Hochschild´s investment in GRC to be diluted to 28%
Gold Resource Corporation (GRC), which is 30% owned by Hochschild Mining plc
("Hochschild" or "the Company") yesterday announced a private placement of
approximately $56 million to increase the development of its Oaxaca Mining
Unit's production profile, accelerate its exploration programmes, initiate a
formal reserve report and to capitalise on new property acquisition
opportunities. Hochschild remains supportive of GRC, however, the Board and
management team see organic growth through investment in Hochschild´s extensive
and rapidly expanding exploration pipeline as the Company´s key priority. As a
result, Hochschild has not participated in the proposed financing and its
current 30% holding in GRC will be diluted to approximately 28%.
GRC successfully commenced commercial production on 1 July 2010 and has a target
of 70,000 ounces of gold (4.2 million silver equivalent ounces) in the first 12
months of commercial production, with a three year target to triple annual
production to 200,000 gold equivalent ounces (12 million silver equivalent
ounces).
