As previously announced, on January 25, 2026, Gold Resource Corporation (the "Company") entered into an Arrangement Agreement and Plan of Merger, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Arrangement Agreement dated May 15, 2026 (the "Arrangement Agreement"), with Goldgroup Mining Inc., a corporation incorporated under the laws of the province of British Columbia ("Goldgroup"), and Goldgroup Merger Sub Inc., a Colorado corporation and direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup ("Purchaser Sub"). The Arrangement Agreement provides that, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions of the Arrangement Agreement, Purchaser Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving and continuing as the surviving corporation as a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup (such transaction, the "Merger").

In connection with the Merger, the Company filed a definitive proxy statement (the "Proxy Statement") with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on May 29, 2026. As is common in transactions of this type, multiple lawsuits have been threatened by purported shareholders of the Company, challenging the completeness and accuracy of the disclosure in the Proxy Statement.

The supplemental disclosures below should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, available on the SEC's website at https://www.sec.gov, along with periodic reports and other information the Company files with the SEC. To the extent information herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement. All page references are to the Proxy Statement, and terms used but not defined below have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

The Company and Goldgroup believe the claims in the threatened lawsuits are without merit and that no supplemental disclosures are required under applicable law. However, to eliminate the burden, expense, and uncertainties inherent in such litigation, and without admitting any liability or wrongdoing, the Company is voluntarily making the supplemental disclosures set forth below. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality of any of these disclosures. The Company and Goldgroup specifically deny all allegations in the threatened lawsuits, including that any additional disclosure was or is required.

Supplemental Proxy Statement Disclosures

The following changes, shown in strikethrough (for deletions) and underline (for additions) text, are made to the second sentence under the heading "Who is entitled to vote at the Special Meeting?" on page 8

As of the record date, there were approximately 161,889,776163,392,909 Company Shares outstanding, with one vote per share.

The following disclosure is added immediately following the first sentence in the sixth paragraph on page 33

None of these agreements contained a "don't ask, don't waive" provision that would prevent the counterparty from making a proposal to acquire the Company.

The following disclosure is added immediately following the second sentence of the second full paragraph on page 43

The projections provided to ATB Cormark were subject to the assumptions and limitations set forth in the section entitled "-Certain Prospective Financial and Operating Information" beginning on page 49 of this Proxy Statement.

The following disclosure is added to the top of page 49

Certain Prospective Financial and Operating Information

The Company does not, as a matter of course, make public projections as to future performance, earnings, or other results due to the inherent unpredictability of projections and their underlying assumptions and estimates. However, the Company provided to Goldgroup, in connection with its due diligence review, certain non-public unaudited financial and operating projections on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the Merger, for the period from 2026 through 2030 (the "Company Projections for Gold Resource"). The Company prepared similar financial and operating projections for Goldgroup for the period from 2026 through 2031 based, in part, on Goldgroup's management model and certain estimates of the Company's management (the "Company Projections for Goldgroup" and, together with the Company Projections for Gold Resource, are referred to as the "Projections" herein); Goldgroup management was not involved in the preparation of the Company Projections for Goldgroup aside from providing the Company with Goldgroup's management model. In addition, the Company provided the Projections to ATB Cormark in connection with the preparation of its valuation analyses and fairness opinion, as described in, and subject to the assumptions and limitations as set forth in, the section entitled "-Opinion of Our Financial Advisor."

The Projections were not prepared with a view toward public disclosure. They are only included herein because they were (i) prepared by the Company in connection with due diligence, (ii) made available to the Board in connection with its review of the potential transaction with Goldgroup and its evaluation of strategic alternatives, and (iii) used by ATB Cormark in preparing its valuation analyses and fairness opinion provided to the Board, as described in the section entitled "-Opinion of Our Financial Advisor." The summary of the Projections is not included to influence any Company stockholder's decision whether to vote in favor of the proposal to approve the Arrangement Agreement. The Projections may differ from published analyst estimates and forecasts.

The Projections do not necessarily comply with published guidelines of the SEC, the provisions of NI 43-101, the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of financial forecasts, or generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), and do not include footnote disclosures as may be required by GAAP. Neither BDO USA, P.C., the Company's independent auditors, nor any other independent accountants, have compiled, examined, or performed any procedures with respect to the Projections, nor have they expressed any opinion or any other form of assurance on such information or its achievability, and assume no responsibility for, and disclaim any association with, the prospective financial information.

The Projections, while presented with numerical specificity, were based on numerous variables and assumptions that are inherently uncertain and many of which are beyond the control of the Company's management. By their nature, the projections become subject to greater uncertainty with each successive year. The underlying assumptions necessarily involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive, and financial market conditions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond the Company's control, including general economic conditions, competition, and the risks discussed under the section entitled "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information." The Projections also reflect assumptions as to certain business decisions that are subject to change and periodic revision based on actual results, revised business prospects, changes in the competitive environment, changes in general business or economic conditions, or any other event that was not anticipated when the Projections were prepared. In addition, the Projections might be affected by the Company's or Goldgroup's ability to achieve proposed initiatives, objectives, and targets over the applicable periods.

The Projections treat the Company and Goldgroup, as applicable, on a stand-alone basis, without giving effect to the Merger, including the impact of negotiating or executing the Arrangement Agreement, any expenses incurred in connection with consummating the Merger, the effect of any business or strategic decision taken as a result of the Arrangement Agreement, or the effect of any decision that would likely have been taken absent the Arrangement Agreement but was instead altered, accelerated, postponed, or not taken in anticipation of the Merger.

There can be no assurance that the Projections will be realized, and actual results may vary materially from those shown. The inclusion of the Projections herein should not be regarded as an indication that the Company, Goldgroup, or any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, or representatives considered or consider them to be predictive of actual future events, and they should not be relied upon as such. The Company has not updated the Projections to reflect management's current views, and they should not be treated as guidance for any period. Neither the Company, Goldgroup, nor any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, or representatives gives any assurance that actual results will not differ materially from the Projections, and none of them undertakes any obligation to update or revise the Projections to reflect circumstances existing after the date they were generated or the occurrence of future events, except as required by law. Neither the Company, Goldgroup, nor any of their respective affiliates, advisors, officers, directors, or representatives has made or makes any representation to any stockholder of the Company or other person regarding the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the Projections or that the Projections will be achieved. The Company has made no representation to Goldgroup or its affiliates, in the Arrangement Agreement or otherwise, concerning the Projections. The Projections are forward-looking statements, expressly qualified in their entirety by the risks and uncertainties identified above and the cautionary statements contained in Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as such risk factors may be amended, supplemented, or superseded from time to time by other reports filed with the SEC, available at www.sec.gov.

Certain of the Projections (including all-in sustaining costs per ounce of gold equivalent and free cash flow) are or may be considered non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have inherent limitations because they exclude charges and credits required in a GAAP presentation. They should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information presented in compliance with GAAP, and as used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled amounts used by other companies. Financial measures provided to a financial advisor in connection with a business combination transaction such as the Merger are excluded from the definition of non-GAAP financial measures under SEC rules, which would otherwise require a reconciliation to GAAP. Accordingly, no reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures in the Projections to GAAP measures was created, used, or relied upon by the Board or ATB Cormark in connection with their respective evaluations of the Merger.

In light of the foregoing factors and the uncertainties inherent in the Projections, Company stockholders are cautioned not to place undue, if any, reliance on the Projections. Neither the Company, nor Goldgroup or any of their respective affiliates or representatives, including ATB Cormark, has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the ultimate performance of the Company compared to the information contained in the Projections.

The following is a summary of the Projections (which summary is not included herein to induce any Company stockholder to vote in favor of the proposal to approve the Arrangement Agreement):
