Sego Resources Announces MM-11-PDH-94 > 10,000 ppm copper over 26 metres 10,000 ppm = 1%

And Completion of Phase III Percussion Drilling.
New Zone Extended on Cuba IP Anomaly.

VANCOUVER, Jan. 3, 2012 /CNW/ - Sego Resources Inc. ("Sego" or the "Company") is pleased to report that it has recently received rock geochemistry from the Phase III percussion drilling program totalling 945 samples.  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.

Highlights of the extension include:

MM-11-PDH-94	1000 ppm copper = 0.1% copper	100 ppb gold = 0.1 grams/tonne gold
	>10,000 ppm copper  = >1% copper	1000 ppb gold = 1 grams/tonne gold

Rock geochemical results can be found on our website at www.segoresources.com. All samples over 1,000 ppm Copper have been sent for fire assay.  Hole averages will be released when fire assays are completed.

Phase III consisted of 25 percussion holes drilled on a 30 m x 30 m grid of 200 m x 150 m.

The Granby-Cuba Zone is 350 m x 1500 m and has been drilled on a 30 metre grid basis by the 102 percussion drill holes of Phases I, II, and III. The 2012 diamond drill program designed to test the zone at greater depth is expected to begin in mid-January.  Sego Resources is permitted for five years of exploration.

Sego Resources Inc.'s sole project is the Miner Mountain Project, a Copper Gold Porphyry project near Princeton, B.C., 15 kilometres north of Copper Mountain Mining Corporation's Copper Mountain Mine, now in production. The Miner Mountain Project is situated within the Traditional Territory of the Upper Similkameen Indian Band, with whom Sego has a Comprehensive Memorandum of Understanding.
