positive stepVANCOUVER, Feb. 27, 2014 /CNW/ – Goldgroup Mining Inc. (“Goldgroup” or the “Company”) (TSX:GGA, OTC:GGAZF, BMV SIX:GGAN.MX) is pleased to announce that its 100% owned subsidiary, Granmin S.A. de C.V. (“Granmin”), has received the permit for use of explosives from the Mexican military called SEDENA (“Secretary of National Defense”). This represents the final permit necessary for full-scale operations at the Company’s 100%-owned Cerro Prieto open-pit, heap leach gold mine located in Sonora, Mexico. The explosives permit allows Goldgroup to order and use explosives for mining purposes under the supervision of the military. The Environmental Impact Statement (Manifestacion de Impacto Ambiental) and the Authorization of Change of Land Use (Estudio Tecnico Justificativo para Cambio de Uso de Suelo) for the Cerro Prieto project have previously been granted. Goldgroup’s Chairman and CEO, Keith Piggott, commented: “In commencing trial mining over the last three months we were restricted to bulldozer ripping. With the granting of the explosives permit, Goldgroup can now ramp up to full-scale mining at our Cerro Prieto heap leach mine. Additionally, the tertiary crusher has been commissioned which, because of a finer crush size, is expected to reduce the leach time for precious metals. We would like to thank our team and the officials in Sonora for their hard work in assisting us achieve these milestones. We now expect gold production to increase to a steady state as the heap leach pad builds.” The Company wishes to make clear that it is not basing its production decision on a preliminary economic assessment (a “PEA”) demonstrating the potential viability of mineral resources or a feasibility study of mineral reserves demonstrating economic and technical viability, and as a result there is increased uncertainty and multiple technical and economic risks of failure which are associated with this production decision. These risks, among others, include areas that are analyzed in more detail in a PEA or feasibility study, such as applying economic analysis to resources or reserves and more detailed metallurgy.
