Northern Vertex Mining Corp. on Dec. 22 said it placed an order to purchase a three-stage crushing plant for its Moss gold-silver project in Arizona.

The plant consists of a primary jaw crusher, a secondary cone crusher and two tertiary cone crushers.

President and CEO Kenneth Berry said the purchase will enable the company to reactivate the Moss mine.

The company signed a US$20.0 million senior secured credit facility in November to advance the project to commercial production.
