SAGUENAY, QC, Jan. 28, 2015 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSX VENTURE: DAN) (FRANKFURT: JE9N) (OTCBB: DRRSF) today announced it will make a presentation on the environmental impact and economic benefits related to its Lac-à-Paul phosphate project to the Bureau d'audiences publiques sur l'environnement (BAPE), an independent agency, on February 18 in Saguenay, Quebec. The presentation will mark the start of Arianne's public information and consultation process to receive environmental permitting for Lac-à-Paul.
"Securing permitting for our Lac-à-Paul phosphate project represents another major milestone for our Company," said Jean-Sebastien David, Chief Operating Officer of Arianne Phosphate. "We very much look forward to the start of the public consultation process and showing the reasons why Lac-à-Paul is a world-class project that will provide significant economic benefits to the Saguenay region with little environmental impact."
Development of Arianne's Lac-à-Paul project is expected to generate a $1.2 billion investment, create more than 2,200 direct and in-direct jobs during the construction phase and create approximately 1,000 jobs during a 25 year life of mine operation for the Saguenay region. The project will pioneer a new industry in the province while generating roughly $1 billion in employment income as well as more than $12.6 billion in overall economic benefit for the province of Quebec.
In advance of its presentation to BAPE and upcoming public information sessions, Arianne will make its Environmental Impact Assessment Study and supporting documentation delivered to the Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment and the Fight Against Climate Change publicly available through its website, www.arianne-inc.com.
"Consistent with our approach to date, we are fully committed to working with the Ministry, BAPE and all stakeholder groups in an open and transparent manner during the consultation and permitting phases," added Mr. David. "We believe that the public consultation process will provide us the opportunity to demonstrate the merits of advancing development of our project through the production stage, and thus unlocking and providing the true economic and social benefits for all those involved."
Arianne's Environmental Impact Assessment study was conducted by GENIVAR Inc., an international engineering consulting firm, in collaboration with a number of technical and engineering firms, including Dessau-Groupe Conseil Nutshimit, Hydro-Ressources Inc. and Cegertex WorleyParsons.
The first phase of the BAPE process is expected to last 45 days.
