Exhibit 99.1

GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION COMPLETES $5.18 MILLION PRIVATE PLACEMENT;

ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO SUSTAIN ACCELERATED EXPLORATION SCHEDULE

Private placement priced 20% above September 2006 IPO

DENVER - December 8, 2006 - Gold Resource Corporation (GRC) (OTCBB: GORO) today announced it has closed a $5.186 million private placement of 4.322 million shares of restricted common stock at $1.20 per share, with no warrants.

In September 2006, GRC completed an initial public offering of 4.6 million shares at $1.00 per share. The Company originally planned to sell 7 million shares in the IPO, but due to time constraints, the offering was closed early at 4,600,000 shares. The recent private placement has secured additional funds and has done so at a share price 20% higher than the initial offering. The additional funding will allow GRC to maintain its accelerated exploration schedule, which management anticipates will lead to an early-2007 production decision related to the Company’s El Aguila high-grade gold and silver project in Oaxaca, Mexico.

William W. Reid, GRC’s president, said, “This funding will allow us to immediately initiate our feasibility study, prepare for construction of a new road that will access both our proposed mill site and new drill targets identified in our recent geochemical survey, and bring in a second drill to accelerate exploration of this exciting high-grade gold and silver property. These funds should be sufficient to get us to a production decision within our targeted time frame.”

About GRC

GRC is a production-oriented mining company pursuing development of gold and silver projects that feature low operating costs and produce high returns on capital. The Company is specifically focused on three potential high-grade gold and silver properties in Mexico’s southern state of Oaxaca.
