Vortex Energy Completes Phase 1 Exploration at the Fire Eye Uranium Property in Saskatchewan and Changes Option Conditions, IR-WORLD.com Finanzkommunikation GmbH, Story

(CSE: VRTX | OTC: VTECF | FWB: AA3) (“Vortex“or this”Pursue“) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Phase 1 exploration program on its Fire Eye uranium property (“concession area“) in the Athabasca Basin in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan. The Phase 1 program includes soil prospecting, geological mapping, sampling and radiometric measurements using a scintillometer.

This first phase was designed to further examine targets identified by the 2022 airborne geophysical survey, verify historical mineralization and evaluate new potential areas of interest on the property. In particular, the property manages two historic uranium deposits that are recorded in the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index and have been the subject of prospecting as part of the current work program.

Key data of the program

1) The property has been broadly prospected with surface gamma radioactivity measured between 300 CPS and 4,000 CPS. In particular, higher radioactivity values ​​of 1,200 to 1,600 CPS were recorded in association with pegmatite outcrops within a large granite body characterized by feldspar crystals with a 240 degree lineation trend.

2) Six areas of interest (AOIs) identified by the 2022 airborne geophysical survey were also examined. Rock samples were collected in AOIs Nos. 3, 4 and 5 that had surface radioactivity greater than 1,000 CPS.

3) A total of 25 rock samples (random and chip samples) and 7 soil samples were collected from various outcrops and soils. Areas where scintillometer readings were too low or could not be sampled were scanned and the corresponding readings recorded.

Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy Corp., said: “The completion of our Phase 1 exploration program at Fire Eye is a significant milestone for Vortex. The scintillometer readings and initial findings, particularly in areas with historic mineralization and newly identified targets, give us confidence. The initial results highlight the potential of the property and we look forward to analyzing the samples collected to gain a better understanding of the potential uranium mineralization in this region.”

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has amended the option agreement (“Option Agreement”) dated March 22, 2022 with respect to the Fire Eye Property (“Amendment Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment Agreement, the option grantor (“Optionor”) has agreed to accept, in lieu of the cash payment of $50,000, such number of shares of the Company’s shares having the same value ($50,000) based on the 10-day volume weighted average price. The Optionor has also determined to extend the terms by which aggregate issues of $110,000 and $250,000 must be purchased no later than the date three and four years after the date of the Option Agreement (i.e., March 22, 2025, respectively). March 22, 2026).

About Vortex Energy Corp.

Vortex Energy Corp. is a Canadian mineral exploration company focused on identifying and developing high-quality assets in North America. The company is keen to use its assets for salt mining and storing energy and CO₂ in caverns. The Company owns a North American salt project with infrastructure access where multiple salt structures have been identified.

The Company is also currently seeking to expand its Fire Eye uranium property in the Athabasca Basin, a region known worldwide for its uranium deposits.

About the Fire Eye Lake Uranium Property

The property includes a mineral concession MC00015792 totaling 4,496.66 hectares; It is located approximately 400 kilometers north of the town of La Ronge in the Northern Mining District of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan and 50 kilometers east of Provincial Highway #905. The property is accessible by helicopter or fixed wing aircraft from Wollaston Lake. The property’s exploration history dates back to the 1930s when initial work was conducted by the Geological Survey of Canada. Two uranium deposits have been identified on the property and documented in the Saskatchewan Mineral Deposit Index (“SMDI”): SMDI 1710 – Middle Lake Uriniferous Pegmatite Anomalies 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5; and SMDI 1832 Fire Eye Lake. Historical survey maps of the available lake sediment and EU data suggest that conditions in the western part of the property are relatively more favorable for uranium exploration than in the eastern part.
