successor Person under the Indenture referred to in the ABXFC Note upon which this Guarantee is
endorsed), hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Holder of the ABXFC Note upon
which this Guarantee is endorsed and to the Trustee on behalf of each such Holder the due and

terms thereof and of the Indenture referred to therein&#091;; <I>provided</I>, <I>however</I>, that the Guarantor
shall be liable for the amount due under this Guarantee multiplied by the Joint Obligor Fraction in

failure to enforce the provisions of such ABXFC Note or such Indenture, or any waiver, modification
or indulgence granted to ABXFC with respect thereto, by the Holder of such ABXFC Note or by the

<I>however</I>, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall,
without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such ABXFC Note, or increase

respect to such ABXFC Note or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any other

preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, under any applicable bankruptcy law,
equitable cause or any other requirement of applicable law, then, to the extent of such amount

payable with respect to such Security, if any, when and as the same shall become due and payable,

foregoing, no such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the Parent
Guarantor, increase the principal amount of any Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or

Gold Resource shall be determined in accordance with the applicable requirements of Canadian

written notice thereof (which shall be within ten (10)&nbsp;days after receipt by the Indemnitee of such
Claim) to the person from which it seeks to be indemnified (the <B>&#147;Indemnitor&#148;), </B>indicating the
nature of such Claim and the basis therefor; <U>provided,</u>  <u>however,</U> that any delay or failure
by the Indemnitee to give notice to the Indemnitor shall relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations
hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is materially prejudiced by reason of such delay
or failure. The Indemnitor shall have thirty (30)&nbsp;days after receipt of the Indemnitee&#146;s notice to
elect, at its option, to assume the defense of, at its own expense and by its own counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee, any such Claim. If the Indemnitor shall undertake to
compromise or defend any such Claim, it shall promptly notify the Indemnitee of its intention to do
so. Notwithstanding an election by the Indemnitor to assume the defense of such Claim, (i)&nbsp;the
Indemnitee shall have the right to employ at its cost separate counsel and to participate in the
defense of such Claim, and (ii)&nbsp;the Indemnitee shall have the right at any time after the
Indemnitor assumes the defense of such Claim to assume the defense of such Claim if the Indemnitor
subsequently determines that it does not believe the Claim is one for which the Indemnitee is
entitled to indemnification, compensation or reimbursement under this Article&nbsp;9 and requests that
the Indemnitee assume the defense of such Claim (in which case the Indemnitee may retain the legal
counsel previously retained by the Indemnitor to assist in the defense of such Claim). The
Indemnitee and Indemnitor and their counsel shall cooperate fully in the compromise or defense of
any Claim subject to this Article&nbsp;9 and keep one another informed of all developments relating to
any such Claims, and provide copies of all relevant correspondence and documentation relating
thereto. If an Indemnitor receiving a notice of Claim does not elect to defend such Claim within
the thirty (30)&nbsp;day period referred to above, the Indemnitee shall have the right, in addition to
any other right or remedy it may have hereunder, at the Indemnitor&#146;s expense, to defend such Claim.
The Indemnitee&#146;s defense of, or participation in the defense of, any such Claim shall not in any
way diminish or lessen the obligations of the Indemnitor under this Article&nbsp;9. In no event may an
Indemnitor or an Indemnitee settle or compromise any Claim without the consent of the other (which
consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.9 <U>Entire Agreement.</U> This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits
hereto constitute the entire agreement among the Parties hereto with respect to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and there are no agreements,
understandings, restrictions, warranties or representations among the Parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, other than those herein, or therein, provided for.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.10 <U>Specific Performance; Injunctive Relief.</U> Each of the Parties hereto
agrees that irreparable damage could occur in the event that any of the provisions of
this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were
otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties hereto shall be entitled to seek an
injunction or injunctions, without the posting of any bond or showing of any cause, to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, including without limitation specifically enforcing the sale of the
Purchased Assets and enforcing the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, this being
in addition to any other remedy to which a Party is entitled under Law or in equity, but
also subject to the other terms of this Agreement (including the conditions set forth
herein). Specific performance shall not be available to a party if the cost, expense or
harm is disproportionate to the remedy sought.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.11 <U>Election of Remedies; Limitation of Damages.</U> Neither the exercise of, nor the
failure to, exercise a right or to give notice of a claim under this Agreement will constitute an
election of remedies or limit Purchaser on the one hand, or Seller on the other hand, in any
manner in the enforcement of any other remedies that may be available to either of them, whether
at law or in equity. No Party hereto shall be liable to another for any consequential, incidental,
indirect, special, punitive, exemplary, loss of profits or benefits or similarly based theories of
damages except where such damages must be paid to a third party as part of the indemnification
obligation hereunder. The rights and remedies provided by this Agreement are cumulative, and the
use of any one right or remedy by any Party shall not preclude or waive its right to use any or
all other remedies. Said rights and remedies are given in addition to any other rights the Parties
may have under Law or otherwise. All the rights and remedies may be exercised and enforced
concurrently or whenever occasion for the exercise arises.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;13.12 <U>Performance of Other Party&#146;s Obligations.</U> If any Party fails to perform or
observe any of its covenants, agreements or obligations hereunder, in a timely manner after having
received notice from the other Party, then the other Party shall have the right, but not the
obligation, at its sole election (but not as its exclusive remedy) to perform or observe the
covenants, agreements or obligations which are asserted to have not been performed or observed at
the expense of the failing Party and to recover all costs or expenses incurred in connection
therewith.

contingent, determined, determinable or otherwise, and whether to be performed, or relating to or
arising from events, occurrences, actions, omissions, operations, facts, circumstances or matters
occurring, existing or asserted, before, at or after the date of this Guaranty) agreed to, made, or
owed, by Seller to Beneficiary and its Affiliates and their directors, officers, agents and
employees under the Purchase Agreement and any other agreements or documents delivered in
connection with the Purchase Agreement (the Purchase Agreement and all such other agreements and
documents collectively, the &#147;Agreements&#148;) (collectively, the &#147;<u>Liabilities and Obligations</u>&#148;).

unconditional, present and continuing guarantee of payment and performance, not of collection, and

of the Liabilities and Obligations against Seller or any other party or against any security for
the payment and performance of the Liabilities and Obligations before proceeding against, or as a
condition to proceeding against, Guarantor. In no event shall the Beneficiary have any obligation
(although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against Seller before seeking satisfaction
from Guarantor. The Beneficiary may proceed under any of the Agreements, prior or subsequent to,
or simultaneously with, the enforcement of the Beneficiary&#146;s rights hereunder.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.&nbsp;<U>Waiver</U>. Guarantor unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a)

law to preserve intact any rights against Guarantor, including, without limitation, any demand,
presentment and protest, proof of notice of nonpayment under the Agreements and notice of default
or any failure of Seller and its Affiliates and its and their successors and assigns to perform or
comply with any term, covenant or condition of the Agreements, (c)&nbsp;any requirement of diligence or
to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate damages resulting from default under the Agreements, (d)&nbsp;any
defense based on any statute of limitations, and (e)&nbsp;any other circumstance whatsoever which might
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense of a guarantor or surety or
which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor. Beneficiary, in its sole discretion, may,
without any prejudice to its rights under this Guaranty, at any time or times, without notice to or
the consent of Guarantor, modify or amend (with the consent of the Seller) the Liabilities and
Obligations under the Agreements. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the
Beneficiary, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between Seller and the Beneficiary, the
obligations of Seller under the Agreements.

continue to be effective in the event any petition is filed by or against Seller or Guarantor for
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization; in the event Seller or Guarantor becomes insolvent or
makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; in the event a receiver or trustee is appointed
for all or any significant part of Seller&#146;s or Guarantor&#146;s assets; and shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Liabilities and Obligations, or any part hereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Beneficiary, whether as a
&#147;voidable preference,&#148; &#147;fraudulent conveyance,&#148; or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the Liabilities and Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid or performed and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

Guarantor that its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged until the payment and
performance in full of the Liabilities and Obligations by Purchaser or Guarantor. Guarantor
expressly waives all rights it may have now or in the future under any statute, or at common law,
or at law or in equity, or otherwise, to compel the Beneficiary to proceed in respect of the
Liabilities and Obligations against Purchaser or any other party or against any security for the
payment and performance of the Liabilities and Obligations before proceeding against, or as a
condition to proceeding against, Guarantor. In no event shall the Beneficiary have any obligation
(although it is entitled, at its option) to proceed against Purchaser before seeking satisfaction
from Guarantor. The Beneficiary may proceed under any of the Agreements, prior or subsequent to,
or simultaneously with, the enforcement of the Beneficiary&#146;s rights hereunder.

demand,
presentment and protest, proof of notice of nonpayment under the Agreements and notice of
default or any failure of Purchaser and its Affiliates and its and their successors and
assigns to
perform or comply with any term, covenant or condition of the Agreements, (c)&nbsp;any requirement
of diligence or to exhaust any remedies or to mitigate damages resulting from default under
the
Agreements, (d)&nbsp;any defense based on any statute of limitations, and (e)&nbsp;any other
circumstance
whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge, release or defense
of
a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against Guarantor. Beneficiary,
in
its sole discretion, may, without any prejudice to its rights under this Guaranty, at any time
or
times, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor, modify or amend (with the consent of the
Purchaser) the Liabilities and Obligations under the Agreements. The provisions of this
Guaranty are for the benefit of the Beneficiary, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as
between Purchaser and the Beneficiary, the obligations of Purchaser under the Agreements.

Effectiveness.</U> This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and
continue to be effective in the event any petition is filed by or against Purchaser or
Guarantor for
dissolution, liquidation or reorganization; in the event Purchaser or Guarantor becomes
insolvent
or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; in the event a receiver or trustee is
appointed
for all or any significant part of Purchaser&#146;s or Guarantor&#146;s assets; and shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the
Liabilities and Obligations, or any part hereof, is, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or
reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Beneficiary, whether as a
&#147;voidable preference,&#148; &#147;fraudulent conveyance,&#148; or otherwise, all as though such payment or
performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
rescinded,
reduced, restored or returned, the Liabilities and Obligations shall be reinstated and deemed
reduced only by such amount paid or performed and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
returned.
