Secova Commences Phase 1 Drilling Program at the Duvay/Chenier

VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - Jul 19, 2017) - Secova Metals Corp. ("Secova" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: SEK) (FRANKFURT: N4UN) (OTC: SEKZF) is pleased to announce that drill permits have all been received, and now commences the Company's first drill program on the Duvay/Chenier Property (the "Property"), located 15 kms northeast of Amos, Quebec. 

The Duvay/Chenier Project covers nearly 8,000 hectares, including more than a dozen historical gold showings. The most advanced of the showings are at Duvay, where more than 350 drill holes, a 96 m mine shaft, 275 m of underground workings, and more than 3,200 tonnes of bulk sampling has been reported since discovery in the 1930's, as described in numerous assessment reports filed with the Quebec government. Gold occurs at Duvay in locally rich surface samples and drill intervals (e.g. 402 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 0.36 m, 76.8 g/t gold over 0.46 m, 83.194 g/t gold over 1.0 m and 27.17 g/t gold over 1.14 m) along a regionally significant shear zone (the Duvay main shear) that extends for 2 km to the northwest to Lake Obalski, and for 4 km to the southeast to the Standard Gold Mine shaft (off the Property). 

Secova's Chairman and CEO Mr. Brad Kitchen commented, "The Company has worked hard to build the first 3D model of the Duvay gold mineralization that incorporates the extensive historic information and new exploration data. From this 3D model, we have now developed a systematic and robust exploration plan that takes into consideration all the various aspects of Duvay. Phase 1 will consist primarily of drilling identified zones of mineralization and various structural anomalies. Concurrent with this drilling, data from new ground and airborne exploration will enable Phase 2 to commence almost immediately after completion of this first drill program."

1) Known gold bearing structures and quartz veins at the Duvay Zone Principal

A majority of the richest gold intervals intercepted historically at Duvay are hosted in quartz veins associated with the northeast trending faults extending from the main shear. These historic results include the drill intersection of 83.194 g/t gold over 1.0 m (50.0 to 51.0 m depth) comprising visible gold from a sub-horizontal quartz vein 0.5 m thick. These gold occurrences associated with northeast trending faults and their host quartz veins will be the target of drilling within the Duvay Zone Principal. Phase 1 Plan: 10 drill holes for 1250 m total.
