Atco Mining Inc. announced that along with its contracted consultant partners, RESPEC Consulting Inc. ("RESPEC"), it completed a 2D seismic interpretation on the Flat Bay Salt Project (the "Project"), located in the St. Georges Bay Basin in Southwestern Newfoundland, locating at least one salt structure prospective for halite exploration, the mineral form of sodium chloride or road salt. The 2D seismic data shows the potential presence of a salt structure within the project boundary.

The preliminary seismic data interpretation findings align with gravity lows and are potentially indicative of salt in the subsurface. RESPEC is currently combining the seismic and gravity data to create a 3D geological model of the salt structure. The 3D model will be used for the placement of future core well locations and will define the dimensions of the salt structure.
