GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

September 30, 2020
(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, 2019 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.

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a current expected credit loss method. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experiences, current conditions and a forecast that is supportable. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

4. Gold and Silver Rounds/Bullion

The Company periodically purchases gold and silver bullion on the open market for investment purposes and to use in its dividend exchange program under which shareholders may exchange their cash dividends for minted gold and silver rounds. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company sold 32 ounces of gold and 3,000 ounces of silver for proceeds of $0.1 million. No sales of gold and silver occurred in 2019.

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s holdings of rounds/bullion, using quoted market prices, consisted of the following:

	2020					2019
	Ounces	Per Ounce		Amount		Ounces	Per Ounce		Amount
				(in thousands)					(in thousands)

5. Inventories, net

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, inventories, net consisted of the following:

	2020		2019
	(in thousands)
Stockpiles - underground mine	$	414	$	3,968

Materials and supplies (2)		6,939		7,306
Total	$	26,977	$	24,131

(1) Net of reserve of $368 and $478 at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

(2) Net of reserve for obsolescence of $1,264 as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

In addition to the current inventory above, as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has $5.2 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of low-grade ore stockpile inventory included in other non-current assets on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 the Company recorded nil and $3.6 million in net realizable value (“NRV”) inventory adjustments, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded an NRV inventory adjustment of $1.6 million.

6. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense and income tax benefit of $2.0 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes was calculated by 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%, while a 5% net proceeds of minerals tax applies to the Company’s operations in Nevada, 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), which results in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory Federal rates.

Enacted in response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provides roughly $2 trillion in economic relief to eligible businesses and individuals impacted by the novel coronavirus outbreak. The CARES Act is significant legislation that will affect nearly every aspect of the economy. The CARES Act affected corporate taxpayers, including corporations seeking sources of liquidity through net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback claims and income tax refunds. The Company has not applied for aid or relief funds under the CARES Act and in most cases will not qualify for such aid as our operations in the U.S. have continued uninterrupted and our operation in Mexico is considered to be foreign business, thus not qualifying for benefits under the Act. However, as a result of changes under the CARES Act, corporate taxpayers with eligible NOLs may now carryback those losses to prior years to receive a refund of up to five years of prior taxes paid. As the CARES Act did not modify IRC Section 172(b)(3), a taxpayer, where advantageous, can still waive the carryback and elect to carry NOLs forward to subsequent tax years. Further, for years 2018 through 2020, the CARES Act removed the 80% NOL utilization limitation on corporate taxpayers, thus the Company may use NOLs to fully offset taxable income in those years. The CARES Act has no immediate impact on the Company’s income taxes, however removal of the NOL utilization limitation will expedite its future realization of US losses generated post Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

8

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 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 2020. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2020 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 and determined that due to this high tax exception, that GILTI tax was not incurred in 2019. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a reversal of the prior year GILTI tax expense that resulted in $0.9 million tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

7. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, prepaid expenses and other current assets consisted of the following:

The Company’s reclamation liabilities are related to the Aguila project in Mexico.

As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had a $5.2 million and $6.7 million off-balance sheet arrangement, respectively, consisting of a $9.2 million surety bond off-set by a $4.0 million and $2.5 million asset retirement obligation at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, for future reclamation obligations for Isabella Pearl. As of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s asset retirement obligation related to the Aguila project in Mexico was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The Company’s asset retirement obligations were discounted using a credit adjusted risk-free rate of 8%.

11. Loans Payable

The Company has financed certain equipment purchases on a long-term basis. The loans bear annual interest at rates ranging from 3% to 4.48%, are collateralized by the equipment, and require monthly principal and interest payments of $0.08 million. As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there was an outstanding balance of $1.0 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Scheduled remaining minimum repayments are $0.2 million in 2020, $0.7 million in 2021, and $0.1 million in 2022. One of the loan agreements is subject to a prepayment penalty of 1% of the outstanding loan balance at time of repayment. The fair value of the loans payable, based on Level 2 inputs, approximated the outstanding balance at both September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. See Note 19 for the definition of a Level 2 input.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company has a Contract Mining Agreement with a mining contractor relating to mining activities at its Isabella Pearl project in Nevada. Included in this Agreement is an embedded lease for the mining equipment for which the Company has recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding operating lease liability. Please see Note 13 for more information. In addition to the embedded lease payments, the Company pays the contract miner operational costs in the normal course of business. These costs represent the remaining future contractual payments for the Contract Mining Agreement over its term. The contractual payments are determined by rates within the Contract Mining Agreement, estimated tonnes moved and bank cubic yards for drilling and blasting. As of September 30, 2020, total estimated contractual payments remaining, excluding embedded lease payments, are $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company has equipment purchase commitments aggregating approximately $0.7 million.

13. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company leases office equipment and administrative offices from third parties as well as an administrative office from a related party. In addition, the Company has an embedded lease in its Contract Mining Agreement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company accounts for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to two years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases as of September 30, 2020 is 0.27 years.

The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases is determined based on the lease term adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company’s operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2020 was 4.48%.

There are no material residual value guarantees and no restrictions or covenants imposed by the Company’s leases.

Most of the Company’s leases have a standard payment schedule; however, the payments for its mining equipment embedded lease are determined by tonnage hauled. This embedded lease is contained in the Contract Mining Agreement entered into for the mining activities at the Company’s Isabella Pearl project. The payments, amortization of the right-of-use asset, and interest vary immaterially from forecasted amounts due to variable conditions at the mine. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $1.8 million to Inventory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $4.6 million to Inventory and $1.5 million to Property, plant, and mine development. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $0.3 million to Inventory and $1.4 million to Property, plant, and mine development.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $1.8 million to Inventory and $3.2 million to Property, plant, and mine development. On October 28, 2020, the Company extended the Contract Mining Agreement for a one-year term for its mining activities at the Isabella Pearl project.

14. 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 metal forward prices. Please see Note 19 for additional information.

15. 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 any prior plan that is terminated, expired, forfeited, or canceled for any reason, will be available for grant under the Incentive Plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, a total of 93,205 and 121,060 RSUs vested, respectively, and shares were issued with an intrinsic value of $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and fair value of $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, a total of 58,133 and 106,256 RSUs vested, respectively, and shares were issued with an intrinsic value of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and fair value of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

No stock options were exercised during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, stock options to purchase an aggregate of 274,750 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at a weighted average exercise price of $3.95 per share. Of that amount, 250,000 of the options were exercised on a net exercise basis, resulting in 44,698 shares being delivered. The remaining 24,750 options were exercised for cash. No stock options were exercised during the three months ended September 30, 2019.

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

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 September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, nil has been accrued related to the STIP.

16. 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

14

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 6,039,823 shares and 6,625,588 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold through the ATM Agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and other expenses, of $18.7 million and $24.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, an aggregate of 1,705,323 shares and 773,716 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold through the ATM Agreement for net proceeds to the Company, after deducting the Agent’s commissions and other expenses, of $6.8 million and $2.6 million, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company issued 26,110 shares of its common stock at a price of $3.83 per share in connection with its purchase of the Golden Mile project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company issued 25,000 shares of its common stock at a value of $3.88 per share as payment for a one-year investor relations agreement with a third-party.

(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 19.

18. Net Income per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is 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 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 3.6 million and 3.9 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $8.97 and $9.73 were outstanding at September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, but were not included in the computation of diluted

15

weighted average common shares outstanding, as the exercise price of the options exceeded the average price of the Company’s common stock during those periods, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

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

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,
	2020		2019		2020		2019
Net income (in thousands)	$	5,001	$	2,978	$	68	$	5,658
Basic weighted average shares of common stock outstanding		70,641,938		65,495,958		68,896,059		63,001,178
Dilutive effect of share-based awards		402,590		300,941		393,290		334,953
Diluted weighted average common shares outstanding		71,044,528		65,796,899		69,289,349		63,336,131
Net income per share:
Basic and Diluted	$	0.07	$	0.05	$	-	$	0.09

19. 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 and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	2020		2019		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	31,313	$	11,076	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion	$	5,241	$	4,265	Level 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	4,777	$	8,362	Level 2
Loans payable	$	1,005	$	1,661	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 4 for additional information.

Accounts receivable, net include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million. 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

16

adjustment related to these invoices is included in accounts receivable as of each reporting date. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrealized losses of $0.1 million and unrealized gains of $0.2 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments. Please see Note 14 for additional information.

Loans payable consist of obligations for equipment purchases financed on a long-term basis. Loans payable are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. See Note 11 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 September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

22. COVID-19

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.

The Isabella Pearl Mine in Nevada has continued to operate at full capacity during the pandemic. Precious metal mining is considered essential to support critical infrastructure under guidelines from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the State of Nevada. The Company has in place safety measures 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 financing will be sufficient for the foreseeable future, although there is no assurance that will be the case.

23. Subsequent Event

On October 5, 2020, the Company announced its intention to spin-off its Nevada Mining Unit to shareholders as a separate publicly traded company. The separation will be completed by way of a pro rata distribution of all the outstanding shares of Fortitude Gold Corporation (“Fortitude”) common stock to the Company’s shareholders. Fortitude is a Colorado corporation formed by the Company to complete the spin-off. Following completion of the spin-off, the Company would hold all of the assets and related liabilities of the Oaxaca Mining Unit and Fortitude would hold all of the Nevada assets and related liabilities. The spin-off does not require the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which is expected to be tax-free to the shareholders.

The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the receipt of an effective date for the Form S-1 registration statement filed by Fortitude on October 19, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction is targeted to be completed by year-end 2020 or in the first quarter of 2021.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and compares those results to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019. It also analyzes our financial condition at September 30, 2020 and compares it to our financial condition at December 31, 2019. 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, 2019 contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The discussion also presents certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“non-GAAP”) but which are important to management in its evaluation of our operating results and 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 below 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 have both low operating costs and high returns on capital. We are presently focused on mineral production and exploration at our mining units in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, U.S.A. Our Oaxaca Mining Unit produces doré and concentrates primarily from the Arista underground mine, which contain precious metals of gold and silver and base metals of copper, lead and zinc. Our Nevada Mining Unit produces gold and silver doré from the Isabella Pearl open pit mine.

Precious metal gold equivalent, used periodically throughout this discussion, 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 price ratio for the period. The gold and silver average prices used to determine the gold to silver average price ratio are the actual metal prices realized from sales of our gold and silver.

Spin-Off

On October 5, 2020, we announced our intention to spin-off our Nevada Mining Unit to shareholders as a separate publicly traded company. The separation will be completed by way of a pro rata distribution of all the outstanding shares of our newly created subsidiary, Fortitude Gold Corporation (“Fortitude”), to our shareholders. The spin-off does not require the approval of our shareholders, which is expected to be tax-free to the shareholders.

We believe that the separation of our Oaxaca Mining Unit and the Nevada Mining Units into two independent companies will provide the following benefits:

● Permit each company to focus on its own unique strategic business plan;

● Allow each company flexibility to allocate resources and deploy capital in a manner consistent with its own business strategy;

● Unlock a value premium for the Nevada Mining Unit due to its location in one of the world’s premier mining jurisdictions;

● Allow each company to focus on streamlining each distinct operation – underground, hard rock operations in Mexico, and open-pit heap leach operations in Nevada; and

● Provide investors with an opportunity to reap greater value through ownership of two separate companies rather than a single combined company.

Upon the transaction completion, we expect that our common stock will continue to trade on the NYSE American. The shares of Fortitude are expected to trade over the counter and be quoted in the OTC Market. The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including and final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the receipt of an

22

effective date for the Form S-1 registration statement filed by Fortitude on October 19, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction is targeted to be completed by year-end 2020 or in the first quarter of 2021.

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.

Currently the mining industry is listed as an essential business in the State of Nevada and we continue to operate our mining unit while utilizing appropriate safety measures. 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.

In an effort 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.

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 2020. However, we believe we have sufficient liquidity available from operating cash flow and cash on hand going forward.

Oaxaca Mining Unit Production and Sales

Oaxaca Mining Unit Production

Gold and silver production for the third quarter of 2020 totaled 4,728 ounces and 324,592 ounces, respectively, compared to 7,462 and 473,810 ounces over the same period in 2019. The decrease in gold and silver production was the result of lower precious metal grades as expected based on the mine plan. In addition, while our workforce has been fully reengaged after the second quarter mandatory COVID-19 shutdown, the protocols and safety measures put in place has resulted in lost workdays of our workforce, decreasing throughput, which contributed to lower production in the third quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we produced 13,619 and 912,464 gold and silver ounces, respectively, as compared to 21,881 and 1,304,975 gold and silver ounces, respectively, over the same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily due to the suspension of operations for COVID-19 in the second quarter of 2020 and reduced productions in the third quarter, discussed above.

(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.

Oaxaca Mining Unit Sales

Oaxaca Mining Unit net sales of $26.4 million for the third quarter of 2020 decreased by $7.7 million, or 23%, when compared to the same period in 2019. The decrease was primarily a result of the decreased sales volumes due to decreased production explained above and higher concentrate treatment charges which were slightly offset by increased average realized prices for gold, silver, copper, and zinc. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, metal prices increased from the same period in 2019 as follows: gold by 27% to $1,887 per ounce, silver by 49% to $25.47 per ounce, copper by 19% to $6,711 per tonne, and zinc by 6% to $2,392 per tonne.

Metal sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were $61.1 million as compared to $88.5 million for the same period of 2019, representing a $27.4 million decrease. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower sales volumes due to the suspension of operations for COVID-19 in the second quarter and higher concentrate treatment charges, partially offset by higher gold and silver average realized prices.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we sold 3,619 gold ounces and 316,993 silver ounces at a total cash cost after by-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce of $589, as compared to a cash cost

24

after by-products of $299 in the same period in 2019. The increased cost per ounce was a result of lower by-product credits from the sale of base metals and lower gold grades processed in the current period as compared to the same period in 2019. Please see Non-GAAP Measures below for additional information concerning the cash cost per ounce measures.

Nevada Mining Unit Production and Sales

Nevada Mining Unit Production

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, our Isabella Pearl Mine produced a record 7,847 gold ounces and 9,169 silver ounces as compared to 3,703 and 3,487 of gold and silver ounces, respectively, for the same period of 2019. Increased gold and silver production was expected due to the mining of higher grade ore in 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, our Isabella Pearl Mine produced 16,747 gold ounces and 20,154 silver ounces as compared to 5,381 and 4,459 gold and silver ounces, respectively, for the same period of 2019. The increase in 2020 is largely due to realizing a full nine months of production in 2020 as the mine commenced production in May 2019 as well as higher grade ore mined in Q3 2020 as discussed above.

We continued accessing the upper portion of the higher-grade Pearl deposit in the third quarter 2020. Gold grades and production are expected to continue to increase for the remainder of 2020.

The following Production Statistics table summarizes certain information about our Isabella Pearl operations for the periods indicated:

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 doré produced and sold.

Nevada Mining Unit Sales

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we sold 8,396 and 9,616 gold and silver ounces, respectively, for net sales of $15.9 million as compared to 4,044 and 3,534 gold and silver ounces, respectively, for net sales of $6.0 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in gold and silver sales is due to the planned production ramp up as we were mining the upper portion of the higher-grade Pearl deposit in the third quarter of 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we sold 17,205 and 21,046 gold and silver ounces, respectively, for net sales of $30.3 million as compared to 5,175 and 4,146 gold and silver ounces, respectively, for net sales of $7.5 million for the same period in 2019. The increase in 2020 is largely due to realizing a full nine months of production in 2020 as the mine commenced production in May 2019 as well as higher grade ore mined in Q3 2020 as discussed above.

Sales, net.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, consolidated sales were $42.3 million as compared to $40.1 million for the same period in 2019. The increase is mainly attributable to Nevada Mining Unit metal sales volumes increasing as a result of the Isabella Pearl Mine’s increased production. In addition, average realized prices in the third quarter of 2020 for gold, silver, copper, and zinc increased from the same period in 2019. Offsetting these increases were increase treatment and refining costs for concentrates and decreased metal sales from the Oaxaca Mining unit as a result of decreased production as discussed above. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, consolidated sales volumes totaled 12,015 ounces and 326,609 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, as compared to 10,219 ounces and 414,622 ounces of gold and silver, respectively, for the same period in 2019.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, consolidated sales were $91.4 million as compared to $96.0 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease is mainly attributable to Oaxaca Mining Unit metal sales volumes decreasing during 2020 as a result of a temporary mandatory country-wide suspension of mining operations due to COVID-19 in the second quarter and decreased average realized prices from our base metals in the first two quarters in 2020. Slightly offsetting these decreases was an increase in average realized price for gold and silver and increased gold and silver sales volumes from our Nevada Mining Unit due to a full nine months’ sales activity in 2020.

Please see the Oaxaca and Nevada Mining Units’ sales discussion above for more information.

Mine gross profit. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, mine gross profit increased by $1.6 million or 17%, compared to the same period in 2019. The increase was primarily due to increased average realized prices for gold, silver, copper, and zinc. These increases were partially offset with higher base metal treatment and refining costs. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020, mine gross profit decreased by $12.2 million or 58% due to higher base metal treatment costs and the impact of the second quarter suspension of operations due to COVID-19. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net realizable value inventory adjustments of $3.6 million for Isabella Pearl that reduced consolidated mine gross profit. This adjustment was primarily due to low grade ore that was placed on the leach pad during the first and second quarters.

General and administrative expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, general and administrative expenses totaled $2.7 million and $7.1 million as compared to $2.2 million and $6.9 million for the same periods in 2019. The increase for the third quarter expense was due to increased legal and accounting fees related to strategic initiatives, including the recently announced planned spin-off of our Nevada Mining Unit.

Exploration expenses. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, exploration expenses totaled $1.8 million and $3.5 million as compared to $1.1 million and $3.2 million for the same periods in 2019. The increased exploration expense for the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily the result of increased drilling at East Camp Douglas and other costs associated with Golden Mile property in Nevada.

27

Other (income) expense, net. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded other income of $0.5 million and $0.9 million as compared to other expense of $0.6 million and $0.5 million for the same periods in 2019. The increase in the 2020 period was partially attributable to the increased unrealized gains on our gold and silver bullion/rounds as a result of increasing gold and silver prices from December 31, 2019. Also in 2019, we recognized an expense related to our inventory reserve, while no such expense occurred in 2020. Please see Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Provision (benefit) for income taxes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 we recorded income tax expense and income tax benefit of $2.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as compared to income tax expense of $2.4 and $4.9 million for the same periods in 2019. The change in 2020 is due to the income (loss) before income taxes. Please see Note 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Net income. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded net income of $5.0 million and $0.1 million, respectively, as compared to net income of $3.0 million and $5.7 million for the corresponding periods in 2019. The change in net income is due to the changes in our consolidated results of operations as discussed above.

Non-GAAP Measures

Throughout this report, we have provided information prepared or calculated according to U.S. GAAP and have referenced some 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 by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-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 by-product of our gold and silver production for the purpose of calculating our total cash cost after by-product credits for our Oaxaca Mining Unit. We periodically review our revenues to ensure that our reporting of primary products and by-products is appropriate. Because we consider copper, lead and zinc to be by-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 by-product credits per precious metal gold equivalent ounce sold. Likewise, we believe the identification of copper, lead and zinc as by-product credits is appropriate because of their lower per unit economic value compared to gold and silver and due to the fact that gold and silver are the primary products we intend to produce. For our Nevada Mining Unit, silver sales are treated as a by-product.

Total cash cost, after by-product credits, is a measure developed by the Gold Institute in an effort 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 by-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 by-product credits includes total cash cost before by-product credits less by-product credits, or revenues earned from base metals.

AISC includes total cash cost after by-product credits plus other costs related to sustaining production, including allocated sustaining general and administrative expenses and sustaining capital expenditures. We determined sustaining

28

capital expenditures as those capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain current production and execute the current mine plan.

Cash cost before by-product credits per ounce, total cash cost after by-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 had a $31.3 million cash balance at September 30, 2020, an increase of $20.2 million from the December 31, 2019 balance of $11.1 million. The Oaxaca Mining Unit’s primary source of liquidity is sales of concentrates and doré. The Oaxaca Mining Unit has been self-sustaining since production commencement in 2010 and has provided excess cash for U.S. operations and projects. The Nevada Mining Unit’s primary sources of liquidity during the development, construction and ramp up stages has been through cash contributions from its parent company, Gold Resource Corporation. As production and sales from the Isabella Peal Mine continue to increase, so has the Nevada Mining Unit’s cash position.

As of September 30, 2020, we had working capital of $50.0 million, consisting of current assets of $70.5 million and current liabilities of $20.5 million. This represents an increase of 120% or $27.3 million from the working capital

31

balance of $22.7 million at December 31, 2019. The primary factors influencing the increase in our working capital was cash provided by operating activities of $17.7 million and the 2020 year-to-date net proceeds of $18.7 million from the sale of our common stock under the ATM agreement, offset by $12.8 million of cash used in investing activities. Our September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 working capital was negatively affected by the current operating lease liability of $1.4 million and $7.3 million, respectively, as a result of the adoption of the new leasing standard in 2019. Please see Note 13 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

We expect our working capital to be impacted when the spin-off of our Nevada Mining Unit is completed. We plan to contribute $10 million in additional capital to Fortitude to provide sufficient operating capital upon successful completion of the spin-off, which will reduce our consolidated cash balances of $31.3 million as of September 30, 2020.

While the suspension of Mexico operations due to COVID-19 was temporary, the impact on our business operations reduced our sales and negatively affected operations. We are not eligible for any relief under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act passed by the U.S Government on March 26, 2020 as only our foreign operations have been affected by COVID-19 and our Nevada mining operations are still operating as normal. We have taken additional safety precautions in Nevada to help alleviate the risk of contraction and spread of COVID-19 at our Isabella Pearl mine.

COVID-19 has had an adverse impact on our exploration plans, results of operations, financial position and cash flows during the current fiscal year. However, we believe our liquidity and capital resources are adequate to fund our operations and corporate activities for the foreseeable future.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $20.2 million to $31.3 million during the first nine months of 2020.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $17.7 million compared to $7.8 million for the same period in 2019. The change is primarily due to timing of receivables benefiting 2020 and in 2019 we were ramping up inventories related to Isabella Pearl. These increases were offset by a reduction in net income in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Net cash used in investing activities of $12.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 decreased $16.4 million from the same period in 2019 as a result of less Isabella Pearl mine development and less capital expenditures in Mexico as several projects were completed in 2019.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was $15.6 million compared to $22.7 million for same period in 2019. The decrease is primarily related to selling less of our common shares under our ATM agreement as well as higher dividend payments made to our shareholders in 2020 as compared to 2019.

Exploration and Development Activities

We perform exploration activities at our portfolio of exploration properties in Oaxaca, Mexico and Nevada, U.S.A. All of the properties that make up our Oaxaca Mining Unit are located along what is known as the San Jose structural corridor in the Sierra Madre Sur mountain range, which runs north 70 degrees west. Our properties comprise 55 kilometers of this structural corridor which spans three historic mining districts in Oaxaca. Our Nevada Mining Unit properties are in the Walker Lane Mineral Belt of central Nevada which is known for its significant and high-grade gold-silver production from current and historic mines.

Oaxaca Mining Unit, Mexico

Aguila project: Mine activities during the third quarter included development and ore extraction from the Arista mine, while maintaining strict COVID-19 safety protocols to keep employees safe. During the quarter, underground drilling continued in the Arista mine with two underground diamond drill holes completed, totaling 410 meters. Underground drilling continues to target further expansion of veins currently in production for reserve definition,

32

expansion and mine plan optimization. Two dedicated exploration drifts continued to advance during the quarter with the goal to be complete with the current planned drifting by year-end or early next year.

Alta Gracia project: Our Mirador mine remained closed after the mandatory shutdown and we are evaluating the best time to recommence operations given our current focus on the Arista mine. We plan to utilize this time for further exploration including analysis of the surface geochemical soil sampling program at the Aguacatillo prospect on the Alta Gracia project that was completed during the third quarter.

Nevada Mining Unit, U.S.A.

Isabella Pearl project: During the third quarter, our open pit, heap leach operation at the Isabella Pearl Mine continued operations while maintaining strict COVID-19 protocols to keep employees safe. Exploration activities mainly included geological interpretation and modeling of drill results testing the extension of the Scarlet target and a new gold-bearing zone called “Silica Knob”, both located outside the current permitted mine plan. Surface geological mapping was also undertaken in the Scarlet and Silica Knob areas.

East Camp Douglas property: During the quarter, we commenced our first surface diamond drilling program on the lithocap target area of our East Camp Douglas property. Two holes totaling 422 meters were completed during the third quarter. This initial 1,830-meter program is targeting three general areas: Discovery Breccia, Gypsum Shaft and D2 Cliffs. These potentially mineralized zones are hosted in brecciated vuggy silicified volcanic rock with a high degree of oxidation.

Golden Mile property: During the third quarter, we continued to review historical geological and exploration data along with conducting initial field investigations at our newly acquired Golden Mile property. Other activities during the quarter included 3D modeling of known mineralized areas and historic mine workings and a remote sensing study (enhanced satellite imagery) which illustrated extensive surface hydrothermal alteration across the property. We also completed an internal environmental site review and are now targeting an initial surface diamond drilling program in the potential resource area on the patented claims.

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 flow, and financial condition depend in large part upon the market prices of gold and silver, and base metal prices of 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.

Foreign Currency Risk

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.

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. 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 and final settlement date will result in adjustments to revenues related to the sales of concentrate previously recorded upon shipment. Please see Note 14 in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Interest Rate Risk

Our outstanding debt consists of equipment loans and leased equipment classified as capital leases. As the debt is at fixed rates, we consider our interest rate risk exposure to be insignificant at this time.

35

 Equity Price Risk 

We have in the past, and may in the future, seek to acquire additional funding by 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”)).

Exhibit 95

MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

The following disclosures are provided pursuant to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) and Item 104 of Regulation S-K, which require certain disclosures by companies required to file periodic reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that operate mines regulated under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). The disclosures reflect our U.S. mining operations only as the requirements of the Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K do not apply to our mines operated outside the United States.

Mine Safety Information. Whenever the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) believes a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard or any regulation has occurred, it may issue a citation which describes the alleged violation and fixes a time within which the U.S. mining operator (e.g. our subsidiary, Walker Lane Minerals Corp.) must abate the alleged violation.

The below table reflects citations and orders issued to us by MSHA during the quarter ended September 30, 2020. The proposed assessments for the quarter ended September 30, 2020 were taken from the MSHA data retrieval system.

Additional information about the Act and MSHA references used in the table follows:

● Section 104(a) S&S Citations: Citations received from MSHA under section 104(a) of the Mine Act for violations of mandatory health or safety standards that could significantly and substantially contribute to the cause and effect of a mine safety or health hazard.

● Section 104(b) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 104(b) of the Mine Act, which represents a failure to abate a citation under section 104(a) within the period of time prescribed by MSHA. This results in an order of immediate withdrawal from the area of the mine affected by the condition until MSHA determines that the violation has been abated.

● Section 104(d) S&S Citations and Orders: Citations and orders issued by MSHA under section 104(d) of the Mine Act for unwarrantable failure to comply with mandatory, significant and substantial health or safety standards.

● Section 110(b)(2) Violations: Flagrant violations issued by MSHA under section 110(b)(2) of the Mine Act.

● Section 107(a) Orders: Orders issued by MSHA under section 107(a) of the Mine Act for situations in which MSHA determined an “imminent danger” (as defined by MSHA) existed.

The definition of “mine” under section 3 of the Mine Act includes the mine, as well as other items used in, or to be used in, or resulting from, the work of extracting minerals, such as land, structures, facilities, equipment, machines, tools, and minerals preparation facilities.

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, 2019 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.

2. Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a current expected credit loss method. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experiences, current conditions and a forecast that is supportable. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

6. Income Taxes

The Company recorded income tax expense and income tax benefit of $2.0 million and $0.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $2.4 million and $4.9 million, respectively. In accordance with applicable accounting rules, the interim provision for taxes was calculated by 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%, while a 5% net proceeds of minerals tax applies to the Company’s operations in Nevada, 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), which results in a consolidated effective tax rate above statutory Federal rates.

Enacted in response to the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act provides roughly $2 trillion in economic relief to eligible businesses and individuals impacted by the novel coronavirus outbreak. The CARES Act is significant legislation that will affect nearly every aspect of the economy. The CARES Act affected corporate taxpayers, including corporations seeking sources of liquidity through net operating loss (“NOL”) carryback claims and income tax refunds. The Company has not applied for aid or relief funds under the CARES Act and in most cases will not qualify for such aid as our operations in the U.S. have continued uninterrupted and our operation in Mexico is considered to be foreign business, thus not qualifying for benefits under the Act. However, as a result of changes under the CARES Act, corporate taxpayers with eligible NOLs may now carryback those losses to prior years to receive a refund of up to five years of prior taxes paid. As the CARES Act did not modify IRC Section 172(b)(3), a taxpayer, where advantageous, can still waive the carryback and elect to carry NOLs forward to subsequent tax years. Further, for years 2018 through 2020, the CARES Act removed the 80% NOL utilization limitation on corporate taxpayers, thus the Company may use NOLs to fully offset taxable income in those years. The CARES Act has no immediate impact on the Company’s income taxes, however removal of the NOL utilization limitation will expedite its future realization of US losses generated post Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017.

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 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 2020. The impact of the planned annual dividends for 2020 is reflected in the estimated annual effective tax rate.

As of September 30, 2020, 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 September 30, 2020 and determined that due to this high tax exception, that GILTI tax was not incurred in 2019. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded a reversal of the prior year GILTI tax expense that resulted in $0.9 million tax benefit during the three months ended September 30, 2020.

13. Leases

Operating Leases

The Company leases office equipment and administrative offices from third parties as well as an administrative office from a related party. In addition, the Company has an embedded lease in its Contract Mining Agreement. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term. For leases beginning in 2019 and later, the Company accounts for lease components (e.g., fixed payments including rent, real estate taxes and insurance costs) separately from the non-lease components (e.g., common-area maintenance costs).

Some leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to two years. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company’s sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets are limited by the expected lease term, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain of exercise. The weighted average remaining lease term for the Company’s operating leases as of September 30, 2020 is 0.27 years.

The discount rate implicit within the Company’s leases is generally not determinable and therefore the Company determines the discount rate based on its incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate for the Company’s leases is determined based on the lease term adjusted for impacts of collateral. The weighted average discount rate used to measure the Company’s operating lease liabilities as of September 30, 2020 was 4.48%.

There are no material residual value guarantees and no restrictions or covenants imposed by the Company’s leases.

Most of the Company’s leases have a standard payment schedule; however, the payments for its mining equipment embedded lease are determined by tonnage hauled. This embedded lease is contained in the Contract Mining Agreement entered into for the mining activities at the Company’s Isabella Pearl project. The payments, amortization of the right-of-use asset, and interest vary immaterially from forecasted amounts due to variable conditions at the mine. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $1.8 million to Inventory. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $4.6 million to Inventory and $1.5 million to Property, plant, and mine development. During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $0.3 million to Inventory and $1.4 million to Property, plant, and mine development.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company capitalized variable lease costs of $1.8 million to Inventory and $3.2 million to Property, plant, and mine development. On October 28, 2020, the Company extended the Contract Mining Agreement for a one-year term for its mining activities at the Isabella Pearl project.

Net Income per Common Share

Net Income per Common Share

18. Net Income per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per common share is 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 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 3.6 million and 3.9 million shares of common stock at weighted average exercise prices of $8.97 and $9.73 were outstanding at September 30, 2020 and 2019, 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 those periods, and therefore are anti-dilutive.

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

	Three months ended September 30,				Nine months ended September 30,

Fair Value Measurement

Fair Value Measurement

19. 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 and liabilities measured at fair value by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

	2020		2019		Input Hierarchy Level
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	31,313	$	11,076	Level 1
Gold and silver rounds/bullion	$	5,241	$	4,265	Level 1
Accounts receivable, net	$	4,777	$	8,362	Level 2
Loans payable	$	1,005	$	1,661	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 4 for additional information.

Accounts receivable, net include amounts due to the Company for deliveries of concentrates and doré sold to customers, net of allowance for doubtful accounts of $1.4 million. 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. At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had unrealized losses of $0.1 million and unrealized gains of $0.2 million, respectively, included in its accounts receivable on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets related to mark-to-market adjustments. Please see Note 14 for additional information.

Loans payable consist of obligations for equipment purchases financed on a long-term basis. Loans payable are recorded at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. See Note 11 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:

Covid-19

22. COVID-19

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.

The Isabella Pearl Mine in Nevada has continued to operate at full capacity during the pandemic. Precious metal mining is considered essential to support critical infrastructure under guidelines from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the State of Nevada. The Company has in place safety measures 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 financing will be sufficient for the foreseeable future, although there is no assurance that will be the case.

On October 5, 2020, the Company announced its intention to spin-off its Nevada Mining Unit to shareholders as a separate publicly traded company. The separation will be completed by way of a pro rata distribution of all the outstanding shares of Fortitude Gold Corporation (“Fortitude”) common stock to the Company’s shareholders. Fortitude is a Colorado corporation formed by the Company to complete the spin-off. Following completion of the spin-off, the Company would hold all of the assets and related liabilities of the Oaxaca Mining Unit and Fortitude would hold all of the Nevada assets and related liabilities. The spin-off does not require the approval of the Company’s shareholders, which is expected to be tax-free to the shareholders.

The transaction is subject to certain conditions, including the final approval by the Company’s Board of Directors and the receipt of an effective date for the Form S-1 registration statement filed by Fortitude on October 19, 2020 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The transaction is targeted to be completed by year-end 2020 or in the first quarter of 2021.

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”. The standard modifies the measurement approach for credit losses on financial instruments, including trade receivables, from an incurred loss method to a current expected credit loss method. The standard requires the measurement of expected credit losses to be based on relevant information, including historical experiences, current conditions and a forecast that is supportable. The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2020. The adoption of the standard did not have any effect on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
