VORTEX METALS ENGAGES THE SERVICES OF GLOBAL ONE MEDIA FOR INVESTOR MARKETING

Vortex Metals Inc. has engaged the services of Global One Media Ltd. to produce and distribute video interviews, company news and other similar services for investor marketing and wider investor outreach.

Commenting on the Global One Media engagement, Bastien Boulay, chief executive officer of Global One Media, said: "With the vast majority of young adults turning to social media for investment advice, we are thrilled to be able to introduce and enhance Vortex Metals' exposure to millennial and Gen Z investors in particular, who typically consume investment information on digital channels such as YouTube, TikTok or Spotify. By presenting the information in a way that is relevant to them and easy to digest and understand, we aim to help Vortex Metals develop a dynamic on-line following across all their social media channels."

"Vortex has assembled a compelling portfolio of copper-gold exploration assets. Its volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) projects in Oaxaca, Mexico, were founded by a legendary mine finder, who made multiple discoveries, including Los Filos gold and silver mine, and are highly prospective. Its Illapel project is in a well-known mining area and next to an operating mine. I look forward to working closely with Globe One Media's team in outlining and educating the wider investors' audience about Vortex Metals," stated Michael Williams, interim chief executive officer and director.

The term of the agreement with Global One Media commenced on Feb. 1, 2026, and ends on July 31, 2026. The Global One agreement may be renewed after the initial term upon the mutual agreement of the company and Global One Media. Under the terms of the Global One agreement, the company has agreed to pay Global One a monthly cash fee of $6,000 (U.S.). There are no performance factors impacting the compensation of Global One Media, and Global One Media will not receive any securities of the company as compensation. Global One Media does not have any interest, directly or indirectly, in the company. The Global One agreement is subject to regulatory approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.
