Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX.V:NEE) (OTCQX:NHVCF) is pleased to announce initial results from underground sampling of historic workings at the Moss Gold-Silver project in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona. Channel samples were taken at 5-foot intervals across the 'back' (roof) of drifts and cross-cuts on the minus 60 level in the vicinity of the property's Allen Shaft.
States Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson, "We are very pleased with initial assay results from the sampling program. The underground workings observed at Moss are far more extensive than originally anticipated. Current results are consistent with and support our previous phase I and phase II drill results which showed 1.5+ gpt gold equivalent grades extending across the Moss Gold-Silver system. The Main Drift East averaged 4.73 gpt gold eqv over 6.1 m and stopped in 7.58 gpt gold eqv mineralization. We expect these consistent and continuous high-grades encountered underground will play a significant role in further boosting the size and grade of our established Gold-Silver resource as we continue our resource expansion program underground and to the west of the Moss Gold-Silver system."
