Northern Vertex Announces Phase 1 Drilling Program Intercepts 45.72 Meters Grading 1.97 gpt Gold Eqv; Including 9.14 Meters Grading 5.74 gpt Gold Eqv

VANCOUVER, June 22, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Northern Vertex Capital Inc. (TSXV: NEE) ("Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce results from 6 holes (10 through 15) of its 27,000 feet drilling program on the Moss Gold-Silver Project situated in the historic Oatman Mining district in Mohave County, Northwestern Arizona.

The Company reports results received from holes 10 through 15 demonstrate the thicknesses and grades encountered are compatible with and build on historical drill results (Table) where 30 to 50 m intervals of 1+ gram gold were reported. The current drill results are consistent with and build on results reported May 19^th for the first 9 holes of the phase 1 program.

Stated Northern Vertex Chief Geologist Dr. Bob Thompson, "We are very pleased with our current assay results. We continue to meet or surpass the objective of our program, which is to verify, build on and extend the limits of previously established precious metal mineralization delineated across Moss's 5,000ft mineralized system. The consistency of results amongst the first 15 drill holes suggests mineralization is both widespread and dependable."

Phase 1 drill results will be used in conjunction with the 305 historical holes previously drilled on the property between 1982-2008, to calculate a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

* AuEq (gpt) = Au (gpt) + 1/40th Ag (gpt)        
* Estimated True Width calculated using 70 degree dip to zones of mineralization, it ranges from 34 to 91%;
* opt = troy ounces / short ton 
*gpt = grams / metric tonne
