2024 News Releases

Vancouver, British Columbia (August 14, 2024) Goldgroup Mining Inc. (“Goldgroup” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:GGA, OTC:GGAZF, BMV SIX:GGAN.MX) has entered into an agreement on August 13, 2024 (the “Agreement”) to acquire all of the interests owned by a group of creditors (the "Creditor Group") who own a loan facility pursuant to which various advances were made to Minera Apolo, S.A. de C.V. (“Apolo”) (the “Loan Facility”). The outstanding amount under the Loan Facility is currently approximately USD $2.7 million and the facility is secured against the assets and shares of Apollo located in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Upon completion of the acquisition of the Loan Facility, the Company plans to commence enforcement actions and settlement discussions in respect of the outstanding amounts under the Loan Facility, with the ultimate goal being the transfer of the shares of Apolo as full or partial settlement of the Loan Facility. As a result, Goldgroup would acquire full ownership of Apolo which is the 100% owner of the fully permitted gold project located 140 kilometers east of the capital Zacatecas in the state of Zacatecas, Mexico (the “Pinos Project”).

In consideration for the acquisition of the Loan Facility from the Creditor Group, the Company proposes to issue 50 million common shares pro rata to the members of the Creditor Group, pay cash consideration of USD $0.5M within 18 months of the closing date of the Agreement, and pay USD$1.5M in contingent consideration which is only due upon the completion of certain criteria, including a positive pre-feasibility study at the Pinos Project, the advancement of the project into commercial production, publishing an updated 43-101 with greater than 200,000 ounces of contained gold equivalent ounces for the Pinos Project, or the Company’s owned interest in the Pinos Project falling to less than 51%. However, there shall be no payments made under the Agreement (other than a small cash advance, most of which is refundable) until full legal and equitable title and interest in and to the Pinos Project shall have been obtained by the Company upon enforcement of the security underlying the Loan Facility by the Company.

The completion of the transactions contemplated in this news release are subject to receipt of all necessary approvals, including approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
