SALT
Market Opportunity
The Great Atlantic Salt Project is a top-tier high-grade salt asset strategically located next to a deep water port in western Newfoundland. This puts Great Atlantic and Atlas Salt in the middle of a robust eastern North America road salt market facing security of supply issues.






- Eastern North America relies heavily on overseas road salt imports to meet annual demand as no new mines have been built in the last 20 years
- Approximately 25 million tonnes of de-icing salt (150 pounds for every American) is scattered on U.S. roads annually
- The U.S. imports 7 to 10 million tonnes per year from Chile and North Africa
- Increasing shipping costs from overseas have become a major issue
- No economic substitutes or alternatives for road salt exist in most applications

How we use Salt
Road De-icing
The practice of removing snow or ice once it has bonded to the pavement.
Water Treatment
Salt for water treatment is applied in both industrial and domestic environments
Water Filtration
Saltwater pools are gentler on your body and clothing
Food Industry
Salt is perhaps most well-known for its roles as a flavoring agent and as a food preservative.
Pharmaceuticals
Without absorption, a drug cannot have a therapeutic effect, so some forms require a salt.
