Vortex Energy Mobilizes Field Crews and Commences Ground Gravity Survey at Robinsons River Salt Project
Survey to add new gravity measurements west of the Cloverleaf target and within the eastern block ahead of 3D inversion

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3) (“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that field crews have mobilized and commenced ground gravity data acquisition at its Robinsons River Salt Project (the “Project”) in Newfoundland and Labrador. McKeown Exploration Services is conducting the survey under the management of Lonquist Field Service (Canada), ULC (“Lonquist”), following receipt of the required approvals, permits and land access permissions announced on October 22, 2026.
The approximately 500-station survey is intended to target gaps in existing gravity coverage and to identify priority areas west of the Cloverleaf target and within the eastern block, including traverses along selected historical seismic lines. Field acquisition is estimated to require approximately 22 working days in total, with final coverage and timing subject to access, weather and ground conditions. The new measurements are intended to be integrated with historical airborne gravity-gradiometry, seismic, geological and drilling information, with planned three-dimensional gravity inversion and targeted two-dimensional modelling along key seismic profiles to refine the interpretation of prospective salt structures and support future drill planning. The Company notes that gravity interpretations are non-unique, and gravity data alone cannot establish salt composition, thickness or continuity.
“With crews now collecting data at Robinsons River, we are advancing the next stage of our technical program,” stated Paul Sparkes, Chief Executive Officer of Vortex. “The survey is intended to add measurements across priority areas and to help us refine the geological model as we evaluate locations for future exploration drilling.”

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained in this press release constitute forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking information relates to future events or future performance and reflects management’s current expectations and assumptions regarding such events and performance. Forward-looking information is often identified by words such as “anticipate”, “believe”, “could”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “plan”, “potential”, “should” and “will”, and similar words and expressions, or statements that certain actions, events or results may, could, would, might or will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking information in this press release includes, but is not limited to, statements regarding: the conduct, scope, timing and completion of the ground gravity survey at the Robinsons River Salt Project (the “Project”); the number and locations of measurement stations and the anticipated duration of field acquisition; the continued availability and performance of Lonquist Field Service (Canada), ULC and McKeown Exploration Services; the maintenance of required approvals, permits and land access; the collection, processing, interpretation and integration of new gravity measurements with historical airborne gravity-gradiometry, seismic, geological and drilling information; the completion and results of three-dimensional gravity inversion and targeted two-dimensional modelling; the potential for the survey and modelling to refine the Company’s geological interpretation, identify or further define prospective salt structures, support the selection of potential drilling locations and inform future exploration activities; and the Company’s plans to provide further updates as fieldwork progresses.
Forward-looking information is based on assumptions that management considers reasonable as of the date of this press release, including, without limitation, assumptions that: the Company will have sufficient financial, technical and personnel resources to carry out the planned program; contractors will remain available and perform as anticipated; required approvals, permits and land access permissions will remain in good standing and their conditions will be satisfied; field access, weather and ground conditions will permit the survey to proceed substantially as planned; the planned stations can be surveyed and reliable data can be collected, processed and interpreted; historical datasets are sufficiently accurate, complete and compatible for the contemplated integration and modelling; and the survey and modelling will generate information useful for refining the Company’s geological interpretation and future exploration planning.
Although management believes that the assumptions and expectations reflected in such forward-looking information are reasonable, there can be no assurance that they will prove to be correct. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such information. Such risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: delays, modifications, suspension or non-completion of the survey due to contractor availability or performance, access restrictions, weather, ground conditions, equipment failure, safety or logistical issues, cost escalation, financing constraints, regulatory requirements or other circumstances; the amendment, suspension or revocation of approvals, permits or land access permissions, or the imposition of additional conditions; changes to final station locations, survey coverage or timing; the collection of incomplete, inconsistent or insufficient-quality data, or difficulties integrating new data with historical datasets; the inherent non-uniqueness of gravity interpretations and the possibility that the data may not accurately identify the geometry, composition, thickness, continuity or economic significance of subsurface features; the possibility that inversion and modelling may not be completed, may produce inconclusive or unexpected results, or may not identify suitable drilling targets; inaccuracies, incompleteness or lack of independent verification in historical exploration information; exploration results that do not support further work, drilling or development; future exploration programs not being approved, financed or completed; costs exceeding estimates; and risks inherent in mineral exploration and development, including geological uncertainty, environmental and archaeological requirements, community and stakeholder considerations, changes in laws or regulatory requirements, and the availability of capital, personnel, equipment and services. Additional risks are described in the Company’s continuous disclosure filings available under its profile on SEDAR+. Readers are cautioned that the foregoing list is not exhaustive. The forward-looking information contained in this press release is made as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation 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. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking information. The forward-looking information contained in this press release is expressly qualified by this cautionary statement.
