Zentek has been invited to present its acid-free bench-scale graphite purification results at the 26th International Nuclear Graphite Specialists Meeting in Japan. The company reported achieving ultra-high purity levels of up to 99.99985% carbon (5N+) using a fluidized bed reactor.
Zentek has filed a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Albany Graphite Project in Northern Ontario, reporting an after-tax NPV of US$3.85 billion and an IRR of 27.4%. The project utilizes an innovative acid-free thermal purification process to produce ultra-high-purity graphite. Micon recommends advancing the project to a Pre-Feasibility Study.
Zentek reported successful bench-scale purification of Albany graphite, achieving a peak purity of 99.99985% carbon (5N+). Additionally, the company received its first orders under a Government of Canada standing offer for its ZenGUARD™ air filtration products.
Zentek Ltd. announced a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for its Albany Graphite Project in Ontario, Canada, revealing a robust after-tax NPV of US$3.85 billion and an after-tax IRR of 27.4% at a 5% discount rate. The PEA outlines a 30-year mine life with an initial capital cost of US$817 million, focusing on an acid-free purification process to produce ultra-high-purity graphite for nuclear, defence, and other strategic critical mineral supply chains. The updated mineral resource estimate includes 23.1 Mt Indicated at 4.14% Cg and 13.3 Mt Inferred at 2.88% Cg, supporting the project's strong economic potential.
Libra Energy has announced a graphite discovery at its Stimson project in Ontario following maiden diamond drilling. Drill hole ST26-001 intersected 4.7% graphitic carbon over 14.7 metres.
Focus Graphite has announced an upgraded mineral resource estimate for the Lac Tetepisca Project, totaling over 144 million tonnes of graphite. The resource includes 120.16 Mt of Indicated graphite at 10.27% Cg and 24.14 Mt of Inferred graphite at 9.88% Cg.
Zentek Ltd. has engaged Micon International to complete a new Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for the Albany Graphite Project in Ontario. The study will evaluate a high-purity thermal purification pathway and include an updated Mineral Resource Estimate.
Focus Graphite has announced successful follow-on purification testing at its Lac Knife deposit, achieving 99.9996 wt.% ultra-high purity. The results also showed an Equivalent Boron Content (EBC) of 2.03 ppm, confirming the project's potential for high-performance battery applications.
