FIRST QUARTER 2021 HIGHLIGHTS

Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are summarized below and discussed further in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis:

Strategic

● In addition to a new and highly accomplished CEO, Mr. Allen Palmiere, we have added three new independent directors, Ms. Lila Manassa Murphy, Mr. Joe Driscoll and Mr. Ron Little, to the Board of Directors. These additions to the Company’s leadership add the expertise necessary to focus on unlocking the value of our assets while implementing best in class governance.

● A Technical Advisory Committee of qualified professionals has been established that reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various technical aspects of exploration, operations and corporate development. Messrs Dale Finn and Joe Spiteri have been retained as initial members.

●For the seventh consecutive year, the Don David Gold Mine earned the prestigious Empresa Socialmente Responsable (“ESR”) award from the Mexican Center for Philanthropy (CEMEFI). Awards are given to organizations who demonstrate a commitment to supporting social and environmental protection programs within their local communities.

●Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on June 4, 2021 in a hybrid (virtual and in-person) meeting format. Information regarding notice, materials and voting can be found in the 2021 Proxy Statement filed at www.SEC.gov.

●$0.7 million distributed in shareholder dividends, totaling over $117 million since 2010.

Operational

●There have been no lost time incidents at the Don David Gold Mine during Q1 2021. The Company remains committed to safety, the environment and the communities around its operations.

●The Don David Gold Mine produced 6,097 gold ounces and 307,610 silver ounces or a total of 10,750 gold equivalent ounces, of which 5,019 gold ounces and 253,061 silver ounces were payable ounces sold at an average price per ounce of $1,787 and $26.77, respectively.

●Construction of the water filtration plant and dry stack tailings facilities progressed with an expected completion in the third quarter. The dry stack facilities will conserve water, accelerate reclamation of certain areas of the open pit mine as well as extend the life of tailings storage facilities.

●A total 262 meters of exploration underground development was completed along with 14 underground diamond drill holes (totaling 4,099 meters) at our Arista and Switchback vein systems.

Financial

●Our balance sheet remains strong with $27.2 million in cash as of March 31, 2021, an increase of $1.8 million since December 31, 2020.

●Cash from operating activities is $6.8 million.

●Net income of $2.5 million or $0.03 earnings per share for the period.

●Working capital from continuing operations increased 5% to $32.5 million during the quarter.

●Total cash cost is $408 per gold ounce equivalent (after co-product credits).¹

●Total all-in sustaining cost is $937 per gold ounce equivalent (after co-product credits).¹

¹ Total cash cost after co-product credits and all-in sustaining cost per gold equivalent ounce sold are non-GAAP financial measures. Please see the Non-GAAP Measures section of the Management's Discussion and Analysis and Results of Operations for a complete reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2021
(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim Condensed Consolidated 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 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, although 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 are not necessarily indicative of 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, 2020 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. 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 Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain items in the prior period’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications were mostly related to Discontinued Operations and separate presentation of stock-based compensation.

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Recent accounting pronouncements issued have been evaluated and do not presently impact our financial statements and supplemental data.

3. Discontinued Operations

On December 31, 2020, the Company completed its spin-off of its wholly-owned subsidiary Fortitude Gold Corporation and its subsidiaries (“FGC” or “Nevada Mining Unit”).

Effective December 31, 2020, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into an agreement with FGC that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off. The Management Services Agreement provides that the Company and its subsidiaries will provide services to FGC to assist in the transition of FGC as a separate company including, managerial and technical supervision, advisory and consultation with respect to mining operations, exploration, environmental, safety and sustainability matters. The Company will provide certain administrative services related to information technology, accounting and financial advisory services, legal and compliance support and investor relation and shareholder communication services. The agreed upon charges for services rendered are based on market rates that align with the rates that an unaffiliated service provider would charge for similar services. The Management Services Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2021, unless cancelled upon 30 days written notice by one party to the other. Due to the successful development, by FGC, of their own corporate, administrative and technical capabilities, the Company decided to terminate the Agreement and delivered a notice of termination on April 14, 2021 and therefore termination of the Agreement will be effective on May 21, 2021.

(2) Net of reserve for obsolescence of $209 as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

7. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes is calculated using the consolidated 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. The U.S. tax results are combined with the Company’s income in Mexico, taxed at 37.5% (30% income tax and 7.5% mining tax), and in Canada at 26.5%, which results in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory U.S. Federal rates. Both U.S. and Canada jurisdictions do not currently generate taxable income therefore have no impact on our consolidated effective tax rate.

Mexico Mining Taxation

Mining entities in Mexico are subject to two mining duties, in addition to the 30% Mexico corporate income tax: 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. The mining royalty tax is generally applicable to earnings before income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and interest. In calculating the mining royalty tax, there are no deductions related to depreciable costs from operational fixed assets. Both duties are tax deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, our effective tax rate applicable to the Company’s Mexican operations is substantially higher than the Mexico statutory rate. In addition, in Q1 2021 Mexico Tax Authorities introduced new tax regulation wherein exploration expenses that were previously 100% deductible in the year incurred are now being deducted at a rate of 10% per year for 10 years, same as for Income Tax purposes.

The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary to the U.S. in the form of dividends. Mexico requires a 10% withholding tax on dividends to foreign parent companies unless otherwise provided per a tax treaty. According to the existing U.S. – Mexico tax treaty, the dividend withholding tax between these countries is limited to 5%, if certain requirements are met. Based on the Company’s review of these requirements, it estimates it will pay a 5% withholding tax on dividends received from Mexico in 2021. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2021 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company believes that it has no liability for uncertain tax positions.

The U.S. Treasury Department issued final regulations in July 2020 concerning global intangible low-taxed income, commonly referred to as GILTI tax, and introduced by the Tax Act of 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The final tax regulations allow income to be excluded from GILTI tax that is subject to an effective tax rate higher than 90% of the U.S. tax rate (18.9%). The

9

Company completed its assessment of the new legislation during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and determined that due to this high tax exception, that GILTI tax was not incurred in Q1 2021.

8. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

Accumulated depreciation and amortization		(94,912)		(91,084)
Total	$	62,965	$	62,511

(1) Includes accrued capital expenditures of $0.8 million and $1.0 million at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

The Company recorded depreciation and amortization expense of $3.4 and $6.1 million and for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Depreciation is lower for the three months ending March 31, 2021 due to lower silver and base metal production.

10. Accrued Expenses and Other Current Liabilities

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following:

	2021		2020
	(Unaudited)
	(in thousands)
Accrued royalty payments		1,637		1,796
Dividends payable		248		247

11. Reclamation and Remediation

The following table presents the changes in reclamation and remediation obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020:

	2021		2020
	(Unaudited)
	(in thousands)
Reclamation liabilities – balance at beginning of period	$	1,890	$	2,003
Foreign currency exchange gain		(61)		(113)
Reclamation liabilities – balance at end of period		1,829		1,890
Asset retirement obligation – balance at beginning of period		1,208		1,105
Changes in estimate		7		82
Accretion		24		79
Foreign currency exchange gain		(39)		(58)
Asset retirement obligation – balance at end of period		1,200		1,208
Total period end balance	$	3,029	$	3,098

The Company’s undiscounted reclamation liabilities of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively, are related to the Aguila project 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 & Mine Development.

The Company’s asset retirement obligations reflect the additions to the asset for reclamation and remediation costs in Property, Plant & Mine Development, post 2013 development stage status, which are discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 8%. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s asset retirement obligation related to the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico was $1.2 million.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has equipment purchase commitments of approximately $0.7 million.

Other Contingencies

The Company has certain other contingencies resulting from litigation, claims, and other commitments that are subject to a variety of 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, and there can be no assurance that their ultimate disposition will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

13. Embedded Derivatives

Concentrate sales contracts contain embedded derivatives due to the provisional pricing terms for unsettled shipments. At the end of each reporting period, the Company records an adjustment to accounts receivable and revenue to reflect the mark-to-market adjustments for outstanding provisional invoices based on forward metal prices. Please see Note 18 for additional information.

11

The following table summarizes the Company’s unsettled sales contracts as of March 31, 2021 with the quantities of metals under contract subject to final pricing occurring through April 2021:

	Gold		Silver		Copper		Lead		Zinc
	(ounces)		(ounces)		(tonnes)		(tonnes)		(tonnes)
Under contract		4,531		302,534		534		1,398		4,842
Average forward price (per ounce or tonne)	$	1,806	$	26.13	$	8,386	$	2,004	$	2,759

14. Stock-Based Compensation

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, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock grants, stock units, performance shares, performance share units and performance cash. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, any award outstanding under the prior plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, implemented a program to issue Deferred Stock Units (DSUs). DSUs are a qualifying instrument under the terms of the Company’s 2016 Equity Plan and therefore do not require additional shareholder approval. The vesting and settlement terms of the DSUs are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the DSUs are awarded.

130,000 DSUs were granted to the Board of Directors during the period ended March 31, 2021 and are redeemable in cash or shares at the earlier of 10 years or upon the eligible directors’ termination. Termination is deemed to occur on the earliest of (1) the date of voluntary resignation or retirement of the director from the Board; (2) the date of death of the director; or (3) the date of removal of the director from the Board whether by shareholder resolution, failure to achieve re-election or otherwise; and on which date the director is not a director or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. These awards contain a cash settlement feature and are therefore classified as a liability and are marked to fair value each reporting period. The Company recorded $0.3 million of other non-current liability and expense based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price as of March 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a total of 2,614 RSUs vested, and shares were issued with an intrinsic value and a fair value of $6,692. No RSU’s vested during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $1.32 per share. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and RSUs and DSUs for the periods presented is as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
	(in thousands)
Stock options	$	227	$	222
Restricted stock units		(86)		248
Deferred stock units		343		-
Total	$	484	$	470

The Company has a short-term incentive plan for its executive officers that provides for the grant of either cash or stock-based bonus awards payable upon achievement of specified performance metrics (the “STIP”). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nil has been accrued related to the STIP.

12

15. Shareholders’ Equity

On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with an investment banking firm (“Agent”) 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 $75.0 million (the “Shares”), which was subsequently renewed in June 2020. The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) June 3, 2023 or (ii) the date that the ATM Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. An aggregate of 3,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold through the ATM Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2020 for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and other expenses, of $10.4 million. No ATM shares were sold during the first quarter of 2021.

For both of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.01 per common share, for an aggregate total of $0.7 million each three-month period.

16. Other (Income) Expense, net

Other (income) expense, net, for the periods presented consisted of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
	(in thousands)
Unrealized currency exchange loss	$	241	$	1,618
Realized currency exchange gain		(173)		(291)
Unrealized loss from gold and silver rounds/bullion, net (1)		66		151
Other income		(448)		(13)
Total	$	(314)	$	1,465

(1) 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 18.

17. Net Income per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are 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 and DSUs are considered to be dilutive in periods with net income.

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 3.9 million and 3.3 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $7.20 and $9.48 were outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during the reporting period, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

13

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

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Numerator:
Net income (loss) from continuing operations		2,527		(3,218)
Net income from discontinued operations		-		97
Net income (loss) (in thousands)	$	2,527	$	(3,121)
Denominator:
Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		74,405,031		66,022,202
Dilutive effect of share-based awards		356,851		-
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		74,761,882		66,022,202
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share:
Continuing operations		0.03		(0.05)
Discontinued operations		-		-
Basic and diluted net income (loss) per common share	$	0.03	$	(0.05)

18. 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 are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth certain of the Company’s assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	2021		2020		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,230	$	25,405	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion	$	593	$	671	Level 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,533	$	4,226	Level 2

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Gold and silver rounds/bullion consist of precious metals used for investment purposes and in the dividend program which are valued using quoted market prices. Please see Note 5 for additional information.

Accounts receivable, net include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers, net of embedded derivatives mark-to-market value of $0.1 as of March 31, 2021, and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2020. 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

14

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 and included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments. Please see Note 13 for additional information.

Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of these financial instruments were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as shown in the following table:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020		Statement of Operations Classification
	(in thousands)
Realized/unrealized derivative (loss) gain, net	$	(35)	$	(738)	Sales, net

20. COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a “pandemic”. On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a national health emergency with an immediate suspension order for all “non-essential” public and private sector business (which included mining) to mitigate the spread and transmission of the COVID-19. As a result, the Company suspended its Mexico operations and production on April 1, 2020. The Mexican government designated mining as an essential business in mid-May 2020 and as a result we were given approval to restart our operations on May 27, 2020. After a ramp-up period, the Company recommenced operations with appropriate safety measures in place to guard against and mitigate the virus and its spread.

15

As of the date of the issuance of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other significant impacts, including impairments, to the Company’s operations and financial statements. However, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if disruptions or delays in business developments and shipments of product occur. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including a decreased ability to raise additional capital when and if needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. The Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating activities (voluntary or involuntary). To provide additional flexibility to respond to potential downside scenarios, the Company utilized the ATM program that was previously in place to raise approximately $11.9 million through the sale of common stock during the first and second quarters of 2020 to provide additional financial flexibility. The Company believes that current working capital balances will be sufficient for the foreseeable future, although there is no assurance that will be the case.

21. Subsequent Events

On December 31, 2020, in connection with the spin-off by Gold Resource Corporation (the "Company" or "GRC") of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fortitude Gold Corporation ("FGC"), into a separate, public company, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the "Agreement") with FGC. Under the terms of the Agreement, GRC agreed to provide strategic, technical, management, and administrative support services to FGC. Due to the successful development, by FGC, of their own corporate, administrative and technical capabilities, the Company decided to terminate the Agreement and delivered a notice of termination on April 14, 2021. The Agreement provided that either party could terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice by one party to the other. Termination of the Agreement will be effective on May 21, 2021.

On Friday, April 23, 2021, a decree that reforms labor outsourcing in Mexico was published in the Federation’s Official Gazette. This new decree amends the outsourcing provisions of the Federal Labor Law (FLL), the Social Security Law, the Law of the Institute of the National Housing Fund for Workers, the Federal Fiscal Code (FFC), the Income Tax Law and the Value Added Tax Law. Under this new decree, operating companies will no longer be able to source their labor resources used to carry out the core business functions from services entities or third-party providers. The Company has been monitoring the guidance provided and has initiated the efforts to comply with the newly published reform. The overall impact of the new decree and its provisions continue to be assessed.

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”, or “us”) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and compares those results to the three months ended March 31, 2020It also analyzes our financial condition at March 31, 2021 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion and analysis and the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes for the year ended December 31, 2020 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

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, please see the discussion under “Non-GAAP Measures”.

See Forward-Looking Statements at the end of this Item 2 for important information regarding statements contained herein.

Overview

We are a mining company which pursues gold and silver projects that are expected to achieve both low operating costs and high returns on capital. The Don David Gold Mine consists of six projects and includes mineral production primarily from the Arista underground mine and to a lesser extent the Aguila open pit mine, both of which are located at the Aguila project. These two mines supply ore to our processing facilities also located at the Aguila project. We produce gold and silver doré and metal concentrates which contain precious metals of gold and silver and base metals of copper, lead and zinc.

In our financial statements, we report the sale of precious and base metals as revenue, and we periodically review our revenue streams to ensure that this treatment remains appropriate. We consider precious metals to be the long-term primary driver of our economic decisions and believe that base metals are secondary products for non-GAAP financial measures.

Precious metal gold equivalent is determined by taking gold ounces produced or sold, plus silver ounces produced or sold converted to precious metal gold equivalent ounces using the gold to silver average realized price ratio for the

period.

COVID-19 Pandemic

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) announced a global health emergency because of a new strain of coronavirus. In March 2020, the WHO classified the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic based on the rapid increase in global exposure. In response to the pandemic, many jurisdictions, including the United States and Mexico, instituted restrictions on travel, public gatherings, and certain business operations.

On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a national health emergency with an immediate suspension order for all “non-essential” public and private sector business (which included mining). As a result, we suspended our Mexico operations and production on April 1, 2020. The Mexican government then designated mining as an essential business in mid-May 2020 and as a result, we were given approval to restart our operations on May 27, 2020.

To mitigate the spread of COVID-19 and protect the health and safety of our employees, contractors, and communities, we have taken precautionary measures including specialized training, social distancing, screening workers before they enter facilities, a work from home mandate where possible, and close monitoring of national and regional COVID-19 impacts and governmental guidelines. Since our non-mining workforce is able to work remotely using various technology tools, we are able to maintain our operations and internal controls over financial reporting and disclosures.

17

We are not able to estimate the long-term impact of COVID-19 on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity for fiscal year 2021. However, we believe we have sufficient liquidity available from operating cash flow and cash on hand going forward.

Results of Operations​

Don David Gold Mine

Mine activities during the first quarter included development and ore extraction from the Arista mine, while maintaining strict COVID-19 safety protocols to keep employees safe. The following Production Statistics table summarizes certain information about our Don David Gold Mine operations for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended March 31,

Copper (tonnes)		441		488
Lead (tonnes)		1,737		2,514
Zinc (tonnes)		4,377		5,844

(1) Based on actual days the mill operated during the period.

(2) The difference between what we report as "Metal Production" and "Metal 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 related to shipping schedules, or variances in ore grades and recoveries which impact the amount of metals contained in concentrates produced and sold.

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Don David Gold Mine production totaled 6,097 gold ounces and 307,610 silver ounces, representing a decrease of 5% and 24% in gold and silver production, respectively, from the same period in 2020. The decrease relates in part to lower production tonnage.

Production Volumes

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we processed ore at a rate of 1,604 ore tonnes per day, as compared to 1,994 ore tonnes per day for the same period in 2020. Tonnes milled were 20% lower for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 consistent with our mine plan for the year.

18

The paste fill plant continues to provide substantial efficiencies by returning 197,000 tonnes of processing waste to underground workings since it started to operate in 2019. Such waste would have otherwise been placed in the tailings’ storage facility. The paste fill is an effective method of reducing surface tailings and provides structural ground support that allows for more complete mining of mineral reserves. In addition, the plant reduces overall water waste by 17% due to the rheological characteristics required in paste production.

Grades & Recoveries

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the majority of ore processed came from the Arista underground mine with an average gold grade of 1.68 g/t and silver grade of 78 g/t, compared with 1.54 g/t and 82 g/t, respectively, for the same period in 2020. The average gold grade was 9% higher and silver grade 4% lower consistent with mine sequencing and the current year mine plan.

Our base metals average grades during the three months ended March 31, 2021 were 0.43% copper, 1.70% lead, and 4.29% zinc, compared to 0.39% copper, 1.99% lead, and 4.67% zinc, for the same period in 2020. Overall base metal grades and recoveries were slightly lower during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020, as a result of mining higher in the Switchback vein system of the Arista Mine.

The following Sales Statistics table summarizes certain information about our Don David Gold Mine operations for the periods indicated:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Metal sold
Gold (ozs.)		5,019		4,992
Silver (ozs.)		253,061		355,228
Copper (tonnes)		382		428
Lead (tonnes)		1,176		1,964
Zinc (tonnes)		3,134		4,356
Average metal prices realized (1)
Gold ($ per oz.)		1,787		1,670
Silver ($ per oz.)		26.77		17.03
Copper ($ per tonne)		8,873		5,530
Lead ($ per tonne)		2,082		1,691
Zinc ($ per tonne)		2,797		1,888
Precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold
Gold Ounces		5,019		4,992
Gold Equivalent Ounces from Silver		3,791		3,622
Total AuEq oz		8,810		8,614

(1) Average metal prices realized vary from the market metal prices due to final settlement adjustments from our provisional invoices when they are settled. Our average metal prices realized will therefore differ from the average market metal prices in most cases.

(2) Total cash cost after co-product credits are significantly affected by base metals sales during the periods presented.

 For the three months ended March 31, 2021, mine gross profit increased by $8.4 million, compared with the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased average realized prices for gold, silver, copper, and zinc, as well as lower production cost and depreciation/amortization expenses.

Don David Gold Mine net sales of $27.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by $5.1 million, or 23%, when compared to 2020. The increase in our 2021 sales was primarily due to increased average realized prices for gold, silver, copper, and zinc (refer to Footnote 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). Additionally, contributing to the higher net sales was a $3 million or 50% decrease in concentrate treatment charges which are net against concentrate sales.

19

Operating Costs

Total production costs of $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 are 4% lower than the production costs of $16.0 million for the same period in 2020. The decrease is related to the decrease in sales volumes discussed above.

Treatment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $2.9 million, or $618 per base metal tonne sold, compared to $5.8 million, or $860 per base metal tonne sold for the same period in 2020. This 28% decrease in the per base metal tonne sold was expected as a result of the recent negotiations of new treatment charge agreements. The decrease is dependent on the spot treatment charge market for zinc, which can be volatile.

2021 Q1 Capital Updates

Mine Development: Underground mine development and construction during the quarter included ramps and accesses to different areas of the deposit. A total of 1,683 meters of underground development, at a cost of $1.1 million, was completed including access to new exploration diamond drilling platforms on level 17. For Q1 2021, this investment totaled $1.1 million, and we plan to invest a total of $9.8 million in mine development during 2021.

Gold Regrind Project: Metallurgical testing, full scale design, and engineering of a tailings regrind circuit were completed, including procuring certain components and equipment for this project. The new circuit is expected to increase gold recovery by 6% to 10% by regrinding sulfide mill tailings followed by a leaching circuit to produce doré bars. Completion and commissioning are expected by the fourth quarter. Plans are to invest $1.9 million in the project.

Dry Stack Project: Significant construction progress was made on the filtration plant and dry stack tailings project which is on track for completion in the third quarter 2021. The dry stacked tailings will accelerate reclamation of certain areas of the open pit mine, provide efficient storage of tailings and reduce water consumption as approximately 80% of

20

the process water will be available for reuse. As of March 31, 2021, $9.0 million has been invested in this project with another $4.5 million expected prior to completion.

2021 Q1 Exploration Updates

We perform exploration activities at our portfolio of exploration properties in Oaxaca, Mexico. All the properties that make up our Don David Gold Mine are located along what is known as the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur mountain range. Our properties comprise 55 kilometers of this structural corridor, which trends north 70 degrees west and spans three historic mining districts within Oaxaca. Exploration activity has focused on the Aguila project and continues to demonstrate our commitment to long-term investment in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Aguila project: During the quarter, underground development of 262 meters was completed on the southern dedicated exploration drift project, while drilling was undertaken from the dedicated northern exploration drift. Underground drilling for exploration of new targets and for further expansion of veins, currently in production, for reserve definition was undertaken from various locations within the Arista mine. We completed 14 underground diamond drill holes, totaling 4,099 meters of drilling. One surface diamond drill hole on the Aguila project was collared and is ongoing, totaling 1,074 meters to date. Exploration activities were focused on the Switchback vein system, which extends for over a kilometer of strike length and remains open both along strike and vertically. Exploration drilling mainly targeted expansion and delineation of multiple high grade parallel veins within the Switchback vein system, to define additional reserves and optimize the mine plan. Drilling has also targeted the Arista – Switchback extensional corridor and along strike extensions of the Arista and Switchback systems beyond current mine limits. Surface geologic mapping and rock chip sampling has continued in the vicinity of the Aguila open pit, the Arista Mine, and to the southeast of the mine along the strike continuity of the Arista vein system.

Alta Gracia project: Exploration activity focused on analysis of the Aguacatillo soil sampling program completed in 2020 and planning for an exploration program, including soil sampling, over a new prospect know as La Fundicion. No drilling is planned in this area in 2021 due to our focus on the Aguila Project.

Mine gross profit - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, mine gross profit increased by $8.4 million compared to the same period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to increased average realized prices for gold, silver, copper, and zinc and the lower base metal treatment and refining costs.

General and administrative expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, general and administrative expenses totaled $1.6 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period of 2020. The $0.2 million decrease in 2021 is the result of restructuring related to the spin-off of FGC.

Restructuring expenses - Restructuring expenses of $0.5 million were incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for legal, accounting, consulting, and employee severance compensation related to the spin-off of Fortitude Gold Corporation.

Exploration expenses - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, property exploration expenses totaled $1.2 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period in 2020. The increase of $0.2 million was the result of increasing efforts to invest in exploration activities in Oaxaca, Mexico.

Stock-based compensation - Stock compensation of $0.5 million remained unchanged for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period of 2020. The Q1 2021 expense includes $0.3 million related to deferred share units (DSU).

Other (income) expense, net - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $0.3 million of Other expense was recorded compared to $1.5 million during the same period of 2020. The decrease was mainly due to a strengthened Mexico currency over the U.S. dollar during the period as compared to Q1 2020.

Provision for income taxes - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, income tax expense decreased to $2.6 million from $10.0 million from the same period in 2020. The 2021 income tax expense is primarily driven by the tax allocations required as a result of the Fortitude Spin-Off. Please see Note 7 for additional information.

Net Income (loss) from continuing operations - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded $2.5 million of net income from continuing operations compared to net loss from continuing operations of $3.2 million during the same period in 2021. The change was attributable to the factors noted above.

Net income (loss) from discontinued operations - No income (loss) was recorded for the period from discontinued operations due to the completion of the spin-off as of December 31, 2020. A net income of $0.1 million was reported for the same period in 2020.

22

Net income (loss) - For the three months ended March 31, 2021, $2.5 million in net income was recorded compared to a net loss of $4.7 million during the same period in 2021. The change was attributable to the factors noted above.

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 which we believe will assist with understanding the performance of our business. These measures are based on precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold and include cash cost before co-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after co-product credits per ounce, and total all-in sustaining cost per ounce (“AISC”). 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 the identification of copper, lead and zinc as co-product credits is appropriate because of their lower per unit economic value compared to gold and silver 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. AISC is calculated based on the current guidance from the World Gold Council.

Total cash cost before co-product credits includes all direct and indirect production costs related to our production of metals (including mining, milling and other plant facility costs, smelter treatment and refining charges, royalties, and site general and administrative costs) less stock-based compensation allocated to production costs plus treatment and refining costs.

Total cash cost after co-product credits 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.

Cash cost before co-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after co-product credits per ounce and AISC are calculated by dividing the relevant costs, as determined using the cost elements noted above, by precious metal gold equivalent ounces sold for the periods presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have a disciplined cash allocation strategy of maintaining financial flexibility to execute our capital priorities and generate long-term value for our shareholders. Consistent with the strategy, we aim to self-fund development projects and make strategic partnerships focused on profitable growth, while returning cash to shareholders through dividends.

Of the $27.2 million cash balance as at March 31, 2021, $22.3 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 doré and concentrates. The Don David Gold Mine has been self-sustaining since production commencement in 2010 and has provided excess cash for U.S. operations and projects, including a substantial amount of capital for the Nevada Mining Unit that was spun-off in 2020.

As of March 31, 2021, the working capital of $32.5 million, consists of current assets of $44.5 million and current liabilities of $12.0 million. This represents a 5% increase or $1.7 million from the working capital balance of $30.8 million at December 31, 2020. The primary factors influencing the increase in our working capital was cash provided by operating activities of $6.3 million, offset by $4.3 million of cash used in investing activities.

The 2021 capital investments are expected to total $21 million. As of March 31, 2021, capital investments totaled $4.3 million including $0.4 million for the gold regrind circuit, $1.7 million for the dry stack plant, $1.1 million for underground development and $0.8 million for other sustaining capital.

While COVID-19 has not had an 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.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.8 million to $27.2 million during the first three months of 2021.

24

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was $6.8 million compared with $5.4 million for the same period in 2020. The change is primarily due to timing of receivables benefiting 2021. These increases were offset by a reduction in net income in 2021 compared to 2020.

Net cash used in investing activities of $4.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $0.8 million from the same period in 2020 as a result of capital expenditures in Mexico as several projects were completed in 2019.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was a net outflow of ($0.6) million compared to a net inflow of $5.2 million for same period in 2020. The decrease is primarily related to discontinued operations cash outflows and no sales of common shares under our ATM agreement in 2020, as well as higher dividend payments made to our shareholders in 2021 as compared to 2020.

Accounting Developments

For a discussion of Recently Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements, please see Note 2 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 31, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) adopted amendments to modernize the property disclosure requirements for mining registrants, and related guidance, which are currently set forth in Item 102 of Regulation S-K, Subpart 1300 (aka S-K 1300) under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”) and in Industry Guide 7. The amendments replaced Guide 7 and are intended to provide investors with a more comprehensive understanding of a registrant’s mining properties, which should help them make more informed investment decisions. The amendments also will more closely align the Commission’s disclosure requirements and policies for mining properties with current industry and global regulatory practices and standards, as embodied by the Committee for Reserves International Reporting Standards (“CRIRSCO”). Registrants must comply with the new rules for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021. The Company is in the process of implementing the new guidance and assessing the impact on the control environment and the financial results.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that may be made from time to time, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

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. 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 depend in large part upon the market prices of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc. Gold and silver 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, 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 price of gold and silver has 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. We have not entered into derivative contracts to protect the selling price for gold or silver. We may in the future more actively manage our exposure through derivative contracts or other commodity price risk management programs, although we have no intention of doing so in the near-term.

In addition to 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.

26

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 throughout the world in U.S. dollars.

Foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations can increase or decrease our costs to the extent 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 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. These fluctuations do not impact our revenues since we sell our metals in U.S. Dollars. Future fluctuations may give rise to foreign currency exposure, which may affect our financial results. Approximately 50% and 60% of Costs applicable to sales were paid in currencies other than the U.S. dollar during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

We have not utilized market-risk sensitive instruments to manage our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates but 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 final settlement date will result in adjustments to revenues related to the sales of concentrate previously recorded upon shipment delivery. Please see Note 13 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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 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, carried out an evaluation 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 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods and are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

27

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting – There were no changes that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation.

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 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, DDGM 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 as courts have been closed for extended periods of time due to the worldwide pandemic.

ITEM 1A: Risk Factors

“Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes a discussion of our known material risk factors, other than risks that could apply to any issuer or offering. There have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.

Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The interim Condensed Consolidated 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 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, although 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 are not necessarily indicative of 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, 2020 included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K. 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 Company’s annual report on Form 10-K.

Certain items in the prior period’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications were mostly related to Discontinued Operations and separate presentation of stock-based compensation.

Effective December 31, 2020, in connection with the Spin-Off, the Company entered into an agreement with FGC that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off. The Management Services Agreement provides that the Company and its subsidiaries will provide services to FGC to assist in the transition of FGC as a separate company including, managerial and technical supervision, advisory and consultation with respect to mining operations, exploration, environmental, safety and sustainability matters. The Company will provide certain administrative services related to information technology, accounting and financial advisory services, legal and compliance support and investor relation and shareholder communication services. The agreed upon charges for services rendered are based on market rates that align with the rates that an unaffiliated service provider would charge for similar services. The Management Services Agreement will terminate on December 31, 2021, unless cancelled upon 30 days written notice by one party to the other. Due to the successful development, by FGC, of their own corporate, administrative and technical capabilities, the Company decided to terminate the Agreement and delivered a notice of termination on April 14, 2021 and therefore termination of the Agreement will be effective on May 21, 2021.

Income Taxes

7. Income Taxes

The Company recorded an income tax expense of $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes is calculated using the consolidated 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. The U.S. tax results are combined with the Company’s income in Mexico, taxed at 37.5% (30% income tax and 7.5% mining tax), and in Canada at 26.5%, which results in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory U.S. Federal rates. Both U.S. and Canada jurisdictions do not currently generate taxable income therefore have no impact on our consolidated effective tax rate.

Mexico Mining Taxation

Mining entities in Mexico are subject to two mining duties, in addition to the 30% Mexico corporate income tax: 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. The mining royalty tax is generally applicable to earnings before income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortization, and interest. In calculating the mining royalty tax, there are no deductions related to depreciable costs from operational fixed assets. Both duties are tax deductible for income tax purposes. As a result, our effective tax rate applicable to the Company’s Mexican operations is substantially higher than the Mexico statutory rate. In addition, in Q1 2021 Mexico Tax Authorities introduced new tax regulation wherein exploration expenses that were previously 100% deductible in the year incurred are now being deducted at a rate of 10% per year for 10 years, same as for Income Tax purposes.

The Company periodically transfers funds from its Mexican wholly-owned subsidiary to the U.S. in the form of dividends. Mexico requires a 10% withholding tax on dividends to foreign parent companies unless otherwise provided per a tax treaty. According to the existing U.S. – Mexico tax treaty, the dividend withholding tax between these countries is limited to 5%, if certain requirements are met. Based on the Company’s review of these requirements, it estimates it will pay a 5% withholding tax on dividends received from Mexico in 2021. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2021 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company believes that it has no liability for uncertain tax positions.

The U.S. Treasury Department issued final regulations in July 2020 concerning global intangible low-taxed income, commonly referred to as GILTI tax, and introduced by the Tax Act of 2017. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations. The final tax regulations allow income to be excluded from GILTI tax that is subject to an effective tax rate higher than 90% of the U.S. tax rate (18.9%). The

Company completed its assessment of the new legislation during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and determined that due to this high tax exception, that GILTI tax was not incurred in Q1 2021.

The Company’s undiscounted reclamation liabilities of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2021 and $1.9 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively, are related to the Aguila project 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 & Mine Development.

The Company’s asset retirement obligations reflect the additions to the asset for reclamation and remediation costs in Property, Plant & Mine Development, post 2013 development stage status, which are discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 8%. As of March 31, 2021, and December 31, 2020, the Company’s asset retirement obligation related to the Don David Gold Mine in Mexico was $1.2 million.

Stock-Based Compensation

14. Stock-Based Compensation

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, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock grants, stock units, performance shares, performance share units and performance cash. Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plan, any award outstanding under the prior plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

Effective January 1, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors, on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, implemented a program to issue Deferred Stock Units (DSUs). DSUs are a qualifying instrument under the terms of the Company’s 2016 Equity Plan and therefore do not require additional shareholder approval. The vesting and settlement terms of the DSUs are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time the DSUs are awarded.

130,000 DSUs were granted to the Board of Directors during the period ended March 31, 2021 and are redeemable in cash or shares at the earlier of 10 years or upon the eligible directors’ termination. Termination is deemed to occur on the earliest of (1) the date of voluntary resignation or retirement of the director from the Board; (2) the date of death of the director; or (3) the date of removal of the director from the Board whether by shareholder resolution, failure to achieve re-election or otherwise; and on which date the director is not a director or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates. These awards contain a cash settlement feature and are therefore classified as a liability and are marked to fair value each reporting period. The Company recorded $0.3 million of other non-current liability and expense based on the fair value of the Company’s stock price as of March 31, 2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, a total of 2,614 RSUs vested, and shares were issued with an intrinsic value and a fair value of $6,692. No RSU’s vested during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $1.32 per share. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Stock-based compensation expense for stock options and RSUs and DSUs for the periods presented is as follows:

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020

Stock options	$	227	$	222

The Company has a short-term incentive plan for its executive officers that provides for the grant of either cash or stock-based bonus awards payable upon achievement of specified performance metrics (the “STIP”). As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, nil has been accrued related to the STIP.

On April 3, 2018, the Company entered into an At-The-Market Offering Agreement (the “ATM Agreement”) with an investment banking firm (“Agent”) 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 $75.0 million (the “Shares”), which was subsequently renewed in June 2020. The ATM Agreement will remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (i) June 3, 2023 or (ii) the date that the ATM Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. An aggregate of 3,850,000 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold through the ATM Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2020 for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and other expenses, of $10.4 million. No ATM shares were sold during the first quarter of 2021.

For both of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company declared and paid dividends of $0.01 per common share, for an aggregate total of $0.7 million each three-month period.

Net Income per Common Share

17. Net Income per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share are 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 and DSUs are considered to be dilutive in periods with net income.

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 3.9 million and 3.3 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $7.20 and $9.48 were outstanding at March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during the reporting period, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

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

	Three months ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Numerator:
Net income (loss) from continuing operations		2,527		(3,218)

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

18. 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 are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth certain of the Company’s assets measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

	2021		2020		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	27,230	$	25,405	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion	$	593	$	671	Level 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	3,533	$	4,226	Level 2

Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, which approximates fair value. Gold and silver rounds/bullion consist of precious metals used for investment purposes and in the dividend program which are valued using quoted market prices. Please see Note 5 for additional information.

Accounts receivable, net include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers, net of embedded derivatives mark-to-market value of $0.1 as of March 31, 2021, and $0.2 million as of December 31, 2020. 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 and included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments. Please see Note 13 for additional information.

Gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of these financial instruments were included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as shown in the following table:

20. COVID-19 Pandemic

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a respiratory disease caused by a new novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) as a “pandemic”. On March 31, 2020, the Mexican government issued a national health emergency with an immediate suspension order for all “non-essential” public and private sector business (which included mining) to mitigate the spread and transmission of the COVID-19. As a result, the Company suspended its Mexico operations and production on April 1, 2020. The Mexican government designated mining as an essential business in mid-May 2020 and as a result we were given approval to restart our operations on May 27, 2020. After a ramp-up period, the Company recommenced operations with appropriate safety measures in place to guard against and mitigate the virus and its spread.

As of the date of the issuance of these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, there have been no other significant impacts, including impairments, to the Company’s operations and financial statements. However, the long-term impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the outbreak and related advisories and restrictions. These developments and the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets and the overall economy are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. If the financial markets and/or the overall economy are impacted for an extended period, the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows may be materially adversely affected. The Company is not able to estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on its business if disruptions or delays in business developments and shipments of product occur. In addition, a severe prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to the business, including a decreased ability to raise additional capital when and if needed on acceptable terms, if at all. As the situation continues to evolve, the Company will continue to closely monitor market conditions and respond accordingly. The Company has completed various scenario planning analyses to consider potential impacts of COVID-19 on its business, including volatility in commodity prices, temporary disruptions and/or curtailments of operating activities (voluntary or involuntary). To provide additional flexibility to respond to potential downside scenarios, the Company utilized the ATM program that was previously in place to raise approximately $11.9 million through the sale of common stock during the first and second quarters of 2020 to provide additional financial flexibility. The Company believes that current working capital balances will be sufficient for the foreseeable future, although there is no assurance that will be the case.

On December 31, 2020, in connection with the spin-off by Gold Resource Corporation (the "Company" or "GRC") of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Fortitude Gold Corporation ("FGC"), into a separate, public company, the Company entered into a Management Services Agreement (the "Agreement") with FGC. Under the terms of the Agreement, GRC agreed to provide strategic, technical, management, and administrative support services to FGC. Due to the successful development, by FGC, of their own corporate, administrative and technical capabilities, the Company decided to terminate the Agreement and delivered a notice of termination on April 14, 2021. The Agreement provided that either party could terminate the Agreement upon 30 days written notice by one party to the other. Termination of the Agreement will be effective on May 21, 2021.

On Friday, April 23, 2021, a decree that reforms labor outsourcing in Mexico was published in the Federation’s Official Gazette. This new decree amends the outsourcing provisions of the Federal Labor Law (FLL), the Social Security Law, the Law of the Institute of the National Housing Fund for Workers, the Federal Fiscal Code (FFC), the Income Tax Law and the Value Added Tax Law. Under this new decree, operating companies will no longer be able to source their labor resources used to carry out the core business functions from services entities or third-party providers. The Company has been monitoring the guidance provided and has initiated the efforts to comply with the newly published reform. The overall impact of the new decree and its provisions continue to be assessed.
