Sego Resources Receives Permit to Work Until August 24, 2029
2023 Drill Program Proposed
Vancouver, March 28, 2023 - Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) ("Sego" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the company has received a new five-year multi-area exploration permit valid to August 24, 2029 and 2023 programs plans for the Miner Mountain Project, near Princeton, BC. Please note this news release with Figures 1 and 2 and an updated Corporate Presentation with accompanying maps, tables and other details are found on Sego's website home page (www.segoresources.com).
The 2023 drill program will commence in the Southern Gold Zone with several short drill holes located on an 80 metre interval between and parallel to previously mineralized drilled sections. These new results will be required to confirm the grade and widths of the Southern Gold Zone in this area and to complete a maiden resource calculation of the Southern Gold Zone.
Based on geology, soil, and chargeability anomalies, as well as sporadic copper mineralization known to the northeast of the Southern Gold Zone, Sego Resources plans to drill for potential copper-gold porphyry mineralization north of the Southern Gold Zone. Recent case studies have shown that lateral and higher gold zones can be found above deeper porphyry copper-gold mineralization, as seen in the New Afton deposit. Figure 1 illustrates the analogue being used to target this mineralization.

Sego also intends to explore below the Cuba Zone (as shown in Figure 2) as well as the Granby and Quintana Zones to the north. Shallow-dipping faults have truncated and offset deeper copper-gold mineralization in these zones particularly the Cuba Zone. To evaluate the deeper potential of these zones, long drill holes will be necessary.

Prior to the onset of the 2023 drill program the current Archeological Review will be extended and updated. Concurrent with this review, data from polished drill core thin sections from the Southern Gold Zone will be evaluated to help guide deep drill exploration.
Sego Resources anticipates a start date of mid to late April for this work.
