Vortex Energy (VTECF) has commissioned Lonquist Field Service (Canada) to assess natural hydrogen and helium potential at its Robinsons River Salt Project.
The desktop geological study covers the company's 100%-owned project in Newfoundland and Labrador. It will review existing geological, geophysical and well data against expected conditions for hydrogen and/or helium generation, migration and trapping. Lonquist will evaluate the available information and recommend further investigation where warranted.
Vortex said the review will help determine whether natural hydrogen and helium warrant further exploration and where follow-up work could be useful. The company plans to provide an update after the study is completed and reviewed. The announcement reports no study results.
Vortex Energy Corp (VTECF) has engaged Lonquist Field Service (Canada) to manage a targeted ground gravity survey at its 100%-owned Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Lonquist will plan the survey and oversee third-party gravity data acquisition and processing, advancing the ground gravity program announced on September 3, 2026. The new measurements aim to fill gaps in existing gravity coverage across selected priority areas, complementing existing geological, drilling and geophysical information and supporting further evaluation of subsurface interpretation and potential exploration targets.
Survey design, contractor arrangements and schedule are being finalized, and fieldwork remains subject to Vortex’s approval of the final program and confirmation of required permits and access. The company notes that gravity interpretations are non-unique and cannot alone determine salt composition, thickness or continuity. Scientific and technical information has been reviewed by a Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Vortex Energy (VTECF) plans to conduct a targeted ground gravity survey at its 100%-owned Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. The program follows an August 6, 2026 technical study that integrated geological, drilling, seismic and gravity data and highlighted remaining interpretive uncertainties.
The new gravity survey is intended to fill gaps in the existing gravity dataset and improve spatial control in selected priority areas. Data from the survey will be combined with legacy seismic, airborne gravity, Ambient Noise Tomography and geological information to refine the subsurface model and help rank potential future drill targets. Vortex is finalizing survey area, station spacing, budget, schedule and permitting, and will release further details once design is complete.
Vortex Energy (CSE: VRTX, OTC: VTECF, FSE: AA3) announced final results from its Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the 100%-owned Robinsons River Salt Project, about 35 km south of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. The ANT work delivers a 3D shear-wave velocity model approximately 17.5 km east‑west by 9.24 km north‑south, imaging the subsurface to at least 2.5 km depth (computationally to 3.8 km).
The survey identified three major velocity domains and highlighted a northeast‑trending velocity discontinuity that may represent a significant structural or lithological boundary, as well as higher‑velocity zones potentially related to metasedimentary and granitic rocks. Vortex is integrating the ANT data with existing seismic, gravity, drilling and core information in an ongoing staged technical review, while emphasizing that ANT alone does not uniquely resolve salt boundaries. The program was executed with the University of Alberta and CAUR Technologies, and supported by Mitacs and Newfoundland and Labrador’s Junior Exploration Assistance Program.
Vortex Energy (OTC: VTECF) announced receipt of a final technical study from Lonquist for the Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland and Labrador. The work integrates seismic, gravity and drilling data, confirming a substantial western salt structure where hole VTX-24-W-02 intersected about 278 m of gross halite-bearing interval and outlining a possible “Cloverleaf” step-out target with interpreted salt thickness near 350 m.
The reprocessed gravity inversion also identifies an untested, deeper eastern exploration target that may contain a greater proportion of lower-density, potentially cleaner salt, though this remains hypothetical without drilling. The study concludes the western block likely hosts moderately quality salt, recommends a staged technical program focused on detailed core analysis, density measurements, salt-percentage estimation, and water/disposal studies, and prioritizes the eastern target for any future exploration. According to Vortex Energy, no NI 43-101 mineral resource, reserve, cavern design, storage capacity or economic evaluation has yet been established, and there is no assurance of commercial viability for salt production, brine production or underground energy storage.
Vortex Energy (OTC: VTECF) announced a corporate update on the ongoing technical study by Lonquist Field Service (Canada) at the Robinsons River Salt Project, about 35 km south of Stephenville, Newfoundland and Labrador. The work focuses on compiling, reviewing and interpreting geological, geophysical and drilling data to refine the subsurface salt model and assess underground storage potential.
Vortex expects study results by the end of July 2026. According to the company, the findings should provide a stronger technical framework to evaluate prospective salt structures, set development priorities and outline next steps. The scientific and technical content was reviewed and approved by Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo., the company’s Qualified Person under NI 43-101.
Vortex Energy (OTC: VTECF) intends to advance the next phase of technical work at the Robinsons River Salt Project, ~35 km south of Stephenville, NL, and has engaged Lonquist Field Service (Canada), ULC as primary technical contractor.
The program will reinterpret gravity data, review prior drilling, and integrate geological, geophysical, and drilling datasets to build a comprehensive subsurface model to assess prospective salt structures and underground storage potential. The scientific content was approved by Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo., VP Exploration and Qualified Person.
Vortex Energy (OTC: VTECF) reported 2025 technical milestones and adjourned its AGM to February 13, 2026 due to lack of quorum. Field and lab work at the Robinsons River project included Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) fieldwork and laboratory studies (XRD, porosity, permeability, CT-supported triaxial geomechanics) conducted with the University of Alberta to improve subsurface models for potential underground energy storage evaluation. At the Fire Eye project, Vortex validated historical uranium showings and ranked targets using updated geophysical datasets. The company plans 2026 integration of datasets to guide potential drilling and follow-up evaluation.
Vortex Energy Corp (OTC: VTECF) announced that the University of Alberta submitted an abstract titled “Structure Assessment of the Robinson River Salt Dome for Hydrogen Storage” for presentation at the Canadian Hydrogen Convention on April 21-22, 2026.
The abstract reports results from an ambient noise tomography (ANT) passive-seismic survey over the Robinsons River Salt Dome to image halite-rich and impurity-bearing layers within Codroy Group evaporites, informing underground hydrogen storage suitability in Atlantic Canada. The research was led by Dr. Hassan Dehghanpour with CAUR Technologies and Vortex participation. Technical review was completed by Jared Suchan, Ph.D., P.Geo., VP Exploration. The project received Junior Exploration Assistance funding from Newfoundland and Labrador.
Vortex Energy (OTC:VTECF) has successfully completed the field component of its Ambient Noise Tomography (ANT) survey at the Robinsons River Salt Project in Newfoundland. The survey, conducted between July 31 and August 26, 2025, deployed 188 GTI NuSeis NRU D3 tri-axial digital nodal instruments across approximately 335 km² of property.
The survey array, with an average station spacing of 710 metres, extended 22.8 km east-west and 14.7 km north-south. The collected data will be processed to create high-resolution three-dimensional seismic velocity models, aimed at better understanding the salt dome geometry underlying the property. The project involved collaboration between the University of Alberta, CAUR Technologies, Geosig, and Storm Exploration.
