Financial Summary

In Q3 2014, Arianne did not generate revenue or positive cash flows as the Company is still a development-stage entity. In the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company incurred a net loss of $1,260,208 compared to a loss of $1,675,088 in the same period in the 2013.

Liquidity

Since January 1, 2014, the Company has received net proceeds of $7.2 million from the exercise of warrants, stock options, options granted to brokers and the proceeds from closing its first tranche of the $8 million financing announced in July (see press release dated July 31, 2014.)  Based on current estimates for future project development, Arianne anticipates it will need additional financing in 2015.

At quarter-end, the Company had $4,060,148 of cash on hand and working capital of $3,279,634, which includes $211,964 in cash reserved for exploration and evaluation expenses. The Company's working capital will be allocated towards completing critical project development work through 2014 and into 2015.

Arianne Phosphate continued the development of its proposed phosphate mine at Lac à Paul by focusing on its four major pillars. Since Q1, Arianne has invested nearly $3.5 million for the optimization and reduction of production costs and capital expenses for the Lac a Paul project. Additionally, resources have been invested to support the Company`s efforts towards permitting and continued discussions with the First Nations in order to reach agreements on the project. These activities will allow for the continued development of Arianne's mineral deposit. Lastly, these funds provide financial support to management while they promote and negotiate funding agreements and partnerships with potential strategic investors.
