VATIC PROVIDES DRILLING CONTRACT DETAILS IN LINE WITH COMMERCIAL

GRADE POTASH DISCOVERY ELEMENTS

Vancouver, BC, April 27, 2018 - Vatic Ventures Corp. (the "Company" or "Vatic") (TSX-V: VCV, OTCBB:

VTTCF, and FWB: V8V2) is pleased to provide details of its drilling contract with Aztec Engineering Co.

Ltd. (“Aztec”) for its upcoming drilling program.

Aztec undertakes all types of drilling - mud rotary, RAB, RC, DTH, auger, wireline coring and cathodic

protection groundbeds. Most of its drilling work has been performed in Southeast Asia but consulting work

has taken it all over the globe. Joint venturing with Geocon Co. Ltd., Aztec offers shallow high resolution

seismic surveys using the minie-Sosie system, which is ideal in rugged terrain for shallow oil and gas surveys

and exploration for sedimentary minerals, such as coal or potash. Aztec has extensive experience drilling for

potash in the Khorat Basin, and previously was the drilling contractor for the Udon project, developed by

Asia Pacific Resources Ltd., a Canadian company credited with Thailand’s first commercial sylvanite

discovery.

The logging tools included in the drilling contract with Vatic are:

1. Electric Log. Parameters recorded are Natural Gamma (NG), Spontaneous Potential (SP), Single Point

Resistivity (SPR), 16” Normal Resistivity (16N), 64” Normal Resistivity (64N) and Temperature. This log

is recorded using a Robertson Geologging winch and surface equipment.

2. Density Log. Parameters recorded are Guard Resistivity, Natural Gamma, Caliper, Density. This

equipment is sourced from another supplier and recorded using a Century Geophysical winch and

surface equipment.

3. Neutron Log. The tool does not have the slant angle and azimuth capability. This is also a Century

Geophysical tool.

4. Full waveform sonic tool.

The drilling program comprises up to 10 holes and the locations for the first three holes have been

confirmed. Based on information from the adjacent Dan Khun Thot project, it is anticipated that the potash

zone will be encountered at depths up to 300 meters and the initial holes will be drilled to a planned depth of

350 meters. Depending upon drill penetration rates and weather conditions, it is anticipated that it will take

approximately one month to complete the first three holes. The Company confirms that it has agreement

from the landowners for the first three hole locations.
