VORTEX ENERGY CORP. SENDS CORE SAMPLES FROM THE ROBINSONS RIVER SALT PROJECT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA

Vortex Energy Corp. has shipped core samples from the initial hole drilled at the Robinsons River salt project to the University of Alberta.

The Company's consultant, RESPEC Consulting Inc. ("RESPEC"), has conducted core logging on the cap rock and salt sections obtained from Core Hole 1 (VTX-West-23-1). The cap rock is predominantly anhydrite, intermixed with mudstones, while the salt rock is primarily composed of halite, featuring zones of intermixed mudstones and occasional potash salts such as carnallite and possibly sylvite. RESPEC has selected and shipped samples to the University of Alberta, which will perform various tests to delineate the material properties of the cap rock and salt. The planned tests include thin-section analysis using SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) for visual mineral identification, EDS (Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) for elemental composition and percentages, and XRD (X-ray Diffraction) for crystalline mineral identification and percentages. Additional tests will assess insoluble mineral percentages, diffusion, and various geomechanical tests to identify the exact minerals present in the core and determine the structural and mechanical properties of the formations.

The Company also announces that it has granted 1,000,000 restricted share units ("RSUs") to certain directors, officers, and consultants of the Company pursuant to the Company's equity incentive plan (the "Plan").
