CEO.CA Chairman's Briefing

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - November 1, 2018) - Vendetta Mining Corp. (TSXV: VTT) ("Vendetta" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the signing of an amendment to its agreement with the vendor of the Pegmont Project, Pegmont Mines Ltd. ("Vendor").

To obtain 100% of the Pegmont Project the Company had to complete certain drilling milestones and make option payments and a pre-paid royalty payment, in doing so the Company would also obtain an AU$5,250,000 credit against future royalties.

To date, the Company has completed all necessary drilling requirements, work commitments and payments under the Option Agreement. The final AU$1 million option payment and the AU$3 million pre-payment of future royalties are due on November 6, 2018.

The Company will pay the Vendor the final AU$1 million cash option payment by the due date.

The Vendor has granted the Company an extension to the AU$3 Million payment, a pre-payment of future royalties from the Pegmont Project subject to certain additional payments as described below.

The Company is assessing several financing options for the pre-paid royalty, the extension provides time for that process to be completed, which includes in some cases, time needed for third parties to complete due diligence.

The Company and the Vendor will now seek indicative approval from the Queensland Minister for Natural Resources, Mines and Energy for transfer of the project to Vendetta.

Vendetta's CEO and President Michael Williams, stated: "we appreciate the flexibility that the extension provides. The spirit of the extension was to restore the original option agreement cash payments that were forgone by Pegmont Mines Ltd. in 2015 due to the difficult market conditions that prevailed at the time. Then as now, both parties understand the benefit of directing cash towards advancing the project which ultimately is to everyone's advantage ".

About Pegmont

Pegmont is a stratiform, Broken Hill-Type deposit that outcrops with an overall shallow dip to the south east and is hosted in a magnetite-rich banded iron formation within high grade metamorphic rocks. The project consists of three granted mining leases and one exploration permit that cover an area of approximately 8,290 ha.

Pegmont is situated in the Mount Isa - McArthur Mineral Province, which hosts one of the world's richest endowments of lead-zinc-silver mineralization, including several world-class lead-zinc-silver mines.

Pegmont is located 25 km west of South 32's Cannington silver-lead-zinc operation, one of the world's largest producers of lead and silver and 28 km north of Chinova Resources' Osborne copper-gold operations. Pegmont is proximal to existing infrastructure including public roads, mine haul roads, rail, and a natural gas pipe line for power generation.

The Company is progressing a Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") of the Pegmont Project, which is contemplating a stand-alone operation, processing ore at a rate of 1 Mtpa, producing separate lead and zinc concentrates. The basis of the PEA is the updated Mineral Resource Estimate, with an effective date of July 31, 2018, see below.

July 2018 Mineral Resource Estimate (see notes for details)

Notes on the above table:

1. CIM Definition Standards (2014) were used to report the Mineral Resources.
2. The Mineral Resource update has been prepared by independent qualified persons ("QPs") J.M. Shannon P.Geo, D Nussipakynova P.Geo, M. Angus MAIG, P. Lebleu P.Eng, of AMC and A Riles MAIG, of Riles Integrated Resource Management Pty Ltd., and has an effective date of July 31, 2018.
3. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of mineral resources will be converted to mineral reserves. Quantity and grades are estimates and are rounded to reflect the fact that the resource estimate is an approximation.
4. Using drilling results up to April 15, 2018.
5. Cut-off grade applied to the open pit Mineral Resources is 3% Pb+Zn and that applied to the underground is 5% Pb+Zn.
6. Based on the following metal prices: US$0.95/lb for Pb, US$1.05/lb for Zn, and US$16.5/oz for silver.
7. Exchange rate of US$0.75 : A$1.00
8. Metallurgical recoveries vary by zone and material type as follows:

• Lead to lead concentrate: from 80.6% to 91.3% for transition and 88.0% to 92.7% for sulphide.
• Zinc to zinc concentrate: from 19.3% to 75.2% for transition and 61.8% to 78.5% for sulphide.

9. Mineral Resource tonnages have been rounded to reflect the accuracy of the estimate, and numbers may not add due to rounding.
