Nolan K. Peterson, MBA, CFA, P.Eng, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Atlas Salt Inc., joins Steve Yang to discuss the Great Atlantic Salt Project in western Newfoundland and the investment case behind a large-scale North American road-salt development. Peterson explains why North America remains structurally short of salt, why imported supply from places such as Chile and Egypt helps set the market, and how Great Atlantic’s proximity to an ice-free deep-water port could create a logistics advantage. He also discusses project infrastructure, environmental assessment approval, community and Indigenous support, salt purity, feasibility work, and the company’s path toward development. The conversation covers a roughly 25-year reserve-backed mine life and approximately C$200 million in annual after-tax free cash flow as described in the interview, along with the scale of the broader salt resource. Peterson also walks through his personal share ownership, Atlas Salt’s capital structure, recent financings, institutional interest, valuation comparisons using EV/EBITDA, and the barriers that have kept new salt mines from being built in North America. The interview closes with the project’s planned battery-electric operations, hydro power access, cost structure, and the factors management believes could support long-term margins. #Millettian
