Northern Vertex Posts Record Production for Moss Mine in March
VANCOUVER, April 22, 2019 - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX.V: NEE) (OTC Nasdaq Intl.: NHVCF) (the "Company" or "Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce record production of 2,135 ounces of gold and 9,702 ounces of silver for the month of March from the Moss Gold Mine, located in Northwest Arizona.
Kenneth Berry, President and CEO, states: "We are pleased with the monthly incremental increases in gold and silver production that have been achieved at the Moss Mine. The production of 2,135 gold ounces set a new monthly record and we expect to realize new gold production highs as we continue to implement operational improvements."
New General Manager
We are pleased to appoint Joel Murphy as the Company's new General Manager at Moss. Mr. Murphy is a proven leader, who cultivates a collaborative team approach while implementing measurable goals. Joel brings years of experience in both operations and management from his previous tenure with Pegasus Gold. He progressed to President of U. S. Operations for Jipangu International Inc. and was General Manager of both the Florida Canyon and Standard Mines. During the past month Joel provided the direction to the operations team, resulting in changes to infrastructure and operating procedures which enabled an increase in solution flow onto the leach pad. The team expects additional increases in solution flow going forward, that should increase dissolution and positively impact the recovery of gold and silver from the heap.
