“This is a strategic acquisition for us as we look to establish ourselves in the St. Georges Bay Basin in Newfoundland” says Christopher Cooper, CFO of Atco Mining. “We’re looking forward to start exploring these areas for both potential salt domes and for its hydrogen storage potential. In addition, our team is looking to assess all available historical data on the previous hole drilled on our Blue Moon South Project to gather as much information as possible to better formulate our exploration plans going forward. I look forward to keeping investors informed and updated as we work to create value for our investors.”

 

Grant of Restricted Share Units

 

The Company also announces that its board of directors has approved the adoption of a new incentive plan (the “Incentive Plan”) for the Company which permits the grant of restricted share units (“RSUs”) to directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company.  The Incentive Plan permits the Company to reserve up to 2,500,000 common shares to be issued upon the vesting of RSUs granted under the Incentive Plan.

 

Initially, the Company has granted 400,000 RSUs to certain directors of the Company as compensation for ongoing services rendered to the Company.  Each RSU represents the right to receive, upon vesting, one common share in the Capital of the Company.  The RSUs granted by the Company will vest on April 5th, 2023, subject to the continued involvement of the directors.
