SAGUENAY, QC, Nov. 15, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne")
(TSXV: DAN) (OTC: DRRSF) (FRANKFURT: JE9N) , a development-stage phosphate mining company,
advancing the Lac à Paul phosphate rock project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, has
announced that it has joined Safer Phosphates™, an organization created to promote the use of safer
phosphates. The organization has been formed by stakeholders concerned about the potential health
risks posed by heavy metal content in phosphate and includes other phosphate producers such as
PhosAgro PJSC of Russia and Foskor (Pty) Ltd. of So uth Africa.
"We are already seeing increased scrutiny from legislatures such as the current initiatives underway i n
the European Union," said Brian Ostroff, CEO of Arianne Phosphate. "As awareness of health and
environmental issues associated with phosphate continues to grow, Arianne and others will be able to
provide for the increased demand for 'clean' phosphate. The decision for Arianne to move forward on t his
initiative supports our belief in safe and sustainable development and the advancement of our business
model."
Today over 90% of phosphate production comes from s edimentary deposits, with the largest based in
North Africa, the Middle East and the United States. The concern is that, although not all, a significant
amount of the phosphate mined from sedimentary depo sits comes with substantially higher levels of
impurities including heavy metals such as cadmium. Over time, these impurities build up and can make
their way into the food chain through plants and crops grown on contaminated farmland. The alternativ e
is either phosphate from sedimentary deposits that do not contain high levels of heavy metals or,
phosphate that comes from igneous deposits that do not contain these harmful elements. Arianne's Lac à
Paul deposit in Canada is igneous and this, along w ith other igneous deposits such as those in Russia,
South Africa, Brazil and Finland, as well as some s edimentary deposits, can substitute in order to provide
needed phosphate but with much less impurities.
Safer Phosphates™ ( www.saferphosphates.com ) is a collaboration of several current and pending
producers, as well as other stakeholders, to share knowledge and address concerns about potentially
harmful contaminants such as heavy metals that are present in some phosphate-based fertilizers. The
goal is to improve the understanding of the potential risks and promote solutions that optimize healthier
fertilizer choice to support food security and sustainable agriculture.
