agreement and 30 hectares of land in a tax free zone. Front End
Engineering Design studies have been completed and Heads of Terms

Costa Rica is a democratic Central American country. In
agriculture, Costa Rica is the second largest supplier of
pineapples in the world and is in the top ten banana
growers.
All power for ATOME is from 100%
