GOLDGROUP PROVIDES CERRO PRIETO UPDATE
Goldgroup Mining Inc. has released production and sales results for January to September, 2015, for the
Cerro Prieto project located in the Cucurpe mining district, Sonora,
Mexico, which is composed of the San Felix (205 hectares), San Francisco (10
hectares), Elba (5.82 hectares), Huerta de Oro (20 hectares), Reyna de Plata (9.79 hectares),
Cerro Prieto North (2,508 hectares) and Argonauta 6 (4,120 hectares) mineral
concessions. Cerro Prieto is 52 road kilometres from the regional
centre of Magdalena de Kino (population 40,000) and 150 kilometres
northeast of the city of Hermosillo.
Cerro Prieto commenced small-scale trial mining and leaching in December,
2013, and until commercial production is achieved, all costs and
revenues are capitalized to the mineral property. During the nine-month
period ended Sept. 30, 2015, Cerro Prieto produced 6,250 ounces of
gold.
PRODUCTION AND SALES RESULTS OVER NINE MONTHS

As depicted in the attached table, the project has shown a positive trend
in gold production over the previous two quarters.
Keith Piggott, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Goldgroup, commented: "The
company has continued its effort to bring better efficiency into Cerro
Prieto to allow profitability at lower metal prices. Our key focus for
the rest of the fiscal year is to ramp up gold production and lower
crushing and mining costs. Although there's still lots of work to be
done, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team
members for their efforts during these volatile times."
The company wishes to make clear that it is not basing its production
decision on a preliminary economic assessment, demonstrating the
potential viability of mineral resources, or a feasibility study of
mineral reserves, demonstrating economic and technical viability, and as
a result, there is increased uncertainty, and these are multiple
technical and economic risks of failure, which are associated with this
production decision. These risks, among others, include areas that are
analyzed in more detail in a preliminary economic assessment or
a feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources or
reserves, more detailed metallurgy, and a number of various specialized
studies.
We seek Safe Harbor.
