What's Happening?
Atlas Salt Inc. is collaborating with Memorial University of Newfoundland on the Passive Array for Critical Minerals (PACMIN) project. This initiative aims to enhance understanding of Newfoundland's geological structures and tectonic processes. PACMIN, supported by Natural Resources Canada and other partners, has deployed 22 seismograph stations across Newfoundland to study ground vibrations and image the Earth's internal structure. The project seeks to identify critical minerals essential for transitioning to a greener economy, aligning with Atlas Salt's business objectives.

Why It's Important?
The PACMIN project is significant for advancing geological research and potentially uncovering valuable mineral resources in Newfoundland. By supporting this initiative, Atlas Salt is contributing to scientific knowledge and fostering economic opportunities in the region. The project's findings could facilitate sustainable mining practices and support the transition to renewable energy sources, benefiting both the local economy and broader environmental goals.
What's Next?
The PACMIN project is set to continue until the summer of 2027, with ongoing research and data collection. Atlas Salt's involvement may lead to further collaborations with academic institutions, enhancing its role in the mining community. The project's outcomes could influence future mining strategies and policies, impacting stakeholders in the mineral extraction and environmental sectors.
