Vortex Energy Announces Plans to Complete an Ambient Noise Tomography Survey at the Robinsons River Salt Project

Vortex Energy Plans Geophysical Survey at Robinsons River Salt Project to Assess Hydrogen Storage Potential

/EIN News/ -- VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3) (“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce plans for a detailed geophysical survey at its flagship Robinsons River Salt Project (the “Project”) in Newfoundland. This marks the start of summer exploration activities that are focused on evaluating the project’s suitability for large-scale hydrogen storage within deep subsurface salt structures.

The Ambient Noise Tomography (“ANT”) survey, which is a low-impact, passive seismic method, is expected to image the geometry and internal structure of the Robinsons River salt dome in three dimensions. The survey is being conducted in partnership with the University of Alberta and is funded in part through research support provided by Mitacs, a national innovation organization that fosters collaboration between academia and industry.

“This survey is designed to help us better understand the size, shape, and structural integrity of the East and West salt domes identified in prior gravity and seismic studies,” stated Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy. “ANT offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to image deep targets, helping us refine our cavern development strategy.”

This work represents the first phase of exploration in a broader hydrogen storage evaluation strategy of the Project. The data collected from the ANT survey is expected to complement and be integrated with other datasets, including gravity, magnetics, and legacy active seismic data, to create a unified interpretation and drill targeting model. The Company intends to initiate further drilling based on these results.

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, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable securities laws.
