Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) completed a high-resolution airborne geophysical survey over the 180 km2 Illapel Copper Project in Coquimbo Region, Chile on April 30, 2026. The helicopter survey by New-Sense Geophysics used magnetic, radiometric, and VLF methods with 100 m traverse spacing and ~60 m terrain clearance.
The company expects the final NSG report in coming weeks; data will be used to map lithology, alteration and structures, refine Manto-type stratabound targets, and generate drill-ready targets for near-term follow-up.
Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) has contracted New-Sense Geophysics to run a high-resolution helicopter-borne survey over the Illapel Copper Project, ~20 km northeast of Illapel, Coquimbo Region, Chile.
The program will collect magnetic, radiometric and VLF data to map lithology, alteration and structures, refine Manto-style targets and generate prioritized follow-up drill targets.
Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) appointed Dr. Craig W. Beasley as Technical Advisor to support its exploration programs, notably the Phase II program at the Illapel Copper project in Chile. The company granted 200,000 stock options exercisable at C$0.05 per share for five years, vesting quarterly over 12 months.
Dr. Beasley brings over three decades of geophysics and data-integration experience, expected to enhance target generation and regional modelling across Vortex's copper-gold portfolio.
Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) has initiated Phase II exploration and an airborne geophysics program at the Illapel copper-silver project, Chile.
Phase II expands work across the 180 km2 concession, includes ~2,000 line-km of Magnetics, VLF-EM and Radiometrics, and follows Phase I holes that intersected sulphide mineralization and low-resistivity zones.
Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) engaged Global One Media to produce and distribute video interviews and investor marketing content to expand outreach to Millennial and Gen Z investors.
The agreement runs from Feb 1, 2026 to Jul 31, 2026 with a monthly cash fee of USD $6,000, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval.

The company highlights copper-gold exploration assets in Mexico and Chile, including the Riqueza Marina and Zaachila concessions (four concessions totaling 15,308 hectares with five target areas) and the Illapel Copper Project in Chile, where Phase 1 drilling confirmed copper-silver and gold-copper mineralization. Management frames the leadership change as enabling advancement of these projects and value creation for shareholders.
Vortex Metals (OTCQB: VMSSF) announced it has continued its corporate jurisdiction from Ontario into British Columbia under the BCBCA, effective following shareholder approval on October 15, 2025.

The firm will initially focus on the Zaachila Project, a Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) project spanning 3,264 hectares, located 40km southwest of Salina Cruz.
The Santiago Astata Agrarian Community has approved expanded environmental and geological baseline studies, a crucial requirement for drill permits. The Zaachila project features a >5km copper-in-rock anomaly and is considered drill-ready.
Additionally, the company has engaged Fairfax Partners Inc. for a three-month investor outreach program with an initial budget of C$25,000 plus GST.
Vortex Metals (VMSSF) has announced results from down-hole/borehole geophysics at its Illapel Copper Project in Chile. The survey, completed on February 1st, 2025, in drill hole DVM-08, reached a depth of 247m and measured various parameters including gamma radiation, resistivity, and temperature.
The results confirmed that: 1) sulphide mineralization responds to electrical geophysical methods, 2) mineralization extends beyond the drill hole over significant widths, and 3) additional drilling is justified to locate a larger, high-grade lens. The contractor GEODATOS identified six sections potentially containing sulphide bodies.
The company plans to:
- Confirm additional drill targets near DVM-08
- Conduct further drilling 2km north of Rio 27 mine
- Initialize mapping and sampling in the northeastern concession area
- Verify copper grades in DVM-08 intercepts
