suggesting an upright and intact porphyry
system with copper-gold mineralization
potential increasing at depth.
Imperial Metals Corp. [III-TSX;
IPMLF-OTC] is a 30% owner (Newcrest
Mining 70%) of the open pit Red Chris
copper-gold mine 80 km south of Dease
Lake, northern BC. Q3 2019 metal pro-
duction was 19.5 million lbs copper and
8,419 oz gold. These results represent
100% of Red Chris production. Copper
and gold production were up 11% in Q3
compared to the second quarter of 2019.
Mill throughput for the quarter averaged
30,568 tonnes per calendar day.
Sego Resources Inc. [SGZ-TSXV] has
spent over $4.6 million on the explora-
tion stage Miner Mountain Copper-Gold
Porphyry Project near Princeton, south-
west BC. The company recently reported
another drill target has been identified at
Miner Mountain. A re-evaluation of drill
core from the Cuba Zone identified a high-
grade porphyry with local zones of 1-2%
copper and 0.5 g/t gold that has been
pervasively overprinted by later grade-
destructive alteration. The porphyry is
open beneath the level of current drilling.
Sego CEO J. Paul Stevenson, said,
"Adding a high-grade target at the Cuba
Zone to the Empress, South Zone Gold-
Copper and Sovereign geochemical and
geophysical targets announced in mid-
October only adds to the discovery
potential at Miner Mountain."
Previously reported grades that show
the tenor of the mineralization include:
• DDH 12-21: 100 metres grading 0.95%
copper and 0.55 g/t gold
• DDH 12-26: 12.2 metres grading 1.16%
copper and 0.76 g/t gold
• PDH 11-94: 82 metres grading 1.01%
copper and 0.58 g/t gold
