VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3) ("Vortex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the field component of its Ambient Noise Tomography ("ANT") survey at the Robinsons River Salt Project, located in Newfoundland.
Between July 31 and August 26, 2025, a total of 188 GTI NuSeis NRU D3 tri-axial digital nodal instruments, each equipped with 5 Hz geophones, were deployed across the property. The survey array extended approximately 22.8 km east-west and 14.7 km north-south, covering a footprint of approximately 335 km² with an average station spacing of 710 metres. Nearly all instruments were successfully retrieved following an 18-day recording period, ensuring a complete dataset for subsurface imaging.
Collaboration between the University of Alberta, CAUR Technologies, Geosig, and Storm Exploration ensured efficient deployment and retrieval operations. The resulting dataset will now undergo processing to produce high-resolution three-dimensional seismic velocity models of the subsurface. These models are expected to significantly advance understanding of the salt dome geometry underlying the Robinsons River property and guide future exploration activities.
Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy, commented: "Completing the ANT field program is a major step forward for the Robinsons River Salt Project. We now have a strong foundation of data that will help us better understand the property and move it toward becoming an important clean energy and storage asset for Newfoundland and Labrador and Canada."
The Company will provide updates as data processing and interpretation progress, with final results expected later this year.
