VANCOUVER, BC, Nov. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX: NEE) ("Northern Vertex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce record production of 14,673 gold equivalent ounces, record revenue of $26.8 million and record adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million for the quarter ended September 30 ("FY Q1 2021") from the Company's 100% owned Moss Gold Mine in NW Arizona. All figures are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted, non-IFRS metrics are described later in this press release and gold equivalent production is calculated at realized gold and silver prices for the quarter of $1,887 and $25.32, respectively.

Highlights for the Quarter ended September 30th

  • Record revenue of $26.8 million
  • Record adjusted EBITDA of $13.5 million
  • Record earnings from mine operations of $12.0 million before depreciation and depletion
  • Record gold equivalent production of 14,673 ounces
  • Record gold production of 13,083 ounces
  • Cash cost of $954/oz, including approximately $47/oz in one-time costs tied to the change of mining contractor
  • Moss Mine AISC of $1,317/oz which included $292/oz in capital expenditures tied to the construction of the powerline, exploration and a heap leach pad expansion.
  • Net loss of $18.5 million driven by non-cash derivative liabilities
  • Cash on hand of $12.1 million

Ken Berry, CEO of Northern Vertex stated: "Having financed and built the Moss Mine during a challenging market environment, it is a pleasure to share this quarter's record production and financial metrics as we fully participate in this strong gold market. Our record earnings from mine operations demonstrate the robust economics of the Moss Mine. The net loss this quarter is a result of the non-cash, $26.3 million mark-to-market accounting effect of our derivative liabilities, due to the strong performance of both our share price and the silver price this quarter. The Northern Vertex team continued to exceed expectations with numerous production records including the completion of key capital projects such as the powerline connection and west pit pioneering. Through an ambitious exploration program that is underway, we continue to see significant opportunity to expand the resource through the drill-bit, with the rapid advancement of the Phase I, 18,000-meter drill program.  With the success we have seen with Phase I exploration results, the Northern Vertex Board recently approved a 30,000 meter Phase II drill program, and Northern Vertex will be providing updates on the near-mine, infill and generative exploration results in the coming months."

Quarter ended September 30, 2020 - Operations
During the three months ended September 30, 2020 a total of 706,629 tonnes of ore was mined at a strip ratio of 2.15. The proportion of total ore being sourced from the east pit continues to increase as operations transition out of the center pit, while pioneering in the west pit is nearly completed.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020 a new processing record was established of 683,706 tonnes crushed at an average gold grade of 0.69g/t.  In addition, a record total of 13,083 Au ounces and 119,257 Ag ounces were produced.

Finally, the Moss team advanced numerous important capital projects during the quarter:

  1. Construction of a 6.9 mile power line, resulting in the mine being switched over to grid power from generator power with power costs moving from 31 cents per kilowatt hour to 8 cents per kilowatt hour,
  2. Construction and commissioned an Intermediate Leach System, which accelerates gold recoveries from the heap leach pad,
  3. 80% complete test work on increasing grind size, which could increase throughput rates and/or reduce costs,
  4. Pioneering the new west pit, which was more than 80% complete at September 30,
  5. Completed 35,000 feet of infill and exploration drilling, which is expected to lead to a resource update and revised mine plan.
