🔬 MINERAL MONDAY | BUILT TO HOLD ITS SHAPE

What helps ceramic products maintain their shape during manufacturing?

One answer is wollastonite.

This naturally occurring calcium silicate mineral is used in certain ceramic formulations, where it can help control firing shrinkage and improve dimensional stability.

From architectural tiles to specialized industrial ceramics, mineral selection plays an important role in manufacturing performance.

Vertical Exploration’s St-Onge project in Québec represents an opportunity to explore these established industrial applications.

🏗️ CLIMATE FRIDAY | THE NEXT FRONTIER IN LOWER-CARBON CONCRETE

When we discuss climate solutions, we often focus on energy. But the materials used to construct our buildings and infrastructure matter too.

A peer-reviewed study published in August 2026 examined the potential of wollastonite in cement-based materials.

Researchers compared untreated, carbonated, and acid-leached wollastonite. Their analysis found that the carbonated-wollastonite treatment had the lowest strength-normalized carbon footprint among the approaches evaluated.

The research highlights another potentially valuable application for wollastonite beyond its established industrial uses.

For Vertical Exploration, whose St-Onge project in Québec contains wollastonite, this is an emerging area of materials science worth following.

These are independent research findings, not commercial performance results for Vertical’s material.

🌱 FARMING WEDNESDAY | FIVE YEARS. ONE MAJOR MILESTONE.

Bringing an agricultural mineral to market involves more than identifying a valuable resource. Regulatory requirements matter, too.

In December 2024, Vertical Exploration announced a five-year CFIA permit for its Global Wollastonite Agricultural Calcium Silicate product, produced from the company’s St-Onge quarry in Québec.

The permit represents an important step in Vertical’s efforts to develop agricultural markets for its wollastonite.

From mineral resources to agricultural applications, Vertical continues to explore the commercial potential of St-Onge.

🌎 CLIMATE FRIDAY | Climate Impact Needs Evidence

Carbon removal is about more than potential. It’s about measurable results.

Enhanced rock weathering (ERW) is attracting scientific attention for its ability to use naturally occurring minerals, including wollastonite, in processes that can remove atmospheric CO₂.

But how do researchers determine how much carbon is actually removed?

Through monitoring soil chemistry, dissolved minerals, water alkalinity and the overall carbon balance.

A 2026 scientific study involving wollastonite highlighted how soil acidity can significantly influence estimates of net carbon removal.

For Vertical Exploration, the St-Onge wollastonite deposit represents an opportunity to explore this developing field. The company previously announced an exploratory agreement focused on ERW carbon-removal applications.

The future of credible carbon removal depends on measurable science.

🔬 MINERAL MONDAY | Why Shape Matters

Not all industrial minerals behave the same way—and sometimes the difference comes down to shape.

Wollastonite naturally forms an acicular structure: elongated, needle-like particles. When wollastonite is processed, that geometry can make it useful as a functional reinforcing mineral rather than simply a conventional filler.

In plastics, Vertical reports that wollastonite can improve composite durability and dimensional stability. In construction materials, it can contribute to flexural and impact strength and serve as a lightweight reinforcing filler in cement board. Its physical properties also support applications in paints, coatings, ceramics, adhesives, rubber and other engineered materials.

That microscopic structure helps explain why one mineral can serve so many very different industries.

Sometimes the opportunity is in the details you can’t see with the naked eye.

🌎 CLIMATE FRIDAY | Carbon Removal Starts With a Reaction

Some climate technologies begin with extremely complex machinery.

Enhanced rock weathering begins with a natural chemical process.

When wollastonite weathers in the presence of water and atmospheric CO₂, the reaction can convert carbon into dissolved and ultimately more stable forms while releasing calcium, silicon and other mineral constituents.

That combination is why wollastonite is being investigated not only as an agricultural mineral, but also as a potential tool for carbon dioxide removal through enhanced rock weathering.

Vertical Exploration has already taken a concrete step into this emerging field: in October 2024, the company announced an exclusivity agreement with an international entity specifically to explore ERW-focused carbon-removal applications for its St-Onge wollastonite.

Research highlighted by Vertical has also reported greater soil CO₂ content following wollastonite application in field trials, with the strongest results occurring where it had been applied over multiple consecutive years.

One mineral. A natural reaction. A potentially important climate application.

🌱 FARMING WEDNESDAY | The Nutrient Hiding in Plain Sight

Healthy crops start below the surface.

Research conducted with AGRINOVA on Vertical Exploration’s St-Onge wollastonite identified high bioavailability of silicon, along with appreciable levels of calcium and other mineral elements relevant to plant nutrition.

Why is silicon interesting? Research reviewed by AGRINOVA associated available silicon with enhanced plant growth and greater resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses.

And this is no longer simply an R&D story. Vertical’s Global Wollastonite Agricultural Calcium Silicate has received a five-year CFIA permit, alongside the company’s OMRI and Ecocert organic approvals.

From a mineral beneath Québec soil to an agricultural input with real-world applications—that’s another side of the wollastonite story.

⛏️ MINERAL MONDAY | St-Onge, Québec

Sometimes the most important story isn’t what could happen. It’s what’s already been accomplished.

Vertical Exploration’s flagship St-Onge Wollastonite Project is:

✓ 100% owned by Vertical Exploration
✓ Fully permitted
✓ Located in Québec’s Lac-Saint-Jean region
✓ Supported by a defined NI 43-101 mineral resource

Vertical secured 100% ownership of St-Onge in 2021 after completing the final payment under its option agreement, with the associated quarry permits transferred to the company.

The project’s NI 43-101 resource includes 14.081 million tonnes Measured & Indicated at 36.61% wollastonite, plus 17.896 million tonnes Inferred at 40.25% wollastonite, at a 30% cut-off grade. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability.

St-Onge isn’t simply an exploration concept. It’s Vertical’s flagship asset.

🌎 CLIMATE FRIDAY | From Air to Mineral

What actually happens during Enhanced Rock Weathering?

It starts with something surprisingly simple: increasing the surface area of a naturally occurring silicate mineral.

When silicate rock such as wollastonite is crushed and exposed to rain and the atmosphere, natural weathering reactions accelerate. Rainwater interacts with atmospheric CO₂, and the resulting chemistry allows carbon to move through dissolved bicarbonate/carbonate pathways and, under suitable conditions, into stable mineral forms.

Vertical Exploration identifies the calcium-silicate chemistry of its St-Onge wollastonite as potentially well suited to this developing carbon-removal approach. In 2024, the company also entered an exclusivity agreement with an international entity specifically to explore ERW-focused carbon-removal applications for St-Onge wollastonite.

Crush → Weather → Mineralize

Sometimes climate technology begins with accelerating a process nature already performs.

🌱 FARMING WEDNESDAY | Certified for the Field

Moving a mineral from the quarry into agriculture requires more than potential—it requires the appropriate regulatory and organic-market approvals.

Vertical Exploration’s Global Wollastonite Agricultural Calcium Silicate from the St-Onge quarry has achieved an important trio:

CFIA — Vertical received a new five-year permit under Canada’s Fertilizers Act framework in December 2024.

OMRI — Listed for organic agricultural applications in both Canada and the United States.

Ecocert Canada — Approved as an input for organic agriculture and compliant with Canadian organic crop-production standards.

Together, these approvals give Vertical a pathway to pursue agricultural markets while providing farmers and agricultural partners with independently reviewed product credentials.

From Québec mineral resource to agricultural input.
