Atlas Salt Featured in Canada Investment
Summit Prospectus Providing Direct Exposure
to Global Investors
St. George's, Newfoundland and Labrador--(Newsfile Corp. - September 16, 2026) - Atlas Salt Inc.
(TSXV: SALT) (OTCQX: SALQF) (FSE: 9D00) ("Atlas Salt" or the "Company") is pleased to
acknowledge its inclusion in the Canada Investment Summit Prospectus and attendance at the Welcome
Reception on September 13, 2026, at the invitation of the Government of Canada, PSP Investments,
and CPP Investments.
The Canada Investment Summit (the "Summit") represented a first-of-its-kind national investment forum
hosted by the Prime Minister of Canada in partnership with CPP Investments and PSP Investments. The
event brought together leading global investors, Canadian executives, institutional capital providers, and
public sector leaders to accelerate investment into Canada and showcase some of the country's most
compelling growth opportunities. Having taken place in Toronto on September 14 and 15, 2026, the
Summit focused on mobilizing long-term capital, advancing strategic projects, strengthening supply
chains, and supporting economic growth across Canada.
Atlas Salt's inclusion in the official Summit Prospectus positioned the Great Atlantic Salt Project (the
"Project") alongside a select group of strategic Canadian investment opportunities presented directly to
international investors, while its invitation to the Summit's Welcome Reception provided a unique
opportunity to engage directly with senior government officials, institutional investors, and global capital
partners. This recognition offers several strategic implications, including:
Enhanced Government Recognition:
Reinforces Atlas Salt's growing profile as a compelling
and nationally significant Canadian development project.
Expanded Investor Exposure:
Increases visibility among leading global institutional investors,
infrastructure funds, pension plans, lenders, and strategic partners actively seeking long-term
investments in Canada.
Project Financing Support:
This enhanced visibility comes as Atlas Salt advances its project
financing efforts following the announcement of more than C$300 million in non-binding financing
interest, further strengthening engagement with prospective capital providers and funding partners.
Nolan Peterson, CEO of Atlas Salt, commented:
"We are honoured that the Great Atlantic Salt Project has been recognized through the Canada
Investment Summit and are grateful for Prime Minster Mark Carney and the Government of
Canada's commitment to championing investment, economic growth, and nation-building
projects to a global audience. We extend our thanks to the Government of Newfoundland and
Labrador for its ongoing support, including nominating our project for inclusion in the Canada
Investment Summit Prospectus and advocating on its behalf during the Summit.
The Summit highlighted the opportunity for both International and Canadian sources of long-
term capital to participate in the development of strategic projects, recognizing that strong
domestic engagement can serve as a powerful signal in attracting broader investment from
around the world.
As we advance toward a full construction financing package, the Summit and associated events
provided a platform to showcase the Great Atlantic Salt Project as we engaged with leading
institutional financial partners and government stakeholders from Canada and around the world.
This recognition reflects the growing importance of the Project and the hard work of our team,
stakeholders, and partners."
The Great Atlantic Salt Project is on track to become one of North America's largest salt-producing
operations and is positioned to serve key markets throughout Eastern Canada and the Northeastern
United States. The Project benefits from exceptional logistics, proximity to major demand centers, and a
long-life resource base capable of supporting decades of production.
Atlas Salt believes participation in the Canada Investment Summit further strengthened the Company's
visibility among the financial and strategic stakeholders that can play a significant role in the Project's
next phase of growth.
