Goldgroup Provides a Legal Update

Goldgroup Mining Inc. would like to provide a legal update in regards to DynaResource, Inc.’s award in excess of USD$48 million in damages against the Company. On August 24, 2017, a Federal Amparo judge in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, dismissed Goldgroup Resources Inc.’s Amparo challenge. Goldgroup’s position in response to the USD$48 million claim remains the same with its previous press release (see Goldgroup’s August 31, 2016 and October 14, 2015 press releases). Goldgroup was never notified of the purported court case, and does not recognize any of the claims mentioned therein and is of the belief that such claims are entirely without merit. More importantly, the Company expects the claim to be voided at the Mexican Supreme Court level due to the unambiguous arbitration result in favor of Goldgroup in August, 2016.
