According to InvestingPro analysis, GORO appears undervalued at current levels. Investors can access a comprehensive Pro Research Report on GORO, one of 1,400+ US equities covered. FTSE Russell notified the company that the combined entity will not be eligible for inclusion in the index beginning July 20, 2026, according to a press release statement.

The exclusion is based on Goldgroup’s failure to meet FTSE Russell’s nationality eligibility requirements within the Russell Index family, apparently due to Goldgroup’s Canadian home country indicators. Gold Resource was added to certain Russell Indexes after the market close on June 26, 2026, as part of the annual and semi-annual Russell U.S. Indexes reconstitution. The merger with Goldgroup is expected to be completed after the market close today, subject to obtaining all required approvals and the satisfaction or waiver of all required closing conditions.

Gold Resource operates the Don David Gold Mine in Oaxaca, Mexico, and is developing the Back Forty Project in Michigan.
