| Vancouver, B.C. - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX.V:NEE)(OTCQX:NHVCF) ("Northern Vertex") is pleased to announce results from its phase II, 1200 meter drill program on the Copley Property, located the Nechako region of central British Columbia. States Northern Vertex Chief Geologist, Dr. Bob Thompson. "Results from drilling on Copley's Smoking Pipe target indicate that the 10 meter intersection grading 1.5 gpt gold in hole C6-01 is a lateral extension of the 33 meter intersection encountered during the 2011 phase 1 drill program that intersected 0.271 gpt gold in hole 01-04, including 5.6m averaging 0.68 gpt gold and 1.4m averaging 1.57 gpt gold. (See NEE News Release, March 2, 2011)." Dimensions of the zone are, at minimum, 150 m by 100m, remaining open to the south, west and north. The zone, which was encountered by 10 of the 12 holes drilled, dips to the west with gold values suggesting grades are increasing to the northeast. Equally encouraging to the gold values received, step out drilling encountered a significant volume of hydrothermal breccia, suggesting extreme fluid-vapor flow extending from the zone." The Company further reports the strengthening northeast mineralized trend, indicated from Phase II drilling, is on strike with a second exposed surface showing situated approximately 800 meters away from the Smoking Pipe target. Drilling follows results from previous exploration on Copley that demonstrated it is a large gold-bearing epithermal system measuring 7 km x 2 km wide within the 2,926 hectare property. The previous sampling program traced extensive areas of gold mineralization on surface, including one prospective area measuring 55m x 140m. 11 sample sites returned values greater than 1 gpt gold, including one at 14 gpt gold. 23 additional sites returned values between 0.05 and 1.0 gpt gold in only one of several gold-bearing zones identified thus far.
