Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 14th, 2023 – Atco Mining Inc. (the “Company& or “Atco&) (CSE:ATCM); (OTC:ATMGF); (Frankfurt:QP9) is pleased to announce that it has completed the 3-D geological model of the Company&s Flat Bay Salt Project. The work was completed by the Company's contracted consulting partner, RESPEC Consulting Inc., a global leader in geology, geophysical and engineering work with direct experience in underground hydrogen storage caverns.

RESPEC analyzed the gravity and 2-D seismic data provided by Atco to build a 3-D geology model of the apparent salt structure at the Flat Bay Project site in Southwestern Newfoundland. The 3D model is used for: (1) the placement of future core well locations; (2) defining the dimensions (i.e., the extent and thickness) of the salt structure; (3) estimating the potential number of salt caverns that could be developed within the property; and (4) estimating the potential amount of hydrogen that could be stored in salt caverns in the project area. Based on the interpretation of the ground gravity and seismic data related to the project, as well as the 3-D geological model, the maximum thickness of the salt structure is identified to be approximately 1,700 metres (“m&), suggesting that salt caverns with volume in excess of 2 million cubic metres per cavern can be solution mined within the property..

RESPEC is currently working on estimating the total number of caverns that could potentially be solution mined in the salt structure and the potential total hydrogen storage capacity of the cavern field.

Highlights:

  • Ground gravity and 2-D seismic data were used to interpret the evaporite geology and build a 3-D geological model of the apparent salt structure at the Flat Bay Project site;

  • The maximum thickness of the salt structure is identified to be approximately 1,700 m;

  • Hydrogen storage salt caverns exceeding a storage volume of 2 million cubic metres per cavern could potentially be developed within the property;

  • The apparent salt structure spans an area of approximately 4,000 m by 2,500 m

Jai Duhan, Subsurface Energy Storage Consultant at RESPEC, comments, “The 3-D geology modeling of the salt structure has allowed us to understand the extent and thickness of the apparent salt structure. RESPEC is currently working on estimating the preliminary hydrogen storage capacity of the cavern field and is looking forward to assisting ATCO Mining in defining the appropriate next steps in the exploration program.&

Natural resources investments are generally volatile, with higher headline risk than other sectors. They tend to be more sensitive to economic data, political and regulatory events, and underlying commodity prices. The prices of natural resources investments are influenced by factors such as the costs of underlying commodities like oil, gas, metals, and coal. These investments may trade on various exchanges and experience price fluctuations due to short-term demand, supply, and investment flows.

Natural resource investments often respond more sensitively to global events and economic data, including natural disasters, political turmoil, pandemics, or the release of employment data.

Investing in foreign markets may carry greater risks than domestic markets, including political, currency, economic, and market risks. It is essential to evaluate if trading in low-priced and international securities is appropriate for your circumstances and financial resources. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

No investment process is risk-free, and profitability is not guaranteed; investors may lose their entire investment. No investment strategy or risk management technique can guarantee returns or eliminate risk in any market environment. Diversification does not ensure a profit or protect against loss. Investing in foreign securities involves risks not associated with domestic investments, such as currency fluctuations, political and economic instability, and differing accounting standards, potentially leading to greater share price volatility. The prices of small- and mid-cap company stocks generally experience higher volatility than large-company stocks and may involve higher risks. Smaller companies may lack the management expertise, financial resources, product diversification, and competitive strengths needed to withstand adverse economic conditions.
