Vertical Exploration Inc. received approval from the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for its newly branded Global Wollastonite Agricultural Calcium Silicate product that is produced at the Company's St-Onge quarry in Quebec. The prestigious OMRI accreditation was received by Vertical in both Canada and the USA for the Permitted Substances Category of Mined Minerals and three classes including: Crop Fertilizers and Soil Amendments; Crop Management Tools and Production Aids; and Crop Pest, Weed, and Disease Control. The OMRI listing now creates significant new opportunities for Vertical to pursue and entertain domestic and international partnerships, joint ventures and revenue opportunities for its Global Wollastonite product.

OMRI has now reviewed Vertical's Global Wollastonite Agricultural Calcium Silicate in conjunction with both the Canadian Organic Regime and USDA National Organic Program regulations.
