Vortex Energy Initiates Sensor Recollection at Robinsons River Salt Project

Following Completion of ANT Data Collection Phase

Vancouver, British Columbia, August 26, 2025 – Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3)

(“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its field crews have mobilized back to the

Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland and Labrador to begin the recollection of Ambient Noise

Tomography (“ANT”) sensors.

This marks a milestone in the ANT survey program, as the sensors have now completed their required

data collection period. The retrieval process will allow the Company’s technical partners to begin the next

stage of analysis and processing. The ANT survey is designed to image subsurface structures at depth and

provide high-resolution data critical to confirming the geometry and potential storage capacity of the

Robinsons River Salt Dome.

Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy, commented: “The transition into sensor retrieval marks the next step

forward for the Robinsons River Project. With the ANT sensors having completed their collection period,

we are now moving toward unlocking the data that will guide the next phase of exploration. Each

milestone brings us closer to fully understanding the potential of the salt dome and to positioning

Robinsons River as a cornerstone exploration project in Canada’s emerging energy storage landscape.”

The retrieval of the ANT sensors will be followed by data processing and imaging, which will form the

basis of preliminary interpretations later this fall. These results will be incorporated into the Company’s

ongoing technical evaluations and will guide the next stages of exploration and development planning for

the Robinsons River Salt Project.
