VORTEX ANNOUNCES PRELIMINARY INTERPRETATION OF GEOPHYSICS SURVEY ON ILLAPEL COPPER PROJECT

Vortex Metals Inc. has completed a large (180-square-kilometre), detailed helicopter airborne geophysical survey over its Illapel copper-silver project in Choapa province of the Coquimbo region (Region IV) of northern Chile and has received the final report from the survey. The survey was designed to define geology, alteration and structure over the entire concession-area, and will be fundamental in the definition of targets for detailed follow-up by geophysics and drilling.

Survey parameters comprise detailed, high-resolution helicopter magnetic, VLF and gamma-ray spectrometry at 100-metre line spacing for a total of 2,000 line kilometres. The highly respected geophysical contractor, New-Sense Geophysics Ltd., has completed compilation and processing of all data, and has delivered these products to Vortex Metals.

Vortex is now in the process of interpreting these data with in-house geological and geophysical personnel. While the interpretation is in initial stages, it is already clear that known mineralization is associated with well-defined areas of magnetic lows, and that favourable structures may be identified extending under cover. Given the presence of high-grade copper and silver mineralization at the Rio 27 mine within the concession area, Vortex believes that new targets identified by the geophysics will be highly prospective for high-grade, manto-style mineralization.
