SALT PRESS RELEASE Dec 9. PMRoland Howe's comments in tonights presser:
Mr. Rowland Howe, President of Atlas Salt, commented: “SLR is conducting a rigorous independent economic valuation of this exciting project and we eagerly anticipate a PEA in January followed by the Feasibility Study. As a homogeneous deposit, with similar DNA to Goderich in southern Ontario where I was mine manager for many years, salt cores at Great Atlantic are showing great consistency with some of the best cores I’ve seen in my 30-year career in the industry.”
Mr. Howe continued, “The shallowness of the Great Atlantic deposit is one of its most important distinguishing features. In a sector dominated by ageing mines, almost all of which are more than half a century old, Great Atlantic through the latest technology will be designed to operate like a highly efficient ‘Salt Factory’ serving eastern Canada and the U.S. eastern seaboard. The low-cost producer always has the edge. Given its many attributes Great Atlantic clearly has the potential to become the biggest and best underground salt mine in the world.”
