DAN: TSX-V (Canada)

DRRSF: OTC (USA)
SAGUENAY, QC, March 15, 2018 /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
that it has received an investment from the Government of Quebec by way of private placement of
$1,407,000 into the common shares of Arianne.
"By making this investment, the Government of Quebec is helping to pave the way forward for this
important project." said Brian Ostroff, CEO of Arianne Phosphate. "This is the second investment that
Arianne has received from the Government and, I believe, is an acknowledgement of the progress that
we have made towards advancing the project. The development of Lac à Paul will strengthen the region's
economy, providing several thousand jobs and pioneering a new long-lasting industry for Quebec. It also
helps to move the asset towards development to the benefit of stakeholders and, of course, provides the
Province with the added economic benefit of being a shareholder in this asset. I look forward to their
continued support as the project moves through the project financing stage."
Under the terms of the offering, the Government of Quebec is subscribing for 2,233,333 Units of the
Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.63 per Unit. The units consist of one common share (the "Common
Share") and one half common share purchase warrant (each whole warrant being a "Warrant"). Each full
Warrant entitles its holder to purchase one common share at a price equal to $0.85 for a period of thirty-
six (36) months following the closing date, expiring on March 14, 2021. If at any time after four (4) months
and one (1) day following the closing date, the trading price of the Common Shares on the TSX Venture
Exchange is equal to or exceeds $1.25 for ten (10) consecutive trading days, as evidenced by the price at
the close of market, the Company shall be entitled to notify the holders of Warrants of its intention to force
the exercise of the Warrants. Upon receipt of such notice, the holders of the Warrants shall have 30 days
to exercise the Warrants, failing which the Warrants will automatically expire. The securities issued in
connection with the financing are subject to a regulatory hold period of four (4) months and one (1) day
expiring on July 15, 2018. The financing remains subject to the final approval of the Exchange.
