Target man Oliver (23) joined Stags on loan from Crewe last October and ended up joint Stags top scorer with seven goals.
He began his career with Sheffield Wednesday from 2002 before leaving a decade later and joining Conference side Lincoln City. There he netted 13 goals in 43 appearances, which saw League One Crewe pay an undisclosed fee for his services at the end of the season.
Oliver then spent two years at Gresty Road, making a total of 42 appearances.
Earlier today Stags announced that Liam Hearn has left to join Lincoln City while Rakish Bingham had gone to Hartlepool United.
