[{"type":"text","content":"Atlas Salt Completes Geotechnical Drilling and In-Field Data Collection for Great Atlantic Salt ProjectST. JOHN'S, NL / ACCESS Newswire / April 14, 2025 / Atlas Salt Inc. (\"Atlas Salt\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV:SALT)(OTCQB:REMRF) is pleased to announce the successful completion of the geotechnical drilling and in-field data collection phase of its Geotechnical Drilling and Investigation Program at the Great Atlantic Salt Project in western Newfoundland. Data analysis and reporting activities remain underway, with final results anticipated in Q3 2025.Geotechnical Drilling and Investigation Program MilestonesCompletion of Fieldwork: The Company has finalized all drilling and in-field geotechnical data acquisition along the proposed decline path, gathering critical information on rock quality, structural conditions, and groundwater characteristics.Data Analysis: The evaluation of core samples, core logging and hydrogeological data has commenced and will continue over the coming months. A geotechnical and hydrogeological report will guide the next stages of detailed design and construction.Risk, Safety and Efficiency: The program's findings significantly de-risks the project and will be used to refine strategies for decline construction and decline dewatering, reducing geotechnical risks and ensuring a more efficient underground mine development process.Robert Booth, Vice President of Construction & Engineering for Atlas Salt, commented: \"Completing the field portion of our Geotechnical Drilling and Investigation Program on schedule is a major achievement for the Great Atlantic Salt Project. The data we've collected will help us make informed decisions that reduce risk, and enhance both safety and cost efficiency as we move toward construction.\"The Company, in collaboration with Terrane Geoscience Inc. and GEMTEC Consulting Engineers and Scientists Ltd, will now focus on interpreting the data collected, incorporating it into detailed design parameters for the decline and box cut. This crucial process, which is expected to conclude in Q3 2025, lays the groundwork for a safe and robust capital development plan that meets the Company's technical, environmental, and operational objectives.For further information and ongoing updates, please visit https://atlassalt.com.The scientific and technical information contained in this new...
