American Marconi Wireless News - Atlas Salt Submits Early Works Development Plan for Great Atlantic Salt Project

The submission of the Early Works Development Plan marks a critical milestone in advancing the Project toward construction. This plan outlines the phased approach for site preparation and early-stage infrastructure development, ensuring regulatory compliance while de-risking key project components ahead of full-scale mine construction.

Key Components of the Early Works Development Plan

• Site Preparation: Clearing and grubbing activities, stockpile pad grading, and initial earthworks to establish the mine site footprint.

• Primary and Secondary Access Roads: Construction of a 1.3 km primary access road from Steel Mountain Road and a 300 m secondary access route along the planned conveyor corridor.

• Surface Infrastructure: Development of laydown areas, temporary construction facilities, and essential utilities to support subsequent project phases.

• Sediment and Erosion Control Measures: Implementation of stormwater management systems, catchment ditches, and a temporary settling basin to mitigate environmental impacts.

• Regulatory Compliance and Permitting: Submission of required approvals for road access, site disturbance, and water management infrastructure, ensuring alignment with provincial environmental guidelines.

The Early Works Development Plan enables Atlas Salt to initiate critical site activities ahead of full project execution, accelerating timelines for major construction phases. By proactively addressing key infrastructure and environmental management requirements, the Company aims to optimize the transition into mine development while maintaining a rigorous approach to regulatory compliance.

Richard LaBelle, CEO of Atlas Salt, commented: "The submission of the Early Works Development Plan represents another significant step in de-risking the Great Atlantic Salt Project and positioning Atlas Salt as a leading low-cost producer in the North American salt market. This milestone ensures we remain on track for the timely development of critical project infrastructure, paving the way for commercial production."

Pending governmental review and approval, Early Works construction is expected to commence in 2025, with subsequent phases progressing in alignment with the overall project schedule.
