Vertical Exploration Commences Drilling on Advanced Stage St. Onge

Wollastonite Deposit

VANCOUVER, BC / February 21st, 2019 / VERTICAL EXPLORATION INC. (TSX-V: VERT)

("Vertical" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has commenced a diamond drilling and

sampling program on its advanced stage St-Onge-Wollastonite Deposit located approximately 90

kilometres Northwest of the city of Saguenay, in St-Onge township, in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region

of Quebec, Canada.

The program will consist of 23 holes and an estimated 1850 meters of drilling in total. Assay samples will

be taken from the NQ Core and split in half on site, with one half being sent to COREM’s lab facilities in

Quebec City and the other half being retained for future reference at Vertical’s fully secured facilities in

Saguenay Quebec. A strict quality assurance/quality control (QA/QC) program will be applied to all

samples, including mineralized certified samples, blank samples and duplicate sample for each batch of

15 samples taken.

The drilling program will provide Vertical with important mineral data that will allow the Company to

further update its NI 43-101 Technical report and aggressively move forward with its plans to begin

quarry permitting process on its St-Onge-Wollastonite Deposit. Drilling results will be announced when

received.

The diamond drilling program will be supervised by Jean-Paul Barrette, P.Geo from the Company’s

geological team.
