GORO Will Get Hammered At The Open It's going to be very ugly when the market opens:
COLORADO SPRINGS – July 19, 2012 – Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) reported its preliminary production results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2012 of approximately 14,500 ounces precious metal gold equivalent (AuEq) at a 60:1 price ratio…
As a result of the decrease in second quarter production, the Company revises its 2012 Outlook by ~15% to a targeted annual production range of 100,000 to 120,000 ounces AuEq, at an estimated 53:1 price ratio. This represents a decrease from its previous 2012 target of 120,000 to 140,000 AuEq. In addition, the Company said the ongoing development of the Arista mine will determine whether the Company’s target of 200,000 ounce AuEq, at an estimated 53:1 price ratio, will be achieved in 2013 or 2014.
COLORADO SPRINGS – October 17, 2012 – Gold Resource Corporation (NYSE MKT: GORO) reported its preliminary production results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012 of approximately 22,300 ounces precious metal gold equivalent (AuEq calculated at a 55:1 price ratio).
In consideration of the near-term challenge of dilution for the remainder of 2012, the Company revises its 2012 annual production Outlook down to a range of 85,000 to 100,000 AuEq ounces.
From a potential 140,000 oz annual production rate in 2012 to a potential 85,000 ozs is not going to make anyone happy. Management should never create expectations they may not meet.
