Sego Resources Locates Multiple Deep IP Targets Identified Beneath Both the Cuba Copper Gold Zone and the South Gold Zone
Sego Resources Locates Multiple Deep IP
Targets Identified Beneath Both the Cuba
Copper Gold Zone and the South Gold Zone
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 24, 2026) - Sego Resources Inc.
(TSXV:
SGZ)
("Sego" or "the Company") is delighted to announce the completion of a 5 lines 3D IP Volterra
diamond array program by SJ Geophysics Ltd.
The analysis and 3 D inversion of the data has revealed deep IP chargeability targets beneath the known
mineralization at both the Cuba and southeast the South Gold Zone (Figure 1).

These chargeability anomalies are one of the key targets of the upcoming, fully financed, fall-winter
drilling exploration campaign. The Company anticipates drilling to begin mid-October 2026.
The exploration team, with inputs from SJ Geophysics Ltd., has now developed a new 3D model
containing the IP chargeability and resistivity, all the past diamond drill holes completed by the Company,
with geology and mineralization.
The 2013 magnetic survey will be incorporated in the 3D model prior to the drilling start up.
When the magnetic survey has been incorporated in the 3D model the Company will finalize drill hole
collars, azimuth, dip and lengths.
Sego plans to make maps and targets available on our website in October.
Highlights
Cuba Zone
Based on the current deposit modelling the Cuba Zone is thought to be the upper extensions or
expression of a deeper alkaline porphyry copper system similar to Copper Mountain alkaline porphyry
copper deposit, Britten et al. 2020
[1]
.
The Cuba zone is a structurally controlled northwest to southeast copper gold silver mineralization trend
of up to 300 m by 600.
With past drill hole intersects including:
100 m of 0.95% Cu and 0.55 g/t Au in DDH 12-21
105 m of 0.31% Cu and 0.08 g/t Au in DDH 17-30
64m of 0.46% Cu and 0.14 g/t Au in DDH 08-04.
A high chargeability IP anomaly was identified by the 3D model to underlie known mineralization in the
Cuba Zone from 400 m below surface to the maximum survey depth of 500 m below surface.
The
chargeability was increasing in size and strength with depth to a large east-west chargeability
approximately 200m by 500 m (Figure 2).
Figure 2 IP Chargeability Level 500 m below surface
Deep drilling in DDH 71 intersected wide zones of phyllic and potassic alteration at depth (News
Release February 2, 2026) which the 3D model has shown to be in the vicinity of the deep and large IP
chargeability anomaly.
The current drill program is designed to intersect the deep IP chargeability anomaly at about 450 m's
depth to confirm if it is part of the main porphyry copper mineralization system.

South Gold Zone
During fall 2025 diamond drilling program, drill logging noted chalcopyrite visible along some fractures
and in occasional clots in DDH-MM-26-66, 68 and 69 (News Release, December 19, 2025).
This sulfide mineralization was associated with patchy to moderate potassic alteration, which has been
over printed by later chlorite, sericite pyrite alteration.
The sulfide mineralization is hosted in a series of
faulted and brecciated monzodiorite, microdiorite and diorite intrusives.
Several 1 metre intervals were identified within the altered core with chalcopyrite were anomalous for
copper and
ranged from 0.1% (1,000 ppm) copper
to 0.2% (2,000 ppm) copper
is associated with gold
and silver mineralization.
The 3D IP Volterra survey identified a chargeability anomaly extending from approximately 120 m in the
north towards approximately 450 m in the southeast that appear as a semi-circle to the north, east and
south of the Southern Gold Zone at approximately 300m below surface (Figure 3).

This chargeability anomaly could be related to deeper alkaline porphyry copper-gold mineralization.
Quality Assurance / Quality Control
Control samples comprising certified reference samples, duplicates, and blank samples are
systematically inserted into the sample stream and analyzed as part of the Company's quality assurance
/ quality control protocol for the fall-winter drilling exploration program.
The Company also regularly sends
for check assays to another laboratory as part of the quality assurance and quality control protocol.

About the Project:
Sego is 100% owner of the Miner Mountain project, an alkalic copper-gold porphyry exploration project
near Princeton, British Columbia. The Miner Mountain Project combines alkalic porphyry copper-gold
mineralization in the Cuba Zone and the elevated gold with variable copper content mineralization in the
Southern Gold Zone (considered a distal alkalic copper-gold porphyry mineralization). The property is
2,056 hectares in size and is located 15 kilometres north of the Copper Mountain Mine operated by
Hudbay Minerals Inc. Sego has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Upper Similkameen Indian
Band on whose Traditional Territory the Miner Mountain project is situated. Sego has received an Award
of Excellence for its reclamation work at Miner Mountain.
