Vortex Announces Preliminary Interpretation of Geophysics Survey on Illapel Copper Project
Vortex Announces Preliminary Interpretation
of Geophysics Survey on Illapel Copper
Project
Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2026) - Vortex Metals Inc. (TSXV: VMS)
(FSE: DM8) (OTCQB: VMSSF) ("Vortex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has
completed a large (180 SqKm), detailed helicopter airborne geophysical survey over its Illapel copper-
silver project in Choapa province of the Coquimbo Region (Region IV) of nothern Chile and has received
the final report from the survey. The survey was designed to define geology, alteration and structure over
the entire concession-area, and will be fundamental in the definition of targets for detailed follow-up by
geophysics and drilling.
Survey parameters comprise detailed, high-resolution helicopter magnetic, VLF and Gamma-ray
spectrometry at one hundred metre line-spacing for a total of 2,000 line-km. The highly respected
geophysical contractor, New-Sense Geophysics Ltd., has completed compilation and processing of all
data, and has delivered these products to Vortex Metals.
Vortex is now in the process of interpreting these data with in-house geological and geophysical
personnel. While the interpretation is in initial stages, it is already clear that known mineralization is
associated with well-defined areas of magnetic lows, and that favourable structures may be identified
extending under cover. Given the presence of high-grade copper and silver mineralization at the Rio 27
mine within the concession area, Vortex believes that new targets identified by the geophysics will be
highly prospective for high-grade, manto-style mineralization.
