Arianne Phosphate Provides Update on Permitting Process for Lac-à-Paul Project, Public Hearing Scheduled

Arianne Phosphate (TSXV:DAN) announced that the public hearings, which are the second phase of the permitting process, on the company’s Lac-à-Paul phosphate project are scheduled to begin on April 27 in Saguenay, Quebec.

As quoted in the press release:

In a letter addressed to Mr. David, Quebec’s Minister of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change, David Heurtel, indicated that the public hearing process will consist of two parts.  In the first part, individuals and interested groups will be able to ask questions about the project and information filed by the Company.  In the second, the BAPE commission will hear opinions and suggestions from individuals and groups in the form of an oral presentation or a brief. At the end of the public hearing the BAPE will submit its report which will contain its findings as well as the analysis to the Minister.

Jean-Sebastien David, COO of Arianne Phosphate, commented:

We have been anticipating the public hearing process for some time and are extremely pleased to be able to proceed on this very significant milestone. We have significantly advanced the project since we filed the impact study in October 2013.  Our project has extremely robust economics and will produce one of the highest quality, low contaminant phosphate concentrates in the world.   Successful completion of the permitting process is a key priority for us in 2015.  We very much look forward to presenting our project to the BAPE, a project which we believe is poised to become a major producer of phosphate concentrate.
