Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSXV:NEE) reported assays received to date from its 15-hole, 2,527 meter exploration diamond drilling program on the Moss Mine project in Mohave County, NW Arizona. All holes were drilled on patented claims as part of the Mine Exploration Program.
As quoted in the press release:
Drill holes AR-204, 205, 211 and 212 were drilled in the western section of the deposit known as the Western Extension. The holes tested near surface quartz-carbonate stockwork zones that were open to the south of the evaluated mineral resource. Multiple zones of stockwork veining were encountered in AR-204, 205 and 211 all within a maximum depth of 150 meters from the surface. The results substantiate the potential of the widespread stockwork mineralization to continue to the south beyond the current limit of the mineral resource estimate.
The other eleven exploration drill holes were drilled in the central and eastern part of the Moss deposit. Eight of the holes were deep tests of the down dip extension of the Moss mineralized zone. The results from AR-195, 197, 199, 200 and 206 demonstrate that the strong development of quartz-carbonate veins, breccias and stockworks continue at depth to at least 200 meters vertically from surface. In addition, two shallow holes (AR-198 and 207) tested the Moss mineralization on two sections containing relatively widely-spaced drill holes. AR-198 cut a nearly 20 meter wide zone of mineralized veining while assays are awaited for the 3.2 meter quartz vein encountered in AR-207.
