VANCOUVER, BC, June 10, 2021 /CNW/ - 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.
