New Targets Identified For Exploration At Hercules Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. announced highlights of a recent airborne geophysical survey at its Hercules Gold Project in Lyon County, Nevada. Survey Highlights: Identified at least 45 new targets for follow-up exploration; Highlighted the structural framework of the Hercules property, providing support for the Company's district-scale geological model; Indicated the presence of an extensive and open-ended thirteen kilometers long by six kilometers wide alteration zone trending northwest-southeast across the property that is coincident with known mineralization; and Data to-date suggests that mineralization is controlled by the intersection of generally northerly trending structures and the broad alteration zone.

Michael G. Allen, President, said, "From the first time we set foot on the property we knew there was significant potential, and after expanding the property to more than 100 square kilometers we see that investment validated and with very strong support of our premise that there were multiple potential discoveries to be made at Hercules. After a detailed review of this new geophysical data, along with other recently acquired data sets, we see confirmation of many previous assumptions underpinning our understanding of the structures bearing gold and silver mineralization."

Recent drilling by the Company highlighted the potential of the Hercules Gold Property with 30.48 meters grading 1.63 g/t gold and 18.27 g/t silver as well as 39.62 meters grading 1.12 g/t gold and 5.38 g/t silver.
