Vortex Energy Corp. Announces Submission of Abstract for Presentation at the 2026 Canadian Hydrogen Convention

University of Alberta-led research highlights emerging hydrogen storage potential at Robinsons River Salt Dome

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vortex Energy Corp. (CSE: VRTX) (OTC: VTECF) (FSE: AA3) (“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the University of Alberta has submitted an abstract titled “Structure Assessment of the Robinson River Salt Dome for Hydrogen Storage” to the Canadian Hydrogen Convention committee, in relation to an opportunity to present at the Edmonton Convention Centre between April 21-22, 2026.

The presentation will outline the results and interpretation of the ambient noise tomography (ANT) survey conducted over the Robinsons River Salt Dome, a key step in evaluating the site’s suitability for potential underground hydrogen storage. The research team, led by Dr. Hassan Dehghanpour from the University of Alberta, in collaboration with CAUR Technologies Inc. and Vortex Energy Corp., applied passive-seismic imaging to delineate the dome’s internal structure and mechanical integrity.

Preliminary findings highlight the ability of ANT methods to image halite-rich sequences and impurity-bearing layers within the Codroy Group evaporites, providing a foundation for assessing hydrogen containment potential in Atlantic Canada.

“We are proud to see our academic partners recognized on a national stage for advancing innovative, low-impact geophysical methods that align with Canada’s growing clean energy goals,” said Paul Sparkes, CEO of Vortex Energy Corp. “This abstract submission underscores the collaborative strength of industry and academia in developing Canada’s first-generation hydrogen storage infrastructure.” The Canadian Hydrogen Convention is the country’s premier hydrogen event, bringing together researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders to advance Canada’s clean energy future.
