DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

On December 1, 2006, Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-139051) with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission to register 6,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share, authorized under the Company’s Non-Qualified Stock Option and Stock Grant Plan, as amended (“Plan”).  The registration statement also covered an indeterminate number of shares of common stock as may have become issuable as a result of stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions in accordance with anti-dilution provisions.

Pursuant to the undertaking made by the Company in the registration statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the registration statement to terminate the effectiveness of such registration statement and to deregister all of the shares of common stock that remain unsold as of the date hereof.  At its annual meeting for 2010, the Company’s shareholders approved an increase in the amount of shares reserved under the Plan and the Company has amended and restated its Plan.  The Company intends to file a new registration statement on Form S-8 to register the shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, including those previously registered on this registration statement and the additional shares approved for issuance at the annual meeting.
