Northern Vertex Drilling Hits 1.08 gpt Gold Eqv Over 29.57 Meters and 4.04 gpt Gold Eqv Over 5.6 Meters in Western Extension of Moss Gold-Silver Project
VANCOUVER, March 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX.V:NEE) (OTCQX: NHVCF) ("Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce results from the first 4 diamond drill holes as part of a Phase II, 20,000 foot (6500 meter) infill-drill and resource expansion program to test the western extension of the Moss stockwork Gold-Silver vein system in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona.
States Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson, "We are very pleased with results from the first 4 core holes from our Phase II program at Moss. Significantly, the positive gold-silver grades and intervals encountered in all 4 holes average substantially above internal cut-off grades, in an elevated ridge where little or no stripping is required. These factors indicate potential to add significant tonnage to Moss's already established NI 43-101 gold-silver resource. Moreover, we are equally encouraged to report results demonstrate the gold and silver-bearing system is widening to the west."
To date, the Company has completed a total of 22 holes of its current Phase II in-fill drill and resource expansion program on the Moss Gold-Silver project. Included in the total are 18 RC (reverse circulation) drill holes and 4 diamond drill holes. The Company reports the first 4, of several planned upcoming diamond drill holes, which represent the second segment of the phase II program, were conducted utilizing a specialized core-drilling rig to address the steeper terrain of Moss's western extension.
