VORTEX METALS COMPLETES HIGH-RESOLUTION AIRBORNE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY AT ILLAPEL COPPER PROJECT IN CHILE

Vortex Metals Inc. has successfully completed a high-resolution airborne geophysical survey over its Illapel copper project, located approximately 20 kilometres northeast of Illapel in the Coquimbo region of north-central Chile, a prolific copper belt.

The helicopter-borne survey was completed by New-Sense Geophysics Ltd. (NSG), a globally recognized provider of airborne geophysical services with extensive experience across the Andes. The program incorporated magnetic, radiometric and very low frequency (VLF) methods, and represents a key milestone in advancing the company's exploration strategy at Illapel. The company expects to receive final report from New-Sense Geophysics in coming weeks.

Survey specifications:

• Survey area: 180 square kilometres;
• Traverse line spacing: 100 metres;
• Traverse line direction: north 90 degrees/270 degrees east;
• Control line spacing: 1,000 metres;
• Control line direction: north zero degrees/180 degrees east;
• Mean terrain clearance: approximately 60 metres nominal.

The survey was designed to generate high-resolution data sets to map lithology, alteration zones and structural controls associated with copper mineralization. These data will support and validate existing geological interpretations, refine targeting of Manto-type stratabound deposits, identify structural corridors for follow-up exploration, and would help generate high-potential drill targets.

"Vortex is pleased to have successfully completed the geophysics survey and looks forward to receiving the final report, which will provide insights into the lithology, alteration and structure of the Illapel project," said Vikas Ranjan, president and director. "Interpretation and integration of this important data set should strengthen our geological understanding and would facilitate generation of drill-ready targets for near-term follow-up."

The Illapel project is situated within Chile's Coastal metallogenic belt, a highly prospective geological corridor known to host numerous copper deposits, including Manto-type and iron-oxide-copper-gold (IOCG) systems. The company believes that integrating modern geophysical techniques with its existing geological framework will enhance exploration efficiency and accelerate the advancement toward drilling and potential resource discovery.

Strategic outlook

completion of the airborne survey marks a significant step forward in Vortex Metals' systematic exploration approach. The company is now focused on data processing, interpretation and target generation, with the objective of prioritizing high-potential zones for near-term drilling.
