Atlas Salt is Advancing the Great Atlantic Salt Project with an Updated Feasibility Study
ST. JOHN'S, NF AND LABRADOR / / June 9, 2025 / Atlas Salt Inc. ("Atlas Salt" or the "Company") (TSXV:SALT)(OTCQB:REMRF) is advancing an Updated Feasibility Study (the "UFS" or "FUS") for the Great Atlantic Salt Project (the "Project") in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. Building on the Feasibility Study completed in 2023, this UFS will incorporate significant advancements and optimizations to enhance the Project's development strategy. The UFS will focus on optimizing the production rate while balancing capital expenditure, refining mine planning parameters, and integrating recently completed technical studies to improve operational efficiency and economic outcomes; with the ultimate objective of supporting ongoing financing activities. Key Objectives of the Updated Feasibility Study Production Optimization: Assessment of an increased, optimized production rate taking into consideration mine design, throughput capabilities, and market alignment. Refined Mine Plan and Scheduling: Incorporation of updated geotechnical findings, ventilation, and infrastructure requirements to support an efficient development timeline. Processing and Product Mix Enhancements: Refinements to the fines segregation circuit to accommodate both screened mediums for commercial contracts and ASTM D632 bulk road salt, enhancing market flexibility. Integration of Sandvik Mining Equipment: Advancing our memorandum of understanding with Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions ("Sandvik") through optimization of underground operations by implementing Sandvik Mining Equipment to improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. Updated Economic Analysis: A revised financial model, including updated capital and operating cost estimates, cash flow projections, and key economic indicators such as Net Present Value (NPV) and Internal Rate of Return (IRR). Regulatory Compliance and Permitting Integration: Inclusion of all post-Environmental Assessment release conditions to ensure seamless regulatory alignment. SLR Consulting Ltd. ("SLR"), the lead consultant on the original Feasibility Study, brings extensive experience in mineral resource and reserve assessments, underground mine design, and NI 43-101 Technical Reports.
