Management Commentary
“Atrium’s research coverage will provide investors with in-depth analysis of Zentek’s business, including the Albany Graphite Project, which is currently advancing through a Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for completion this summer, and ZenGUARD™, our air filtration technology platform, which is already generating commercial revenue. Albany graphite has been purified at bench scale to 5N, consistent with nuclear-grade specifications and defence markets that require that level of purity. As the PEA is completed and we advance our other initiatives, we believe access to well-researched coverage will help investors evaluate the Company,” said Mohammed (Moe) Jiwan, Chief Executive Officer of Zentek.
