Northern Vertex Mining Corp. Receives Two Key Safety Awards

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - July 29, 2014) - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NEE) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the award of two "Certificates of Achievement in Safety, 2013" by the United States Federal Department of Labor, Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) to its wholly owned Arizona subsidiary, Golden Vertex Corp. One certificate was awarded in the category "OPEN PIT GROUP-SMALL" and the second certificate in the category of METAL-NONMETAL MILL GROUP-LARGE.

Criteria for the awards include stipulations that the mining operations have not experienced a work injury that resulted in a fatality, permanent disability, days away from work, or days of restricted work activity; have a No Days Lost (NDL) injury incidence rate (degree 6) no greater than the national incidence rate and have accumulated at least 4,000 employee-hours during the calendar year. Golden Vertex Corp has had zero "Lost Time Accidents (LTA's)" since the inception of operations in October, 2012.

Dick Whittington, President & CEO, states: "We are proud of the achievements made by our staff at the Moss Mine and receiving these awards recognizes the high level of commitment by all employees to workplace safety and developing and fostering a culture of safety. The awards are a testament to the level of professionalism by the operating management, in particular, Safety Director David Kinsey. David has spearheaded a first class safety program that includes the development and implementation of an MSHA approved training plan, which includes the highest Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for all facets of the mining and processing operations. Of particular note is the fact that a high percentage of the employees reside locally and had no previous experience in mining or ore processing and who enthusiastically and speedily acquired the knowledge and skills to conduct the various operations safely and efficiently. Safety will remain the number one priority for the company as we seek to progress the company's development of a mine at the Company's earn-in Moss Mine Project".

The Company has granted a stock option, under the terms of its stock option plan, to an officer who is also a director of the Company which entitles him to purchase up to an aggregate of 100,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.30 per common share at any time until July 28, 2019.
