Northern Vertex Intersects 9.14 Meters of 10.83 gpt Gold Equivalent Grade within a 24 Meters Intersection Averaging 4.9 gpt Gold Equivalent in Underground Channel Sampling Program at Moss Gold-Silver Project PR Newswire VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 16, 2012 VANCOUVER, British Columbia, August 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX.V:NEE) (OTCQX:NHVCF) is pleased to announce additional underground channel sample results from the Moss Gold- Silver project in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona.

States Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson, "These exceptional results demonstrate the potential for high-grade ore at Moss. A 24 m intersection of 4.9 gpt material provides excellent potential for higher grade averages and enhanced future profitability. When combined with results from the Allen Shaft-Office X-cut workings located 250 metres west, along strike of ththe deposit (NRs June26th and July 17 , 2012), an increasingly clear picture of grade consistency and continuity emerges."
