The Great Atlantic Salt Deposit
-
NI-43-101 independently verified Inferred resource of 908 million tonnes grading 96.9% salt using a 95% NaCl cut-off grade (North American de-icing standard) as per table below
-
Resource modelling based on previous drilling indicates a “tremendous continuity” of the salt resource with an average gross thickness of 200 m
-
Distance to the top of the salt formation varies from 190 m to 400 m, making Great Atlantic the shallowest deposit of all rock salt deposits in North America
-
Great Atlantic and Compass Minerals’ Goderich mine (in operation since the 1950’s) share similar geological characteristics, though the mining depth at Goderich is 600 m under Lake Huron
Atlas Salt's Vision
-
Atlas Salt envisions an environmentally friendly, low-cost operation using the latest technologies in underground salt mining
-
This planned state-of-the-art “Salt Factory” would be a “disrupter”, the first new underground salt mine in North America in more than 20 years
-
Preliminary development evaluations are now premised on accessing Great Atlantic via an inclined ramp as opposed to vertical shaft access, subject to final geotechnical assessments
-
Great Atlantic is a homogeneous resource and therefore carries limited geological and development risks – no metallurgical or chemical processing issues typical with traditional metal deposits
-
Simple physical processing – mine, crush, screen and load – in a very favorable jurisdiction that’s eager to push additional industrial development
