## Resource

Arianne Phosphate Head of Strategic, Business Initiatives Brian Ostroff joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce the successful continuous production of phosphoric acid using the company’s high-purity phosphate concentrate sourced from Quebec. The achievement marks the first time phosphoric acid has been continuously produced in the province from a Quebec-sourced apatite concentrate in more than 130 years. The work was completed in partnership with Corem and supported by Natural Resources Canada. During testing at Corem’s facilities, Arianne successfully produced approximately 1.5 tonnes of phosphoric acid continuously over a one-week period. The company said the results demonstrate the high quality of its phosphate concentrate and reinforce the potential for a fully localized phosphate supply chain within Canada. Management noted that the phosphoric acid generated from Arianne’s concentrate can be readily upgraded into purified phosphoric acid, a key material used in lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, high-performance fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and semiconductor manufacturing. The company also emphasized that its concentrate requires significantly less sulphuric acid during processing compared to many competing phosphate sources, providing an additional strategic advantage as global sulphur supply chains face increasing geopolitical pressure, particularly through the Strait of Hormuz. Ostroff highlighted the growing importance of secure phosphate supply chains as governments and industries increasingly recognize phosphate as a critical mineral tied to energy transition technologies and food security. He noted that Arianne has invested approximately $100 million and more than 15 years advancing its Lac à Paul Project, which the company describes as the w…
