Northern Vertex Resource Expansion Drilling Intersects 36.58 Meters Grading 1.46 g/t Gold and 35.10 g/t Silver, Highlighting Depth Potential at Moss Mine, Arizona

Rhea-AI Summary

Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (NHVCF) announced significant results from its drilling program at the Moss Mine in NW Arizona, targeting the Moss and Ruth veins. Notable findings include:

• 36.58 meters grading 1.46 g/t gold and 35.10 g/t silver from drillhole AR21-410C.
• 30.85 meters grading 1.65 g/t gold and 34.25 g/t silver from AR21-411C.
• 8.23 meters grading 3.22 g/t gold and 18.10 g/t silver from AR21-414C.

These results suggest robust mineralization potential at depths of 20 to 170 meters, supporting further resource expansion and exploration plans.

Positive

• Strong assay results indicate significant gold and silver mineralization, enhancing resource expansion prospects.
• Drilling supports the potential for resource expansion beyond the current mining operations.
• Company has permitted over 500 new drill sites for systematic exploration.

Negative

• None.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSXV: NEE) (USOTC: NHVCF) (the "Company" or "Northern Vertex") a Western U.S. gold producer with district-scale exploration projects in the Walker Lane Trend, is pleased to report recent results from its multi-phase infill and resource expansion drilling program at the Moss Mine in NW Arizona. Results for this release are focused on drilling targeting the Moss and Ruth veins and the intersection between these veins at depth below the Center and East pits of the producing Moss Mine.

Key Points:

• 36.58 meters grading 1.46 g/t gold and 35.10 g/t silver, including 15.24 meters grading 2.05 g/t gold and 52.38 g/t silver at the interpreted intersection between the Moss and Ruth veins in drillhole AR21-410C.
• 30.85 meters grading 1.65 g/t gold and 34.25 g/t silver, including 6.10 meters grading 3.83 g/t gold and 81.85 g/t silver for the Moss vein in drillhole AR21-411C.
• 8.23 meters grading 3.22 g/t gold and 18.10 g/t silver for the Ruth vein in drillhole AR21-414C.
• Drilling indicates the potential for significant mineralization at depths ranging between 20 meters to 170 meters below the current base of our deepest pit, with all drillholes in this area intersecting gold and silver mineralization.

Northern Vertex President, Michael G. Allen commented "We are currently only mining along 1,500 meters of the approximately 6,000 meters strike length of the Moss vein traceable on surface. All recent drilling results support our thesis that there is additional resource expansion potential along strike of, and at depth beneath, the Moss Mine. Additionally, our view is that the regional opportunity is also significant, which is why we permitted over 500 new drill sites and are methodically drilling the highest priority sites right now."

Northern Vertex Vice President of Exploration, Warwick S. Board commented, "The presence of high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the Moss and Ruth veins, and the intersection between them represents an exceptional opportunity for resource expansion at depth at the Moss mine, particularly in the highwall area between the Center and East pits. To this end, additional infill drilling targeting the veins and their intersection below the current mine has been planned and is in progress. We eagerly await the results from this drilling, which will be released in due course."

Geology of the Ruth-Moss Intersection Area

The Moss and Ruth veins are fault-hosted epithermal quartz-calcite veins with associated vein stockwork. The Moss vein strikes slightly north of east and dips to the south. Locally, the Moss vein develops a more northerly strike. The Ruth vein is sub-parallel to, and dips towards, the Moss vein. The two veins intersect at depths of between 180 meters and 230 meters below the current surface.

Drill Results

Assay results for ten diamond core and six Reverse Circulation (RC) drillholes drilled from four different locations are included in this news release (see Table 1). 

This tranche of drilling indicates the presence of significant mineralization in the Moss and Ruth veins, and the intersection between these veins beneath the existing mining operations, particularly in the highwall area between the Center and East pits (Figure 1 Moss-Ruth Intersection Drilling Area Location Map; Figure 2 Drillhole Location Map; Figure 3 Cross Section: Otto Load Site, Moss-Ruth Intersection Target Drilling Area).  Significant gold and silver mineralization was intersected at depths of between 20 meters and 170 meters below the current base of the Center pit, the deepest part of the current Moss Mine workings.

Note: Drillhole suffix 'C' denotes diamond core drillhole; 'R' denotes RC drillhole. True thickness ranges between approximately 50% for steeply north-inclined drillholes and 89% for drilling inclined at -45 degrees to the north targeting the Moss vein and Moss-Ruth intersection; and between 54% and 80%, respectively, for subvertical to -67 degrees inclined to the south drilling targeting the Ruth vein. Assay data are uncapped. AuEq = Au + Ag/75. Core drilling was conducted by Timberline Drilling Inc., RC drilling was conducted by Boart Longyear. RC samples, collected every 1.52 m, were transported in sealed bags to Skyline Assayers and Laboratories (Skyline) in Tucson, AZ. Field control QAQC samples, including standards, blanks, and field duplicates, were inserted into the sample stream at a rate of three field control samples approximately every 20 regular samples. Gold was determined by fire-assay fusion of a 30 g sub-samples with atomic absorption spectroscopy (method FA-01). Overlimit samples of gold were assayed by gravimetric means (FA-02). Skyline Laboratories is accredited in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015.
