Surface Sampling Program At The Illapel Project

VANCOUVER - Vortex Metals Inc. reported on the recent surface sampling program conducted at the Illapel Copper Project in Chile. The program focused on evaluating mineralization across several key areas within the project concessions.

Preliminary results indicate significant copper mineralization, with 8 out of the 13 samples revealing significant copper mineralization above 1.0% copper. Notable findings include: 1) Sample 1021: 0.62 grams per ton (g/t) gold and 1.33% copper. 2) Sample 1019: 75.2 g/t silver, and 4.31% copper. 3) Sample 1029: 32.6 g/t silver, 0.21 g/t gold, and 5.85% copper.

These results suggest that the Illapel project has the potential to host high-grade copper and precious metal deposits, highlighting its economic viability.

In addition to copper, gold and silver, the program identified elevated levels of associated elements such as iron, molybdenum, and cobalt, providing further insight into the style of mineralization within the project area. The results confirm that the Illapel concessions have the potential to host at least two distinct styles of mineralization: Mantos - Predominantly Cu-Ag mineralization, and Epithermal Vein Systems - Characterized by Cu-Au mineralization. The Company has also collected bulk samples to produce standards for quality control in future drill-core analysis, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of exploration results.
