Atlas Salt Corporate Update
May 18 2023 - 4:10PM
Atlas Salt (the “Company” or “Atlas” -
TSXV: SALT; OTCQB: REMRF; FSE: 9D00), 100% owner of North
America’s premier undeveloped high-grade salt project on the west
coast of Newfoundland, is pleased to provide the following
corporate update:
Great Atlantic Project
Atlas has completed a successful 4-hole
geotechnical drill program at Great Atlantic aimed at providing
valuable additional information on the underground decline route
and surface portal entry for the first North American salt deposit
to be accessed through inclined ramps vs. vertical shafts.
Mr. Rowland Howe, President of Atlas Salt,
commented: “This latest work further supports Great Atlantic as a
unique asset in the North American road salt market. Given the
conservative assumptions in the Preliminary Economic Assessment,
this data will assist in the process of optimizing the Feasibility
Study.”
Hole D-1, approximately midway along the decline
route, was cored to a depth of 159 meters in order to obtain core
samples in the sedimentary section above the salt horizon. The hole
had excellent core recovery and results are expected to further
de-risk underground access to the high-grade salt deposit.
In addition, the program included three shallow
holes at the proposed surface entry point for the declines, the
“boxcut”. The holes were drilled over a fence line approximately
200 meters long in order to determine the overburden thickness and
rock properties of the surficial till deposits overlying the
sedimentary bedrock. Compared to the Great Atlantic exploration
holes, these holes encountered a relatively thin overburden with
thicknesses of 9.45 m, 8.85 m and
13 m, respectively. This data will direct the
location and configuration of the actual boxcut which, ideally, is
located to minimize overburden excavation, retainment and
associated costs.
CEO Search
The search for a new Chief Executive Officer has
been aggressively led by a top tier Canadian recruitment agency and
resulted in applications from dozens of potential candidates,
followed by an intensive due diligence process to prioritize these
individuals. The selection process has been narrowed down to a
short list of exceptional candidates who are being reviewed by
Atlas for a final decision.
Triple Point Resources Ltd.
Atlas Salt owns 27.45 million shares or
approximately 27.5% of Triple Point Resources Ltd. (TPR) which was
spun out of Atlas in the fall of 2022. Triple Point, which intends
to complete a listing on the CSE this year, has made strong
progress in recent months at advancing the Fischell’s Brook Salt
Dome approximately 15 km south of Great Atlantic as part of
Newfoundland’s proposed “Clean Energy Hub”. Atlas has been informed
by Triple Point that TPR will be providing an update on Fischell’s
Brook to shareholders in the near future.
