This brochure contains statements that plan for or anticipate the future. Forward-looking statements include statements about the Company's ability to develop and produce gold or other precious metals, statements about our future business plans and strategies, statements about future revenue and the receipt of working capital, and most other statements that are not historical in nature. Forward-looking statements are often identified by words such as "anticipate," "plan," "believe," "expect," "estimate," and the like. Because forward-looking statements involve future risks and uncertainties, there are factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied, including those described in our filings with the SEC. Prospective investors are urged not to put undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. This presentation is to be read in conjunction with the most current 10K available at the Securities & Exchange Commission website www.sec.gov. or www.Goldresourcecorp.com Forward Looking Statements 2

Gold Manipulation 49 Feb 23, 2015 (Bloomberg) – -The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the world’s biggest banks for manipulating prices of precious metals such as silver and gold (having already been caught and fined for manipulating LIBOR, FX, etc ) -At least 10 banks, including Barclays Plc, JPMorgan Chase & Co., Credit Suisse Group AG, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Societe Generale SA, Bank of Nova Scotia, and Standard Bank Group Ltd. and Deutsche Bank AG, are being probed by the Justice Department’s antitrust division for metal price manipulation http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-02-24/banks-said-to-face-u-s-manipulation-probe-over-metals-pricing Mentioned at 2015 AGM

Gold Price Discovery 53 All You Need to Know About China's New Shanghai Gold Fix Aimed at finding the market-wide price in the world's No.1 gold mining and importing nation, it will either complement, challenge or supersede the world's long-established daily benchmark set in London, according to officials, traders and analysts commenting on the launch. Both London and Shanghai also require physical delivery within 2 days of the auction. But while the LBMA Gold Price settles for large 400-ounce bars meeting the Association's Good Delivery specifications – and with a minimum fineness of 99.5% pure gold – the SGE's new price settles for 1-kilo gold bars meeting its own standard, set in consultation with the LBMA last July, requiring a fineness of not less than 99.99% https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-news/shanghai-gold-042120163 Thu, 04/21/2016 - 17:03

Why Gold, Why Now 56 China is taking delivery of physical gold while London and the U.S. COMEX trade and create more synthetic paper gold Shanghai Gold Exchange forcing more transparency and should ultimately control gold price fix once china has the gold holding they want and push there weight around Physical gold vs. paper gold war may end with paper gold defaults in London and on U.S. COMEX Manipulation of gold an silver heavily under fire Could be seeing the return of the precious metals bull market
