Goldgroup Cuts Additional 100-Plus Metre Intercepts of Oxide Gold at Caballo Blanco, Mexico

DDH 11 CBN 79: 100.10 m @ 0.88 g/t Au
DDH 11 CBN 82: 154.00 m @ 0.59 g/t Au

Other Higher-Grade Intercepts Include:
DDH 11 CBN 84: 64.00 m @ 1.20 g/t Au


Vancouver, British Columbia (May 25, 2011) - Goldgroup Mining Inc. ("Goldgroup" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that additional diamond drill holes at its Caballo Blanco gold project in Veracruz, Mexico have yielded significant gold intercepts, extending the La Paila oxide gold zone to the west and southwest. All the drill holes reported below (see Tables 1 and 2) are exploration holes. Drilling remains ongoing to define and to delimit the eastern and southwestern flanks of the La Paila gold zone as the zone currently remains open in these two directions.

Keith Piggott, President and CEO of Goldgroup, stated: "These diamond drill results yielded gold intercepts contained in completely oxidized rock occurring inside and peripheral to the existing La Paila zone. They are similar in grade to the current NI 43-101 estimated mineral resource and give better definition to allow the design of the first open pit. The current drilling program, together with the on-going column-leach metallurgical testing, environmental and sociological studies as well as the heap-leach pad design form the basis for targeting to bring Caballo Blanco into production in 2012."

A high percentage of the holes presented above that intersected gold mineralization are in excess of the 0.2 g/t Au cut-off grade used in estimating the inferred mineral resource presented in the current Caballo Blanco NI 43-101 technical report, as amended February 28, 2011, and available on SEDAR. These results are part of the current drill program and are intended to be used in the preparation of an updated mineral resource estimate. A complete summary of the assay results from diamond drill holes 10 CBN 54 to 11 CBN 86 as well as a drill-hole location map of the La Paila zone detailing the relative locations of the drill holes used in estimating the current NI 43-101 mineral resource, will be posted on the Company's website under "Projects -- Caballo Blanco" at www.goldgroupmining.com.

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 principal 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 the category of indicated resources and 517,000 ounces of gold (27.6 million tonnes grading 0.58 g/t Au) contained in the category of 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.

Assaying and Qualified Person

After project geologists logged and marked the core, technicians cut the individual lengths with a diamond saw, then tagged the bags and secured them with security clips. The samples were then collected by Inspectorate America Corp. ("Inspectorate") and transported to their preparation facility at Durango, Mexico where they were dried and crushed to -150 mesh. The rejects remained with Inspectorate while the pulps were air couriered to Inspectorate's Richmond, BC, Canada facility and analyzed for gold by fire assay with Atomic Absorption ("AA") finish. In addition, a 30 element Inductively Coupled Plasma ("ICP") analysis (aqua regia digest) was conducted on all samples. A QA/QC program was implemented as part of the sampling procedure for the drill program. One standard, one blank or one duplicate was inserted per group of 15 samples sent the laboratory. This news release has been prepared under the supervision of Mr. Kevin Sullivan, B.Sc. MAusIMM, and the Company's Vice President of Exploration who serves as the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 responsible for ensuring that the scientific and technical information in this release is accurate.
