Mineralization continues to the end of hole (EOH)
Diamond Drill Program Underway
Sego Resources Inc. (“Sego” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has received fire assays from the Phase III percussion drilling program. The new Copper-Gold zone identified in Phase II (see NR November 28, 2011) has been extended to the southeast by 125 metres and remains open to the W, E, NE, SE, and at depth. This extension is part of the Cuba Zone IP anomaly which is 350m x 1500m. Assays show a gradation from Copper-Gold, Gold-Copper to enriched Gold across the zone. Most holes intersected intensely albitically and propilitically altered volcanics and microdiorite of the Upper Triassic Nicola Group. Significant assays are shown below:

Phase III consisted of 25 percussion holes drilled on a 30 m x 30 m grid of 200 m x 150 m. PDH-11-94 is located 385 metres Southeast of PDH-09 and 123 metres Southeast of PDH-77.
The Granby-Cuba Zone is 350 m x 1500 m and is being drilled on a 30 metre grid basis. Thus far 102 percussion drill holes of Phases I, II, and III, totalling 7,280 metres have been completed.
