Sego Has Mobilized Drill and Team to Miner Mountain
MWN-AI** Summary
Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) has mobilized its diamond drill and field team to the Miner Mountain Alkalic Copper-Gold project in British Columbia, marking the commencement of a significant drilling program. The team is currently preparing drill pads ahead of an anticipated drilling total of approximately 1,000 meters. The Miner Mountain project features two key mineral zones: the South Gold Zone, known for its near-surface bulk mineable gold, and the Cuba Zone, which contains deeper porphyry structural copper-gold mineralization.
In the South Gold Zone, previous drill intersections showed promising results, including a maximum of 1.08 grams per tonne (gpt) of gold over an impressive 88 meters. The mineralized area measures about 285 meters long and 145 meters wide, with a depth of roughly 70 meters. Current assessments indicate a potential for 90,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold based on reviews from SRK Canada Consulting. The upcoming drill program aims to bridge an 80-meter gap between sections to enhance the classification of gold resources into the National Instrument 43-101 "possible" category.
Meanwhile, the Cuba Zone, located 1,700 meters northeast of the South Gold Zone, will be the focus of deeper exploration drills targeting depths of around 500 meters below previously encountered copper porphyry. The drilling plans will also analyze platinum group metals, enhancing the project's mineral diversity.
Sego holds full ownership of the 2,056-hectare Miner Mountain Project, situated north of the Copper Mountain Mine, and has established a Memorandum of Understanding with the Upper Similkameen Indian Band, emphasizing its commitment to responsible and sustainable mining practices.
MWN-AI** Analysis
Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) is poised for an intriguing phase as it mobilizes its drilling team at the promising Miner Mountain project. With the anticipated drilling of approximately 1,000 meters across two distinct zones—South Gold and Cuba—investors should closely monitor developments for potential impacts on the company's valuation.
The South Gold Zone, showcasing a target range of 90,000 to 150,000 ounces of near-surface gold, presents significant upside potential. The drilling program aims to confirm the continuity of existing mineralization, addressing an 80-meter gap that could elevate the zone into the NI 43-101 "possible" resource category. The previous drill intersections demonstrating up to 1.08 gpt gold over 88 meters highlight the area's attractiveness. Additionally, the exploration of a non-cyanide leaching process indicates a focus not just on efficiency but also environmental considerations—a factor increasingly important to today’s investors.
On the other hand, exploration in the deeper Cuba Zone indicates the company is not just betting on gold. The ongoing analysis of copper and potential platinum group metals adds a diversified revenue angle, which is essential in a commodities market often fluctuating with geopolitical and economic conditions. Historical drill results show promising intervals of copper and gold mineralization, suggesting that successful drilling could have a transformative impact on Sego's resource estimates.
From a market perspective, Sego’s current valuation reflects future growth potential, but it also carries inherent risks typical of exploration-stage companies. Investors should assess their risk tolerance and keep abreast of drill results as they become available. Positive outcomes in this phase not only enhance resource estimates but could also improve market sentiment and share price performance. Caution is advised, however, as actual results could vary significantly from projections.

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 12, 2025) - Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) ("Sego" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the diamond drill and field team have arrived at the Miner Mountain Alkalic Copper-Gold and Gold project. The team is now preparing drill pads in advance of the driller's arrival. A total of ~1000 m drilling is anticipated.
Alkalic Porphyry Copper-Gold mineralization that occurs at Miner Mountain encompasses a disseminated, near-surface bulk mineable disseminated gold mineralization in the South Gold Zone and deeper porphyry structural controlled copper-gold mineralization in the Cuba Zone.
Drill intersections of the South Gold Zone range to maximum 1.08 gpt gold over 88.0 m and occur within a mineralized oval zone measuring 285 m long, a maximum 145 m wide and vertical depth of ~70 m (Figure 1).
Program – South Gold Zone
The South Gold Zone status is currently viewed as a "Target Reviewed" 90,000 to 150,000 ounces of gold in near surface mineralization, based on the 2024 SRK Canada Consulting review (Sego News Release September 24, 2024).
Four holes that total ~470 metres are planned to confirm the continuity of gold mineralization in the 80 m gap between sections on the attached map of the South Gold Zone, collect specific gravity measurements of drill core and elevate the Gold Zone into an NI 43-101 resource "possible" category (Figure 1, collars A to D).
A non-cyanide based leaching process of South Gold Zone samples will be tested to confirm a preliminary bench scale cyanide test which returned gold recoveries of 95% completed in 2021 (News Release, August 11, 2021) and to also improve the economic and environmental benefits of this new process.

Program – Cuba Zone
Deep drill holes are planned in the Cuba Zone located 1,700 m northeast of the South Gold Zone.
A diamond drill hole will explore ~500 m depths below a +1% copper porphyry intersection shown in a long section in Figure 2.
Drill hole 37 carried 4.4 m of 1.2% copper and 0.24 gpt gold within a wider 11 m interval containing 0.6% copper, 0.12 gpt gold mineralization at the final depth of 233 m (News Release February 28, 2019).
In addition, platinum group metals will be analyzed in zones of new mineralization which are indicated in 0.13 gpt palladium over 2 m in drill hole 37 (News Release October 24, 2023).
