Our focus on these critical areas will continue throughout 2014.\u201d <strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q1 2014 Corporate &amp; Financial Highlights&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Commenced a new drilling program and metallurgical test program aimed at increasing the mineral resources and finalizing the process flow sheet;<\/li><li>Recognized as a 2014 TSX Venture 50, a ranking of the top performing companies on the TSX.V; <\/li><li>Commissioned a scoping and market study on the feasibility of processing Arianne\u2019s phosphate rock into merchant grade acid (MGA) or&nbsp; MAP\/DAP&nbsp; fertilizer products&nbsp; <\/li><li>Finalized a study on the local socio-economic benefits of the Lac \u00e0 Paul Project; <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"padding-left:50px\">o Confirmed Lac \u00e0 Paul would create $12B of economic benefits, with the majority of the spin-offs in the Saguenay region, marking the largest economic impact of any mining project in Quebec in over a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Post \u2013 Q1 2014 Highlights &nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Completed sale of its non-core Opinaca and Black Dog properties, which is consistent with its corporate strategy to focus on Lac \u00e0 Paul\u2019s development;<\/li><li>Announced results, including the: &nbsp;<br>o Addition of 78Mt of inferred resource at 5.34% P<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5 <\/sub>at the Nicole Zone<br> o Identification of a new potential target zone in the range of 260Mt &#8211; 390Mt with   grades ranging from 5.34% to 7.13% P<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5 <\/sub><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong> <\/li><li>Announced preliminary results from metallurgical optimization tests which confirm that Arianne will be able to realize cost savings and lower their per tonne production costs of phosphate concentrate by $3.91.

In the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $1.4 compared to a loss of $2.2M in the same period in the 2013. The Company\u2019s net loss and cash burn are consistent with our budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Liquidity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At quarter-end, the Company had $5.28M cash on hand and working capital of $4.48M, which includes $1.2M in cash reserved for exploration and evaluation expenses. The Company\u2019s working capital will be allocated towards completing critical project development work in 2014. Based on current spending estimates for the year, Arianne anticipates it will need additional financing in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Other Corporate Updates&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Company announces that in December 2013, it proceeded with the issuance of 37,877 common shares at a price of $1.32 per share to officers and employees of the Company (the \u201cBeneficiaries\u201d) as partial payment of year-end bonuses approved by the Board of Directors. In addition to the regulatory 4 month hold period to which the 37,877 shares are subject, such shares may not be sold by the Beneficiaries for a period of one year following their date of issuance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, on April 10, 2014, the Company announced that it had retained the services of Torrey Hills Capital for investor relations services for a 12-month period. The Company would like to correct this statement as the term of the Torrey Hills Capital engagement is for a three-month period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About Arianne Phosphate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arianne Phosphate (\u201cArianne Phosphate Inc.\u201d) (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.arianne-inc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.arianne-inc.com<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.arianne-inc.com\/\">)<\/a> is developing the Lac \u00e0 Paul phosphate deposits located approximately 200 km north of the Saguenay\/Lac St. Jean area of Quebec, Canada.
