Goldgroup Provides a Legal Update
Goldgroup Provides a Legal Update
VANCOUVER
,
Sept. 22, 2017
/CNW/ - Goldgroup Mining Inc. ("Goldgroup" or the "Company") (TSX:GGA, OTC:GGAZF, BMV SIX:GGAN.MX) would like to
provide a legal update in regards to DynaResource, Inc.'s ("DynaUSA") 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.
"We remain confident in our position and expect that we will get favorable resolution in all current legal proceedings and regain control of
San Jose de Gracia
,"
said
Keith Piggott
, Chairman, President and CEO of Goldgroup, "We'll continue to work towards the enforcement of the favorable results and award from the
conclusion of the arbitration between Goldgroup and Dyna
USA
" (see press release on
August 31, 2016
).
