Vortex Energy Announces Plans for Ground Gravity Survey at the Robinsons

River Salt Project

Next Phase of Geophysical Work Advances Priority Targets Following August Technical Study

Vancouver, British Columbia, September 3, 2026 – Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE:

AA3) (“Vortex” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce plans to undertake a targeted ground gravity

survey at its 100% -owned Robinsons River Salt Project (the “Project”), located approximately 35

kilometres south of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. The survey has been selected as the

Company’s next geophysical program at the Project.

The program builds upon the technical study results announced by the Company on August 6, 2026. That

study integrated the available geological, drilling, seismic and gravity information and identified

differences and remaining uncertainty among the existing interpretations. The planned survey is intended

to address gaps in the existing gravity dataset and provide additional spatial control in selected priority

areas. The new data will be integrated with the Project’s existing drilling, legacy seismic, airborne gravity,

Ambient Noise Tomography and geological information to further refine the subsurface model and support

the ranking of potential future drill targets. Gravity is non -unique exploration method that directly

measures the target ore’s gravity field and cannot independently confirm the presence, composition,

thickness or continuity of salt.

“We are pleased to move forward with a ground gravity survey at Robinsons River,” said Paul Sparkes, Chief

Executive Officer of Vortex. “This work will build on the recent technical study and provide additional

information as we continue to evaluate and advance the Project’s priority exploration targets.”

The Company is finalizing the survey area, station spacing, budget, schedule and permitting requirements

and will provide further details once the program design has been completed.

on the Company’s current beliefs or assumptions as to the outcome and timing of such future events. In

particular, this press release contains forward -looking information relating to, among other things, the

Company’s exploration plans at the Project.

Various assumptions or factors are typically applied in drawing conclusions or making the forecasts or

projections set out in forward -looking information, including, in respect of the forward -looking

information included in this press release, assumptions regarding the Company’s ability to execute on its

exploration plans, including that it will be successful in carrying out the planned drilling and that such

drilling will yield the expected information and the desired outcomes.

Although forward -looking information is based on the reasonable assumptions of the Company’s

management, there can be no assurance that any forward-looking information will prove to be accurate.

Forward-looking information involves known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which

may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future

results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward -looking information. Such

factors include, among other things, the risk that exploration at the Project does not proceed in the

manner and on the timeline currently contemplated, or at all; risks inherent in the exploration and

development of mineral deposits, including risks relating to receiving requisite permits and approvals,

changes in project parameters or delays as plans continue to be redefined, that mineral exploration is

inherently uncertain and that the results of mineral exploration may not be indicative of the actual

geology or mineralization of a project; and that mineral exploration may be unsuccessful or fail to achieve

the results anticipated by the Company, including as a result of factors beyond the Company’s control,

such as geological conditions. The forward-looking information contained in this release is made as of the

date hereof, and the Company not obligated to update or revise any forward -looking information,
