Vortex Energy Highlights 2025 Technical Milestones Across Project Portfolio and
Announces Adjournment of AGM to February 13, 2026
Technical work completed at Robinsons River and Fire Eye supports next-stage exploration planning
Vancouver, British Columbia, January 21, 2026– Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3)
(“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a year-in-review summary of technical milestones
achieved in 2025, along with a preview of the Company’s exploration plans for 2026. The Company also
notes that its annual general meeting (AGM) has been adjourned to February 13, 2026, due to lack of
meeting the quorum requirement.
The Robinsons River Project
Last year, Vortex advanced the technical understanding of the Robinsons River Salt Project (“Robinsons
Project”) in Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada, through a focused collaboration with the University of
Alberta (“U of A”). This work centered on characterizing the salt system and evaluating properties
relevant to underground energy storage applications, including mineralogical and petrological studies, X-
ray diffraction (XRD) testing, porosity and permeability measurements, and geomechanical investigations
using triaxial testing supported by CT-scanned samples. Vortex also completed the fieldwork on a low-
impact Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) program, in anticipation of developing a three-dimensional
seismic profile of the potential salt dome geometry and internal structure.
In 2026, exploration priorities are expected to focus on integrating the 2025 laboratory and ANT results
into an updated subsurface model by completing ANT processing and interpretation and merging outputs
with existing geophysical and legacy datasets, while continuing technical collaboration with the U of A.
This integrated interpretation is intended to guide next-step evaluation planning, including potential drill
planning and other follow-up work as warranted.
The Fire Eye Project
Last year the technical focus on the Fire Eye project, located in Saskatchewan, Canada, was on validating
historical uranium showings and ranking priority targets as identified by modern geophysical datasets.
Data collected in late-2024 was combined with previous datasets to follow up on targets highlighted by
the 2022 airborne geophysical survey, and to ground-truth two Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index
(SMDI) uranium occurrences on the property. Work on the project this year is intended to build on that
foundation by refining target priorities using the latest observations and results, and designing follow-up
field evaluation as warranted.
Paul Sparkes, Chief Executive Officer of Vortex Energy, commented: “2025 was an important year of
technical progress on our project portfolio. With the field component of the ANT program completed at
Robinsons, and our research collaboration continuing to generate valuable insight, we are focused on
integrating these datasets into a clearer subsurface understanding that can support disciplined planning
for the next stage of evaluation.”
AGM
Due to the absence of quorum at its originally schedule January 20, 2026 AGM, the meeting has been
adjourned to [10:00] am (Vancouver time) on February 13, 2026 at the offices of the Company’s legal
counsel, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP at 1200 – 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, B.C. The record date for the
adjourned AGM remains December 16, 2025.
