Arianne Phosphate Inc. (OTC:DRRSF) is a promising phosphate mining company located in Quebec, Canada. The company’s Lac à Paul project is a response to the growing global demand for phosphate – historically, the global demand for phosphate increases by 2% to 3% each year, with demand driven primarily by its use in agriculture. Demand will likely be considerably higher when LFP batteries are taken into account, and the Lac à Paul project is a fully permitted, shovel-ready project.

Arianne Phosphate recently announced a significant addition to its advisory team, reinforcing its already impressive executive lineup. Mark Edinger, a seasoned professional with 15 years of experience at Nutrien Ltd. and its predecessor Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan, will be joining the company as an advisor. As the former Director of Phosphate Commercial and Product Management Teams at Nutrien, Edinger possesses a wealth of knowledge in global marketing of phosphate product lines, granting him a deep understanding of market participants, economics and the industry landscape.

“Over the years, I have watched Arianne advance its Lac à Paul deposit from a grass roots exploration asset to, what is today, one of the most significant phosphate deposits in the world,” said Edinger. “Aside from its size and geopolitically safe jurisdiction, Arianne will produce a very high-purity, low-contaminant phosphate that will be required to meet the world’s growing demand. Further, as Arianne has already demonstrated, their phosphate is ideal for the materials required for the LFP battery, a market that will significantly increase the importance of the Arianne deposit. I am very excited to be part of this project and use my knowledge and contacts to see it come to fruition.” 

“I worked closely with Mark for many years at Nutrien and look forward to repeating our success at Arianne,” said Raef Sully, former CEO of Nutrien’s Phosphate and Nitrogen divisions and member of the Arianne Board of Directors, who joined Arianne earlier this year. “Aside from their significant phosphate fertilizer operations, Nutrien also produces purified phosphoric acid, the material required for industrial applications as well as the LFP battery. Mark and I both know first-hand the opportunities for high-purity market and believe that Arianne can be the major player in this market; we look forward to advancing it.”
