Arianne Resources' Lac à Paul project aims to mine and develop phosphorus-bearing deposits in the Lac à Paul area of Chute des Passes north of Lac Saint-Jean. With the decline of the logging economy in Saguenay / Lac Saint-Jean, the activities of the Company are stimulating a much needed influx of new industry to the region. In addition to providing great value for investors, Arianne looks forward to propagating a number of key benefits to the local community. The Lac à Paul project could generate $325 million in investment for the region, create 250 jobs, and lead to significant economic spinoffs on both local and regional levels. Further benefits include the creation of indirect employment required to support mine workers, and general economic stimulation for Saguenay / Lac-Saint- Jean suppliers generated by a possible increase in the volume of purchased goods and services.
