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.

EST-Floattech expands Octopus Series battery system with LFP module
EST-Floattech, a Dutch energy storage systems provider, has expanded its Octopus Series battery system portfolio with the introduction of new Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery modules. This latest addition caters to the market's demand for diverse battery chemistries and is designed for robust, large-scale battery systems. The new LFP battery modules offer enhanced energy density and cost-effectiveness per kilowatt-hours (kWh), in addition to better thermal stability, extended lifecycle, and improved safety, making them suitable for vessels that discharge during the day and charge overnight. The technology will provide shipowners with more options to meet specific application needs, extend battery life, improve fleet sustainability, or implement systems adhering to stringent safety standards. Each module features a nominal voltage of 52V and a capacity of 233Ah, allowing for scalable integration into larger battery systems of multiple megawatt-hours (MWh). The modular rack design of the modules is adaptable in both height and width, incorporating integrated ventilation for optimal thermal management. The air-cooled system presents advantages over liquid cooling by eliminating leakage risks, reducing maintenance, and limiting weight. EST-Floattech CEO Mark Witjens said: 'By introducing LFP to our Octopus Series, we empower shipbuilders and operators with even more choice. We understand that different vessels have different energy profiles. 'LFP gives us the ability to serve applications with a high energy capacity demand and long discharge and charge cycles with a robust, safe, and cost-effective solution—without compromising on our commitment to reliability and quality.

Nascent Materials emerges from stealth to make LFP batteries better and cheaper
Lithium-ion batteries have dropped in cost by 75% over the past decade, a marvel of research and development that isn't the result of a singular breakthrough but of myriad incremental improvements. Few know that better than Chaitanya Sharma, founder of the stealthy Nascent Materials. Sharma spent a little over two years working at Tesla's Gigafactory in Nevada and another two leading iM3NY, a lithium-ion manufacturer in New York. Since leaving iM3NY in November 2023, he's been working on a new way to process cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries — one of those small improvements that promises to continue driving down costs. Nascent's new process could improve energy density of the cathode by up to 12% while costing 30% less to make. 'In my mind, developing a new exotic chemistry is not really the way that I want to go,' Sharma told TechCrunch. 'I want to develop new ways of making material.' Sharma's manufacturing-focused approach has attracted early investment. Nascent recently raised $2.3 million in a seed round led by SOSV, the company exclusively told TechCrunch. The New Jersey Innovation Evergreen Fund and UM6P Ventures also participated. The startup's initial focus is on making lithium-ion-phosphate (LFP) and lithium-manganese-iron-phosphate, (LMFP), two cathode materials that have gained favor among automakers and data center operators. Recent improvements have brought LFP energy density closer to higher-end nickel- and cobalt-based chemistries but at much lower costs. But there's still room for improvement. Sharma said that obtaining materials with consistent quality was a challenge at iM3NY, one that contributed to the company's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in January. The problem stems from supply chain inequities. Large players like Tesla's Gigafactory, which it operates in partnership with Panasonic, tend to get more consistent material, Sharma said. 'The small players, which, by the way, spend $100 million to $200 million on their factories as well, they get the outlier material.' 'That really became the reason why I wanted to launch Nascent Materials — because I want to make sure that I provide consistent materials to all customers,' Sharma said. Cathode material tends to come in powders, and while it might look consistent to the naked eye, slight variations in the grains can have an outsized impact on the final result. Sharma said Nascent has developed a process that uses less energy while also promising to create particles that are more consistently sized and shaped. That allows the material to be packed more tightly, improving energy density. The process offers additional supply chain advantages. It can also use lower-purity raw materials, he said, opening up more domestic supplies. While Nascent is focused on LFP and LMFP today, Sharma said the company plans to expand to other chemistries, including nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) and lithium-manganese-rich (LMR), a relatively new chemistry that GM will introduce in 2028. That domestic focus addresses a critical industry dependency. Today, the vast majority of cathode material is made in China. 'How can I not rely on China for them?' Sharma said. 'That's really what we are focused on — simplifying the supply chain so we can utilize local raw materials, so that drives the cost down.'
