Atlas Salt: A Defensive Stock Opportunity with Growth Potential

Materials

Atlas Salt | Listed on: (TSXV: SALT) (OTCQB: REMRF)

Atlas Salt presents a compelling defensive stock opportunity driven by strong market demand, required mining infrastructure, and sustainable growth potential. The company has a remarkable asset in its Great Atlantic deposit, which contains an estimated 860 million tonnes of high-purity Rock Salt.

Newfoundland-based Atlas Salt Inc. (TSXV: SALT) (OTCQB: REMRF) offers a unique opportunity as a defensive stock opportunity with growth potential. It is a pure salt play on a North American stock exchange, and no deposit other than Atlas’ Great Atlantic could soon bring a much-needed new domestic road salt supply to North America.

The company has a clear focus on completing the Great Atlantic Salt Project. With an experienced leadership team and a strategic plan in place, Atlas Salt is committed to bringing North America’s first new underground salt mine in over 20 years to full production.

The company envisions that this salt will be used for road de-icing and shipped to the high-potential markets of the US East Coast, Québec, New England, and the Maritime Provinces from a dedicated port facility near the mine.

This exciting project will enhance the security of supply for North America, reducing reliance on costly imports. Atlas is determined to lead the way in sustainable, low-cost production, positioning itself as a vital player in the salt industry for decades to come.

Atlas Salt’s Great Atlantic Salt Project stands out for multiple reasons:

A product with stable prices and increasing market demand.
The first new underground salt mine in North America in over 20 years.
A world-class resource set in a strategic location close to key markets.
An innovative design that will use the latest, state-of-the-art mining technology.
A focus on sustainability, with extremely low greenhouse gas emissions.
50% of its production is already allocated to a strategic offtake agreement.
The potential to provide a $4.8 billion boost to regional GDP.

Innovative Mine Design

Atlas Salt’s Great Atlantic mine is marching toward construction with plans in place for an innovative and environmentally friendly design. Using large-scale continuous miners and battery-electric truck haulage, the company is employing technological innovations with scalable production potential.

State-of-the-art mining equipment includes electric and battery-electric units, ensuring high performance, low emissions, and reduced ventilation requirements. This forward-thinking approach to mine design is sure to enhance operational efficiency and align with energy-efficient practices in the mining industry.

Atlas has already lined up Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions as its preferred equipment supplier and integrated project delivery partner³. Their battery-electric fleet plans include continuous miners, haul trucks, scooptrams, and an AutoMine® system with tele-remote and autonomous operation¹.

Additionally, the mine’s adaptive infrastructure and modular expansion capability underscore its ability to grow to achieve expansionary goals of 4.0 million metric tons per annum (Mtpa) of production¹.

Atlas Salt is aiming for long-term success in the mining sector. The project’s extensive inferred mineral resources total 868 million tonnes¹, and the leadership team has a realistic expectation of extending the life of the mine beyond 34 years¹.

A Strong Investment Case

Eastern North America continues to rely heavily on overseas imports to meet annual road salt demand of approximately 25 million tonnes⁴. That’s why Atlas Salt’s Great Atlantic Salt Project looks destined to play a major part in ensuring that roads, highways and sidewalks are as accessible as possible during winter – saving lives and maintaining economic activity.

Envisioning the success of The Great Atlantic Salt Project is easy when considering its incredible combination of innovative mine design and compelling project economics. It’s also backed by a leadership team with proven success, presenting a very strong investment proposition.

Atlas has been substantially de-risked⁵ across multiple investing metrics – commodity type, location and jurisdiction, management, geology, mining approach, community engagement and environmental credentials.

Additionally, the expectation that The Great Atlantic Salt Project can displace foreign suppliers effectively, means it presents a compelling opportunity to investors looking for exciting growth prospects.

Reasons to Invest

Premier Asset and Infrastructure

A Feasibility Study valued the project at over $550 million (after-tax NPV at 8%) with a projected 34-year mine life. De-risking strategies support an expansion case.
