VANCOUVER, March 29 /CNW/ - Goldgroup Mining Inc. ('Goldgroup' or the
'Company'), in coordination with DynaResource, Inc.
('DynaUSA'-'DYNR-OTCBB'), is pleased to announce that diamond drilling
from the current 18,500 meter diamond drilling program at the San José
de Gracia gold project in Sinaloa, Mexico ('San José de Gracia') has
encountered high grade gold mineralization yielding 883.91 g/t Au over
0.40 metres (Hole SJG-10-237 at Tres Amigos) as well as 144.08 g/t Au
over 1.24 metres (Hole SJG-11-256 at La Union) plus many intercepts
above the 2.0 g/t Au cut-off grade.
Keith Piggott, President and CEO of Goldgroup, stated: 'Exploration at
San José de Gracia continues to deliver high grade gold results. This
is significant as a number of these recent drill results have expanded
the known areas of mineralization. We are very excited by our work at
San José de Gracia to date and look forward to advancing the project.'

The holes presented above intersected mineralization in excess of the
2.0 g/t Au cut-off grade used in estimating the inferred mineral
resource presented in the San José de Gracia NI 43-101 Technical Report
dated February 28, 2011. Assay results from these latest holes
represent new drilling completed since the calculation of the current
mineral resource estimate and are intended to be used in the estimation
of an
updated mineral resource.
A complete summary of these assay results and a map of the San José de
Gracia property detailing the relative locations of the drill holes
used in estimating the current NI 43-101 mineral resource, this latest
drill program and future proposed drilling, will be posted on the
Company's website under 'Projects - San José de Gracia' at www.goldgroupmining.com.
The San José de Gracia District is 100%-owned by DynaResource de Mexico
S.A. de C.V ('DynaMexico'). Goldgroup currently owns 50% of DynaMexico.
The remaining interest in DynaMexico is owned by DynaUSA. San José de
Gracia is a high-grade advanced exploration gold project hosting a NI
43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate contained in four separate
veins: Tres Amigos, San Pablo, La Union area and the La Purisima trend.
Please refer to the NI 43-101 technical report on San José de Gracia
dated February 28, 2011 which is available on SEDAR.
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 trucked to Hermosillo,
Mexico where Inspectorate America Corp. ('Inspectorate') crushed each
sample 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. Samples over 1.0 grams per tonne gold were re-run using
fire assay with gravity 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 20 samples sent the laboratory.
These standards were purchased commercially from Rocklabs Ltd. of
Auckland, New Zealand. The San José de Gracia drill program is under
the direct supervision of Kevin Sullivan, B.Sc., MAusIMM, contracted by
Mineras de DynaResource S.A. de C.V., the operating entity at San José
de Gracia. Mr. Sullivan is Goldgroup's Vice President, Exploration and
a qualified person, as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Sullivan has reviewed
the technical information contained in this news release and reviewed
the release.

The potential quantities and grades disclosed herein are conceptual in
nature and there has been insufficient drilling and exploration to
define a mineral resource. It is uncertain if further drilling and
exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral
resource. The true width of these intercepts in the above tables are
unknown at this time.
