This project agreement provides for discussions focused on Arianne\u2019s use of ships serving Rio Tinto to deliver phosphate concentrate to international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis partnership would minimize the environmental impact of our transport on the Saguenay River by fully maximizing the use of these Rio Tinto ships. Currently used for conveying commodities to their facilities, these vessels could eventually leave the Saguenay River loaded with Arianne\u2019s phosphate rock concentrate,\u201d said Jean-S\u00e9bastien David, Chief Operating Officer of Arianne. This kind of partnership ties in with Arianne\u2019s ongoing efforts to reduce the environmental impact of its Lac \u00e0 Paul project, as well as enhancing the project\u2019s economics. \u201cTogether, we would be able to lessen the environmental footprint by optimizing transport activity on the Saguenay River and ensure maritime traffic synergy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are at a preliminary stage, but discussions with Arianne Phosphate will allow us to assess the possibility of using the maritime transport already in place for our operations to promote economic development in the region,\u201d said Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Nadeau, manager, Complexe Jonqui\u00e8re, which includes, the Rio Tinto Port Facilities. \u201cEach year, Rio Tinto\u2019s Port Facilities accommodate about 120 ships loaded with raw materials such as bauxite and alumina.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This project agreement also focuses on the sharing of common services such as ship towing on the Saguenay River. Discussions will continue during the year as both parties have as potential objective to conclude an agreement and, to look at other opportunities surrounding the synergy of assets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAGUENAY, QUEBEC &#8211; (January 25 , 2017) &#8211; Arianne Phosphate (the \u201cCompany\u201d or \u201cArianne\u201d) (TSX VENTURE: DAN; OTC: DRRSF; FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac \u00e0 Paul project in Quebec\u2019s Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce the signing of a project agreement with Rio Tinto to review potential maritime services sharing.
