Mr. Richard LaBelle reports
SHAREHOLDERS APPROVE ALL RESOLUTIONS AND ELECT MR. MARC
BOISSONNEAULT AS A NEW DIRECTOR
Atlas Salt Inc. shareholders approved all resolutions at the annual general and special
meeting of shareholders today in St. John's. All individuals nominated for the board of directors were
elected, being Rick LaBelle, Patrick Laracy, Rowland Howe, Carson Noel, Fraser Edison and Marc
Boissonneault.
The company welcomes Mr. Boissonneault, PEng, MBA, to the board. Mr. Boissonneault is an
accomplished mining industry professional with extensive experience in leading major mining
operations and capital projects in a global context. He has a proven record of consistently
delivering strong operating and capital project results while maintaining the highest standards of HSEC (health, safety, environment and community).
Businesses under his responsibility were recognized for industry-leading safety performance (multiple
John T. Ryan Awards in Canada) and have performed to the highest standards environmentally. Over
his considerable 35-year career he has overseen the operation of nine underground mines, two open-pit mine complexes and five mining projects, with several being based in logistically challenging
jurisdictions. Mr. Boissonneault's career included roles with Falconbridge, Xstrata and Glencore, where
he was head of global nickel assets, responsible for the company's global nickel operations, including a
capital expenditure program of $3-billion. Mr. Boissonneault is also a director at Invest Ontario, holds
an engineering degree from McMaster University and an MBA from Queen's University. In addition, Mr.
Boissonneault is a professional engineer licensed by the Professional Engineers of Ontario.
The company also acknowledges former director John Anderson for his contributions over the last
three years and wishes him continued success in his other business endeavours, including his role as
chairman of Triple Point Resources Ltd., an affiliated company, as it pursues underground storage
opportunities for the Fischell's salt dome project, approximately 15 kilometres south of Atlas's Great
Atlantic salt development in western Newfoundland.
Shareholders also appointed MNP LLP Chartered Accountants as its auditor for 2023, and approved the
company's amended stock option plan and a new equity incentive plan, subject
to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The aggregate number of common shares that may be
reserved for issuance under the plans must not exceed 10 per cent of the company's issued and outstanding
common shares at the date of grant or issuance of any security-based compensation under the plans.
The equity incentive plan allows for the granting of restricted share units, deferred share units and
performance share units to attract, retain and motivate qualified directors, employees and consultants
of the company, and to reward such of those directors, employees and consultants, from time to time,
for their contributions toward the long-term goals and success of the company.
Shareholders also approved the ratification of the grant of certain preferred share units and restricted
share units as set out in the 2023 management information circular dated Nov. 3, 2023, and filed
under Atlas Salt's profile on SEDAR+.
