ST. JOHN’S, Newfoundland and Labrador, Oct. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Atlas Salt Inc. (TSXV: SALT) (OTCQB: REMRF) (the “Company” or “Atlas Salt”) is pleased to announce that its common shares are now DTC service eligible for electronic clearing and settlement through the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) in the United States.

DTC is a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation, a U.S. company that manages the electronic clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically cleared and settled through DTC are considered to be “DTC eligible”.

With DTC eligibility, existing investors benefit from potentially greater liquidity and execution speeds. This also opens the door to new investors that may have been previously restricted from the company’s common shares and greatly simplifies the process of trading common shares in the United States.

Atlas also recently upgraded from the OTC Pink Market to the OTCQB® Venture Market (“REMRF”) to complement its TSX Venture listing under the symbol “SALT”.

Mr. Rowland Howe, Atlas President, commented: “As we prepare to bring more American and global awareness to the premier undeveloped salt project in North America, DTC eligibility combined with our recent upgrade to the OTCQB represents Atlas’ commitment to increasing visibility and accessibility for existing shareholders in the United States and potential new investors there.”

Mr. Howe added, “We look forward to soon providing investors with a significant Great Atlantic Project update. More than ever it’s apparent that Great Atlantic has the potential to become a crown jewel in the heart of the robust North American road salt sector in the midst of a domestic production shortfall.”
