Gold Resource Corporation Clarifies Federal Open Pit Permit Announcement

DENVER, CO--(Marketwire - August 13, 2009) - Gold Resource Corporation (GRC) GORO GIH needs to clarify its previous press release of August 12, 2009. Information provided by its Mexican environmental consultant assisting GRC in obtaining the Federal permits prematurely informed the company it had been "granted the permit" but in fact it has not yet taken possession of the permit. Though the company believes this to be a technicality at this point and that the permit is very close to being issued to the company, it does not yet have it in its possession.
