Goldgroup Intercepts Significant Oxide Gold at Caballo Blanco, Mexico

11.08.2011  |  CNW

VANCOUVER, Aug. 11, 2011 /CNW/ --
DDH 11 CBN 108: 84.77 m @ 0.71 g/t Au


DDH 11 CBN 112: 71.50 m @ 0.51 g/t Au


DDH 11 CBN 116: 94.80 m @ 0.53 g/t Au

VANCOUVER, Aug. 11, 2011 /CNW/ - 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 southwest. All the drill holes reported below (see Tables 1
and 2) are exploration holes.  Drilling remains ongoing to define and
to expand the eastern, southern and southwestern flanks of the La Paila
gold zone as the zone currently remains open in these directions.


Keith Piggott, President and CEO of Goldgroup, stated: 'These diamond
drill results yielded gold intercepts all of which continue to be
contained in completely oxidized, vuggy and siliceous rock occurring
inside and peripheral to the existing La Paila zone.  These results
continue to give better definition to the design of the first open pit
and its extension in a southwesterly direction. The current drilling
program, together with the on-going column-leach metallurgical testing,
environmental and sociological studies as well as the run of mine
heap-leach pad design and other engineering, form the basis for
targeting to bring Caballo Blanco into production in the second half of
2012.'

All 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 available on SEDAR. The results presented today
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 DDH 10 CBN 54 to
DDH 11 CBN 117 as well as a drill-hole location map of the La Paila
zone detailing the relative locations of the drill holes will be posted

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 alteration zones 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 up to
drill hole 11 CBN 113. From drill hole 11 CBN 114 onwards, the samples
were collected by ALS Minerals and transported to their Guadalajara
preparation facility where they were dried and crushed to -2mm.  A 250
gram split of the coarse material was then pulverized to -200 mesh. 
The rejects remained at the prep facility and the pulps were air
couriered to ALS Minerals North Vancouver facility and analyzed for
gold by 30g fire assay with an AA finish.  In addition, a 35 element
ICP analysis 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 to 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 is responsible for ensuring
that the scientific and technical information in this release is
accurate.

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 widths of the intercepts disclosed in this news
release are unknown at this time.
