(GGA:TSX), and Goldgroup Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Goldgroup.

Gold Prices Remain Elevated as Markets Monitor Inflation and Interest Rate Outlook
Gold prices continued to trade well above year-earlier levels despite recent volatility. According to GoldPrice.org on the morning of July 9, spot gold was priced at US$4,106.39 per ounce, an increase of US$33.82, or 0.83%, on the day. The metal was up 22.77% over the previous 12 months and had gained 125.45% over the past five years. Over shorter periods, gold declined 0.92% during the previous 30 days but remained up 11.57% over the last six months.
Bloomberg reported on July 7 that gold prices moved within a narrow trading range as market participants looked for additional signals regarding the Federal Reserve’s interest rate path. The publication stated that renewed U.S. airstrikes in Iran had increased concerns about higher energy prices and inflation, while bullion continued to hold above US$4,100 per ounce after declining 1.4% in the previous session as crude oil prices advanced.
Also on the 7th, Reuters reported the same day that spot gold slipped 0.5% to US$4,144.36 per ounce, while August U.S. gold futures settled 0.3% lower at US$4,157.40 per ounce. Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals, told Reuters, “I think the reality is setting in that the Fed is still very much focused on reigning in inflation, so higher for longer still seems the most likely Fed path.”
Reuters also reported that the People’s Bank of China increased its gold holdings for a 20th consecutive month. According to the report, the country’s gold reserves rose to 75.44 million fine troy ounces at the end of June, compared with 74.96 million fine troy ounces at the end of May.
In a July 7 update for the What’s Chen Buying? What’s Chen Selling? newsletter, Chen Lin discussed the pending merger between Gold Resource Corp. and Goldgroup Mining Inc. after shareholders approved the transaction.
Lin wrote that the companies expected the merger to close “around 7/17, 10 days from now.” He also disclosed that he was a shareholder of both companies and said he viewed Gold Resource shares as trading at a discount relative to Goldgroup.
“As I discussed a few times, there are about 10-20+% discounts on GORO,” Lin wrote. “I am trimming GGA and buying GORO here for arbitrage.”

Separately, in its corporate presentation, Gold Resource outlined operational activities at its Don David Gold Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico. The presentation stated that the company had engaged an underground mining contractor to accelerate development and production at the Three Sisters vein system. It also stated that the operation was transitioning to the cut and fill mining method, which the company said offers greater selectivity and reduces dilution in narrow vein environments while recovering the same amount of metal with fewer tons mined.
The presentation also stated that the company had begun replacing its aging mobile mining fleet to increase productivity and reduce costs. In addition, it said a third dry stack filter press had been ordered to enable higher throughput and provide a consistent feed rate for metal recovery.
