(TSXV: VMS) (FSE: DM8) (OTC: VMSSF) (\"Vortex\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Phase 1 geologic field program for the Environmental Baseline Study (EBS) conducted at its flagship\n \n Zaachila Copper\n \n project in\n \n Southern Oaxaca, Mexico\n \n (Figure 1). The study was conducted under the guidance of geologists from Vortex's Mexican subsidiary, Minera Acagold, With the completion of this work, the proposed drilling program will be finalized prior to submitting to the Mexican government as part of the EBS.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Following from community agreements in both the Zaachila and Riqueza Marina concessions, field activities commenced in June at both project areas. At Zaachila, trenching across portions of the exhalite/volcanic breccia/trondjemhite horizon has occurred where historical sampling revealed significant copper values over a \"strike\" distance of several kilometers. Owing to the lateritic profile over the area, the trenches provide excellent exposures across the metamorphic, intrusive and mineralized units and serve to anchor the ongoing geologic mapping.\\\n \n \n \n Phase 1 Field Studies at Zaachila\n \n \n \n A total of 13 trenches have been excavated (Figure 2) across exposures of weakly metamorphosed Upper Jurassic sedimentary, volcanic and intrusive rocks where historical surface sampling identified copper mineralization. A total of 387 meters of trench have been cut yielding a total of 271 chip samples (excluding QA/QC samples). The initial 175 samples have been sent to ALS and results are expected in late\n \n September 2023\n \n . An additional 96 samples are being prepared for shipment and should be available in late October. The trenches completed to date are shown in Figure 2....
