VORTEX ENERGY CLEARS DRILL TRAIL AND COMPLETES EARTHWORKS FOR DRILLING PADS AT THE ROBINSONS RIVER SALT PROJECT, NEWFOUNDLAND & LABRADOR

Vortex Energy Corp. has successfully completed approximately 12 kilometres of drill trail clearing and preparation of two 120-foot by 120 ft drilling pads at the Robinsons River salt project. The work was completed by On Grade Construction of Stephenville, Nfld., a subcontractor hired under the supervision and project management of the company's primary consulting partner, RESPEC Consulting Inc.

The priority from RESPEC has been to assist the mobilizing efforts with being on site, guiding road clearing and earthworks for drilling pads, and float offloading of drilling cargo. All equipment from Major Drilling has arrived on site and the company expects to begin drilling later this week.

Paul Sparkes, chief executive officer, commented: "We're thrilled to share the completion of drill trail clearing and earthworks for drilling pads at the Robinsons River salt project. With thanks to RESPEC, On Grade Construction and the local community for their dedicated efforts, we are now set to begin drilling at the project."
