Vancouver, B.C. - Northern Vertex Capital Inc. (TSX.V:NEE) ("Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce results from an additional three holes of its 27,000 foot (8,300 meter) drilling program on the Moss Gold-Silver Project situated in the historic Oatman Mining district in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona.

The Company reports drill results from three holes distributed along the strike of the Moss deposit from near the eastern limit of drilling (AR-86), westward 500m. "We continue to be very pleased with both intersection widths and grades" states Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson, "hole AR-86R returned a 41+ m intersection grading 1.37 gpt gold equivalent (ref. table below) supporting the understanding that the Moss Deposit is a strong and consistent system to the east; the 4.5 m intersection of 6.9 gpt gold equivalent shows that high-grade zones continue to be present to the eastern limit of the system."

Holes AR-90R and AR-99R are located 400 m and 500 m west of AR-86R, respectively, near the outcrop limit of the stockwork system. "The 10+ m intersection grading 3.49 gpt gold equivalent (AR-90R) and 27 m intersection grading 1.91 gpt gold equivalent (AR-99R) including a 9+ m interval of 4+ gpt gold equivalent further demonstrate the consistency of the Moss gold-silver system along strike" says Thompson.

The Company additionally reports a new, precise, topographic base for the property was recently delivered by contract. Detailed topographic control is necessary when planning future drill programs, for plotting cross section results, and for engineering activities including pit design.

Assays received from holes 86, 90 and 99 further validate and build on results reported May 19th, June 22nd , July 21st, August 16th, and August 24th 2011 for the first 34 holes of the phase 1 program.

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.

The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed Dr. Bob Thompson, PhD P.Eng (a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects).
