DAN: TSX-V (Canada)
JE9N: FSE (Germany)
DRRSF: OTC (USA)

SAGUENAY, QC, April 1, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSXV: DAN) (OTC: DRRSF) (FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac à Paul project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is announcing that it will issue 4,166,096 common shares at a price of $0.512 per share, in lieu of cash, as its annual interest payment to Mercury Financing Corp. ("Mercury") as at, March 31, 2022.  As per the Company's announcement of March of 2021, Arianne reached an agreement with Mercury whereby Mercury extended its credit facility, reduced the principal of its loan and, reduced the annual interest rate (full details of the extension can be found on the Press Release dated March 18, 2021).  As part of this extension, Arianne had at its sole option to issue the interest by way of shares or cash, such cash amount would have been equal to $2,133,041. The Company has elected to pay in common shares with these securities issued being subject to a hold period ending August 2, 2022.

"This is a win/win for all involved," said Brian Ostroff, President of Arianne Phosphate.  "By electing to pay in shares, as opposed to cash, will allow the Company to preserve its substantial cash balance and defer any immediate requirements to raise additional capital.  At the same time, it will allow Mercury to increase its participation in Arianne, showing support for the project and, keeping interests aligned with management and the other shareholders."

This transaction remains subject to final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
