VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ – Vortex Metals Inc. (TSXV: VMS) (FSE: DM8) (OTC: VMSSF) (“Vortex” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the environmental study at its Zaachila copper project in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico. This achievement represents a pivotal milestone in the project’s responsible advancement.
In May 2023, Vortex Metals initiated comprehensive environmental and surface geological studies at the Zaachila copper project as part of its commitment to sustainable exploration. Guided by Ambiental y Social Servicios Integrales (ASSI), a respected Mexican environmental firm, the study involved a team of 10 environmental specialists and local field assistants that collected crucial biological data across 500 hectares. Additional geological data has also been collected by Vortex geologists to support the location of proposed drill sites, environmental mitigation and subsequent reclamation.
The outcomes of the now-completed study will form the basis of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, to be submitted to the Federal Environmental Office, SEMARNAT. This report will support Vortex Metals’ application for advanced mineral exploration activities, including drilling, as it advances its pursuit of high-grade copper targets identified in earlier geochemical targeting analyses.
This achievement was made possible through the support of the surrounding community, following a general assembly meeting where approval was granted for the study. The study’s findings will play a significant role in safeguarding the local environment and fostering mutual benefits for both the community and Vortex Metals.
Vikas Ranjan, Chief Executive Officer of VMS, expressed his satisfaction, stating, “The completion of the environmental study at the Zaachila project underscores Vortex’s commitment to responsible exploration and environmental stewardship. With the endorsement of local stakeholders, this achievement brings us closer to realizing the full potential of the project through the potential discovery of high-grade copper targets, and further solidifies our dedication to sustainable practices.”
