Atlas Salt Inc. Faces Extended Review Period for Great Atlantic Salt Project Registration

Atlas Salt Inc., the company at the forefront of developing Canada's next significant salt mine, has announced a delay in the decision-making process for the Great Atlantic Salt Project's environmental impact assessment. The Minister of Environment and Climate Change has requested an extension, agreeing with Atlas Salt, to allow more time to review the Project Registration Document under the Newfoundland and Labrador Environmental Protection Act. A determination is now anticipated by April 19, 2024.

This extension is a pivotal stage in the project's development, critical for financing, construction, and expected to enhance shareholder value. Atlas Salt's registration document underscores its commitment to sustainable mining practices, community involvement, and strategies designed to mitigate environmental impact. Furthermore, the project is projected to make a significant contribution to the local and regional economies while creating numerous skilled employment opportunities.

Atlas Salt continues to emphasize its dedication to responsible and innovative mining techniques, aiming to strengthen the North American salt market responsibly. For more information on the project and future updates, stakeholders are encouraged to visit the company's website.
