2011 News Releases

Vancouver, British Columbia (May 2, 2011) - Goldgroup Mining Inc. ("Goldgroup" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received its explosives permit and environmental approval for tunneling at the La Paila zone at its Caballo Blanco gold project in Veracruz, Mexico.

Two tunnels will be driven into the La Paila zone for better interpretation of the high-grade structures within the mineralized zone and also to extract large scale bulk samples for pilot metallurgical sampling to confirm the suitability of an open-cut, run-of-mine, heap-leach gold operation.

Keith Piggott Goldgroup's President and CEO said. "This is another important milestone. Together with our diamond drilling program and advanced on-site column leach testing, the granting of these approvals is in line with our schedule to commence production at Caballo Blanco in 2012."

About Caballo Blanco

Goldgroup owns a 70% interest in Caballo Blanco. The remaining 30% interest is owned by Almaden Minerals Ltd. The Caballo Blanco project consists of a series of oxide gold zones located in the Veracruz province of eastern Mexico. The initial gold zone at Caballo Blanco is the La Paila prospect located within a cluster of high-sulphidation epithermal gold deposits referred to as the Northern Zone. The current estimated mineral resource for La Paila consists of 139,000 ounces of gold (6.7 million tonnes grading 0.65 g/t Au) contained in indicated resources and 517,000 ounces of gold (27.6 million tonnes grading 0.58 g/t Au) contained in inferred resources. This estimate was compiled from 32 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 7,000 metres completed by NGEx Resources Inc. prior to Goldgroup's acquisition of its interest in the project from NGEx in November, 2009. Other known gold zones at Caballo Blanco occur approximately 7 km to the southeast at the Highway Zone. These gold zones have yet to be drill tested.
