The right deposit,
in the right place
Great Atlantic sits on Newfoundland's west coast, surrounded by the infrastructure a mine normally has to build — highway, hydro power, and a deepwater port, all within three kilometres.
Access to Major Markets
- US East Coast, Québec, New England & the Maritime provinces
- Reduced transport time and costs versus overseas supply
- Industry-leading GHG emissions per delivered tonne
Existing, Quality Infrastructure
- 3 km route to the Trans-Canada Highway
- Integrated oreflow logistics — automated conveyance to the port
- 1.4 km to the St. George's substation (66 kV line with capacity)
- Dedicated port facility 2 km away at Turf Point
Bay St. George: the deposit, Turf Point port, Port Harmon, and Stephenville Airport — one working corridor.

A mine designed
this decade
Most North American salt mines were engineered generations ago. Great Atlantic is being designed now — around battery-electric equipment, automated oreflow, and room to double.
The planned surface layout: compact footprint, enclosed conveyor to Turf Point, and underground mining & processing.
Continuous miners & battery-electric haulage
Large-scale continuous miners paired with battery-electric truck haulage — production methods chosen for the deposit, not adapted to it.
High performance, low emissions
Modern electric and battery-electric units reduce ventilation requirements underground — cutting both operating cost and energy demand.
Designed for BEVs from day one
The mine design and production methods are engineered specifically for battery-electric vehicles — not retrofitted around diesel.
Built to grow to 4.0 Mtpa
Key infrastructure is designed for 4.0 Mtpa — achievable by year 6 of commercial production. Three continuous miners, seven haul trucks, and a tertiary crusher support modular expansion, with 868 Mt of inferred resource behind it.
Best-in-industry
GHG intensity
An independent GHG study by Stantec (January 2024) benchmarked Great Atlantic against global mining — and set a new standard for what a mine's footprint can be.
CO₂e per year of direct (Scope 1) emissions — comparable to the annual footprint of four Newfoundland families of four
CO₂e per year of indirect (Scope 2) emissions — powered by clean Newfoundland hydro
CO₂e per Mt of production — and the 4.0 Mtpa expansion case drives intensity lower still
GHG intensity vs. global mining(t CO₂e / Mt ore)
Source: Stantec GHG study, January 2024; peer medians per Atlas Salt ESG reporting. Great Atlantic's projected intensity is roughly 100× lower than the evaporite peer median.
