VORTEX ENERGY CORP - VTECF STOCK NEWS

Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX | OTC: VTECF | FRA: AA3) has signed a hydrogen storage research and salt core storage agreement with National Research Canada (NRCan). The agreement involves storing approximately 397 meters of salt core from two drill holes at NRCan's Geological Survey of Canada facility in Calgary for two years. During this period, NRCan will conduct research on the salt core to support its project on underground hydrogen storage in salt formations across Canada.

The University of Alberta will also have access to selected salt core samples for mineralogical analysis and experiments. This collaboration is part of a project that received $1.2 million in funding from Alberta Innovates. Vortex's CEO, Paul Sparkes, expressed hope that this collaboration will enhance understanding of the potential for the company's Robinsons River Salt Project.

Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX | OTC: VTECF | FRA: AA3) has announced significant findings from its third core well (VTX-23-W-2) at the Robinsons River Salt Project. The company intersected visible salt rock at a depth of 327 meters, retrieving a total of 279 meters of drill core containing salt rock from a well drilled to approximately 735 meters deep.

The salt formation, similar to that observed in the first core hole, is black and interbedded with mudstone. Initial examinations did not reveal the presence of potassium magnesium salt or anhydrite, which can negatively impact hydrogen storage development. The Western Salt Structure, where this core was drilled, was previously estimated to potentially hold 250,000 tonnes of hydrogen in more than 25 caverns.

The core is being prepared for detailed logging and sample selection, with selected samples to be analyzed by the University of Alberta as part of a collaboration that recently received $1.2 million in Alberta Innovates Funding for hydrogen storage research in Canadian salts.

Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX | OTC: VTECF | FRA: AA3) has completed the first phase of drilling and commenced the second phase at the third well of its Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland & Labrador. The drilling is being conducted by Forage FTE Drilling and Major Drilling International, under the supervision of RESPEC Consulting Inc.

The first phase reached 327 meters using reverse flooded dual rotary drilling, while the second phase aims to drill from 327 meters to approximately 1,000 meters using diamond drilling. The objective is to confirm salt structure depths and obtain geological and geochemical properties of salt and non-salt rocks.

Core samples will be tested by RESPEC and the University of Alberta for hydrogen testing, as part of a collaboration that received $1.2 million in Alberta Innovates Funding.

Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX | OTC: VTECF | FRA: AA3) has commenced drilling on the third core well at its Robinsons River Salt Project near Stephenville, Newfoundland & Labrador. The drilling is being executed by Forage FTE Drilling and Major Drilling International under the guidance of RESPEC Consulting Inc. This well aims to reach a depth of 1,000 meters using reverse circulation and diamond drilling to determine the geological and geochemical properties of salt and non-salt rocks.

While drilling was initially planned for May 2024, it was delayed due to the need for an additional exploration permit, which was approved on May 31, 2024. The project also involves collaboration with the University of Alberta, which received $1.2 million in funding for hydrogen storage research.

Vortex Energy Corp. and World Energy GH2 have entered into a memorandum of understanding to explore green energy storage solutions in Newfoundland and Labrador. The companies aim to leverage their expertise and technologies to drive innovation and develop sustainable energy storage solutions in the region.

Vortex Energy Corp. announces a collaboration with the University of Alberta and Keyera , receiving $1.2 million in funding from Alberta Innovates for the project 'Field Trial of Hydrogen Storage in Canadian Domal and Bedded Salts.' The University of Alberta will conduct laboratory and mathematical analyses to design and implement the first field trial of hydrogen storage in a domal salt in Canada at the Robinsons River Salt Project. The project is part of the Hydrogen Centre of Excellence – Competition 2, with support from Natural Resources Canada. Vortex will provide data, resources, and core samples for the project, aiming to optimize locations, design specifications, and operational parameters for hydrogen storage in salt caverns.

Vortex Energy Corp. sends core samples from the Robinsons River Salt Project to the University of Alberta for testing. The samples include cap rock and salt sections from Core Hole 1, with the cap rock being anhydrite and mudstones, and the salt rock primarily halite with other salts. Various tests will be conducted to determine material properties, mineral composition, and mechanical properties. The Company also grants 1,000,000 restricted share units to certain individuals.

Vortex Energy Corp. finalizes drillhole three planning for the Robinsons River Salt Project and receives a $115,500 grant. The Company plans to drill a 1,000-meter deep core hole with two drilling companies. Mobilization is set for April 2024, with drilling operations starting in May. CEO Paul Sparkes expresses excitement for the exploration efforts and acknowledges the support from the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Vortex Energy Corp. has announced the commencement of drilling at the Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland & Labrador. The drilling program, conducted by Major Drilling Group International Inc., aims to confirm the depth of the salt structure and obtain core samples for future analysis. The Company's CEO expressed optimism about the recommencement of the program.
