GOLD RESOURCE CORPORATION CHAIRMAN WILLIAM REID TO RETIRE; VICE CHAIRMAN BILL CONRAD NAMED SUCCESSOR
COLORADO SPRINGS December 30, 2013 Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) (the Company) announced today that Mr. William (Bill) Reid, Chairman of the Companys Board of Directors, will retire his post effective December 31, 2013. The Companys Vice Chairman, Mr. Bill Conrad, was unanimously selected by the Board of Directors to succeed Bill Reid as Chairman of the Board. Gold Resource Corporation is a gold and silver producer with operations in the southern state of Oaxaca, Mexico. The Company has returned over $92 million to shareholders in monthly dividends since declaring production July 1, 2010, and offers shareholders the option to convert their cash dividends into physical gold and silver and take delivery.
Mr. Bill Reids retirement from the Board of Directors marks a major milestone in his three decades-plus career in the mining industry. The Company congratulates Mr. Reid on his retirement decision and thanks him for his vision and his dedicated service since the Companys inception. Mr. Reid, along with his brother David Reid, the Companys former VP of Exploration who retired earlier this year, worked tirelessly to create and build Gold Resource Corporation from a start-up junior explorer into the gold and silver producer it has become today.
Bill Conrad, the Companys longest tenured independent director, having served since 2006, will take over the Chairman role for Gold Resource Corporation. From 1990 until December 2012, Mr. Conrad served as Vice-President of MCM Capital Management, Inc., a privately-held financial and management consulting firm he co-founded. Mr. Conrad also serves as a director of Synergy Resources Corporation.
In connection with the retirement of Mr. Reid, the Board has determined it will reduce the number of members to its current number of four, with three of these four seats held by independent directors, for the foreseeable future.
I am very proud of Gold Resource Corporation and the team of professionals we have put in place, and I believe the Company is unique in its approach to the industry, stated Mr. Bill Reid. I am very pleased we built this Company from scratch into a precious metal producer of gold and silver distributing meaningful dividends to its shareholders. And, I am confident in the ability of Jason Reid, Bill Conrad and our team to continue to build value for the shareholders of Gold Resource.
Bill Reid, along with his brother David Reid, sustained long careers in this challenging mining business, surviving the difficult times and prospering during good times of this cyclical industry, stated Gold Resource Corporations Chairman, Mr. Bill Conrad. Bill has left a legacy of multiple deposit discoveries and mine building to his name. We wish Bill well as he turns to the next chapter in his life and are pleased that he plans to consult for us as we search for and evaluate potential future mining projects.
Gold Resource Corporations CEO and President, Mr. Jason Reid stated, I would like to congratulate Mr. Conrad on his promotion to Chairman of the Board and look forward to working with him in his new capacity.
