDGM, including vein systems targeted for future exploration activity;

●

Compliance with existing legal and regulatory requirements, including future asset reclamation costs;

●

Estimates of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves;

●

Our expectations regarding whether dividends will be paid in the future;

●

Our ability to satisfy our obligations and other potential cash requirements over the next twelve months; and

●

The expected timing and success of the Back Forty Project with respect to permitting, detailed engineering, and project financing.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Rather, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations, and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict, and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

●

Commodity price fluctuations;

●

Mine protests and work stoppages;

●

Rock formations, faults and fractures, water flow and possible CO2 gas exhalation, or other unanticipated geological challenges;

●

Unexpected changes in business and economic conditions, including supply chain challenges, the rate of inflation, and their impact on operating and capital costs;

●

Changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates;

●

Adverse technological changes and cybersecurity threats;

●

Unanticipated increases in our operating costs and other costs of doing business;

●

The Company’s inability to secure financing when needed;

●

Access to land and availability of materials, equipment, supplies, labor and supervision, power, and water;

●

Results of current and future feasibility studies;

●

Interpretation of drill hole results and the geology, grade, and continuity of mineralization;

●

Litigation by private parties or regulatory action by governmental entities;

●

Acts of God, such as excessively wet weather, floods, earthquakes, and any other natural disasters;

●

The inherent uncertainty of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserve estimates; and

●

Such other factors are discussed below under Item 1A—Risk Factors in Part II—Other Information.

Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such expectations may prove to be materially incorrect due to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should not unduly rely on any of our forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to publicly release any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us and persons acting on our behalf are qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained in this section and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our exposure to market risks includes, but is not limited to, the following risks: changes in commodity prices, foreign currency exchange rates, provisional sales contract risks, changes in interest rates, and equity price risks. Currently, we do not use derivative financial instruments as part of an overall strategy to manage market risk. However, we may consider such arrangements in the future as we evaluate our business and financial strategy.

Commodity Price Risk

The results of our operations, cash flows, and financial condition largely depend upon the market prices of gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc. Metal prices fluctuate widely and are affected by numerous factors beyond our control. The level of interest rates, the rate of inflation, government fiscal and monetary policy, the stability of exchange rates, and the world supply of and demand for gold, silver, and other metals, among other factors, can all cause significant fluctuations in commodity prices. Such external economic factors are, in turn, influenced by changes in international investment patterns, monetary systems, and political developments. The metal price markets have fluctuated widely in recent years, and future price declines could cause a mineral project to become uneconomic, thereby having a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. Currently, we are not unitizing derivative contracts to protect the selling price for gold, silver, copper, lead, or zinc. We may, in the future, more actively manage our exposure through additional derivative contracts, although we have no intention of doing so in the near term.

In addition to materially adversely affecting our reserve estimates, results of operations and/or our financial condition, declining gold and silver prices could require a reassessment of the feasibility of a project. Even if a project is ultimately determined to be economically viable, the need to conduct such a reassessment may cause delays in the implementation of a project.

Foreign Currency Risk

Our foreign operation sells its gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc production based on U.S. dollar metal prices. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates do not have a material impact on our revenue since gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc are sold worldwide in U.S. dollars.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase or decrease our costs to the extent that we pay costs in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. We are primarily impacted by Mexican peso rate changes relative to the U.S. Dollar, as we incur some costs in the Mexican peso. When the value of the peso rises in relation to the U.S. Dollar, some of our costs in Mexico may increase, thus materially adversely affecting our operating results. Alternatively, when the value of the peso drops in relation to the U.S. Dollar, peso-denominated costs in Mexico will decrease in U.S. Dollar terms. Future fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect our financial results. Approximately 50% to 60% of expenses are paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar.

We have not utilized market-risk sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. However, we may, in the future, actively manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Provisional Sales Contract Risk

We enter into concentrate sales contracts, which, in general, provide for a provisional payment to us based upon provisional assays and prices. The provisionally priced sales contracts contain an embedded derivative that is required to be separated from the host contract for accounting purposes. The host contract is the receivable from the sale of concentrates determined at the quoted metal prices at the time of shipment delivery to the customer. The embedded derivative, which does not qualify for hedge accounting, is adjusted to market through revenue each period prior to settlement. Changes in the prices of metals between the shipment delivery and the final settlement date will result in adjustments to revenues related to the sales of concentrate previously recorded upon shipment delivery. Please see Note 14—Derivatives in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) above for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

We consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time, as our interest rate is related and embedded in immaterial payments for office leases.

Equity Price Risk

We have, in the past, and may in the future, seek to acquire additional funding through the sale of common stock and other equity. The price of our common stock has been volatile in the past and may also be volatile in the future. As a result, there is a risk that we may not be able to sell our common stock at an acceptable price should the need for new equity funding arise.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

During the fiscal period covered by this report, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended).

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

In February 2020, a local Ejido community (who claim to be an indigenous community) filed an injunction against the Mexican federal government through which they demanded the cancellation of several DDGM concession titles. The federal government ordered a suspension to prevent work related to excavating, drilling, opening tunnels and exploiting the mineral resources on the surface and subsoil of the concessions named in the injunction. Presently, the Don David Gold Mine does not perform such works in the named concessions in lands of the indigenous community. The lawsuit filed in February 2020 has not progressed to a final ruling.
