SAGUENAY, QC, Feb. 22, 2024 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSXV: DAN) (OTCQX: 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 will participate at the CRU Phosphates 2024 Conference, to be held February 26-28 in Warsaw, Poland. The event is an annual occurrence and allows industry leaders to meet and get updated on industry trends, technology and overall macro factors affecting the phosphate sector.
This year, Arianne has been invited to present a talk entitled "LFP Batteries: Advantages & Future Prospects" as well as participate on a panel discussion on the challenges and opportunities facing project developers. The Conference will allow Arianne an opportunity to highlight its fully-permitted, advanced staged, Lac à Paul Project in Québec, Canada and to update the Company's recent news regarding a purified phosphoric acid plant.
"Phosphate continues to gain awareness as a critical mineral," said Brian Ostroff, President of Arianne. "Aside from the usual discussions surrounding agriculture and overall macro, the LFP will be a major topic at the Conference. Industry analysts have highlighted the pending shortage in PPA and Arianne's recent news regarding a PPA plant, I'm sure, will make for some interesting conversations. Additionally, the fact that Quebec has placed phosphate on its critical minerals list, will also enhance these conversations as industry players look to secure their necessary requirements."
