TSX:GGA

VANCOUVER, Sept. 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Goldgroup Mining Inc., TSX:GGA, ("Goldgroup" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that a multi-phase drilling and exploration program at its Caballo Blanco gold project in Veracruz, Mexico will commence near the end of September, 2010. The budget for this program is US$8.5 million. Goldgroup's 500 km(2) Caballo Blanco property hosts multiple mineralized zones comprising numerous geological targets.

The 30,000 metre multi-drill program, using diamond and reverse circulation drilling, has been designed to expand and upgrade the current NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate at the La Paila anomaly (contained in the NI 43-101 technical report dated March 22, 2010) and to test other highly prospective areas for mineralization, including targets at the Red Valley and Highway zones. The NI 43-101 technical report dated March 22, 2010 addresses only the estimated mineral resource of 656,000 oz/Au (139,000 oz/Au indicated; 517,000 oz/Au inferred) from the La Paila area in the Northern Zone and was compiled from 32 diamond drill holes totaling approximately 7,000 meters.

Francisco Escandon, Director of Operations at Caballo Blanco stated: "This extensive exploration program at Caballo Blanco will provide Goldgroup with enough geological knowledge of the area to significantly advance our production planning process. The Company's future annual production target for Caballo Blanco is approximately 100,000 ounces of gold".

As part of the exploration program at Caballo Blanco, the Company also intends to conduct:

    -  Ground geophysics - a 63 km induced polarization (IP) survey (line
       cutting has commenced)
    -  Geochemical analysis of surface grab samples - in progress
    -  Metallurgical testing
    -  Construction of several underground adits for bulk sampling and to
       assess structural geology
    -  An environmental impact study
