As part of these grants, Arianne, with two other companies, received funding to participate in a project aimed at strengthening the supply chain for local integration of the Lithium-Iron-Phosphate (\"LFP\") sector in\n \n Quebec\n \n . For Arianne, the objective is to reduce the environmental impact and production costs associated with the optimization of inputs and processes association with lithium-iron-phosphate production using purified phosphoric acid.\n \n\n In 2024, both the\n \n Quebec\n \n and Canadian governments added the phosphate-bearing mineral apatite to their respective critical mineral lists. As well, in June of 2024, Arianne published a prefeasibility study on a downstream facility to produce purified phosphoric acid (\"PPA\") from high-purity phosphate concentrate. PPA is a necessary ingredient for use in both the food industry and advanced battery technologies.\n \n\n Considerable interest has been shown in advanced battery technologies and the growing use of LFP batteries in both electric vehicles and energy storage systems. In 2024, the LFP battery became the most widely used battery chemistry globally. Arianne's Lac à Paul deposit is geologi...
