VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Aug. 28, 2013) - Northern Vertex Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NEE) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that, further to the Company's news release on July 10th, it will be proceeding with a Private Placement equity financing (the "Private Placement") of approximately 7.7 million units (each "Unit") at a purchase price of $0.65 per Unit, for aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $5,000,000.

Each Unit consists of one common share ("Common Share") of the Company and one-half of one transferable share purchase warrant ("Warrant"). Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.90 for a period of 18 months from the closing date of the Private Placement. The expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated, at the sole option of the Company, to 30 business days following the date on which the Company gives notice that its common shares have closed for 21 consecutive trading days at a price of $1.40 or greater. Cash finders' fees within TSX Venture policy guidelines will be paid on a portion of the Private Placement. Completion of the Private Placement is targeted for early September, 2013.

Due to investor interest it is possible the Company will upsize the placement by up to a further 2 million Units. Any upsizing must occur within 30 days and will be disclosed in a subsequent news release.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering for the advancement of the Moss project, including the completion of a feasibility study and general corporate purposes. The Private Placement as well as any upsizing is subject to acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities issued will be subject to a four month hold period. The Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including, without limitation, receipt of all regulatory approvals. As a consequence of this financing the Company will not be proceeding in the near term with the previously announced prospectus offering but reserves the right to reinstate that offering at any time and intends to file a shelf prospectus to facilitate a possible future offering by prospectus supplement.

The securities being offered have not been, nor will they be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons absent U.S. federal and state registration or an applicable exemption from the U.S. registration requirements.
