Executive Summary

  • Sego Resources Inc. announced the discovery of a new copper porphyry system within the existing South Gold Zone target on its Miner Mountain project.
  • The discovery was made during recent drilling designed to infill gaps in previous exploration data, with three out of four holes in the South Gold Zone intersecting copper porphyry mineralization.
  • Drill hole DDH25-69 contained the most extensive mineralized copper porphyry environment, hosted in potassic-altered microdiorite, monzodiorite, and monzonite, with chalcopyrite mineralization identified via Niton XRF analysis.

Key Details

  • Discovery Location: Miner Mountain Project, specifically within the South Gold Zone target.
  • Drill Holes Intersecting Mineralization:
    • DDH25-66
    • DDH25-68
    • DDH25-69 (contained the most extensive mineralized copper porphyry environment)
  • Geological Host: Potassic (potassium feldspar) altered microdiorite and monzodiorite to monzonite, and less commonly volcaniclastic rocks (crystal tuffs, lapilli tuffs, ash tuffs).
  • Alteration Type: Potassic (K-feldspar) alteration, ranging from patchy to extensive in mineralized areas.
  • Mineralization: Chalcopyrite mostly within and around areas of potassium feldspar alteration.
  • Analytical Methods: Chalcopyrite tested using Niton XRF analyzer; assays pending.
  • Drilling Objective: Infill a gap in previous South Gold Zone drilling as per recommendations from SRK Consulting Canada.
  • Future Plans: Extensive follow-up drilling planned for the next program due to the nature of the discovery.
  • Other Operations: Drilling of a deep hole in the Cuba zone is continuing.
  • Qualified Person: Goran Markovic, MSc, PGeo, independent consulting geologist.

Notable Quotes

  • "Sego Resources is pleased to report that a new copper porphyry within the existing South gold zone target has been discovered in recent drilling."
  • "The new copper porphyry will be followed up with extensive drilling in the next program, given the nature of this discovery."
