Vertical Signs Exclusivity Agreement
VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 24, 2024 / VERTICAL EXPLORATION INC. (TSXV:VERT) (“Vertical” or “the Company”) announces it has signed an exclusivity agreement with an international entity regarding the Company’s St-Onge Wollastonite deposit in Quebec. This exclusivity agreement is limited to exploring potential applications for enhanced rock weathering (ERW)-focused carbon removal. Due to a confidentiality clause in the agreement the entity will remain unnamed until such time as an official agreement may be reached.
Wollastonite’s properties make it a very suitable mineral to demonstrate its ability to capture and permanently store atmospheric CO2. When the rock weathers, it releases calcium, magnesium, and silicon, as well as other major and minor nutrients into the soil which results in higher crop yields, increased pest resistance, and improvement in the pH of soils, making it very beneficial to farmers while absorbing up to 10 times faster than comparable silicate minerals.
“We are very pleased to be receiving serious attention from many sources at this time. This exclusivity agreement is restricted to enhanced rock weathering applications relating to carbon capturing and does not affect ongoing talks and negotiations with other entities interested in our wollastonite for various other large applications,” stated Peter Swistak, CEO of Vertical Exploration Inc.
