Vulcan Minerals Inc. – Atlas Salt names Richard LaBelle new CEO

St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador - Vulcan Minerals Inc. (“the Company” -

“Vulcan” TSX-V: VUL), is pleased to announce that Atlas Salt Inc., an affiliated

company, has appointed Mr. Richard LaBelle as its new CEO and Director. Mr.

LaBelle has an impressive track record of successful management with 40 years

mining experience including 27 years at the executive level.

Patrick Laracy has resigned as CEO of Atlas after leading a successful search for a

new CEO to take Atlas through the next stage of its development. He will remain as

Chairman of Atlas with executive functions to ensure a seamless transition for Mr.

LaBelle and his team.

Patrick Laracy commented, “It is extremely satisfying to have a high

caliber developer and deal maker like Rick take the reins as CEO of Atlas. Rick

will put a team together quickly with the objective of extracting full shareholder

value for the Great Atlantic salt project. Vulcan discovered the Great Atlantic

development through the creation of Atlas Salt. This journey now enters the

project execution stage.”
