Vortex Energy Engages Lonquist to Manage Ground Gravity Survey at the

Robinsons River Salt Project

Lonquist to lead survey planning and data acquisition, building on recent technical work at Robinsons

River

Vancouver, British Columbia, September 14, 2026 – Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE:

AA3) (“ Vortex” or the “ Company”) is pleased to announce that it has engaged Lonquist Field Service

(Canada), ULC (“Lonquist”) to manage a targeted ground gravity survey at its 100%-owned Robinsons River

Salt Project (the “Project”) in Newfoundland and Labrador. The engagement advances the ground gravity

program announced by the Company on September 3, 2026.

Lonquist will coordinate survey planning and oversee third-party gravity data acquisition and processing.

The program will build on the recent technical study, with additional measurements intended to fill gaps

in existing gravity coverage across selected priority areas. The resulting data will complement the Project’s

existing geological, drilling and geophysical information, supporting further evaluation of the subsurface

interpretation and potential exploration targets.

“We are pleased to have Lonquist lead this next step at Robinsons River,” said Paul Sparkes, Chief Executive

Officer of Vortex. “Their team’s recent technical work has helped identify where additional information

would be most useful. This survey will allow us to build on that work and c ontinue advancing our

understanding of the Project.”

The survey design, contractor arrangements and schedule are being finalized. Fieldwork remains subject

to the Company’s approval of the final program and confirmation of required permits and access

arrangements. Vortex will provide further details as planning progresses. Gravity interpretations are non-

unique and, on their own, cannot establish salt composition, thickness or continuity.
