Vancouver, B.C. - Northern Vertex Capital Inc. (TSX.V:NEE) ("Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce results from the final 20 holes of its 27,000 foot (8,300 meter) infill drill and resource definition program on the Moss Gold-Silver Project situated in the historic Oatman Mining district in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona.
Phase 1 drill results will be used in conjunction with the 305 historical holes previously drilled on the property between 1982 and 2008 to calculate an indicated resource that is NI 43-101 compliant.
States Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson. "We are very pleased and encouraged with current assay results. As was the case in the previous 38 holes of the program, assays continue to consistently meet or surpass historical drill results where 20 to 50 meter intervals of 1+ gram gold were reported. The numerous 20+ meter intersections of 1.5 -- 2.5 gpt values demonstrate the deposit has remarkably uniform gold distribution both along strike and down dip, while maintaining its strength to depth, creating the opportunity to mine at even greater depths than originally envisioned. We believe the phase 1 program has provided excellent data to allow calculation of a 43-101 compliant resource".
Northern Vertex reports Colorado-based engineering firm Scott Wilson Consulting Inc. is currently conducting an Independent 43-101 Resource Calculation on the Moss Gold-Silver Project. Results from the independent study are expected to be released imminently.
