SAGUENAY, QC, Feb. 16 , 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 project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce

the signing of a memorandum of understanding (''MOU '') with Constructions Proco Inc. ("Proco"). The

agreement will cover structural and architectural engineering, steel fabrication and construction of the mill

process and utilities buildings and, on-site stock pile storage.

"Our Lac à Paul project stands to greatly benefit from Proco's experience, a company from the Saguenay-

Lac-Saint-Jean region. This selection fits into Arianne's commitment to advance the project towards

development while maximizing the local economic ben efits," said Jean-Sébastien David, Arianne's Chief

Operating Officer. "Over the past many months, Arianne has been working with potential suppliers for k ey

aspects of the project to provide the necessary technical, engineering and construction services requi red

to develop the Lac à Paul project. The agreement with Proco fits directly into this plan as they are a

recognized leader in Canada for the construction of major industrial and mining facilities."

"We acknowledge that many projects faced undue chal lenges as a result of not having fully addressed

the important aspects before the beginning of construction," noted Brian Ostroff, CEO of Arianne. "Our

last few months have been all about answering the q uestions and moving the project from shovel-ready

to shovel-ready with cost and scheduling certainty. This has allowed us to work with specialists in various

aspects of the project and put together a very comp rehensive plan. We believe that this strategy is not

lost on potential partners and financiers."

"We are pleased to have concluded an agreement with Arianne on the Lac à Paul project, a major global

phosphate development" said Jean-Denis Toupin, Gene ral Manager, Proco. "We look forward to

providing a "One Source" approach for the design, fabrication and construction of a complete structural

and architectural package for the mill process building. After a considerable review of the project and its

needs, we believe our expertise in modular structural design will aid in the successful delivery of the

project on time and on budget."
