Qualified Person under NI 43-101

The scientific and technical information on the Site has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory requirements in NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). All scientific and technical information is supervised and reviewed by Robert J. Johansing who is a “Qualified Person” as defined in NI 43-101. Mr. Johansing has reviewed and approved the scientific and geological technical information contained in our website.

U.S. Residents/ Investors

No information in this Site, the Report, or any newsletter constitutes an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the securities of the Company in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. The securities of the Company have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act“), or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States, unless an exemption from such registration is available, information concerning the assets and operations of the Company included in this Site, the Report, or any newsletter have been prepared in accordance with Canadian standards and is not comparable in all respects to similar information for United States companies.

Canadian Mineral Disclosure Standards: The Company is not a registrant under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and is not subject to the disclosure standards of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to such registrants – including, without limitation, Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K – Disclosure by Registrants Engaged in Mining Operations. Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K is intended to modernize the mineral property disclosure requirements for issuers whose securities are being registered with the SEC under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or are subject to reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. Those provisions became effective February 25, 2019 with compliance required by SEC registrant companies for the first fiscal year beginning on or after January 1, 2021 (the “SEC Modernization Rules”). The SEC Modernization Rules have replaced the historical property disclosure requirements for mining registrants that were included in SEC Industry Guide 7, which has been rescinded.

The Site may contain scientific and technical information that the Company has voluntarily elected to have prepared in accordance with the requirements of Canadian provincial securities laws, which differ from the requirements of United States federal securities laws. Unless otherwise indicated, all mineral resource estimates included on the Site have been prepared in accordance with NI 43-101. NI 43-101 is an instrument developed by the Canadian Securities Administrators that establishes standards for all public disclosure an issuer makes of scientific and technical information concerning mineral projects. United States investors are cautioned that the disclosure that the Company provides on its mineral properties in this Site may be different from the disclosure that an issuer subject to SEC reporting requirements (other than Canadian issuers eligible to file reports with the SEC under the Multijurisdictional Disclosure System, or MJDS) would otherwise be required to provide under the SEC Modernization Rules.

Forward Looking Information

From time to time, we make written or oral forward-looking statements within the meaning of certain securities laws, including in this Site, in filings with Canadian securities regulators and in other communications. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements we make about our operations, business lines, financial condition, risk management, priorities, targets, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the words ‘believe,’, ‘expect,’, ‘anticipate,’, ‘intend,’, ‘estimate’ and other similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as ‘will,’, ‘should,’, ‘would’ and ‘could.’ By their nature, these statements require us to make assumptions and are subject to inherent risks and uncertainties that may be general or specific. A variety of factors, many of which are beyond our control affect our operations, performance and results and those of our business lines, and could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements. The Company does not undertake to update any forward-looking statement that is contained in this Site or in other communications. Any financial outlook and future-oriented financial information contained in this Site from time to time about prospective financial performance or financial position is based on assumptions about future events, including economic conditions and proposed courses of action, based on Vortex’s management’s assessment of the relevant information currently available, and to become available in the future. These projections contain forward-looking statements and are based on a number of material assumptions and factors. Actual results may differ significantly from the projections presented herein. Any such information is highly subjective, and should not be relied on as necessarily indicative of future results. The Company does not assume or undertake any obligation to update or revise any financial outlook and future-oriented financial information or departures from them, except as expressly required by applicable law. Risks and uncertainties for the Company include, but are not limited to, the risks associated with the impact of general economic conditions in countries in which these companies conduct business, the impact of competitive products and pricing, risks associated with mining exploration, local regulatory risks, impact of commodity pricing, product demand and market acceptance, discovery of new mineral resources, the continuation and development of key customer and supplier relationships, and the availability of high quality, qualified personnel and management.
