ARIANNE PHOSPHATE ENGAGES AUSTRALIAN-BASED INVESTOR RELATIONS FIRM

Arianne Phosphate Inc. has engaged Australian-based Fundexa Corp., an arm's-length party, for investor relations and shareholder awareness. Fundexa specializes in providing investor relations services to mining companies, arranging investor meetings for listed companies in key investment centres around the world. "We are excited to be working with Fundexa," said Brian Ostroff, president of Arianne Phosphate. "Fundexa provides services internationally with a particular emphasis on Australia and Southeast Asia, an area of great interest for us. Arianne is well known internationally within the phosphate/critical minerals industry but lacks that level of familiarity among the global investment community. China is dominant in battery production and Asian investors better understand the LFP battery. Those investors also understand that the West is actively seeking to secure their own battery supply chain, and, thus, the opportunity for companies such as Arianne to grow into a dominant industry player. We welcome the ability to tell our story to that audience."

The LFP (lithium-iron-phosphate) battery had grown in importance over the last few years as the West is now implementing this technology, catching up to Asia, which has been using LFPs for many years. China today produces over 95 per cent of all LFP batteries, and, as interest grows from both the automotive and energy storage sectors, demand for the materials required is also growing rapidly. In 2024, the LFP surpassed all other battery chemistries to become the most predominantly used. Arianne's rare igneous phosphate deposit allows the company to easily transform the material into purified phosphoric acid, the necessary ingredient for LFP batteries.

Fundexa's appointment aligns with the company's intention increase awareness within the investment community and to close the significant gap that exists between market value and NPV (net present value). The increased focus on investor relations, as announced in January, 2025, also coincides with Arianne advancing its work on its proposed downstream facility.

Under the terms of the engagement, Fundexa has been signed to a 12-month mandate starting at the end of February, with either party having the ability to terminate the agreement after three months. Fundexa is paid on a project fee basis for its work on the file and will not receive any options or stock compensation. It does not have any direct or indirect interest in Arianne and has no intent to acquire such an interest. The work is budgeted at approximately $4,000 per month; however, this will vary based on actual hours worked.
