This press release contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of
Canadian securities legislation and "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
This information and these statements, referred to herein as "forward-looking
statements", are made as of the date of this press release and the Company does
not intend, and does not assume any obligation, to update these forward-looking
statements, except as required by law.


Forward-looking statements relate to future events or future performance and
reflect current expectations or beliefs regarding future events and include, but
are not limited to, statements with respect to: (i) the amount of mineral
resources and exploration targets; (ii) the amount of future production over any
period; (iii) net present value and internal rates of return of the mining
operation; (iv) assumptions relating to capital costs, operating costs and other
cost metrics set out in the Feasibility Study; (v) assumptions relating to gross
revenues, operating cash flow and other revenue metrics set out in the
Feasibility Study; (vi) assumptions relating to recovered grade, average ore
recovery and other mining parameters set out in the Feasibility Study; (vii)
mine expansion potential and expected mine life; (viii) expected time frames for
completion of permitting and regulatory approvals and making a production
decision; (ix) future exploration plans; (x) future market prices for rough
Phosphate Concentrate s; and (xi) sources of and anticipated financing
requirements. Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to
predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions
or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases
such as "expects", "anticipates", "plans", "projects", "estimates", "assumes",
"intends", "strategy", "goals", "objectives" or variations thereof or stating
that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or
"will" be taken, occur or be achieved, or the negative of any of these terms and
similar expressions) are not statements of historical fact and may be
forward-looking statements.


Forward-looking statements are made based upon certain assumptions by Arianne
Phosphate or its consultants and other important factors that, if untrue, could
cause the actual results, performances or achievements of Arianne Phosphate to
be materially different from future results, performances or achievements
expressed or implied by such statements. Such statements and information are
based on numerous assumptions regarding present and future business strategies
and the environment in which Arianne Phosphate will operate in the future,
including the price of Phosphate Concentrate, anticipated costs and ability to
achieve goals. Certain important factors that could cause actual results,
performances or achievements to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) estimated
completion date for the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment; (ii)
required capital investment and estimated workforce requirements; (iii)
estimates of net present value and internal rates of return; (iv) receipt of
regulatory approvals on acceptable terms within commonly experienced time
frames; (v) the assumption that a production decision will be made, and that
decision will be positive; (vi) anticipated timelines for the commencement of
mine production; (vii) anticipated timelines for community consultations and the
conclusion of an Impact and Benefits Agreement; (viii) market prices for rough
Phosphate Concentrate and the potential impact on the Lac a Paul Project's
value; and (ix) future exploration plans and objectives. 


By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and
uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that estimates,
forecasts, projections and other forward-looking statements will not be achieved
or that assumptions do not reflect future experience. We caution readers not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements as a number of
important risk factors could cause the actual outcomes to differ materially from
the beliefs, plans, objectives, expectations, anticipations, estimates,
assumptions and intentions expressed in such forward-looking statements. These
risk factors may be generally stated as the risk that the assumptions and
estimates expressed above do not occur, including the assumption in many
forward-looking statements that other forward-looking statements will be
correct, but specifically include, without limitation, (i) risks relating to
variations in the grade, phosphate rock lithologies and country rock content
within the material identified as mineral resources from that predicted; (ii)
variations in rates of recovery and breakage; (iii) the greater uncertainty of
exploration targets; (iv) developments in world Phosphate Concentrate markets;
(v) slower increases in Phosphate Concentrate valuations than assumed; (vi)
risks relating to fluctuations in the Canadian dollar and other currencies
relative to the US dollar; (vii) increases in the costs of proposed capital and
operating expenditures; (viii) increases in financing costs or adverse changes
to the terms of available financing if any; (ix) tax rates or royalties being
greater than assumed; (x) results of exploration in areas of potential expansion
of resources; (xi) changes in development or mining plans due to changes in
other factors or exploration results of Arianne Phosphate; (xii) changes in
project parameters as plans continue to be refined; (xiii) risks relating to
receipt of regulatory approvals or the conclusion of an Impact and Benefits
Agreement with aboriginal communities; (xiv) the effects of competition in the
markets in which Arianne Phosphate operates; (xv) operational and infrastructure
risks; and (xvi) the additional risks described in Arianne Phosphate's most
recently filed Annual Report, annual and interim MD&A, and Arianne Phosphate's
anticipation of and success in managing the foregoing risks. Arianne Phosphate
cautions that the foregoing list of factors that may affect future results is
not exhaustive. 


When relying on our forward-looking statements to make decisions with respect to
Arianne Phosphate, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing
factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Arianne Phosphate does not
undertake to update any forward-looking statement, whether written or oral, that
may be made from time to time by Arianne Phosphate or on our behalf, except as
required by law.
