2.28% COPPER WITH 0.8 GRAMS/TONNE GOLD ON SEGO’S MINER MOUNTAIN PROJECT

Sego Resources Inc. has released assay results from a phase 2 2018 trenching program completed on Dec. 4, 2018, at the company’s Miner Mountain project. Sego is the owner (100 per cent) of the Miner Mountain project, an alkalic copper-gold porphyry exploration project located near Princeton, B.C.

In addition to drilling, Sego excavated 100 metres of trenching during the program and exposed a new important zone approximately 500 metres west of the known Cuba zone. This new zone was originally defined by combined soil and geophysical anomalies. The trenches exposed approximately 40 metres of copper mineralization, including malachite, azurite and chalcopyrite, with 26 metres of particularly elevated grade.

The elevated grades, including the two above detection level, were fire assayed last week and anticipated results have now been received from MSA Labs located in Langley, B.C. The two highest assays were: (i) 1.63 per cent copper, 0.24 gram per tonne gold; and 2.28 per cent copper, 0.8 gram per tonne gold (see attached table).

The phase 2 2018 drilling and trenching program was developed as the beginning of a much larger-scale exploration program designed to expand and enhance mineralization at Sego’s Miner Mountain project. The results of the recent trenching are being utilized by comparing geochemical and geophysical anomalies and alteration strengths on the newly discovered zone to determine future targets property wide. As a result of these data, several of Sego’s known targets have been upgraded to a much higher priority.

A mapping study by Dr. Ron Britten, PhD, PEng, has indicated that all of Sego’s target areas are a confluence of multiple overlapping features consistent with copper-gold alkaline porphyrys in British Columbia.

Diamond drill results of the phase 2 2018 program are pending and Sego expects to receive these assays within the next two weeks.

Paul Stevenson, chief executive officer, commented: “The fire assays from the previously announced elevated rock geochemistry are very exciting. The assays reveal 26 metres of an average grade of 0.7 per cent copper, 0.22 grams per tonne gold, including 18 metres of 0.96 per cent copper, 0.3 grams per tonne gold. We look forward to the further exploration of this zone and our other targets in the 2019 program.”
