Vertical Exploration Inc., a Canadian mineral exploration company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, has recently completed a significant corporate transaction. On 13 August 2025, the company finalized an offtake agreement and completed the initial sale of its St‑Onge wollastonite asset. This strategic move is part of Vertical Exploration Inc.’s ongoing efforts to optimize its portfolio of mineral resources, which primarily includes iron ore and copper.
As of the close of trading on 14 January 2026, the company’s share price stood at 0.05 CAD. This price point is notably below the 52-week high of 0.08 CAD, achieved on 23 March 2025, but remains above the 52-week low of 0.03 CAD, recorded on 2 February 2025. The stock’s current trading level represents approximately 56% of its 52-week peak and 150% of its lowest point within the same period.
The company’s market capitalization is valued at 7,650,000 CAD. Despite the recent sale of the St‑Onge asset, which may enhance short-term liquidity, the transaction does not significantly alter the company’s underlying valuation profile. The price-to-earnings ratio stands at -16.67, indicating that the company is currently operating at a loss. However, the price-to-book ratio is 1.49, suggesting that the market values the firm slightly above its book equity.
Vertical Exploration Inc.’s recent activities and financial metrics reflect a company in a transitional phase, focusing on strategic asset management and exploration within Canada. The sale of the St‑Onge asset is a key component of this strategy, potentially providing the company with the necessary liquidity to pursue further exploration and development opportunities. As the company continues to navigate the challenges of the mineral exploration sector, its ability to leverage its existing assets and explore new opportunities will be critical to its future growth and valuation.
