Arianne Phosphate Is Providing A Safe And Secure Alternative To Chinese Phosphate Close To Home

(NewsDirect)

Phosphate production
and concentrate reserves are spread across China, Russia, the Middle
East and North Africa.

China
is the largest exporter of phosphate

fertilizer, with Russia
not far behind. The largest phosphate concentrate reserves, which are
necessary for the production of LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate)
batteries, are in Morocco followed by other Middle Eastern and North
African (MENA) countries. These LFP batteries are becoming prominent
in EVs (electric vehicles) as well as energy storage systems. The West
has typically relied on these suppliers for its phosphate but as
geopolitical concerns emerge, many North American and European
companies are eager to have a phosphate source closer to home.

China and Russia have
recently suspended or minimized exports of phosphate, which is proving
problematic to the supply chain and for manufacturers relying on
Chinese phosphate. Similarly, the phosphate concentrates in the Middle
East and North Africa are dependent on geopolitical stability that is
often fluctuating.

When you take all
these factors into consideration, it’s apparent that the phosphate
market is in need of a Western supplier that is stable, high quality
and addresses environmental concerns.

Canada-Based Arianne
Phosphate Checks All The Boxes

Arianne Phosphate Inc.

(OTCMKTS: DRRSF) is a
promising phosphate mining company that can help meet the growing
demand for phosphate used in batteries and fertilizer. The company’s
Lac à Paul project in Quebec, Canada, is a response to the growing
global demand for phosphate, which is increasing by

2% to 3% each
year

for agricultural demand and, could be considerably higher
when LFP batteries are taken into account.

The Canada-based company
adheres to stricter environmental, social and corporate standards,
aligning with North American and European agendas, and is setting
itself apart from Chinese, Russian and MENA competitors.

One major edge Arianne
says it has is, deposit is igneous which allows it to produce a
concentrate higher than 90% of the world’s phosphate, which is
housed in sedimentary rock. This allows Arianne to produce a
high-purity and low-contaminant phosphate concentrate ideal for use in
batteries and fertilizer.

Arianne is also dedicated to sustainable practices to help
offset the carbon footprint of processes within the supply chain. For
example, battery production is an energy-intensive process so it is
crucial to minimize carbon emissions as much as possible during
phosphate mining.

Arianne takes
its responsibility seriously.

Hydroelectricity — a clean,
green, renewable energy source — will provide 75% of all energy
required for the Lac à Paul project. Arianne also has followed a
greenhouse gas emissions accounting program since 2010 to help reduce
its ecological footprint. The company is committed to being sa
carbon-neutral as possible.

Further, Arianne is considering how its mining
affects local communities. On

June 12, 2015,
the company signed a cooperation

agreement with three First
Nations — indigenous

Canadian peoples — for the exploration and preconstruction
phase of the Lac à

Paul project with ongoing negotiations to conclude its impact
and benefits

agreement. The Company says it is determined to adhere to best
practices and maintain

its strong social license among the population to
operate.

During
the seven-year downturn in phosphate prices from 2012 to 2019, Arianne
continued to advance its project, receiving all necessary permits from
the government, signing various MoUs and some initial offtakes. The
Lac à Paul project is a fully permitted, shovel-ready project.

As European and North
American companies pivot away from their overdependence on Chinese,
Russian and MENA suppliers, Arianne Phosphate may be well-positioned
to fill the supply gap.

ARIANNE PHOSPHATE INC.

(

www.arianne-inc.com

)
owns the Lac à Paul phosphate deposit in Quebec, Canada. Fully
permitted and shovel ready, the asset is among the world’s largest
greenfield deposits, capable of producing an environmentally friendly
phosphate concentrate. Due to the nature of its high-purity,
low-contaminant product, Arianne’s phosphate can be used to produce
fertilizer as well as meeting the technical requirements of specialty
applications such as the lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery. The Lac
à Paul deposit is rare due to its geographic location and geological
structure. Arianne Phosphate is listed on both the TSX-V:

DAN

and the OTCQX:

DRRSF
