Northern Vertex posted revenues of $27 million for the quarter ended September 30, also a record high. By quarter-end, it had $12.1 million in cash on hand.
The Moss mine is a low-cost, open-pit gold-silver operation located in northwest Arizona, approximately about an hour south of Las Vegas, Nevada. It contains an estimated 20.56 million tonnes of measured and indicated resources at 0.54 g/t Au for 360,000 ounces of contained gold.
Northern Vertex acquired the Moss property in 2011 and declared commercial production seven years later after completing a pilot plant test facility and a feasibility study.
The company is currently focused on completing a 60,000-foot exploration campaign that is expected to both unlock the high-grade Ruth vein and add “significant ounces” that can be exploited from its mining operations.
It is also running a 45,000-tonne bulk sample to assess the opportunity to dramatically expand throughput and drive down operating costs.
Shares of Northern Vertex Mining jumped 5.1% by 2 p.m. EDT Wednesday, giving the Vancouver-based gold producer a market value of C$155.9 million.
