In January, the company reported results from 2 holes drilled in 2017. Hole 17-29 returned 21 metres of 1.17% copper, 0.30 grams per tonne gold and 4 grams per tonne silver between 14 metres and 35 metres in depth. Hole 17-30 returned 105 metres of 0.31% copper, 0.08 grams per tonne gold and 2.29 grams per tonne silver between 167 metres and 185 metres in depth.
J. Paul Stevenson, CEO, stated: "Sego's recent drilling at the Cuba Zone of Miner Mountain has returned copper, gold & silver grades that indicate the continuation of mineralization in this project area. We are excited by the new drill results because they show strong copper and gold mineralization was intersected in multiple zones at depth. The results also indicate a new area of alteration, including potassic alteration, which we will explore further in 2018."
