ARIANNE PHOSPHATE ANNOUNCES PARTICIPATION IN GRANT AWARD FROM THE GOVERNMENT OF QUEBEC Français
SAGUENAY, QC, June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Arianne Phosphate (the "Company" or "Arianne") (TSXV: DAN) (OTCQX: DRRSF) (FRANKFURT: JE9N), a development-stage phosphate mining company, advancing the Lac à Paul project in Quebec's Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region, is pleased to announce that Minister Blanchette Vezina, Minister of Natural Resources and Forests, recently announced the awarding of several grants totalling over $750,000 for R&D projects in the circular economy of critical and strategic minerals. 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 Quebec. 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. In 2024, both the Quebec 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. 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 geologically rare (igneous) allowing the Company to produce a phosphate concentrate that is ideally suited for integration into the LFP ecosystem and, the Company is widely regarded as having an opportunity to address the growing Western demand as supply chains shift from China. Discussions with industry players continue to advance and the Company has been active in this pursuit. Over the past month, Arianne has participated in several conferences and, is proud to be a Silver Sponsor and presenter at the Oreba3 battery technology conference to be held in Montreal July 6-8, 2025, to discuss the use of phosphate in the LFP battery and the opportunities for the Company. As well, Arianne has granted 600,000 stock options to Mr. Jeffrey Beck, CEO of Arianne Phosphate, in lieu of any salary or cash remuneration for his employment with the Company. These options entitle Mr. Beck to purchase one common share of the Company until June 23, 2035, at a price of $0.155 per share, this being the closing price of the Company's shares on the trading day of the grant. The options are subject to a vesting period and are also subject to regulatory approval. Mr. Beck added, "continuing to tie my remuneration to the future fortunes of the Company is a welcomed opportunity as prospects for the Company look very encouraging."

Mom slammed for openly breastfeeding child at restaurant: ‘Sheesh, cover up'
A mother is facing backlash for breastfeeding her child unconcealed at a restaurant. In a viral video posted to X by the account Liberacrat, an unidentified woman is seen breastfeeding a young child while seated at a restaurant, originally reported on by Newsweek. In the video, the mom is seen sitting at a long table, dining with other people. When her child was hungry, she did what many other women in her situation would do — she fed them. 3 A mother is facing backlash for breastfeeding her child at a restaurant. X/@Liberacrat The multitasking mommy is seemingly unfazed by her son guzzling down his mother's milk because she ordered food from the waitress without skipping a beat. The caption of the shared video read: 'This woman's receiving backlash for breastfeeding her (kind of old) child inside a restaurant on Mother's Day, where other patrons were also trying to enjoy their Mother's Day and meals with loved ones.' The person then prompted a debate asking: 'What do you think, did she deserve the backlash?' The right to breastfeed in public is protected by federal laws, including the Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act and the Friendly Airports for Mothers Act. However, that didn't stop people from having mixed reactions to this video. 3 The right to breastfeed in public is protected by federal laws, including the Fairness for Breastfeeding Mothers Act and the Friendly Airports for Mothers Act. Aidman – 'This is absolutely natural. She should have a blanket over her baby but honestly, I've seen worse today,' the top comment read. 'Sheesh, cover up. Nothing wrong with breastfeeding your baby, but it's not right to show all that,' someone commented. 'I'm sorry, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think women should be allowed to breastfeed in public,' another replied. Many others came to the mother's defense. 3 'I'm sorry, maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I don't think women should be allowed to breastfeed in public,' a person said about the viral video. Arianne – 'If you're upset about a mother breastfeeding her child, then you might have some issues you're going through, talk to someone. This is natural & as long as she's not flaunting herself this is perfectly fine,' someone said. 'Chances are, you won't be at home or in a private, comfortable place every time your baby gets hungry. Instead, you may be in the middle of eating a meal, running an errand, or sitting in the park,' another noted. Many people suggested that the woman cover herself with a blanket while she fed her child, but others correctly noted that covers can become a choking hazard and block the mother from better monitoring her child. Others also questioned if her son was too old to be breastfed. 'That's an adult man nursing,' someone joked. 'Kid is big' another replied. The child's age was not determined, but according to the World Health Organization, up to one-third of children are breastfed through age two. There is no harm in breastfeeding for longer as long as the child receives adequate nutrition, typically provided by complementary foods after the child's first six months. Regardless of the facts, people are sure to continue milking the breastfeeding debate — but some mothers don't care if you're crying over their nursed milk.

The first ever gut-health Dental Topper Spray lands in Australia: Bell & Bone
Keep our furry friends happy and healthy has never been easier, and that's thanks to innovative pet care brands like Bell & Bone. The beloved Aussie brand is once again leading the way in pet wellness with the release of a groundbreaking product: Australia's first gut-health dental topper spray. Backed by science and designed by experts, it's an easy-to-use topper that addresses two of the most critical areas of health — oral hygiene and gut function — and can prevent dental disease. Simply shake the bottle, spray four pumps on your pet's food, and watch their gut and dental health improve with every meal. After five years of extensive research by Bell & Bone founder Arianne Sackville — the Dental Topper redefines what pet dental care can look like. '80 per cent of dogs and 70 per of cats are still facing dental disease,' Arianne tells Best Picks. 'I became obsessed with uncovering WHY. I was determined to change these alarming statistics for good! I knew we needed to go deeper.' Traditionally, dental care for pets has been limited to brushing or mechanical abrasion through treats and chews. However, Arianne recognised a major gap in the pet food market: a lack of products that also consider the gut's role in overall health of dogs and cats. With this in mind, she developed a solution that would not only help prevent dental disease, but also support digestive health. The result is the Bell & Bone Dental Topper, a scientifically formulated spray that transforms your pet's everyday meals into a powerhouse of health support. Just four sprays a day deliver a potent blend of oral actives along with probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics — ingredients known to promote a healthy microbiome and strengthen immune function. This simple addition to a pet's diet helps to combat plaque and tartar, freshen breath, and nurture the gut, which is increasingly recognised as a key player in your pet's overall vitality. Arianne's commitment to better pet health began with a startling realisation: nearly 80 percent of pets show signs of dental disease by the age of three, and it can reduce their lifespan by up to 30 percent. Determined to improve these odds, Arianne previously launched Bell & Bone's best-selling Dog Dental Sticks and Cat Dental Bites. These products, featuring a meat-first formula and powerful active ingredients, offer natural dental care through effective mechanical cleaning — all in a form your pets will love.
