- Advancing a large-scale underground salt mine. Atlas is developing the Great Atlantic Salt Project (“Great Atlantic” or “the Project”) as a large-scale underground operation intended to become a meaningful source of supply in North America. The Company’s investment case is built around converting its large, high-purity resource base into a long-life producing asset.
- Strategically positioned for the North American road salt market. Atlas emphasizes Great Atlantic’s location and logistics as a potential advantage in serving a road salt market that is heavily reliant on imports. A domestic, scalable supply option can be valuable in a market shaped by winter demand cycles, freight costs, and supply reliability.
- Built around existing infrastructure. Great Atlantic benefits from proximity to the Turf Point deepwater port, highway access, and grid power, which the Company views as practical advantages for schedule, cost control, and reliability into end markets.
- Feasibility work supports the economic and cash flow narrative. The feasibility study is the foundation for the Project’s economic case and cash flow profile, supporting a move into later-stage development work and financing discussions.
- Permitting progress supports an execution pathway. Great Atlantic has cleared key provincial review steps and received approval for early works activities, which helps narrow the permitting pathway and supports a more execution-oriented development plan.
- Value creation driven by milestone-based de-risking. Atlas positions Great Atlantic as a project where the market can re-rate as development risks are reduced over time. The Company’s focus is on achieving key technical, commercial, engineering, and financing milestones that can improve certainty around costs, schedule, and execution.
- Expansion potential offers upside beyond the base plan. Atlas highlights the opportunity to increase value if mine life can be extended and production expanded over time. This matters because salt assets can benefit from scale and longevity, and incremental tonnage and/or longer operating periods can amplify cash flow and project NPV, assuming execution and market conditions cooperate.
- Experienced leadership team with stated alignment to execution. The Company’s leadership team has the experience to move a project from development into construction, with a plan centered on achieving milestones. The Company frames management’s role as maintaining momentum while controlling risk as the project advances.
- Meaningful insider ownership. Atlas reports >40% insider ownership, which the Company presents as strong alignment with shareholders. High insider ownership can also influence trading dynamics and available float.
- Clean balance sheet supports continued advancement. As of mid-Q4, Atlas reported C$10.4 million of net cash following its October 2025 financing. The Company has no general warrant overhang, other than broker compensation warrants.
