Hercules Gold Project Surface Exploration Identifies Four New Target Areas

VANCOUVER - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. reported on its 100 square kilometer Hercules Gold Project in western Nevada. Integration of recent and historic surface mapping, sampling, drilling, and property-scale geophysical survey data has resulted in the generation of four new verified gold target areas on the property, as well as indicated the potential for links between existing targets.

President, Michael G. Allen, said, "We continue to advance the Hercules Project using both traditional and innovative exploration techniques.  The results that we have received continue to show that the Hercules Gold Project has the potential to be a significant new discovery in Nevada, and we look forward to drilling on new and expanded targets on the Project."

Four new exploration target areas, Ursa, Como Ridge, Hades, and Jurassic Park have been identified. A sample from the eastern parts of the Hercules exploration target area returned 72.40 g/t gold and 2,690 g/t silver, making it the highest-grade surface rock sample collected on the property to date. Ongoing surface exploration continues to identify and further delineate structure-hosted epithermal precious metal mineralization in multiple areas, highlighting the exploration potential of the broader Hercules property. Results obtained from sagebrush phytogeochemical line sampling conducted over target areas in the north of the property indicate that they may be linked into one large mineralized system. Notice of Intent (NOI) permits have been received for drilling the Sirens and Como-Comets target areas. Exploration target area prioritization is ongoing ahead of the anticipated Q3/2021 receipt of an Exploration Area Plan-of-Operations (PoO) permit, which allows for more flexibility in drillhole location, including parts of the new Jurassic Park target, with exploration drilling being planned for Q4/2021.
