Goldgroup to Acquire NGEx's Option to Earn a 70% Interest in the Caballo Blanco Gold Property


VANCOUVER, Nov. 25 /CNW-AsiaNet/ --


     Goldgroup Resources Inc. (the "Company" or "Goldgroup") is pleased to announce the Company has

entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with NGEx Resources Inc. ("NGEx"), the Lundin

Group's primary exploration company, to acquire NGEx's 70% earnable interest in the Caballo Blanco Gold

Project located in Mexico, for CDN$15 million, comprised of staged cash payments totaling $6 million and 9

million shares(the "Consideration Shares") of Goldgroup at a deemed price of $1.00 per share. Goldgroup is

seeking to complete a going public event which will

result in a listing of its shares. After the issuance of the Consideration

Shares, NGEx will own 19.6% of Goldgroup's issued shares. In addition, and

pursuant to the Agreement, NGEx will receive a 1.5% net smelter return royalty

and, upon the project reaching commercial production, shall receive a one-time

advance royalty payment in the amount of CDN$5.0 million.


     Goldgroup's seasoned management team believes Caballo Blanco has the

potential to fast track to production of approximately 75,000 ounces gold per

annum with relatively low cash cost of production. With Caballo Blanco and its

two other near-term production properties, El Porvenir and San Jose de Gracia,

Goldgroup is positioning itself as an aggressive player in the Mexican gold

arena.


     About Caballo Blanco


     Caballo Blanco is in the State of Veracruz, Mexico. The property was

optioned to Canadian Gold Hunter Corp., (now renamed NGEx), by Almaden

Minerals Ltd. The concession area is 15,000 hectares covering a large

mineralized system with a multitude of gold and gold-copper anomalies. It is a

short distance off the main highway, 70 kilometres north of Veracruz, one of

Mexico's principal ports. It is very accessible and has power, water and

infrastructure nearby.


     In the northern part of the concession there is a giant ring structure

approximately 3 kilometres in diameter, indicated by a magnetic anomaly, and

around this are five large silica caps forming 600-metre-high hills. One of

these is the La Paila anomaly, which is presently indicated to be

approximately 900 metres by 450 metres in size. NGEx has drilled 32 diamond

drill holes, the deepest being to a depth of 334 metres. The weathering

profile is deeper than this, as all 32 holes are oxidized.


     There is no official NI 43-101 resource yet for the Caballo Blanco

project but Goldgroup has commissioned Jim F. Cuttle, B.Sc., P. Geo. to

prepare a NI 43-101 compliant technical report. Initial drilling data

indicates significant gold mineralization. The diamond drill hole

intersections of gold are long, the longest being 216 metres (at) 0.6 g/t Au

and the highest being 94.5 metres (at) 2.09 g/t Au. The drill lines are

approximately 50 metres apart. Goldgroup management believes this deposit has

significant potential as it appears to be open on three sides. There is also

considerable exploration potential to increase ounces in the other four

anomalies of the northern ring structure as well as in numerous anomalies in

the concession area.
