Start Digging Into (GORO) While It’s Still Early… October 12, 2026 Dear Reader, The gold sector has been building momentum for the better part of two years. And one name that ‘s on our radar this morning is Goldgroup Mining Inc. (NYSE American: GORO). Before getting into the company-specific details, the macro context is worth laying out. Central banks added to their reserves at an elevated pace throughout 2025. And in Q1 2026, that trend accelerated — sovereign purchases rose 35% quarter-over-quarter to 243 tonnes, according to Persistence Market Research. Gold itself has moved past $4,000 per ounce and held. According to Grand View Research, the global gold mining sector reached $260.86B in 2024 and is projected to reach $710.08B by 2033, representing a CAGR of 11.0%. The hard rock mining segment — where underground and open-pit producers operate — is expected to register a CAGR of 11.2% over the same period. Grand View Research further noted that a major growth driver is the scale of official gold reserves held by sovereign nations — when countries maintain large buffers, it guarantees lasting demand for newly mined output and strengthens the incentive for producers to keep expanding exploration and production. That’s the environment (GORO) is operating in right now. And the amount of activity this company has compressed into the past 90 days — a merger, a record US$122M financing, a strategic acquisition commitment, and high-grade drill results — is why (GORO) is topping our watchlist this morning — Monday, October 12, 2026. 
Not because of any single data point… But because of the convergence of several material developments — a transformational merger, a record capital raise, a strategic M&A commitment, and high-grade drill results — all occurring within a compressed 90-day window. The question worth asking is whether the market has fully processed the sum of these parts. Here's what the evidence shows. The Combined Company
On July 17, 2026, Goldgroup Mining Inc. (NYSE American: GORO) closed its combination with Gold Resource Corporation, creating a multi-asset precious-metals producer with four 100%-owned assets across Mexico and the United States. The combined portfolio now includes two producing mines, a formerly producing project under evaluation for restart, and an advanced-stage development asset. The Don David Gold Mine in Oaxaca is the flagship. It operates two underground mines — Arista and Alta Gracia — feeding into the El Aguila processing facility, which runs a nominal 1,800-tonne-per-day flotation circuit and a 300-tonne-per-day agitated-leach circuit. 
Ore from both mines is treated through the flotation circuit, producing separate copper, lead, and zinc concentrates containing payable gold and silver. The Arista system hosts several polymetallic intermediate-sulphidation epithermal vein systems — including Arista, Three Sisters-Gloria, and Switchback — with the Arista and Switchback systems each demonstrating strike extents exceeding 1.5 kilometres and remaining open along strike and at depth. Alta Gracia, the second underground mine at Don David, restarted on February 20, 2026, and is characterized predominantly by silver-gold epithermal mineralization with relatively minor base-metal content — a different style from the polymetallic Arista system but an important second source of mine feed. The second producing asset is the Cerro Prieto heap-leach mine in Sonora, in continuous production since 2013 and providing a stable operating platform while the company advances exploration along the broader mineralized trend. On a combined basis, the company reported 27,425 gold-equivalent ounces sold in the first half of 2026, with an average realized figure of $4,669 per ounce for H1 at Cerro Prieto. The remaining two assets — the San Francisco Gold Project in Sonora and the Back Forty VMS project in Michigan — represent the next phase of the growth pipeline, diversifying the company by geography and deposit type. The company's stated vision is to scale to 250,000 ounces… CEO Javier Reyes, unanimously appointed by the board following the combination, brings more than 25 years in natural resources and finance, with a track record in recapitalizations, strategic transactions, and corporate turnarounds. Capital Structure and Strategic Deployment
The financing activity since the merger deserves careful attention. On September 25, Goldgroup Mining Inc. (NYSE American: GORO) closed a US$122M non-brokered private placement — the largest in the company's history. 
That raise was originally targeted at US$75M and was subsequently upsized to US$125M after demand exceeded the initial target by more than 60%. Units were issued at US$3.65, each consisting of one common share and one-half warrant exercisable at US$5.10 for 18 months. Following the close, the company's cash balance stood at approximately US$166M… Three days later, Goldgroup committed US$75M to participate in Luca Mining's private placement, tied to Luca's acquisition of the Cozamin copper-silver mine in Zacatecas. Cozamin is an underground operation with approximately 20 years of continuous production and established paste-backfill and filtered-tailings systems. If completed, Goldgroup would hold approximately 19.9% of Luca's outstanding shares, with two board seats and anti-dilution protections. Post-commitment, (GORO) expects to retain roughly US$91M in cash — preserving capacity for both organic growth and additional M&A. As CEO Reyes noted following the financing: "Our priority now is disciplined execution. We intend to deploy this capital to support production growth, project advancement and carefully selected external openings." The share register composition reinforces the directional signal… Eric Sprott acquired 994,300 units at US$3.65 per unit during the placement, bringing his total holdings to 12,154,046 shares and 4,460,213 warrants — representing approximately 7.2% of outstanding shares on a non-diluted basis. That level of concentrated participation from a recognized sector figure is a data point worth weighing. Drill Programs and Near-Term Potential Catalysts
Two material drill programs are active, and both are generating results. At San Francisco, a 26,000-meter diamond drilling program is underway at the formerly producing open-pit operation in Sonora, with approximately US$8.5M budgeted. 
Assay results from the first six holes have been reported… GGD-178 returned 16.8 meters grading 4.36 g/t gold, including 10.9 meters at 6.34 g/t. GGD-174 returned 23.4 meters at 1.71 g/t gold, including 6.4 meters at 4.84 g/t. GGD-179 intersected 51.0 meters at 0.58 g/t gold, including 3.9 meters at 2.53 g/t — a broader interval that helps define the system's geometry and scale. A technical study is expected in Q4 2026, and a potential restart could follow as early as Q1 2027, pending results and a development decision. The company has already developed a plan for potential refurbishment of the crushing circuit and ADR plant… At Don David, a 34,250-meter drilling program is advancing across the Arista and Alta Gracia systems, with up to six rigs operating concurrently. The district spans 55,119 hectares along approximately 55 km of the San José structural corridor, hosting multiple epithermal vein systems ranging from precious-metal-rich low-sulfidation to polymetallic intermediate-sulfidation types. Regional targets at Margaritas and El Rey remain largely untested, offering district-scale discovery potential beyond the current producing footprint. Cut-and-fill mining methods have been implemented in selected narrow-vein areas to reduce dilution and improve run-of-mine grades, and new underground equipment has been acquired to replace aging fleet and improve availability. Processing infrastructure at El Aguila has been receiving systematic upgrades: Knelson gravity concentrators for free gold and silver recovery, a third ball mill adding 200 tpd of capacity, upgraded classification screens, and a third tailings filter press projected for commissioning in early Q4 2026. This existing infrastructure is a material advantage for (GORO) — exploration success can potentially convert to production within an established operating environment rather than requiring a new greenfield build. 7 Reasons Why We Have (GORO) Pulled Up Early This Morning—Monday, October 12, 2026…
1. Record Financing: after closing a US$122M non-brokered placement, GORO reported roughly US$166M in cash before its subsequent Luca commitment. 2. Expanded Portfolio: following the Gold Resource combination, GORO now controls four 100%-owned precious-metals assets across the U.S. and Mexico. 3. Active Production: with Don David and Cerro Prieto already producing, GORO reported 27,425 gold-equivalent ounces sold during H1 2026. 4. Strong Drill Results: early San Francisco drilling gave GORO intervals including 16.8 meters at 4.36 g/t gold and 10.9 meters at 6.34 g/t. 5. Restart Potential: with a technical study expected in Q4 2026, GORO could potentially restart San Francisco as early as Q1 2027 if results support development. 6. District Scale: across 55,119 hectares and roughly 55 km of structural corridor, GORO has multiple vein systems plus largely untested regional targets. 7. Built-In Infrastructure: existing El Aguila processing capacity and ongoing upgrades give GORO a pathway to potentially move new discoveries toward production without a greenfield build. Start Digging Into (GORO) While It’s Still Early… 
Taken together, these seven points give (GORO) several concrete areas to watch closely. The company has strengthened its balance sheet, expanded to four wholly owned precious-metals assets, maintained active production at Don David and Cerro Prieto, reported encouraging early results from San Francisco, and continues advancing both a potential restart and district-scale exploration. Add in the existing El Aguila processing infrastructure, and (GORO) has multiple moving parts that could shape the story over the coming quarters. We have all eyes on (GORO) this morning. Take a look at Goldgroup Mining Inc. (NYSE American: GORO) this morning before the bell rings. Also, keep a look out for my next update — it could be here any moment. Sincerely,
