Gold Resource Corporation Announces Contract With SLR for Completion of the Back Forty Feasibility Study

Key Terms

feasibility study technical

A feasibility study is an assessment that evaluates whether a proposed project or idea is practical and likely to succeed before investing significant time and resources. It considers factors like costs, potential benefits, and challenges, helping stakeholders decide if moving forward makes sense. Think of it as a detailed plan that gauges if a new venture is worth pursuing.

technical report summary regulatory

A technical report summary is a concise overview of detailed research or analysis about a particular subject, highlighting key findings and important information. For investors, it provides a quick understanding of complex data or technical details, helping them make informed decisions without needing to review the entire report. Think of it as a brief map that points out the most essential parts of a larger, detailed document.

regulation s-k regulatory

A set of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules that tell public companies which narrative and qualitative details must be disclosed in filings, such as risk factors, management discussion, executive pay, legal proceedings and business description. Think of it as a standardized checklist or blueprint that ensures investors get the same types of background information from every company so they can compare risks, management quality and strategy before making investment decisions.

irr financial

IRR (Internal Rate of Return) is the annualized percentage return an investment is expected to produce based on its projected series of cash outflows and inflows; mathematically, it’s the rate that makes the present value of those cash flows balance to zero. Investors use IRR to compare and rank projects or investments—similar to comparing the interest rates on savings accounts—to judge which offers the best return for the time and risk involved.

npv@6% financial

Net present value at 6% (npv@6%) takes a series of expected future cash flows from an investment and converts them into today’s dollars using a 6% annual discount rate, so you can compare the value now rather than later. It matters to investors because it shows whether projected returns exceed the 6% hurdle—like checking if future fruit in a tree is worth more than planting costs today—helping decide whether to buy, hold or pass.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE American: GORO) (the “Company”) today announced that it has engaged Responsible Mining Solutions Corp. (“RMS”) a part of SLR Consulting Ltd. (“SLR”), to complete a comprehensive feasibility study (the “Feasibility Study”) for the Company’s wholly owned Back Forty project, located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The Feasibility Study will evaluate technical, economic, and operational parameters associated with the Back Forty project, including mine design considerations, processing options, infrastructure requirements, environmental factors, and project economics. Work under the agreement will commence immediately.

This engagement represents a key milestone in Gold Resource Corporation’s broader growth strategy, as the Company advances its efforts to expand its North American asset base and strengthen its long‑term production profile. The Feasibility Study is expected to provide a critical foundation for informed decision making regarding the scope, sequencing, permitting and execution of the project.

SLR was selected based on its extensive experience in mining engineering, mineral economics, and project development, as well as its familiarity with complex feasibility level evaluations. The Company expects the engagement to support not only the initial Feasibility Study but also potential follow‑on technical work and permitting support as the project advances.

In October 2023, the Company published a Technical Report Summary (the “TRS”) in compliance with Subpart1300 of Regulation S-K. Using gold prices of $1,800 per ounce, silver prices of $23.30 per ounce and copper prices of $3.90 per pound, the TRS resulted in an IRR of 25.7% and an NPV@6% of $214.5 million. The Company expects that the current commodity environment will result in a significantly higher valuation for the project and support a production decision in the future.
