investor relations services financial

"engaged IMPAQ, an independent service provider, to deliver investor relations services"

Investor relations services are the communication and information tasks a company uses to keep current and potential investors informed and confident—like a friendly translator between a business and its shareholders. These services organize financial reports, answer investor questions, manage earnings calls and public disclosures so people can judge a company’s health; clearer, timely information reduces uncertainty and can directly affect investor decisions and a stock’s market value.

NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment regulatory

"with a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for completion"

nuclear-grade graphite technical

"consistent with published benchmarks for nuclear-grade graphite"

Nuclear-grade graphite is a very pure, specially manufactured form of carbon used inside certain types of nuclear reactors to slow neutrons and support reactor structures without introducing radioactive-contaminating impurities. Think of it as the high-grade, precision wood used to build a sensitive instrument: its consistency and low impurities matter for safety, performance and regulatory approval. Investors watch it because limited suppliers, long lead times and strict standards can affect reactor projects, costs and supply-chain risk.

critical minerals technical

"Albany is the principal critical minerals asset, advancing toward a PEA"

Materials needed to build modern technologies—like batteries, electronics, renewable energy systems and defense equipment—that have few easy substitutes and often come from a small number of countries or mines. Investors care because their supply can be disrupted, expensive or slow to increase, which affects the cost, availability and growth prospects of companies and industries that rely on them; think of them as critical spare parts for the global economy.

bench-scale testing technical

"Independent bench-scale testing conducted in collaboration with American Energy"

Bench-scale testing is small-scale, controlled experimentation of a product or process carried out in a lab or workshop to prove it works before larger pilot or commercial production. Like making a single recipe in a kitchen to confirm the method and ingredients, it helps reveal technical problems, likely costs and performance limits early on, so investors can judge whether a technology is feasible and how risky scale-up and future spending will be.

Management Commentary

"IMPAQ's mandate is to broaden Zentek's audience among investment professionals across North America. Two things are worth their attention. Albany, our principal critical minerals asset, has been independently purified to 99.9992% purity at bench scale, consistent with published benchmarks for nuclear-grade graphite - with a NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment targeted for completion this summer. ZenGUARD™, our patented graphene coating platform, is already generating commercial revenue. We selected IMPAQ in part because their outreach runs in both English and French. Quebec is a hub for graphite and graphene companies, and the investors who follow that sector should know Zentek's name," said Mohammed (Moe) Jiwan, Chief Executive Officer of Zentek.

Mr. Peter Wood, P.Eng., P.Geo., Vice President, Development of AGC, a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical information contained in this news release.
