SAGUENAY, QC, June 12, 2014 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSX VENTURE: DAN) (FRANKFURT: JE9N) (OTCBB: DRRSF), a development-stage phosphate company advancing the Lac à Paul Project in Quebec, is pleased to report that the latest results from its exploration drilling program, on the western extension of the Paul Zone, has met with success, extending the zone an additional 1.1 km along the strike.  When added to the previously defined Paul Zone (released 23 October 2012, with a strike length of 2.7 km), this latter is now recognised on a 3.8 km strike length. Further, the Company also completed its first stage of drilling at its TraMan Zone showing very promising initial results.

Based on the potential targets highlighted through an airborne magnetic survey, Arianne drill tested an area west of the current Paul Zone.  All drill holes intersected mineralization and numerous holes returning results of higher than 7% P₂O₅ (see table below), extending the Paul Zone an additional 1.1 km strike length.  As shown in the diagram(s) below, this western extension is directly adjacent to the Paul deposit which is currently capable of a 26 years life of mine, as defined in the Company's BFS (released 24 October 2013).  Arianne, over the coming weeks, will perform the required modelling work to more specifically estimate these new resources in the western extension of the Paul Zone.

"We are very pleased with the results from our winter 2014 drilling program" stated Brian Kenny, Chief Executive Officer of Arianne.  "These results, taken in conjunction with the earlier potential targets (see the press release of May 15, 2014) are certainly showing the capability to increase the size of the asset.  Given that the mineralised intersections are near-surface and continuous to the Paul Zone, we are confident that additional definition drilling should enable us to upgrade to a resource level and incorporate this into our projected mining plan. Already one of the largest green field phosphate deposits in the world, these results along with the initial drilling results on TraMan continue to move us towards our goal of finding additional phosphate mineralisation. Arianne's exploration works continue to show the district-sized scale of the asset. This is a positive finding in pursuing the development of our target to obtain a mineral resource to support mining operations for fifty (50) years."⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾The 50 years target is conceptual in nature, that there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource to that size and that it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the target being delineated as a mineral resource. The 50 years target is based on 472 Mt in reserve and other resources on the project (released 24 October 2013) and the other potential targets (released 15 May 2014).

Paul Zone

The drilling program on the western extension of the Paul Zone, totalling 2 854 metres in 16 holes (PAU-14-154 to PAU-14-169), was designed to test the western extension on the Paul Zone and the aeromagnetic anomaly associated with this sector. A total of nine (9) sections spaced between 100 to 200 meters have been drilled on 1.1 km along the anomaly.

These are 1 020 samples (including QA/QC procedures) which were sent to ALS Chemex Inc. from Val d'Or to be analysed for major elements by the ME-XRF06 method. The table below shows the intersections obtained along the drill holes (true width are roughly 75 % of the intersection length) on the western extension of the Paul Zone, with all analytical results obtained. Overburden is around 3 vertical meters depth.

TraMan Zone

The drilling program on TraMan Zone, totalling 4 165 metres in 18 holes (TRM-14-01 to TRM-14-18), was designed to test the aeromagnetic anomaly associated with this sector where surface grab samples gave significant results in P₂O₅. A total of seven (7) sections spaced between 200 to 400 meters have been drilled on 1.5 km along the anomaly. This sector is a continuity of the Traverse Zone (magnetic anomaly recognised over a 2 km length) where similar results were obtained by drilling (see press release of May 08, 2012).

These are 1 571 samples (including QA/QC procedures) which were sent to ALS Chemex Inc. from Val d'Or to be analysed for major elements by the ME-XRF06 method. The table below shows the intersections obtained along the holes drilled (true widths are roughly 75 % of the intersection lengths) on the TraMan Zone with all analytical results. Overburden is around 3 to 4 vertical meters depth.

"We will be performing the required modelling on the results from the Traman zone to determine the size of this additional potential. Combined with the mineralised potential of the Traverse Zone (see press release of May 08, 2012 and table below), that is located just beside TraMan (see figure attached), this sector becomes very attractive for the Lac à Paul Project." stated Brian Kenny.
