Nitrates were identified on Mars in 2015 by the Curiosity rover [1].

Up to 25% of the original atmospheric nitrogen of Mars might be stored on the Martian Cryolite (frozen surface), in molecules such as HNO3.[2]

Nitrates could serve as fertilizer, or as a source of nitrogen for the settlement atmosphere.
