Vortex Metals has commenced phase two exploration at its Illapel copper-silver project in Chile, building on initial findings that identified low-resistivity sulphide mineralisation extending from the Rio 27 mine. The project covers 180km² and will involve a 2,000 line kilometre airborne geophysical survey using magnetics, VLF-EM, and radiometrics to determine potential mineralisation.

Initial drilling supported the presence of a mineralised system, with notable results from hole DVM-08. Discussions with a local contractor for the survey are ongoing. Vortex's ACAGOLD unit also received authorization for exploration in Oaxaca, Mexico.
