2024年第三季度 概要
2024年9月30日結束的三個月彙總如下,並在下面進一步討論 項目2-管理層對財務狀況和經營業績的討論和分析:
唐·戴維德金礦
● | 2024年第三季度,位於墨西哥的Don David金礦(「DDGM」)生產和銷售了總共3,526盎司黃金當量(「AuEq」),包括1,357盎司黃金和181,434盎司白銀,平均銷售價格分別爲每盎司$2,561和$30.61。 |
● | 從第三季度開始,DDGm地下金剛石鑽探計劃取得了積極進展,有兩臺鑽機在運行。直到新的鑽井站點開發出來更進一步測試Three Sisters系統之前,鑽探的重點戰略性地轉移到了對Arista礦脈系統的西北延伸進行補充,目標是進一步定義、擴展和升級該區域的Marena North、Santa Cecilia和Splay 31礦脈的礦產資源。爲了保持現金流,補充鑽探在2024年8月1日暫停。評級控制鑽探在第三季度按計劃繼續進行,重點是最大化Arista和Switchback礦脈系統未來生產計劃中礦化的潛在經濟回報。 |
● | 本季度未發生任何失時事件,導致截至目前爲止的工傷頻率爲「零」,安全記錄。安全對公司至關重要。公司致力於在每個季度繼續保持其優異的記錄,並着力改進安全措施、意識和培訓。 |
公司和財務
● | Gold Resource Corporation及其子公司(「我們」,「我們的」,「我們的」或「公司」)截至2024年9月30日,經營資金爲610萬美元,現金爲140萬美元。 |
● | 淨損失爲1050萬美元,每股虧損0.11美元,主要原因是季度淨銷售額下降,因爲公司的生產受到關鍵採礦設備短缺和缺乏多個採礦面的影響,以及不利天氣條件的影響 挖礦和處理操作. |
● | 本季度考慮聯合產品抵免後,每盎司AuEq的總現金成本爲3560美金,考慮聯合產品抵免後,每盎司AuEq的總全成本爲5072美金。 (請參閱"第2項-管理討論與分析財務狀況和經營業績-非GAAP財務指標",以便將非GAAP指標與適用的GAAP指標進行調和). 第2項-管理層對財務狀況和業績的討論與分析-非GAAP措施 用於將非GAAP措施調整爲適用的GAAP措施,請參閱調解。 |
流動性更新
關於公司在DDGm礦山的採礦活動,2024年噸位和品位下降,並低於預算,尤其是在第三季度。導致這些下降的原因有幾個。由於礦山使用的一些關鍵採礦設備的老化和狀況,公司遇到了設備可用性方面的重大問題。由於設備可用性持續存在挑戰,以及由於先前生產不足導致現金減少,公司未能維持預期的未來生產區域開發時間表。因此,公司目前只能在可進入的區域一次只開採一個方塊。目前其他可用的生產區域的缺乏增加了公司實現生產估計的壓力,因爲當前生產區域遇到的任何問題都無法通過在礦山的其他地方生產來抵消。此外,磨機也出現了一些機械問題和溼礦石處理困難,由於異常高的降雨導致吞吐量減少和生產缺口。爲了減少機械問題並使礦山重回盈利狀態,需要資本來更換部分採礦車隊並升級磨機。
公司認爲,根據三姐妹新區域以及已發現的靠近現有采礦區的其他區域的最新信息,礦山具有巨大的潛力產生正向現金流。爲了開發這些新區域的通道並更好地定義其範圍,必須進行投資。

3
在設備和礦山規劃中。如果沒有將這些區域納入整個礦山計劃,公司認爲礦山短期內將無法產生足夠的自由現金流。
公司無法實現其生產預估數額,嚴重懷疑其作爲持續存在的能力。公司目前預計需要約$700萬用於獲得額外的採礦設備和磨粉升級。這些金額包括在磨粉設備方面約$250萬的升級,包括約$100萬用於安裝新的過濾器以增加過濾廠的產能,約$70萬用於獲得備用球齒輪。這些投資還包括約$450萬用於購置新的或低效設備,包括地下裝載機、螺栓機和鑽機。公司還預計需要約$800萬的運營資本,以便資助開發以進入Three Sisters和Splay 31系統,儘管並非所有資本立即需要。由於上述2024年生產挑戰,公司認爲礦山無法產生足夠的現金流來資助這些改進。公司正在評估各種融資期權,以在短期內資助這一開發。
如果公司無法獲得這些額外資金併成功開發這些新的採礦區域,那麼礦山的持續操作可能無法延續至2024年11月以後。如果無法繼續運營礦山,公司可能被迫將礦山置於「護理和維護」狀態,這可能會導致重大的解僱費用和其他費用,公司可能無法支付。

1. 基本報表的編制基礎
Gold Resource Corporation及其子公司(以下統稱「公司」)的簡明合併中期財務報表(「中期財務報表」)未經審計,並按照證券交易委員會(「SEC」)的規定編制。根據這些規定的允許,某些要求根據美國通用會計準則(「U.S. GAAP」)披露的信息和腳註已被壓縮或省略。然而,公司認爲包含的披露足以使所呈現的信息不會誤導。在管理層的意見中,這些中期財務報表的公平呈現所需的所有調整(包括正常循環調整)和披露已經包含在內。在這些中期財務報表中報告的結果不一定表示可能報告的整個年度的結果。這些中期財務報表應與截至2023年12月31日的年度審計合併財務報表一起閱讀,並納入公司在Form 10-k年度報告中包含的財務報表(「2023年度報告」)。年末資產負債表數據來源於經審計的財務報表。除非另有說明,與2023年度報告中所包含的經審計合併財務報表附註相比,腳註沒有發生實質性變化。
在報告中,2023財年的基本報表中的某些流動負債以及2023年的某些經營現金流已經重新分類,以符合今年的展示。這不會對先前呈現的總流動負債和總經營現金流產生影響。 基本報表 財年2023的基本報表中的某些經營現金流已經重新分類,以符合今年的展示。這並不會對之前呈現的總流動負債和總經營現金流產生影響。 壓縮的綜合中期現金流量表 這對之前呈現的總流動負債和總經營現金流沒有任何影響。
2. 新會計準則
FASB於2023年11月發佈了ASU 2023-07,即《分部報告(主題280):在2023年11月對可報告分部披露的改進》。修訂了可報告分部披露要求,包括年度和中期披露增量分部信息。披露增強內容包括有關通常提供給首席運營決策者並納入每個報告的分部利潤或損失指標中的重要分部費用的新披露,以及將分部營業收入與每個報告的分部利潤或損失指標聯繫起來的其他分部項目。ASU 2023-07的修訂自2023年12月15日之後開始的財政年度生效,並且自2024年12月15日之後開始的財政年度內的中期時段應用,適用於回顧性運用。允許提前採用。公司將於2024年12月31日年度財務報表中回顧性採納根據本修訂所需的分部披露。公司預計本更新對其合併財務報表和披露不會產生任何重大影響。
FASB於2023年12月發佈了ASU 2023-09,即《所得稅(主題740):對2023年12月所得稅披露的改進》。修訂了有關有效稅率調解和所得稅支付的所得稅披露要求。ASU 2023-09的修訂自2024年12月15日之後開始的財政年度生效,並且應用前瞻性。允許提前採用和修訂性運用這些修訂。公司目前正在評估本更新對其合併財務報表和披露的影響。

19.每股普通股的淨虧損
基本每股淨收入或淨虧損是基於期間內流通普通股的加權平均數進行計算的。按照假設期間內流通普通股的期權和其他稀釋性證券的存在來計算,這些期權和其他稀釋性證券的行權價低於公司普通股期間內平均市場價格,據假設將在期間開始之後或授予日期行使,獲得的款項將用於按期間內平均市場價格購買普通股。由於公司該期間的淨虧損,所有公司的RSU都是防稀釋的。由於預計PSU和DSU將以現金結算,因此未包括在稀釋計算中。
公司稀釋證券的影響是使用庫存股法計算的,只有那些導致每股普通股淨利潤減少的工具才包括在計算中。購買期權

20. 公允價值衡量
公允價值會計確立了一個公允價值層次結構,優先考慮用於衡量公允價值的估值技術輸入。該層次結構將最高優先級給予相同資產或負債的活躍市場中未經調整的報價價格(1級別衡量),將最低優先級給予不可觀察的輸入(3級別衡量)。公平價值層次結構的三個級別如下所述:
一級 | 在測量日可以獲得,用於相同無限制資產或負債的活躍市場內未經調整的報價價格; |
二級 | 在市場上報價不活躍或對資產或負債的完整期限具有觀察性的輸入,無論是直接還是間接的;以及 |
三級 | 需要對公允價值進行測量的價格或估值技術需要的輸入既對公允價值測量具有重要意義,又是不可觀察的(幾乎沒有市場活動支持)。 |
根據會計準則的要求,根據對公允價值計量至關重要的最低輸入級別對資產和負債進行分類。這些資產和負債在每個報告期重新計量。以下表格列出了公司截至2024年9月30日和2023年12月31日按照公允價值層次結構水平衡量的某些資產和負債:

現金及現金等價物: Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of cash deposits and are valued at cost, approximating fair value.
應收賬款淨額: 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.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 and compares those results with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. It also analyzes the Company’s financial condition as of September 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 the operating results, and which are used by management to compare the Company’s performance with what it perceives 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 the Company’s 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. DDGM is the Company’s 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 Company’s Board continues to evaluate its options with respect to unlocking the value of the Back Forty development project.

Ground Support Inspection | DDGM faced a number of production challenges in the third quarter. Firstly, the typically arid region experienced several tropical storms that disrupted the material processing schedule due to increased rainfall. The high humidity levels further affected throughput and concentrate quality, resulting in customer payment delays. The operations team implemented process changes to minimize downtime and ensure continuity of operations for future wet weather-related disruptions. Secondly, the reduced availability of some of the critical mining equipment—used both underground and on the surface—impacted operational efficiency in the third quarter. To address this, replacement of old equipment is required, and the maintenance and engineering teams have developed action plans to improve, where possible, the readiness of this equipment. The Company is seeking additional capital for investment in new mining equipment. Lastly, geotechnical rehabilitation in Arista posed further slow-downs. Extensive rehabilitation efforts were undertaken in the third quarter to ensure the safety and accessibility of the production areas that have not been used for over two years. Critical support infrastructure was replaced and aligned with updated safety standards. This activity temporarily delayed access to these areas. Going forward, however, this work has positioned production with access to higher-grade material in the upcoming fourth quarter. The operations team continues to prioritize safety, efficiency, and continuous improvement in mitigating the impacts of these challenges and positioning the operation for stronger outcomes in the coming quarters. |
DDGM Exploration Update
The Company’s portfolio of properties that make up DDGM are located along a 55-kilometer stretch of the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur mountain range. This northwest trending structural corridor spans three historic mining districts in the state of Oaxaca. Strategic planning and prioritization of regional surface exploration activities continues across several properties, aiming to define additional high-value drill targets and demonstrating the Company’s commitment to long-term investment in Oaxaca, Mexico.
Underground infill exploration drilling continued from accessible areas within the Arista mine using a dedicated contract diamond drill rig in the third quarter of 2024. Due to the lack of additional drill stations in the Three Sisters system, as a result of the age and condition of some of the critical mining equipment in use at the mine, as well as decreased cash due to prior production shortfalls, as discussed above, the focus of infill drilling strategically shifted to the northwest extension of the Arista vein system, targeting the Marena North, Santa Cecilia and Splay 31 veins. The goal of this drilling is to upgrade inferred resources to the measured and indicated categories in the Splay 31 vein, while also identifying additional inferred resources in the Santa Cecilia and Marena North veins. All veins within the northwest extension of the Arista vein system remain open along strike to the northwest as well as up- and down-dip. However, infill drilling was suspended on August 1, 2024 to conserve cash while a second diamond drill rig, owned and operated by DDGM, was allocated to grade control drilling which continued as planned during the third quarter. This drilling provided additional information and comfort with respect to the detailed geologic modeling and that the mine plan can deliver ore from each area of the mine with the highest possible net smelter return (“NSR”) to the process plant. Although the Company believes

this mine has significant potential to generate positive cash flow, based on the information to date from the new areas of the Three Sisters as well as other areas that have been discovered near the existing mining zones, the Company does not believe that the mine will generate sufficient free cash flow in the near term without the addition of these areas to the life-of-mine plan.
Despite the equipment unavailability and cash flow shortages described above, the underground exploration drill program continued to advance the Company’s 2024 exploration objectives of identifying and expanding new mineralization, while also defining and upgrading additional Mineral Resources identified during the previous drilling campaign. The third quarter drill results will be incorporated into a resource estimate update, scheduled for release in the first quarter of 2025. Preliminary calculations indicate a positive increase in tonnage and higher grades in the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems. Following the completion of a planned 250 meters of exploration development on Level 3, which began in the third quarter of 2024, infill and 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.
During the third quarter of 2024, six infill drill holes were completed for a total of 1,399 meters and 20 grade control drill holes were completed for a total of 1,395 meters. The positive initial drill results have validated the continued capital investment in exploration drilling to date in 2024 and underscored the area’s potential for future mineral resource expansion.
Exploration drilling in the third quarter of 2024 targeted the following zones at the Arista mine:
o | Infill drilling from Level 3 focused on the Marena North, Santa Cecilia and Splay 31 veins along the northwest extension of the Arista system, aiming to upgrade and expand the Mineral Resources in these areas. Due to their proximity to existing mine infrastructure, these areas offer efficient and shorter-haul access to near-term mine production opportunities. To date, drilling along the northern extension of the Arista vein system has identified mineralization over an additional 300 meters along strike to the northwest from the current mining limits, with structures remaining open along strike to the northwest, as well as up- and down-dip. |
o | Grade control drilling continued to focus on validating near-term production opportunities not previously realized within the mine. This included targeting the Sarabi and Selene veins in the Switchback system from Level 14.5, as well as successfully testing the Splay 31 and Splay 5 veins in the Arista system from Level 1 and Level 19, respectively. Definition of these zones allows mining operations increased flexibility in scheduling ore production for this area. |

Third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023
Production
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, total tonnes milled of 83,690 were 28% lower than in the same period in 2023. Metal production for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc decreased by 79%, 21%, 66%, 45%, and 46%, respectively, during the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the same period last year. Although the lower tonnes processed and lower metal grades for all metals, with the exception of silver, were expected in the 2024 mine plan, the third quarter production was significantly impacted by the lack of availability of critical mining equipment and the lack of multiple faces to mine, in addition to the unfavorable weather conditions impacting the mining and processing operations.
Grades & Recoveries
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, all of the ore processed came from the Arista mine with an average gold grade of 0.54 g/t and silver grade of 83 g/t, compared to an average gold grade of 1.52 g/t and silver grade of 73 g/t, respectively, for the same period in 2023. For the three months ending September 30, 2024, the average gold grade was 64% lower and the average silver grade was 14% higher when compared to the same period in 2023. This reduction in grade is partly due to the additional dilution caused by mining narrower veins, as scheduled in the third quarter. 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. The Company’s base metals average grades during the three months ended September 30, 2024 were 0.19% for copper, 1.01% for lead, and 2.63% for zinc. The copper, lead, and zinc grades were lower by 41%, 22%, and 19%, respectively, as compared to same period in 2023.
Gold and silver recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were 65.1% and 87.4%, respectively, reflecting a 16% decrease for gold and a 3% decrease for silver over the same period in 2023. Copper, lead, and zinc recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024 were 57.4%, 68.2%, and 79.1%, respectively. Recoveries for copper, lead, and zinc in the three months ended September 30, 2024 when compared to the same period in 2023, declined by 23%, 2%, and 7%, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, metal recoveries were further impacted by filtration issues experienced in the processing plant during August and have since been resolved.
Year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023
Production
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, total tonnes milled of 276,266 were 20% lower than in the same period in 2023. Metal production for gold, silver, copper, lead, and zinc decreased by 47%, 17%, 41%, 50%, and 43%, respectively, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period last year. Although lower tonnes processed and lower metal grades for all metals, with the exception of silver, were expected in the 2024 mine plan, production was significantly impacted by the lack of availability of critical mining equipment and the lack of multiple faces to mine, especially in the third quarter, in addition to the unfavorable weather conditions impacting the mining and processing operations.
Grades & Recoveries
During the nine months ended September 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 91 g/t, compared to an average gold grade of 1.82 g/t and silver grade of 85 g/t, respectively, for the same period in 2023. To date in 2024, the average gold grade was 30% lower and the average silver grade 7% higher. 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. The Company’s base metals average grades during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 0.28% for copper, 1.09% for lead, and 2.69% for zinc. The copper, lead, and zinc grades were lower by 20%, 30%, and 25%, respectively, as compared to same period in 2023.
Gold and silver recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 76.7% and 87.7%, respectively, reflecting a 4% decrease for gold and a 4% decrease for silver over the same period in 2023. Copper, lead, and zinc recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were 71.7%, 66.5%, and 81.8%, respectively. Recoveries for copper, lead, and zinc in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, when compared to the same period in 2023, declined by 7%, 10%, and 4%, respectively.

Third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023
Besides the expected lower tonnes mined and changes in metal grades and recoveries for the three months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same period in 2023, the results of which were considered in the 2024 guidance disclosed in the 2023 Annual Report, the key drivers of the production and financial results relate to the issues the Company faced especially in the third quarter of 2024, including the issues with equipment availability due to the age and condition of some of the critical mining equipment, the decreasing cash and working capital, and the unprecedented weather and high humidity affecting our sales and production.
Metal Sold
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, gold sales of 1,357 ounces, silver sales of 181,434 ounces, copper sales of 98 tonnes, lead sales of 467 tonnes, and zinc sales of 1,473 tonnes decreased by 66%, 13%, 60%, 51%, and 43%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2023. The lower metal production was partially expected due to mine sequencing, but challenges with equipment availability, the lack of multiple faces to mine, and the unusually wet hurricane season at the mine site also negatively affected the Company’s metal sales and production.
Average metal prices realized
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the average metal prices were $2,561 per ounce for gold, $30.61 per ounce for silver, $8,832 per tonne for copper, $2,065 per tonne for lead, and $2,854 per tonne for zinc. Compared to the same period in 2023, the average metal price for gold and silver increased by 32% and 30%, respectively. The average metal price for copper and zinc also increased by 8% and 30%, respectively, while the average metal price for lead decreased by 6%.

Third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023
Sales, net
Net sales of $13.3 million for DDGM for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $7.3 million, or 35%, 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 September 30, 2024, decreased by 50% as a result of the decline in third quarter 2024 production as compared to third quarter 2023 production.
Total cost of sales
Total cost of sales of $21.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by 12% from $25.0 million for the same period in 2023. The $3.1 million decrease was primarily related to a $1.8 million decrease in production cost and a $1.6 million decrease in depreciation expense. Production costs of $17.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 are 9% lower than the production costs of $19.0 million for the same period in 2023.
Mine gross (loss) profit
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a mine gross loss of $8.7 million, compared to a mine gross loss of $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Mine gross loss increased by $4.3 million, or 98%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in loss was primarily due to a $7.3 million, or 35% decrease in net sales, partially offset by a $1.8 million, or 9% decrease in production costs and a $1.6 million, or 28% 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 third quarter of 2024, the tonnes of ore processed decreased by 28%, and the total cost of sales decreased by
Gold Resource Corporation—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
38
12% compared to the third quarter of 2023, due to a 22% lower cost per tonne processed; however, net sales decreased by 35%.
The Company expects grades to vary from period to period based upon the potential for unplanned changes to the annual mine plan. Such unplanned changes, related to equipment availability and access limitations, were encountered by the Company in the third quarter of 2024. Based on the current mineral reserve estimate, 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). 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 and updated mineral reserve estimates.
Net loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $10.5 million, compared to a net loss of $7.3 million during the same period in 2023. The $3.2 million increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the 35% decrease in net sales.
Year-to-date 2024 compared to year-to-date 2023
Sales, net
Net sales of $52.8 million for DDGM for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by $23.8 million, or 31%, 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, as outlined in the sales statistics table above. Additionally, treatment and refining charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, decreased by 53% as a result of the decline in the 2024 production as compared to the 2023 production.
Total cost of sales
Total cost of sales of $67.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased by 15% from $79.2 million for the same period in 2023. The $12.1 million decrease was primarily related to a $8.0 million decrease in production cost and a $5.3 million decrease in depreciation expense. Production costs of $51.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are 14% lower than the production costs of $59.1 million for the same period in 2023.
Mine gross (loss) profit
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company had a mine gross loss of $14.4 million, compared to a mine gross loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. Mine gross loss increased by $11.7 million, or 433%, compared to the same period in 2023. The increase in loss was primarily due to a $23.8 million, or 31% decrease in net sales, partially offset by a $8.0 million, or 14% decrease in production costs and a $5.3 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, the tonnes of ore processed decreased by 20%, and the total cost of sales decreased by 15%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023; however, net sales decreased by 31%.
The Company expects 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 the Company’s 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a net loss of $42.3 million, compared to a net loss of $13.0 million during the same period in 2023. The $29.3 million increase in net loss is mainly attributable to the 31% decrease in net sales and the increased income tax expense due to the valuation allowance recorded during 2024 on the DDGM deferred tax assets.

Third quarter 2024 compared to third quarter 2023
General and administrative expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, general and administrative expenses were $1.3 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The 28% decrease in cost is due to the cost saving measures the Company implemented for 2024.
Mexico Exploration expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, exploration expenses in DDGM totaled $0.8 million, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2023. Exploration activities in Oaxaca, Mexico, decreased compared to the same period in 2023 primarily due to the reduction in expansion drilling and underground exploration development.
Michigan Back Forty Project expenses: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, costs for the Back Forty Project were $0.2 million, compared to $0.4 million for the same period in 2023.

Stock-based compensation: Stock-based compensation increased by $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly due the decrease in share price in the third quarter of 2023, causing a credit to expense for the cash-settled liability instruments (DSUs and PSUs) in the third quarter of 2023.
Other expense, net: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company incurred $3.0 million of other expenses, an increase of $1.0 million from the same period in 2023. This increase is largely driven by a $0.6 million interest increase on the streaming liabilities and a $0.6 million increase in unrealized currency exchange loss. Please see Note 18 - Other expense, net in Item 1—Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements and Notes (unaudited) for additional details.
Income tax (benefit) provision: For the three months ended September 30, 2024, income tax benefit was $3.6 million, compared to a $2.7 million income tax benefit for the same period in 2023. The increase in income tax benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2024 is due to the higher loss before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Underground and Exploration Development:
Mine development during the third quarter of 2024 included ramps, access to different areas of the deposit, and ventilation shafts. A total of 19 meters of exploration development was completed on Level 3 during the third quarter of 2024 at a cost of $0.07 million in preparation for future drilling along strike to the northwest on the Three Sisters and Gloria vein systems. Drilling during the third quarter primarily utilized existing infrastructure developed in previous years. As part of ongoing safety initiatives, the Company also invested in additional ground support and improved ventilation for the mine. However, due to the continued reduction in equipment availability and the resulting decrease in production and cash, the Company has not been able to maintain its projected timeline for development of future production zones.

Non-GAAP Measures
Throughout this report, the Company has provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced certain non-GAAP performance measures that the Company believes will assist with understanding the performance of its 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, the Company reports the sale of base metals as part of its revenue. Revenue generated from the sale of base metals in the Company’s concentrates is considered a co-product of its gold and silver production for the purpose of calculating its total cash cost after co-product credits for DDGM. The Company periodically reviews its revenues to ensure that its reporting of primary products and co-products is appropriate. Because the Company considers copper, lead, and zinc to be co-products of its precious metal production, the value of these metals continues to be applied as a reduction to total cash costs in its calculation of total cash cost after co-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce sold. Likewise, the Company believes 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 it intends 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. The Company 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 September 30, 2024, working capital was $6.1 million, consisting of current assets of $22.0 million and current liabilities of $15.9 million. This represents a $9.1 million, or 60%, decrease from the working capital balance of $15.2 million as of December 31, 2023. The factors influencing the decrease in the Company’s working capital were the cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million and the $2.0 million cash outflows from operating activities, partially offset by $2.4 million cash inflows from financing activities due to sales through the ATM agreement, as reported in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Cash Flows. The Company’s working capital balance fluctuates as it uses cash to fund its operations, financing, and investing activities, including exploration, mine development, and income taxes.
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’s 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 September 30, 2024 decreased to $1.4 million from $6.3 million as of December 31, 2023, a net decrease in cash of $4.9 million. The decrease is primarily due to $5.2 million cash used in investing activities and the $2.0 million cash used in operating activities, partially offset by the $2.4 million cash inflow from financing activities due to the ATM sales.
Of the $1.4 million cash balance as of September 30, 2024, $0.5 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. DDGM’s primary source of liquidity is the sale of concentrates. DDGM has historically been self-sustaining and has been a source of cash for U.S. operations and projects. However, as a result of recent challenges encountered in mining and processing at DDGM, the Company is not currently generating positive cash flow from the Company’s mining operations.
Net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was $2.0 million, an 71% decrease compared to the $7.0 million net cash used in operating activities for the same period in 2023. While net sales decreased by 31% due to lower grades and lower recoveries for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, production costs only decreased by 14% due to the higher inflation.
Net cash used in investing activities of $5.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 decreased from $9.8 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 was $2.4 million related to the ATM sales. Please see Note 14—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.
Tonnes and grade, with respect to the Company’s mining operations at DDGM, have declined during 2024 and are below budget, especially in the third quarter. There are several factors that caused these declines. The Company has encountered significant issues with equipment availability due to the age and condition of some of the critical mining equipment in use at the mine. Due to the continued challenges with equipment availability and the decreased cash due to prior production shortfalls, the Company has not been able to maintain its projected timeline for development of future production zones. As a result, the Company is currently mining only one face at a time in areas that are accessible. The current lack of other available production zones has placed additional pressure on the Company’s ability to achieve its production estimates, as any problems encountered at the current production zone cannot be offset by producing elsewhere in the mine. In addition, the mill also experienced some mechanical issues and wet ore handling difficulties due to unusually high rain fall that resulted in lower throughput and a production shortfall. To minimize the mechanical issues and return the mine to a cash positive position, capital is necessary to replace some of the mining fleet and upgrade the mill.
The Company believes that the mine has significant potential to generate positive cash flow based on the information to date from the new areas of the Three Sisters as well as other areas that have been discovered near the existing mining zones. In order to develop access and better define these new areas, an investment must be made in the equipment and mine plan. Without the addition of these areas to the life-of-mine plan, the Company does not believe that the mine will generate sufficient free cash flow in the near term.
The Company’s inability to achieve its production estimates have created substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The Company currently anticipates that it will require approximately $7 million to obtain additional mining equipment and mill upgrades. These amounts include approximately $2.5 million in upgrades at the mill, including approximately $1.0 million to install a new filter to increase capacity in the filter plant and approximately $0.7
Gold Resource Corporation—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
49
million to obtain a spare ball gear. These investments also include approximately $4.5 million in mining equipment to replace old or inefficient equipment, including underground loaders, bolters, and drills. The Company also expects to require approximately $8 million in working capital in order to fund the initial development to access the Three Sisters and Splay 31 systems, although not all of this capital will be required immediately. Due to the 2024 production challenges described above, the Company does not believe that the mine will generate sufficient cashflow to fund these improvements. The Company is evaluating various financing options in order to fund this development in the near term.
If the Company is unable to obtain this additional capital and successfully develop these new mining areas, the continued operation of the mine may not be possible beyond November 2024. If continued operation of the mine is not possible, the Company may be compelled to place the mine on “care and maintenance” status, which would likely trigger significant severance and other costs which the Company may not be able to pay.

項目3:市場風險的定量和定性披露
公司面臨的市場風險包括但不限於以下風險:商品價格變動、外匯匯率變動、臨時銷售合同風險、利率變動和股價波動。目前,公司不會將衍生金融工具作爲管理市場風險的整體策略的一部分。但是,隨着公司評估其業務和財務策略,公司可能會在未來考慮這樣的安排。
金融工具的效應對財務狀況和業績的影響 請參考說明10,公允價值計量,了解2024年6月30日和2023年12月31日時金融工具的資產負債表位置和公允價值。
公司的運營結果、現金流量和財務狀況在很大程度上取決於黃金、白銀、銅、鉛和鋅的市場價格。金屬價格波動幅度大,受到許多公司無法控制的因素的影響。利率水平、通貨膨脹率、政府財政和貨幣政策、匯率穩定性以及全球黃金、白銀和其他金屬的供求情況等因素的變化,都可能導致商品價格出現顯著波動。這種外部經濟因素反過來受國際投資模式、貨幣體系和政治發展變化的影響。金屬價格市場近年來波動幅度較大,未來價格下跌可能導致礦產項目變得不經濟,從而對公司的業務和財務狀況產生重大不利影響。目前,公司未利用衍生合約保護黃金、白銀、銅、鉛和鋅的銷售價格。公司可能在未來通過額外的衍生合約更積極地管理其風險,儘管公司暫無此意向。
除了對公司的儲量估計、運營結果和/或其財務狀況產生重大不利影響外,黃金和白銀價格下跌可能要求重新評估項目的可行性。即使最終確定項目在經濟上是可行的,進行這種重新評估可能會導致項目實施出現延遲。
外匯風險
該公司的海外經營以美元金屬價格銷售其黃金、白銀、銅、鉛和鋅生產。外幣匯率的波動對公司的營業收入沒有實質影響,因爲黃金、白銀、銅、鉛和鋅在全球以美元銷售。
外幣匯率波動可能會增加或減少公司的成本,程度在於它支付的成本是否是以美元以外的貨幣支付。公司主要受到墨西哥披索對美元匯率變動的影響,因爲公司在墨西哥披索支付了一些成本。當披索相對於美元升值時,公司在墨西哥的一些成本可能會增加,從而帶來對公司經營業績的實質不利影響。另一方面,當披索相對於美元貶值時,在美元來看,墨西哥以披索計價的成本將減少。未來的波動可能會導致外匯風險,從而影響公司的財務業績。大約50%至60%的支出用於支付美元以外的貨幣。
公司尚未利用市場風險敏感工具來管理其在外匯匯率方面的暴露。然而,公司可能會在未來積極管理其外匯匯率風險暴露。

臨時銷售合同風險
公司簽訂的濃縮物銷售合同通常根據臨時化驗和價格向公司進行臨時付款。臨時定價的銷售合同包含一個要分離出來的衍生工具,用於會計目的。主合同是根據交付給客戶時的金屬報價確定的濃縮物銷售應收款項。衍生工具不能符合套期保值會計,每個結算前將其根據市場調整到營業收入中。在交付和最終結算日期之間金屬價格的變化將導致之前在交付時記錄的濃縮物銷售相關營業收入的調整。請參見 附註15—衍生工具 在 項目1—未經審計的簡明合併中期財務報表和附註 上述有關其他信息。
利率風險
公司目前認爲自身的利率風險敞口微不足道,因爲公司的利率與對辦公室租賃的微不足道支付相關聯。
根據《證券交易法》第13a-15條修正案的規定,在我們的管理監督和參與下,包括我們的首席執行官(「CEO」)和首席財務官(「CFO」),我們評估了截至2024年6月30日我們的披露控制和措施(如《證券交易法》第13a-15(e)條和15d-15(e)條所定義的)的設計和運轉的有效性,歸納整理、彙總和報告我們在交易所提交的或文件報告中要求披露的信息,以在指定的時間段內累積並與我們的管理層,包括CEO和CFO,適當通信,以便及時做出有關所需披露的決定。
公司在過去曾經,並可能在未來通過賣出普通股和其他權益來尋求額外融資。公司的普通股價格過去曾經波動,未來也可能波動。因此,存在公司可能無法以可接受價格賣出其普通股的風險,如果需要新的股權融資。
控制和程序項目4:控制和程序
披露控件和程序的評估
在本報告涵蓋的財政期間內,公司管理層在首席執行官和首席財務官的參與下,評估了公司的披露控制和程序的設計和控制的有效性(如美國證券交易法規定的規則13a-15(e)和15d-15(e)中所定義)。根據這樣的評估,公司的首席執行官和首席財務官得出結論,截至本報告涵蓋期間結束時,公司的披露控制和程序在確保公司在《交易法案》要求的報告中需要披露的信息在規定的時間內錄入、處理、彙總和報告,並設計以確保公司的報告中需要披露的信息被累積並傳達給公司管理層,包括其首席執行官和首席財務官適當時,以使及時決策以滿足必要的披露要求方面是有效的。
關於財務報告內控的變化
在截至2024年9月30日的三個月內,沒有發生會對公司的財務報告內部控制產生重大影響,或者有可能對其產生重大影響的變化。

ITEm 1A:風險因素
項目1A.風險因素 2023年年度報告的風險因素討論了公司已知的實質性風險因素,除了可能適用於任何發行人或發行的風險。除下文所述外,公司的風險因素未發生實質變化自2023年年度報告描述的風險。
對於公司是否能夠持續作爲持續經營開多存在重大疑慮。
截至2024年9月30日,公司的總現金及現金等價物約爲$140萬。由於在DDGm礦山開採和加工中遇到的挑戰,公司目前並未從採礦業務中產生正現金流。公司的財務狀況和最近的營業成果,以及未能達到生產預期的能力,對其作爲持續經營實體的能力提出了重大質疑。未能籌集某種長期債務安排或額外股本資金將導致公司進一步增加其營運資金的下降,並可能被迫將礦山轉爲「保養和維護」狀態,並停止運營,直到有足夠的資金。此外,即使公司籌集到足夠的資金支持其營業費用併產生營業收入,也不能保證這些收入足以使其達到盈利和正現金流的水平。
公司的合併財務報表假設公司將繼續作爲持續經營實體編制。財務報表不包括可能在公司無法繼續作爲持續經營實體時必要的任何調整。這些調整可能是實質性的。
