TSX-V: SGZ

VANCOUVER , Dec. 16 /CNW/ - Sego Resources Inc. has initiated its drilling program on Miner Mountain near Princeton, BC.

Sego has started the drilling in the Granby Zone where two drill holes, DDH-MM-08-04 (24.46 to 88.7m, (64.24 m) 0.46% Cu, 0.14 G/T Au and 2.58 G/T Ag) and DDH-MM-08-09 (26.17 to 78.64 (52.47 m) 0.41% Cu, 0.12 G/T Au and 2.11 G/T Ag), bottomed in over 1% copper. These holes were announced previously in a News Release dated November 18, 2008 . The purpose of the current hole is to ground truth the IP anomaly (Quantec Titan 24) and extend the mineralization. This hole has been completed and was stopped at 788 feet (240 metres).

The second hole and, time permitting before the Christmas break, a third hole, will be drilled in the South Zone where well mineralized breccia has been located by trenching (see News Release dated October 26, 2009 ). As with the Granby Zone these holes will be drilled to extend mineralization and ground truth the IP anomaly (Quantec Titan 24) known as the "Crankshaft Anomaly".

Drilling will continue in the New Year.
