Sego Resources Intercepts Porphyry-Related Phyllic Alteration at Cuba Zone, 1200 m Northeast of the Billy Zone Porphyry Copper Discovery Made in December 2025

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – February 2, 2026) – Sego Resources Inc. (TSXV: SGZ) (“Sego” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that a classic, porphyry-related phyllic alteration zone was intercepted in drill hole DDH25-71, that was drilled at company’s Cuba Zone (Figure 1), which is located 1200 meters northeast of the South Gold Zone, now part of a larger Billy Zone.

Drill hole DDH25-71 was based on earlier copper intercepts from drill holes DDH-MM-18-37 and DDH-MM-18-34. The purpose of this drill hole was to explore potentially deeper, structurally controlled porphyry copper mineralization.

Pyrite is present within the phyllic altered zone, being mostly fine and disseminated, with occasional stringers and veinlets.

Quartz stockwork was also observed locally (Figure 3).

Based on geological observations from this hole, the next Cuba zone drill hole can be drilled from the northeast, which could intercept the mineralized zone earlier.

Phyllic alteration is very important in the exploration for copper porphyry deposits, as it often defines a halo or a shell surrounding the central, potassic (K-feldspar/biotite) alteration zone.

Patchy potassic (K-feldspar) alteration was also intercepted, in the lowermost part of drill hole DDH25-71, starting at 542.93 m, and extending until the end of the drill hole at 586.64 m, gradually increasing in its size and intensity with increasing depth.

Below 577.68 m, and especially between 580.84 m and 586.64 m (end of drill hole, Figure 4), the core looks similar in its appearance (patchy potassic, K-feldspar alteration and brecciated nature) to the best mineralized intervals of MM-18-37 drill hole, which were also at the very end of drill hole MM-18-37, from 225 m to 233 m (final depth).

Magnetic susceptibility readings in drill hole DDH25-71 made a very sharp, big increase at 560 m, compared to earlier readings. All magnetic susceptibility readings from 560 m to 588 m (measured at every meter) were high to very high.

Core logging has been completed, with ongoing core cutting and samples being prepared for shipping to the lab in Calgary.
