Albany Graphite Secures Final PEA Workstream with AETC for Certified Samples, 30,000 TPA Facility Design
Summary
Zentek's wholly-owned subsidiary, Albany Graphite Corp., has executed an agreement with American Energy Technologies Co. (AETC) to manufacture certified graphite samples and provide process engineering inputs for the Albany Graphite Project's Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA). This engagement completes the set of three independent workstreams feeding the PEA, following previous announcements regarding Micon International for engineering and AppEco Inc. for market studies. AETC will produce 4N, 4N+, and 5N+ purity graphite samples with Certificates of Analysis, crucial for high-value markets, and develop a conceptual design for a 30,000 metric tonnes per annum purification facility. This development significantly de-risks the project by ensuring all critical technical and market inputs for the PEA are in place, providing a strong foundation for future investor and partner evaluations. The market will now anticipate the completion of these deliverables and the full PEA report, expected this summer.
