Why Overseas Producers Can't Undercut Atlas Salt, Even for Free

Cities are already running short on road salt, and winter hasn't even started. Some supply bids are going unanswered, prices have nearly doubled in parts of the market, and the backup plan is two weeks away by boat. Here's why Atlas Salt (TSXV: SALT | OTCQX: SALQF) can get salt to the people who need it most, faster and cheaper than anyone shipping from overseas: 

• Three days by ship to Boston, not fourteen

• Shallow deposit that's cheaper and faster to mine

• Projected C$188M a year in free cash flow

• Export Development Canada interested in lending C$150M

• Early supply deal with top U.S. salt distributor

KEY STATS 📊

  • First half: 29 points, 15 rebounds, 5 blocks, the first 25-10-5 half in the play-by-play era

  • Spurs: 6-2, six straight wins, Wembanyama averaging 32.5 in the streak

THE STORY 🗞️

Victor Wembanyama played Wednesday with a virus and still put up a line that sounds made up. Fifty-two points. Twenty-four rebounds. Eight blocks. He had 29, 15 and 5 by half-time, the first 25-10-5 half in the play-by-play era.

Dallas erased a 19-point deficit, led 103-100, and tied it 111-111 with 1:41 left. Wembanyama rolled his ankle in the fourth, sat for three minutes, then came back and hit the free throw that put San Antonio ahead for good. Kyrie Irving missed at the other end.

The Spurs have now won six straight. A four-game road swing starts Friday at Sacramento.

OUR TAKE 🐶

Career nights usually come when everything is clean. This one came with a virus, an ankle roll and a Mavericks comeback. That is the scary part for the rest of the West.

San Antonio is 6-2 and Wembanyama is averaging 32.5 across the streak. The road trip will show whether this is a hot week or a new baseline.
